Why Apple Springs Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Apple Springs is a small West Texas community with a city population of 1,050 and sits inside a metro area of 2.5+ million. Growing at a rate of 0.70% annually, the town blends rural lots and expanding residential projects across sun-baked yards and rolling terrain. With 228 sunny days per year, moderate annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and placement in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners face a mix of drought stress and periodic runoff. Those conditions drive steady demand for durable, well-graded aggregates for driveways, base layers, erosion control, and low-maintenance xeriscapes. Homeowners prioritize gravel that stabilizes surfaces, improves drainage, and reduces long-term upkeep while fitting local soil and planting strategies.Popular Projects in Apple Springs This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Apple Springs gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Apple Springs.
Expect delivered gravel prices in small West Texas towns like Apple Springs to vary by material, distance, and supplier. As a rough guide, delivered gravel typically runs about $25 to $60 per ton in rural areas, with higher-end decorative stone or long-haul deliveries costing more. Local factors such as quarry distance, type of gravel, and any small-load surcharges will affect the final price. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will show delivery fees and options at checkout.
For Apple Springs' hot summers and occasional heavy rains, crushed limestone or crusher-run (mixed-size crushed stone) are the most common choices for driveways because they compact well and shed water. A 3/4" crushed stone or 'base rock' is often used for the base layer, with a 3/8" to 1/2" top layer for a smoother driving surface; pea gravel is sometimes used for decorative top coatings but does not compact as firmly. Regional availability can vary, so material color and texture may reflect local geology.
For crushed stone, 100 square feet at 2 inches deep is about 0.9 tons, and at 3 inches it's about 1.3 tons. These figures use a typical crushed stone density and assume full coverage; always allow 10-15% extra for compaction and waste. Also note Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum—orders smaller than that may need to be rounded up or combined with other needs.
Hot, dry summers increase dust and cause surface loosening, which can mean more frequent grading and dust control. Heavy rain events can wash ruts and cause minor erosion or ponding if drainage and crown are inadequate. Good base preparation, proper crowning, and periodic top-ups help keep a gravel surface stable through these weather swings.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and the best natural drainage, but it requires periodic maintenance (regrading and top-ups). Asphalt offers a smoother, lower-maintenance surface but is less permeable and costs more upfront (roughly $3 to $5 per sq ft installed). Concrete is the most expensive up front (often $4 to $8+ per sq ft) and very durable, but it also reduces infiltration; for rural Apple Springs properties where drainage is important, gravel is often the most practical choice.
Many Texas suppliers and haulers add small-load fees or fuel/trip surcharges for deliveries under a typical threshold. Common small-load fees range from about $25 to $150 depending on the supplier and distance; some haulers simply enforce a minimum order. With Hello Gravel, note the 3-ton minimum—any surcharge or exception will be shown during checkout or discussed by our team.
Requirements vary by county, municipality, and any local road-maintenance district or HOA. Private homeowners putting gravel on their own property usually do not need a permit, but if you tie into a public road, alter drainage, or plan significant grading you may need county approval or a driveway permit. Check with your county offices and any local HOA before starting work to confirm rules and setback requirements.
Excavate to a stable subgrade, compact the soil, and install a nonwoven geotextile to separate the subgrade from the gravel and reduce mixing. Add a compacted base layer of 4 to 6 inches (or more for heavy loads) of crushed rock, compact in lifts, then top with a 2 to 3 inch wearing course. Proper compaction, edge restraints, and a slight crown (1/8" to 1/4" per foot) will improve drainage and longevity on sandy or clay soils.
Common options include polymer-based stabilizers or resin binders that lock aggregate together, and hygroscopic salts such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride for dust suppression. Polymers give a more durable, long-term surface but cost more and often require professional application; salts control dust for a season but may need reapplication and can affect vegetation. Check product suitability for your soil and local environment before applying and consider professional advice for any binder application.
Typical maintenance is light grading once or twice a year, plus spot repairs after heavy storms; a top-up of 1 to 3 tons per 1,000 sq ft every 2 to 5 years is common depending on traffic. Annual maintenance costs for a small rural driveway often range from about $100 to $600, depending on whether you hire a contractor or do it yourself and how much material is needed. Keeping drainage working and addressing localized washouts promptly will reduce long-term costs.

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.
