About Pea Gravel

Pea Gravel is a decorative material sized at 1/4 - 3/8 inch with a density around 2800 lbs per cubic yard. The color runs tan / mixed. Naturally rounded or screened stone chosen for visual appeal as much as function. Used for garden beds, paths, water features, dog runs, and patio surfaces. Holds its look year after year with a quick top-up each spring.

Bulk orders are sold by the ton, with full-truck deliveries (16 or more tons) saving 15 to 20 percent off partial-load rates. Tandem-axle trucks haul 10 to 16 tons per load and fit residential streets; tri-axle trucks haul 16 to 24 tons and work better for contractor pours and commercial sites. We deliver same-day in most metros for orders placed before 11 AM, with a two-hour arrival window confirmed the evening before.

Pricing depends on quarry proximity, truckload size, the current diesel rate, and seasonal demand. The cheapest path is always a full truck dropped at a single address. If your project needs more than one load, splitting deliveries across two days costs less than two separate partial loads on the same day. Send your ZIP and dimensions through the contact form for a same-hour quote that includes the delivered total and the lead time on the lane.

After delivery, plan a few hours on the day of the drop to spread or stage the material. A wheelbarrow moves about 2 cubic feet at a time, which makes longer driveways or larger beds a multi-day job by hand. A skid-steer covers ten times that pace and rents for around $200 per day in most markets, often with same-day pickup. If you cannot start work right away, tarping the pile keeps the pea gravel dry and intact for up to a week without losing weight or color.

How crews use Pea Gravel in San Antonio

San Antonio contractors keep pea gravel on the order sheet for a short list of standard installs. Top of the list is patio gravel, where the material is rolled out on rural drives and acreage projects and screeded to grade. Right behind that is walkway gravel, common across longer driveways and outbuilding work and often paired with edging or fabric below the lift. Local San Antonio orders cluster around the partial-truck range, with full loads booked for paving prep and base courses.
