Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order.

Next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional charge.

Angular crushed materials like limestone, crushed granite, or locally sourced caliche/road base perform best in Floydada’s hot, windy climate because they interlock and resist spreading. Avoid smooth river rock for driveways; for erosion control use larger angular rock or riprap and consider vegetation or fabric for upland runoff management. Regional sourcing affects color and texture, so expect local variation.

Use these Floydada-friendly estimates: 3u0022 depth = about 1.4 tons, 4u0022 depth = about 1.9 tons, 6u0022 depth = about 2.8 tons for typical crushed gravel. These assume common aggregate densities; order a bit extra (5–10%) to allow for compaction and sloping, and remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum.

Permit rules can depend on whether you are altering a driveway that connects to a city street, county road, or state route. Contact the City of Floydada for in-town driveway changes and Floyd County or TxDOT for county or state road access approvals. It’s a good idea to check with local officials before major changes and ask Hello Gravel if you need help locating contacts.

For a durable rural driveway aim for a compacted base of 6–8u0022 of crushed road base with a 2–3u0022 wearing layer of 3/4u0022 crushed stone on top. Use geotextile fabric under the base if the subgrade is soft, and compact each layer with a plate compactor for short jobs or a roller for longer drives. Add a 1–2% crown (about 1/4u0022 per foot) for drainage and expect drivers to request tailgate spreading at checkout—any spreading is at the trucker’s discretion.

Costs vary by length, site prep, and materials; expect a broad ballpark of $1,500–$6,000 for a typical two-car rural driveway in the Floydada area. Lower end assumes minimal grading and use of on-site material; higher costs reflect excavation, drainage work, and hauled rock.

With good drainage and periodic upkeep a gravel driveway in Floydada can function for many years, but it needs regular maintenance. Regrading to fix ruts and re-establish crown is often needed every 1–3 years, and topping up 1/2u0022–1u0022 of new gravel every 2–5 years is common depending on traffic and wind. Wind and seasonal runoff in semi-arid West Texas can increase how often you need to replenish material.

There are regional quarries and aggregate suppliers across West Texas that serve Floydada; names vary by county and haul distance. Typical lead times locally run 2–7 business days depending on stock, truck availability, and distance; remote or large orders may take longer. Hello Gravel will match your order with nearby suppliers and provide transparent lead times and delivery options for your zip code.

Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and easiest repairs but requires more frequent maintenance like grading and topping up. Asphalt costs more to install but needs periodic sealing and resurfacing every 10–20 years; concrete is the most expensive up front and can last longest but can be costly to repair. For rural Floydada properties gravel is often the most practical due to low initial cost and flexible drainage, while asphalt or concrete may be chosen for driveways with heavier use or where a paved surface is preferred.
