Why Rockport Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rockport, West Texas, is home to 18,620 residents and sits within a growing metro area of 2.5+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 1.32% annually, local demand for home improvements, new driveways, and landscape upgrades is rising. Rockport's climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 35.50 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates a need for materials that handle both heat and periodic heavy rain. Homeowners look for durable, locally sourced aggregates that provide reliable drainage, reduce erosion, and require low maintenance. Gravel is a top choice because it balances permeability and stability, keeps yards accessible after storms, and suits both small landscaping jobs and larger contractor projects. Choosing the right size and type helps prevent washouts and supports long-term hardscaping performance.Popular Projects in Rockport This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rockport gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Rockport.
Order online through Hello Gravel to connect with local suppliers who deliver to Rockport. We work with regional producers and contracted dump truck fleets to deliver bulk loads (minimum order 3 tons) and can show pricing and delivery dates after you enter your zip code.
River gravel is rounded, larger, and usually used for decorative purposes; pea gravel is small, rounded stones about pea-sized and works well for paths and seating areas. For Rockport driveways that need stability under rain and storm runoff, crushed angular stone (like 3/4" crushed) is usually better than pea gravel, while pea or river rock can be great for low-traffic paths and decorative areas.
Prices vary by material, exact location, and supplier, but in the Rockport area delivered gravel commonly falls in a broad range of roughly $40 to $100 per ton. One cubic yard of gravel typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on the material, and additional fees may apply for next-day delivery or spreading services.
If you have a suitable vehicle and can handle the loading yourself, local pickup can be the cheapest option because you avoid hauling fees. For most homeowners, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is the most convenient and cost-effective once you factor in time, labor, and the 3-ton minimum for delivery.
Gravel can improve surface drainage and reduce standing water when used as part of a graded, well-draining landscape or drive entrance. Washed gravel or larger river rock over a layer of coarse crushed stone and geotextile helps infiltration, but gravel alone will not stop storm surge or major flooding—elevation, proper grading, and larger stormwater measures are also important.
Avoid pea gravel in high-traffic driveways, steep slopes, and immediately around pools because it shifts easily, can track into pool areas, and may be slippery when wet. For those situations choose crushed stone or a stabilized surface instead, and reserve pea gravel for low-traffic decorative paths and seating areas.
Yes, local landscapers and contractors in Rockport and Aransas County commonly provide excavation, base preparation, compaction, and finishing for gravel projects. Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers and you can add installation requests in Order Notes, but confirm contractor availability and pricing separately.
For a typical residential driveway in Rockport, prepare the subgrade, lay geotextile fabric if needed, install 4 to 6 inches of compacted road base (crusher run), and top with 2 to 3 inches of surface gravel. For heavier loads or frequent truck traffic increase base thickness to 8 to 12 inches and compact with a plate or roller to reduce washout from heavy rain.
Many properties in Rockport fall under city, county, or HOA rules that can limit gravel in front yards or require permits for driveway changes. Check the City of Rockport planning/building office, Aransas County, and any HOA covenants before ordering, and ask your supplier to include product details if you need to show material specifications.
Yes, many suppliers can deliver washed, screened gravel suitable for patios and walkways to Rockport. Standard lead time is generally 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST, and Hello Gravel has a minimum delivery of 3 tons—regional availability may affect lead times.
Calculate square feet of the area and multiply by the desired depth in inches, then divide by 324 to get cubic yards (area x depth / 324 = cubic yards). Multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 (varies by material) to estimate tons, or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a quick, accurate estimate.
Deliveries typically come by tri-axle dump truck and require clear access and a safe place to drop the load; the driver will confirm placement and may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. Expect a confirmation call or text, standard scheduling of 2+ business days, and to flag any overhead wires, narrow drives, or access issues in your Order Notes.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
