Why Surfside Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Surfside Beach, West Texas, is a growing community with a city population of 1.0+ million and located within a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, local homeowners and contractors are steadily investing in landscaping, driveways, and erosion-control projects. The climate—228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.32 inches—combined with a hardiness zone of 8b influences plant choices and outdoor material needs. That steady development and sunny, intermittently wet weather drive demand for durable, low-maintenance aggregates: homeowners want materials that manage runoff, reduce maintenance, and keep yards usable year-round. Gravel is often chosen because it balances affordability with long-term performance, especially for pathways, drainage trenches, and base layers under pavers.Popular Projects in Surfside Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Surfside Beach gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Surfside Beach.
Costs vary by material, truck size, and delivery distance, but expect roughly $300 to $1,200 for a full dump truck delivery to Surfside Beach. A standard tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10-14 tons of gravel; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Coastal deliveries can add fees for access or long hauls, so get a local quote for an accurate price.
Texas black gravel (sometimes sold as black decorative gravel or Blackstar) is a dark, crushed stone used for patios and landscaping. Availability in Surfside Beach depends on local suppliers and regional geology, so color and texture may vary; you can request color notes at checkout but exact matches are not guaranteed.
No, 2 inches is generally not enough for a driveway, especially on coastal sandy soils like Surfside Beach. For a stable driveway we recommend a compacted base layer (4-6 inches of larger stone or crusher-run) plus 2-3 inches of finish gravel. Thicker bases and proper drainage are important here because of loose sand, high water table, and storm runoff.
No gravel truly becomes concrete without additives, but dense mixtures like crusher-run or rock with fines compact well and form a firm surface. For situations needing near-pavement strength in Surfside Beach, contractors may use compacted crusher-run topped with a binding stabilizer or a polymer-stabilized decomposed granite; discuss options with a pro because salt air and drainage affect long-term performance.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and will cover different areas depending on depth. As a rule of thumb: at 1 inch depth it covers about 324 sq ft, at 2 inches about 162 sq ft, and at 3 inches about 108 sq ft. For common landscape uses in Surfside Beach plan on 2-3 inches of coverage, and remember weight converts to roughly 1.3-1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on the stone.
Gravel types differ by size, shape, and composition: pea gravel is small and rounded, crushed stone (3/4") is angular for compaction, and crusher-run is a mix of sizes and fines for a stable base. Choose rounded stones for decorative areas and angular or crusher-run mixes where compaction and drainage matter, which is common for Surfside Beach driveways and walkways.
Coastal conditions mean more windblown sand, salt exposure, high water table, and occasional storm surge, so choose durable, well-draining stone. Angular crushed stone and larger rock for drainage perform better than fine sand-based mixes near the shore, and you should avoid materials that readily break down in salt or frequent wet-dry cycles.
Most private landscaping and driveway projects using gravel do not require a simple permit, but local rules, FEMA coastal regulations, HOA rules, and any work affecting public right-of-way or drainage may require approval. Always check with the City of Surfside Beach or Brazoria County and your HOA before major installations or changes to driveways and shorelines.
Cost depends on width, depth, material, and preparation. As an example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide area at 3 inches depth needs about 2 cubic yards (roughly 3 tons); material plus delivery and basic preparation can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars. Get a site-specific quote from Hello Gravel so we can factor access, base work, and local supplier pricing into an accurate estimate.
Gravel is generally ineffective on the active beach face because waves and tides move it quickly, and adding material to public beaches is often regulated. For private access ways or erosion control behind dunes, heavier stone like riprap or engineered coastal solutions are more appropriate; always check permitting requirements before placing stone near the shoreline.
Drivers may be able to offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading. The driver will assess safety and site conditions upon arrival and determine if spreading is feasible.
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.
