Why Dickens Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dickens has a city population of 280 and sits within a broader West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.80% annually and a semi-arid profile that records 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, local homeowners balance dry conditions with occasional heavy rains. That mix drives demand for durable, well-draining landscaping solutions—driveways, yard drainage, erosion control, and low-maintenance beds—that perform under intense sun and episodic runoff. Homeowners choose quality aggregates because properly specified gravel reduces dust, prevents rutting, improves stormwater infiltration, and lowers ongoing maintenance compared with loose soil or poorly graded fill. Gravel works well in Dickens' climate because it promotes drainage on properties with sun-baked surfaces and sporadic downpours. Angular crushed gravel and properly graded mixes help lock together for stable driveways and pathways, while open-graded gravels aid infiltration around foundations and dry creek beds. Hello Gravel connects Dickens homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers, providing clear pricing, a simple online ordering process, and scheduled delivery so you get the right gravel for your project when you need it.Popular Projects in Dickens This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dickens gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Dickens.
Delivered gravel in Dickens typically ranges based on rock type, distance to the quarry, and truck access. Expect a general delivered range of about $35 to $70 per ton for common driveway and landscaping gravels, with minimum orders often starting at 3 tons; check your zip code for exact pricing and available materials.
For West Texas heat and occasional heavy rains, angular crushed rock or crushed limestone (3/4" minus or crusher run) is a common choice because it locks together and compacts well. For ranch roads that need better drainage, use larger washed rock (1" to 2") over a compacted base to reduce ruts and washouts.
Using a typical 12-foot-wide driveway as an example, a 100-foot length at 4 inches deep requires about 21 tons of gravel, while 6 inches deep needs about 31 tons. These are estimates using a common conversion (about 1.4 tons per cubic yard); exact needs vary with material density and compaction, so round up and consult our material calculator for your dimensions.
A 12-foot-wide road one mile long (5280 feet) will need roughly 1,090 tons at 4 inches and about 1,640 tons at 6 inches. These figures use the same estimation method (1.4 tons per cubic yard) and are useful for planning bulk orders, but confirm with a site measurement and compaction assumptions.
Hello Gravel connects you to local quarries and aggregate yards serving Dickens and surrounding West Texas markets, often sourcing from regional quarries near towns like Lubbock, Abilene, or nearby county pits. Use our site to check availability by zip code and get quotes from nearby suppliers and hauling partners.
For drainage, use clean, washed stone in the 3/4" to 2" range with minimal fines so water can pass through. For erosion control on slopes or channels, choose larger rock, riprap, or gabion-size stone; combine with vegetation and check dams for best long-term results.
Crushed limestone or crusher run is a practical, cost-effective choice for Dickens driveways because it compacts well and resists rutting; gravel (rounded stone) is cheaper but shifts more and needs more upkeep. Decomposed granite (DG) gives a smooth, compacted surface but can be dusty in hot weather and usually costs more to install; maintenance for all options includes periodic replenishing and regrading after storms.
With proper base, drainage, and occasional maintenance, a gravel driveway in Dickens can perform for many years, but it will require regular attention. Expect to regrade or add a few inches of material every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and storm activity, and inspect after heavy rains to repair low spots and ruts promptly.
Permits for driveway connections or changes typically fall under Dickens County or the local road jurisdiction; rural properties often have fewer HOA rules but you should confirm with Dickens County offices before altering county roads or drive approaches. For deliveries, verify access and truck routing with your county if you have narrow roads or weight-restricted bridges so haulers can plan a safe route.
Hello Gravel works with suppliers that commonly serve a 30 to 60 mile radius around Dickens, but actual radius depends on the local quarry and haul costs. Our platform has a 3-ton minimum order and uses tri-axle dump trucks; larger orders may be more economical per ton due to fewer hauls.
DIY saves on labor but requires equipment rental (skid steer or rented loader and compactor) and time; expect equipment rental of $200 to $600 per day. Contractor installation adds costs for grading, base preparation, spreading, and compaction and commonly runs as an additional line item (often $10 to $30 per ton installed depending on scope), so get local quotes to compare.
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.
