Gravel: Coastal Drainage And Heat Resistance • Reliable Local Gravel Delivery And Scheduling
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Port Isabel Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Port Isabel is a coastal community with a city population of 8,490 and is part of a broader West Texas metro area with a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, local demand for residential landscaping, driveway repair, and small-scale construction is rising. The climate—about 228/year sunny days, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates a need for durable, well-draining surfaces that handle both sun exposure and periodic coastal rain. Homeowners often seek quality aggregates to stabilize sandy soils, reduce erosion, and create low-maintenance landscapes that stand up to coastal conditions. Gravel is a practical, cost-effective choice when properly specified for local grading and drainage needs.Popular Projects in Port Isabel This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Port Isabel gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Port Isabel.
Prices vary by gravel type and supplier, but expect roughly $35 to $75 per ton for common landscape and driveway gravels in the Port Isabel area. Final price depends on material (pea, crushed stone, shell), local availability, and delivery; Hello Gravel shows exact quotes for your zip code during checkout. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees or next-day options may change final cost.
Port Isabel's salt air, high humidity, and sandy soils mean you should choose materials that resist salt corrosion and provide good drainage, such as crushed stone or washed gravel. Avoid materials that break down quickly in wet conditions, and consider a thicker base for driveways because coastal soils can shift more than inland soils. Tell us about your project and local conditions so we can recommend the best material.
Local homeowners and contractors often use gravel for driveways and parking pads, shoreline access paths, dune-safe walkways, and base material for patios or sheds. Small commercial projects and seasonal repairs after storms also drive demand for clean, well-draining aggregates. Check local permitting for shoreline or floodplain work before ordering.
River gravel (rounded stones) is smooth and visually attractive but can shift and be slippery when wet, while pea gravel (small, rounded 3/8" stones) compacts less and is good for walkways and play areas. For Port Isabel's humid, coastal conditions, crushed angular stone often performs better for driveways and drainage because it locks together and sheds water. Choose pea or river gravel for decorative paths where appearance matters and slope/containment are controlled.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 10 to 14 tons, and delivered load prices in the Port Isabel area commonly range from about $250 to $1,000 depending on material type, distance, and truck availability. Hello Gravel provides per-ton quotes and shows delivery fees up front; ordering during standard delivery windows (2+ business days) is usually less expensive than rush deliveries. For exact pricing, enter your address on our site to get a tailored quote.
For a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 4 inches deep, you need roughly 17 to 19 tons of gravel. Coastal sites in Port Isabel often benefit from a deeper compacted base (6 inches) to counter soft sandy soils, which would increase the requirement to about 25 to 28 tons. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a custom estimate that accounts for existing soil and slope.
Delivery costs can be higher in Port Isabel compared with larger inland markets because of fewer local quarries, coastal routing, and seasonal demand from tourism and storm repairs. Hello Gravel sources regionally to keep costs reasonable, but final delivery pricing reflects truck distance and local supplier rates. We recommend ordering with standard lead time to avoid expedited fees.
Buy in bulk (minimum 3 tons), choose locally sourced material, and schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) to avoid rush fees. Picking a common material size and placing a consolidated order for multiple nearby jobs can also lower per-ton cost; you can compare quotes and materials on Hello Gravel for your zip code. If you can pick up material with a suitable vehicle, that may lower cost but check local supplier requirements first.
Avoid pea gravel on slopes, high-traffic driveways, or areas that get frequently wet and tracked, because it does not lock together well and can migrate or wash away in heavy rain. It is also not ideal around pools or narrow walkways where loose stones can be a nuisance. For those uses in Port Isabel's coastal environment, consider crushed stone or compactable base materials instead.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request spreading at checkout but it is not guaranteed. Upon arrival they will assess access, safety, and whether spreading can be done without equipment; if spreading is essential, plan to hire a local crew or request spread-by-contractors in advance. Hello Gravel will note your request so the driver is aware, but please expect that spreading is conditional.
Gravel appearance varies by local geology and supplier, so colors and textures you receive in Port Isabel may differ from stock photos. Salt exposure and local crusher processes can also change surface appearance and grading. If color or size is important, add notes at checkout and ask for supplier specifics or a sample before ordering.
For storm-damaged driveways or shoreline access, use well-graded, angular crushed stone for a stable base and larger armor stone where erosion is severe; smaller decorative gravels will wash away quickly. Work with local contractors and check any coastal permitting rules before placing material near dunes or tidal areas. Hello Gravel can schedule deliveries quickly for urgent repairs, but next-day service may incur extra fees.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
