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.

Why Matador Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Matador has a city population of 590 and sits in the wide-open landscape of West Texas, where steady, measured growth (0.90% annually) meets a semi-arid climate. With 263 sunny days per year, 23.77 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 7b, local homeowners face hot, dry summers and occasional heavy rains that test driveways, drainage, and landscape beds. That combination creates steady demand for durable, low-maintenance aggregates: gravel stabilizes rural driveways and ranch roads, improves drainage around foundations, and provides a low-water, erosion-resistant surface for patios and paths. Homeowners in Matador choose quality gravel to reduce long-term upkeep, prevent washouts during storms, and keep dust down in dry spells.Popular Projects in Matador This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Matador gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Matador.
In Matador and West Texas, crushed limestone (3/4" to 1") and caliche-based road base are the most common choices for driveways and ranch roads. They compact well, resist washouts better than very small fines, and are widely available from local suppliers. River rock or rounded gravel is used for decorative areas but is not ideal for high-traffic lanes.
A quick rule: one cubic yard of crushed gravel weighs about 1.4 tons, so multiply the cubic yards needed by 1.4 to estimate tons. For example, a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway with a 4" depth is about 74 cubic feet or 2.7 cubic yards (about 3.8 tons). Always add 5-10% for compaction and grading, and contact our team if you want help calculating exact amounts.
Because Matador is small and rural, delivery fees can be higher than in Lubbock or Amarillo due to longer hauls and fewer local suppliers. Hello Gravel lists clear delivery pricing at checkout and many areas still qualify for free delivery, but check your zip code for exact rates. If you need delivery outside standard service routes, expect an extra per-ton or flat haul fee.
Matador's hot, dry, and windy climate plus local calcareous soils mean gravel loses fines to wind and dust more quickly and can scour during sudden storms. Low rainfall reduces natural settling, so mechanical compaction and proper base preparation are important. Also watch for expansive clay patches under the gravel that can cause rutting after rare wet events.
A well-graded mix with a blend of 3/4" crushed stone and some finer material (called 'road base' or 'crusher run') generally reduces both dust and washout. The angular crushed stone locks together better than rounded rock, and a small proportion of fines helps bind the surface. For dusty sections, consider dust-control treatments or periodic addition of fines, and for gullied areas, increase crown and drainage rather than just adding material.
Common effective options are geotextile fabric under the gravel to separate soft subgrade, cellular confinement systems for soft spots, and polymer or chloride-based dust suppressants for surface stabilization. Polymers and binders can create a harder wearing surface but add cost and require correct application; geotextile also improves longevity with little maintenance. Local contractors can recommend what works best for your specific site and budget.
Costs vary by access and site condition, but screening and grading often add between $0.50 and $2.00 per square foot, or roughly $300 to $1,200 for a typical residential driveway. If significant base excavation, compaction, or import of base rock is required, final costs can be higher. Ask for a site-specific quote—Hello Gravel and local contractors can help estimate combined material and preparation costs.
For private driveways on your property you usually do not need a permit, but any work that connects to county roads, alters public right-of-way, or involves oversized/overweight loads may require permits from Motley County or the Texas Department of Transportation. Commercial hauling companies must follow state weight limits and any local road restrictions, so discuss routing and permits with your supplier or the county before delivery if you expect large or heavy loads.
Local suppliers usually price gravel by the ton or cubic yard, then add delivery fees based on distance and truck size; spreading or tailgate spreading is often an optional extra and may be charged by the hour or as a flat fee. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and shows delivery options at checkout; request spreading in Order Notes but know drivers perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and spreading is not guaranteed. For accurate pricing, request a delivered-and-spread quote that includes labor and equipment.
Inspect and regrade your driveway after every major storm and plan preventative maintenance at least once a year for low-traffic driveways, or once every 6-12 months for higher-traffic ranch roads. Add 1 to 2 inches of fresh gravel every 2-3 years in high-wear spots, keep ditches and crowns clear for drainage, and address ruts early by filling and compacting. Regular light grading and maintaining proper drainage are the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of a gravel surface in West Texas.

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.
