Frequently Asked Questions - San Benito gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Benito.
Near San Benito (Cameron County) common options include crushed limestone (widely used for driveways and base), pea gravel (decorative patios and walkways), river rock (ornamental, drainage features), crushed concrete (cost-effective base material), and decomposed granite (pathways and xeriscaping). Suppliers in the Rio Grande Valley tend to stock materials that reflect local geology, so exact size, color, and angularity can vary by supplier.
Prices vary by type and supplier but typical delivered ranges in the San Benito/West Texas area are roughly: crushed limestone $20-$45 per ton, pea gravel $30-$60 per ton, and river rock $40-$80 per ton; that converts to about 1.3-1.5 tons per cubic yard (so multiply by ~1.4 for a per-cubic-yard estimate). These are ballpark figures—use your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact quotes from local suppliers and note that seasonal demand and truck access can change the price.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery options typically require 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Many areas around San Benito have free delivery included in the listed price, but rural addresses, restricted access, or small orders can incur extra charges; tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion and should be requested at checkout.
San Benito has a hot, humid climate with frequent summer storms and occasional heavy rain or hurricane remnants, so good drainage is essential to prevent washouts and rutting. Use well-graded crushed stone or a compacted base with proper slope and edge restraints to help water move away from surfaces, and add or maintain drainage swales or culverts where run-off concentrates.
For typical San Benito soils, aim for a compacted subbase of 6-8 inches of crusher-run or crushed stone, followed by a 2-3 inch layer of top gravel for wear and traction. If your site has poor soils or standing water, increase the base to 8-12 inches and install proper drainage and edging; compact each layer with a plate or roller for best longevity.
Suppliers commonly use a conversion of about 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3-1.5 tons (1.4 tons/yd3 is a good rule of thumb). Example estimates: a 20x20 driveway at 3" depth needs ~3.7 cu yd (~5.2 tons); a 24x24 at 3" needs ~5.3 cu yd (~7.5 tons); a 10x10 patio at 2" needs ~1.2 cu yd (~1.7 tons). Always round up and check with your supplier for their specific density used in quotes.
Local installation costs vary by scope; basic grading and spreading for a simple residential gravel driveway often ranges from about $1.50 to $3.00 per sq ft, while full prep with excavation, compacted subbase, edging, and compaction can be $3.00 to $6.00 per sq ft. For heavy-duty or commercial-grade driveways that support trucks, expect higher rates and ask contractors for itemized quotes to compare materials, labor, and equipment charges.
Gravel driveways need periodic maintenance—regrading, filling ruts, and adding fresh top material every 1-5 years depending on traffic and storms—so they have lower upfront cost but higher recurring upkeep than asphalt or concrete. In San Benito's storm-prone conditions, expect more frequent attention after heavy rains; asphalt and concrete have higher initial costs but typically lower annual maintenance needs.
Gravel can work for heavy loads if properly built: use a thick, well-compacted base (8-12 inches) of crusher-run, recycled concrete, or larger crushed stone and a strong edge restraint to prevent spread. For very frequent heavy truck traffic or soft subsoil, consider paving or stabilized base options, because untreated loose gravel will rut and require frequent repairs.
Hello Gravel connects you to local quarries, landscape yards, and haulers that deliver in the San Benito/Cameron County area; enter your zip code to see nearby suppliers and exact material options. Check with San Benito city offices, Cameron County, and your HOA before changing driveway materials—requirements can include driveway permits, culverts where driveways cross ditches, or HOA design rules.
Measure the area and use the 1.3-1.5 tons per cubic yard conversion to estimate needs, then round up and add an extra 10% for compaction and settling. Request delivery notes at checkout (preferred drop location, curb access, tight turns), note any color preferences, and ask about tailgate spreading at checkout because drivers will only spread if conditions allow.
Natural aggregates vary by local source, so some difference from photos is normal—Hello Gravel recommends adding color or size preferences in Order Notes when you order. If you have concerns about material quality or consistency on delivery day, contact customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier and review options under our issue-resolution process.
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.
