Why Rio Hondo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rio Hondo is a community of 5,460 residents experiencing steady, modest expansion with a growth rate of 0.70% annually. That steady growth—combined with a broader regional market of 2.5+ million people—means ongoing demand for home updates, small-scale construction, and outdoor improvements rather than a sudden building boom. In Rio Hondo’s climate, with 228 sunny days per year and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners prioritize materials that cope with high solar exposure, moderate seasonal rain, and warm winters. That mix drives need for quality bulk supplies—everything from base materials for stable paving and driveways to soils and mulches for low-maintenance planting beds—so projects stand up to sun, occasional storms, and the region’s soil and drainage realities. Local landscaping and construction trends favor long-lasting, low-maintenance solutions: surfaces that shed water during storms, beds that conserve moisture during hot, sunny periods, and materials that reduce erosion on sloped lots. For Rio Hondo homeowners, sourcing the right bulk materials means balancing durability, permeability, and appearance so outdoor spaces are both functional and easy to maintain.Popular Projects in Rio Hondo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rio Hondo Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rio Hondo.
Rio Hondo experiences hot, sunny summers and occasional heavy rains, and local soils can range from sandy to clayey depending on location. Choose materials that handle heat and UV exposure, resist washout in storms, and match your soil for drainage and compaction needs. Permeable options can help with occasional runoff, while heavier, angular materials work better where you need stability.
Material choice depends on traffic, slope, and appearance goals rather than one 'best' product. For durable surfaces pick materials that compact well for driveways, drain easily for walkways, and provide good coverage for garden beds; consider the group gravel, sand, dirt, stone when comparing options. Your contractor or our quiz can help match a material to whether you need load-bearing strength, drainage, or a decorative finish.
High heat and strong sun can dry and fade some materials and accelerate breakdown of organic products, so expect color change and the need for occasional top-ups. Hot, dry conditions also increase dust and settling, which means more frequent raking or replenishing for loose surfaces. Choose UV-stable, dense materials for long-term durability and plan routine maintenance every 1-3 years depending on use.
You can order and install materials year-round, but spring and fall are often the easiest for installation because they avoid extreme heat and the wettest weather. After heavy rains ground access can be restricted and soft soils can limit truck access, so plan deliveries around local forecasts. Book earlier during busy seasons to secure your preferred delivery date.
Local rules vary, so check with the City of Rio Hondo, your county, and any homeowners association before starting work. Typical concerns include driveway encroachment on public right-of-way, visible surface materials allowed by an HOA, and erosion or drainage requirements. If in doubt, contact local planning or code enforcement for guidance before ordering materials.
Many deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks which need enough turning room, firm ground to park, and clearance from low-hanging wires. Some rural roads or private lanes have weight limits or narrow turns, and soft shoulders may prevent trucks from getting close to the delivery point. Measure access, clear obstacles, and tell us about any restrictions so we can coordinate the right vehicle and drop location.
Typical orders vary by project: small garden beds often need 1 to 3 tons, walkways 2 to 6 tons, single-car driveways 6 to 12 tons, and larger driveways or yard reshaping 15 to 30+ tons. We require a 3-ton minimum order, so small projects may need to account for that requirement. Use our material calculator or contact our team with your project dimensions for a precise estimate.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Our minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks, not Hello Gravel-branded vehicles. You can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and request tailgate spreading, which drivers may perform at their discretion.
Materials are regionally sourced, so color, texture, and consistency reflect local geology and can vary from photos. You can add color or texture preferences in your Order Notes, but exact matches are not guaranteed. If appearance is critical, ask for a sample or speak with our team before ordering.
Delivery costs depend on material type, distance from the supplier, accessibility, and service level; some areas offer free delivery while others have a delivery charge. Expect additional fees for next-day service, difficult access, long offload distances, or special handling requests. Get a quick quote on the site to see exact pricing for your zip code and project.
Many local suppliers and contractors offer installation services, but availability varies by provider and project type. Hello Gravel primarily coordinates material orders and delivery, and we can connect you with local pros in some areas if you need installation. Always confirm scope and pricing with the installer before scheduling material delivery.
Contact our customer service team as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. If there is an issue on delivery, report it promptly so we can work to resolve it according to our policies.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
