1 1/2″ Crushed Gravel
Larger 1 ½” gravel perfect for french drains, drainage ditches, catch basins, and erosion control. Also used in base layers for road projects in areas with poor soil conditions, as backfill material, and for ground cover applications where smaller stones may wash away.
#57 Crushed Stone
Multi-use crushed stone for home & landscape projects. Ranging from ¾” to 1” in size, #57 stone is a versatile product used for concrete production, drainage applications, driveways, parking lots, and as base material under slabs and footings. Large enough to provide drainage but small enough to lock together when applied and create a stable base and a relatively smooth surface.
Topsoil
High-grade soil enriched with organic matter. Perfect for landscaping, lawn establishment and repair, and for improving existing soil.
Fulfillment:
Should never be fulfilled with material that does not include an organic component, though organic components should be small.
2-10% organic is ideal
Crushed Concrete
Recycled concrete aggregate for construction & landscaping. Often used for road base and sub-base applications, as fill material, and for erosion control. Typically 1 ½” down to fines.
Decomposed Granite
Known for its natural look, this compact, durable material drains well and holds up in high-traffic areas. Made from crushed and weathered granite down to a mix of fine gravel and sand—best for patios, paths, driveways, and landscape projects. Can range in color from light brown and tan to reddish and gray, depending on the natural stone color in the region.

Why Dickens Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 280, Dickens homeowners are part of a small, steady community where building and upkeep happen at a measured pace. A growth rate of 0.70% annually points to consistent, ongoing demand for maintenance, small-scale construction, and landscape upgrades rather than rapid development. In Dickens’s climate — hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and 34.80 inches of annual rainfall — material choices must balance sun exposure, heat tolerance, and episodic rain. That combination favors aggregates and bulk supplies that promote drainage, resist erosion, and withstand UV exposure. Local trends toward drought-tolerant landscapes, durable driveways, and low-maintenance yards mean homeowners benefit from reliable access to regionally sourced gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and stone that perform well in these specific conditions.Popular Projects in Dickens This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dickens Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dickens.
Homeowners and contractors in Dickens commonly look for bulk landscaping and construction materials such as gravel, sand, dirt, stone, mulch and other aggregates. These materials cover driveway surfacing, base layers, top dressing, garden beds and erosion control. Regional sourcing means texture and color can vary, so check photos and ask suppliers about local variations.
West Texas' hot, dry summers and occasional heavy rains affect both material choice and installation timing. Choose materials that resist dust and withstand sun exposure, and plan work for milder weather in spring or fall or after the ground dries following rain. Avoid major installation during extreme heat or immediately after heavy storms, as compaction and settling behave differently in those conditions.
Delivery zones and fees depend on supplier proximity to Dickens and road access; check your zip code to confirm availability. Hello Gravel generally has a 3-ton minimum order, offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks and fees may vary for remote or hard-to-reach addresses; tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion.
Local costs vary by material, quantity, and distance from the supplier, so quotes are the best guide. As a rough estimate for West Texas markets, common aggregates often fall into broad ranges depending on type and finish; contact Hello Gravel for a local quote to reflect current pricing and delivery. Remember that taxes, delivery fees, and seasonal demand can affect final cost.
For drainage, larger crushed stone or angular aggregates typically allow water to pass through and reduce pooling. For dust control, choose denser, well-graded mixes or consider stabilization additives and regular watering or binding techniques. For erosion prevention on slopes, use a combination of proper base material, geotextile fabric, and vegetation or riprap depending on the severity of runoff.
Permit requirements vary by county and by project size; small residential landscaping often has few formal permits but driveway changes, culvert work, or grading near roads may require county approval. If you belong to an HOA, check any design rules before ordering materials. When in doubt, contact Dickens County or your local municipality to confirm rules before starting work.
Contractors measure the project area (square feet) and decide the desired depth to calculate cubic yards, then convert cubic yards to tons based on material density. They add 5-15% for compaction and waste and factor in delivery fees, site access, and any spreading labor. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request help from the sales team for a quick estimate.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is typically 3 tons, which covers most small driveway and landscape projects, but some local suppliers also sell bagged products or allow customer pickup for smaller quantities. Availability of small-load or bagged options varies by supplier; check the product listings and pickup options during checkout. If you need less than the minimum, ask customer service about nearby retail options.
Prepare the site with proper grading, edging, and base material before delivery to reduce rework and settling. After installation expect some initial settling and plan periodic top-ups, weed control, and occasional regrading for driveways or high-traffic areas. For tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but understand drivers will assess feasibility on arrival and it is not guaranteed.

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.
