Service Types

For projects needing a stable subbase we recommend road base or crusher run. For decorative work, our river rock and decomposed granite are popular choices across the Rio Grande Valley.
Why These Aggregates Work in Hidalgo County
Regional geology and soils
Hidalgo County sits in the southern Texas Rio Grande Valley on alluvial flats and coastal plain sediments. Soils range from sandy loams near older river channels to heavier clay and silty clay in low-lying agricultural areas. These soil types influence drainage performance and compaction needs for driveways and foundations.
Climate and weather considerations
The subtropical climate brings hot, humid summers and a distinct hurricane season in late summer and fall. Heavy rains can cause localized flooding, so choosing aggregates with good drainage properties is essential. For French drains or perimeter drainage we recommend drain rock or #57 stone for reliable runoff control.
Local construction trends and challenges
Developments in Edinburg, McAllen, and Mission often require affordable, low-maintenance surface materials. Permeable surfaced drives using compacted crusher run or decomposed granite reduce runoff and resist rutting. In coastal plain soils, adding a granular subbase like 3/4 inch crushed stone under paving or asphalt improves lifespan and reduces maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel in Hidalgo County
Yes. We provide free standard delivery across Hidalgo County for most addresses, including Edinburg, McAllen, and Mission. Delivery times vary by load size and location, and expedited options are available for large orders.
As a quick guide, a small single car driveway typically requires 5 to 7 cubic yards of base material. For two car or thicker base layers, plan on 8 to 12 cubic yards. We can calculate exact quantities if you provide dimensions and desired depth.
Angular aggregates like 3/4 inch crushed stone and #57 stone shed water well and compact into stable bases. For drainage systems, drain rock and #57 stone are recommended. We advise adding a proper subbase and geotextile in low-lying areas with clay soils.
Yes. We deliver small bulk loads and can advise on offload best practices. For tight-access yards we can drop at curbside or coordinate a machine offload for placement. Common small order materials include topsoil and fill dirt.
We offer recycled options such as crushed concrete for base layers and projects that benefit from sustainable materials. Recycled products meet local building standards for driveways and subbase installations.
For bedding and jointing, washed sand or mason sand is preferred for pavers and masonry. Washed sand resists compaction issues in humid southern climates and helps locks set pavers securely while allowing surface runoff.
River rock is larger and round, good for water features and erosion control. Pea gravel is small and comfortable for walkways. For drainage channels use river rock; for play areas or informal paths choose pea gravel or walkway gravel.
