Why South Padre Island Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
South Padre Island has a city population of 2,170 and sits inside a larger West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million. The island’s coastal geography and steady growth (0.40% annually) combine with a sunny local climate (228/year) and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, placing it in hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions mean homeowners and property managers regularly address sandy soils, salt exposure, and heavy runoff during storms, which creates steady demand for dependable aggregates. Gravel is often chosen for driveways, access pads, drainage trenches, and erosion-control berms because it helps stabilize loose sand, improves water flow, and reduces routine maintenance on beachfront and near-shore properties. Gravel performs well in South Padre Island’s mix of sun and seasonal rain because well-graded, crushed stone holds shape, drains quickly, and resists washout better than loose sand. For paths, driveways, and base layers behind seawalls or around drain outlets, angular gravel locks together for strength while washed stone helps channel water. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers so you get regionally sourced gravel that reflects local geology, with transparent pricing and scheduled delivery. Order online, pick a delivery window, and request tailgate spreading at checkout; drivers will assess spreading feasibility on arrival.Popular Projects in South Padre Island This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - South Padre Island gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in South Padre Island.
On South Padre Island expect delivered gravel prices to be higher than inland areas because of island logistics and local supply. Typical ranges for common gravels are about $40 to $90 per ton delivered, depending on stone type, quantity, and truck access; specialty materials may be more. For an exact price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local quote.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers that serve South Padre Island, and available materials vary by supplier and season. Common offerings include 3/4" crushed stone, pea gravel, base gravel, washed sand, crushed granite, decomposed granite, and local shell mixes. Enter your zip code on the site to see current suppliers, exact product lists, and delivery options for your address.
For coastal durability choose hard, silicate-based gravels like granite, quartzite, or basalt, which resist salt-related breakdown better than carbonate materials. Avoid relying on pure shell or soft limestone for high-traffic or structural areas, since shells and some limestones can erode faster in salt spray and humidity. You can also consider a stabilizer or compacted base to reduce movement and degradation.
A typical single-car driveway (about 12' x 40') needs roughly 8 tons of gravel for a 4" depth of top material; if you include a compacted base (another 4"), plan for about 16 tons total. A double-car driveway (20' x 40') will usually need about 14 tons at 4" or up to 28 tons with an 8" build-up. Because island soils are sandy and can shift, it is common to increase quantities by 25% to 50% for extra base and compaction.
Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood and lot type, so always check with the City of South Padre Island planning department and your HOA before starting work. Minor surface changes are often allowed, but any grading, curb cuts, or changes that affect drainage may require permits. If your property fronts dunes, wetlands, or is in a flood-prone zone, additional coastal or county permits could be required.
Start with removal of unstable sand, install a nonwoven geotextile to separate native sand from the gravel, then build a compacted base of coarse crushed stone (4" to 8" or more depending on traffic). Crown the driveway and slope it to shed water away from structures, and consider perimeter edging and subsurface drains (French drains) where run-off or high water table is an issue. Proper compaction and a firm base are especially important on the island to limit migration and washout during storms.
On South Padre Island expect to top up or regrade a gravel driveway roughly every 1 to 3 years under normal household use, with more frequent attention after storms, high winds, or flooding. Wind-blown sand, beach traffic, and occasional storm surge accelerate wear and loss of material. Regular light maintenance—raking, adding a few tons, and regrading low spots—will keep the surface stable longer.
Crushed stone typically costs more per ton than locally available shell but often performs better and compacts firmer, reducing long-term maintenance costs. Shell can be cheaper and matches coastal aesthetics, but it breaks down faster and can require more frequent topping up. Decomposed granite is attractive for walkways and binds well when compacted or stabilized; its price falls between shell and high-quality crushed stone depending on supply and whether a stabilizer is used.
Yes—truck access, narrow streets, overhead wires, and parking restrictions can affect where a dump truck can safely unload on the island. Hello Gravel delivery uses local contracted haulers; provide clear drop-location instructions at checkout and note any tight access or permit needs. Remember the minimum order is usually 3 tons, deliveries are by dump truck (tri-axle common), and tailgate spreading is available only at the driver's discretion.
Materials are regionally sourced, so texture, color, and shell content reflect local geology and beach-derived materials; photos are examples, not exact matches. If you have a color or composition preference, add notes at checkout and our team will pass that to the supplier when possible, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed due to natural variation.
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.
