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.
Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
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 Lavaca Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Port Lavaca has a population of 14,470 and sits within a metro area of 2.5+ million residents, making it a small but active coastal community with steady development. Growth at 0.32% annually, combined with local construction and renovation projects, keeps demand steady for dependable aggregates. The local climate—about 228/year sunny days, average annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners need materials that handle both sun exposure and occasional heavy rain. Gravel is a common choice for driveways, drainage, patios, and erosion control because it’s durable, low-maintenance, and performs well in coastal settings where wet soils and sun-driven settling can be issues. Gravel sized and sourced for the Port Lavaca area resists washing out during heavy rains and provides stable footing under heat and sun. Washed crushed gravel and angular stone work well for French drains, driveway bases, and landscape beds because they shed water while locking together for compaction. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers so you get materials that reflect regional geology, clear pricing, and scheduled delivery. Standard lead times are 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and drivers may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion.Popular Projects in Port Lavaca This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Port Lavaca gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Port Lavaca.
Prices vary by type and supplier, but in Port Lavaca expect roughly $25 to $60 per ton delivered for common gravels. Specialty stones or next-day delivery can cost more, and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may offer free delivery in many areas—check checkout for exact pricing.
In Port Lavaca's coastal climate, a compacted base is more important than sand alone. For walkways or driveways, put down a compacted layer of crushed stone or road base and use sand only to level pavers or as a bedding layer; local soils and drainage may require a thicker base to prevent settling.
Pea gravel is small, rounded stones about 1/8" to 3/8" often used for patios and pathways because it compacts somewhat and feels comfortable underfoot. River gravel refers to larger, smooth stones collected from riverbeds and can range in size; it is usually less angular than crushed stone and is chosen for appearance and drainage.
Calculate: Length x Width x Depth (in feet) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.4 to convert to tons. For example, a 100 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway at 3" depth is about 11.1 cubic yards or roughly 16 tons; always round up and factor in compaction and slopes.
You can place gravel over dirt for short-term use, but on Port Lavaca's clay or sandy soils this often leads to rutting and washout. For lasting results, remove topsoil or add a compacted base layer (road base or crushed stone) and install edging and proper drainage before spreading gravel.
Material costs depend on depth and type, but a small 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3" depth needs about 2.6 tons (about 1.9 cubic yards). With Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum and typical per-ton prices, expect material cost around one price-point plus delivery; get a quote at checkout for a precise total.
Most tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10 to 16 cubic yards, which for gravel is roughly 14 to 22 tons depending on material density. To order, use Hello Gravel's website, enter your zip code to see availability, choose gravel type and amount, pick a delivery date, and we coordinate a local hauler—minimum order is 3 tons.
A 50 lb bag contains about 0.482 cubic feet of gravel, which covers roughly 5.8 square feet at 1" depth or about 2.9 square feet at 2" depth. For larger jobs in Port Lavaca it's usually cheaper to order bulk by the ton rather than many bags.
Buying in bulk (tons) from local suppliers and choosing common stones like crushed limestone or recycled crushed concrete usually gives the best price. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier rates and delivery fees so you avoid small-bag premiums and unnecessary hauling costs.
Cost per load depends on truck size, material type, and distance, but in Port Lavaca expect a tri-axle delivery plus material to run between a few hundred to over a thousand dollars. The best way to get an exact price is to request a quote on Hello Gravel with your address, desired material, and delivery date.
Port Lavaca's coastal conditions mean higher humidity, occasional heavy rain, and risk of storm surge in low areas, so choose gravel and base materials that drain well and resist washout. Expect regional variation in color and texture; add erosion control, proper grading, and edging to keep gravel in place.
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.
