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.
Road Base
(Class 5 | ABC | Crusher Run) A mixture of crushed limestone or granite, gravel, and sand, ranging from 1 ½” in size down to fines (small particles). Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lyford gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Lyford.
Typical delivered gravel prices in Lyford range roughly from $15 to $40 per ton, or about $20 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on type (crushed limestone, base rock, decorative), availability, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days; next-day delivery may cost extra if ordered before noon CST.
Crushed limestone and local caliche-style base rock are common and work well for driveways because they compact and shed water. #57 crushed rock and crushed granite are good for decorative areas and better drainage, while decomposed granite is an option for pathways and low-traffic yards; select material based on appearance, drainage needs, and local availability.
Use 1 cubic yard per 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth, or 1 cubic yard per 54 sq ft at 6 inches depth (1 yd3 = 27 cu ft). One cubic yard of gravel averages about 1.4 tons, so a 400 sq ft driveway at 4" needs ~5 yd3 (~7 tons); always round up for compaction and waste.
Gravel performs well in hot, dry West Texas because it does not soften from heat, but it can be displaced by heavy rains or flash floods if not properly graded or contained. For durability, use a compacted base, proper slope and drainage, and consider edge restraints; expect occasional regrading and top-ups after major runoff events.
Gravel is usually the most affordable and permeable choice for farm lanes and rural driveways in the Lyford area, and it is easier to repair after flooding or frost heave. Asphalt and concrete offer a smoother, lower-maintenance surface but cost more up front and require better base work; decomposed granite gives a natural look but may need more binding and upkeep on heavy-use lanes.
Regional suppliers around Lyford commonly carry base rock, crushed limestone, and some decorative rock; washed and finely screened products may be less available and depend on your supplier. Hello Gravel coordinates dump-truck delivery (usually tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum; tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion and cannot be guaranteed.
Permit rules vary by location; some driveway cuts onto county or state roads require a permit and possibly a culvert, and subdivisions or HOAs may have their own standards. Before ordering, check with Lyford City Hall and Willacy County road or permitting offices and review any HOA rules to confirm setback, drainage, or material requirements.
Gravel prices can rise in spring and early summer when landscaping and construction demand peaks; late fall and winter are often less busy and can offer better availability and pricing. Keep in mind that heavy rains can disrupt local quarries and hauling, so plan ahead for projects around the rainy season or after storms.
A typical 2-car driveway (about 20 ft by 40 ft) at 4 inches depth requires roughly 10 cubic yards (~14 tons) of gravel; material cost may range from about $210 to $560 based on per-ton pricing. With hauling, site prep, grading, compaction, and labor, total installed costs in Lyford commonly fall between $1,000 and $2,500, depending on site conditions and whether additional base or drainage work is needed.
For a light cover at 2 inches depth, an acre (43,560 sq ft) needs about 269 cubic yards, roughly 376 tons of gravel; at 3 inches depth you would need about 403 cubic yards or ~564 tons. For erosion control on slopes, consult local extension, NRCS, or a soils engineer to pick depth and material type appropriate for slope, runoff intensity, and access for equipment.
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.
