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
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). 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 Starr County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Starr County homeowners are part of a growing Texas region where nearby city population: 65,920 and a metro area population: 4.6+ million are driving steady demand for residential and small commercial projects. With a regional growth rate: 2.10% annually, builders and homeowners are regularly updating driveways, landscaping, and drainage systems. Local climate—sunny days: 218/year, annual rainfall: 38.97 inches, and hardiness zone: 8a—means projects run year-round but need materials that handle both sun exposure and episodic heavy rain. That combination pushes many homeowners to choose quality aggregates: gravel stabilizes surfaces, improves drainage, and reduces maintenance compared with bare soil or turf in areas that see both heat and seasonal downpours. Gravel works well in Starr County’s conditions because it sheds water, minimizes mud after storms, and reflects heat during hot, sunny stretches. For pathways, driveways, French drains, and xeriscaping, locally sourced gravel mirrors the region’s geology and resists quick breakdown under sun and rain. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to trusted local suppliers and haulers, offers clear pricing, and schedules deliveries to fit project timelines—standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST—helping you get the right gravel when you need it.Popular Projects in Starr County This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Starr County gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Starr County.
Local gravel prices in Starr County vary by type and supply, but a typical range is about $15 to $60 per ton depending on material: crushed concrete and base often sit at the low end, crushed limestone mid-range, and decorative pea gravel toward the high end. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery is usually 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact per-ton pricing and delivery charges depend on your zip code and the supplier—get a quote on our site for the most accurate total.
Suppliers around Roma and Rio Grande City include small local quarries, landscape yards, concrete recycling yards that sell crushed concrete, and regional aggregate producers that haul into Starr County. Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted haulers so we can match you with the best nearby source based on the material you need and your delivery location. Availability and exact gradations will reflect regional geology, so materials can vary from supplier to supplier.
Crushed limestone and crusher-run (road base) are common and well suited for Starr County: they compact well and resist rutting in hot, dry weather. Use a coarser base (crusher run or road base) topped with #57 or 3/4" crushed stone as a wearing surface; avoid loose pea gravel on steep vehicle approaches because it can migrate and scatter. Proper compaction and edge restraint are key in this climate to limit erosion from rare heavy rains.
A simple rule: Tons = (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324, which accounts for typical gravel density and compaction. For example, a 20 ft x 10 ft area (200 sq ft) at 3" depth needs about (200 x 3)/324 ≈ 1.85 tons. As a quick guide, one ton covers roughly 230 sq ft at 1" depth, 115 sq ft at 2", and 58 sq ft at 4"; always round up for compaction, settling, and grading losses.
Some local contractors and landscaping crews provide spreading and compaction, and Hello Gravel drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout. Labor rates in rural South Texas vary; expect small crews or landscapers to quote roughly $40 to $80 per hour per worker or flat jobs ranging from a few hundred dollars to over $1,000 depending on size and access. For reliable pricing, request on-site estimates from local contractors or ask Hello Gravel for recommended local crews after you order.
In Starr County you should grade and relevel ruts after heavy rains, add a fresh top layer every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic, and keep drainage channels clear to prevent washouts. With routine maintenance—regrading, topping up, and occasional compaction—a gravel driveway can last a decade or more; high-traffic or poorly drained sections will need more frequent attention. Use edging and good drainage design to extend lifespan in the local climate.
Permit requirements vary: unincorporated Starr County often has fewer restrictions, but cities like Roma or Rio Grande City can require permits, setbacks, or drainage reviews for new driveways. If your driveway connects to a state-maintained road you may need to contact TxDOT for approval, and most HOAs have their own surface and appearance rules. Check municipal building departments, county offices, and any HOA guidelines before you order materials or begin installation.
Pea gravel is attractive and good for walkways but tends to shift and is often pricier per ton than basic crushed stone; crushed limestone compacts well and is a common, practical choice for driveways. Crushed concrete is typically the most budget-friendly option and works well as a base, but it can contain fines and mixed materials, making it less consistent for finish surfaces. Choose based on use: pea gravel for decorative areas, limestone for driving surfaces, and crushed concrete for economical base layers.
Starr County can experience sudden, heavy rainfall that causes runoff and washes gravel from slopes and driveways; poor grading concentrates flow and accelerates erosion. Contractors typically install geotextile fabric, edge restraints, swales, culverts, or larger rock at outfall points to retain material and direct water away. For severe erosion, a combination of regrading to break up flow paths and hardscaping at critical points is recommended.
Common local offerings include decorative pea gravel (1/8" to 3/8"), #57 crushed stone (approximately 1/2" to 3/4"), 3/4" minus or crusher run (mixed sizes for compaction), road base or quarry processed base, decomposed granite blends, and larger river rock or riprap (1" to 2"+). Naming and exact gradations vary by supplier and local geology, so check product descriptions or ask for a gradation sheet if you need a precise spec.
