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

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 Refugio Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Refugio has a city population of 3,040 and sits within a West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million residents. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually and a semi-arid climate that averages 232 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.50 inches, homeowners here need materials that handle both strong sun exposure and episodic heavy rains. Local development tied to energy, agriculture, and small-scale residential growth drives demand for durable, low-maintenance surfacing and drainage solutions. Gravel is a common choice because it stabilizes driveways, improves drainage around foundations, forms stable bases for patios and walkways, and supports xeriscaping plans that cut irrigation needs in Refugio’s hardiness zone of 8b. Gravel suited to Refugio should resist washout during peak rains and allow rapid infiltration to reduce puddling on compacted clay soils. Regionally sourced crushed stone or mixed gravel blends perform well for driveways, French drains, and decorative beds—they reflect heat, suppress weeds when paired with fabric, and require little upkeep under abundant sun. Hello Gravel connects Refugio homeowners with local suppliers and haulers, offers clear pricing and scheduled delivery (standard delivery 2+ business days, next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee), and helps you pick the right gravel size and quantity for each project.Popular Projects in Refugio This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Refugio gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Refugio.
Prices vary by material and local supply, but in the Refugio area you can expect approximate ranges: crushed limestone $20-35 per ton, crusher-run $20-40 per ton, and pea gravel $35-70 per ton. A useful conversion is roughly 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.4 tons, so multiply tons by 1.4 to estimate cubic yards. Local availability and hauling distance can change prices, so check Hello Gravel for an exact quote.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which covers most small driveway jobs in Refugio. Many deliveries are free in populated areas, but rural deliveries near Refugio can incur a fee (commonly $30-$100) depending on distance, truck access, and load size. Standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
For driveways and low-volume rural roads in hot, dry West Texas, crushed limestone or crusher-run (a mix of stone and fines) are commonly recommended because they compact well and resist washout. Use 3/4" crushed stone as a wearing surface and a crusher-run base for stability; pea gravel looks nice but can shift and track more in high-heat, dry wind conditions. Consider periodic top-ups and proper grading to limit dust and ruts.
A 12x30 driveway is 360 square feet. At 2 inches deep you need about 2.2 cubic yards (≈3.1 tons); at 4 inches you need about 4.4 cubic yards (≈6.2 tons). Add about 10% for compaction and waste when ordering and remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum applies.
If your site has clay or poor drainage, a geotextile fabric plus a compacted stone base is strongly recommended to reduce rutting and migration. For typical residential driveways we suggest a 3-4 inch compacted stone surface over a 3-4 inch crushed-stone base with fabric between the soil and base; for heavier loads increase base depth to 6 inches or more. Geotextile and a proper base improve stability in wet spells and reduce long-term maintenance.
With regular light maintenance you can expect a gravel driveway to perform well for many years: plan on grading after heavy storms and light reshaping annually. Add 1/2" to 1" of new surface material every 2-4 years to replace fines lost to wind and rain, and expect a larger refresh (regrading and additional base material) every 7-15 years depending on traffic. Hot sun, wind, and episodic heavy rain in the Refugio area increase surface wear and the need for topping.
Crushed limestone is commonly quarried in many parts of Texas and is generally more available and less expensive near Refugio. Pea gravel is a finished, rounded product that is often less common locally and can carry a premium of 20-50% depending on supply and trucking. If you want a precise price and availability for your zip code, Hello Gravel can provide a local quote.
Yes. Check with Refugio city hall or county offices for any local driveway, drainage, or dust control rules, and review your HOA covenants if you have one because they may restrict surface materials. Common issues include stormwater runoff management, setbacks, and dust suppression requirements. If you need documentation for permits or HOA approval, Hello Gravel can supply material specs and delivery details.
For slopes and erosion control use larger clean stone such as 1-2" riprap or angular 1" to 1.5" crushed rock to slow flow and protect soil, and place geotextile fabric under the stone to prevent washout. For drainage channels and french drains use 3/4" washed rock or 3/4" crushed stone to promote water flow while filtering fines. Combining terracing, vegetation, and proper outlet control will help manage runoff during heavy rains common to the region.
Yes. Wet weather can restrict heavy trucks from crossing soft or unpaved driveways, and narrow rural roads, low bridges, gates, or underground utilities can limit access for tri-axle dump trucks. Prepare a clear, level drop zone and let Hello Gravel know about any access concerns when ordering; drivers may decline to unload if conditions are unsafe. Schedule deliveries at least 2+ business days out and request next-day before noon CST if you need faster service.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
