Why Tilden Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tilden, West Texas is a small but steady community of 590 residents situated within a larger metro region of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.30% annually, the area sees measured development and ongoing home improvement projects rather than large-scale urban build-outs. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, in hardiness zone 8b—creates conditions where durable, low-maintenance materials matter. Homeowners in Tilden often choose aggregates that stand up to strong sun, occasional heavy rains, and the slow but steady demands of rural and semi-rural properties. For many projects, that means selecting gravel that provides reliable drainage, resists rutting, and reduces long-term maintenance needs.Popular Projects in Tilden This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tilden gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tilden.
Prices vary by material and local supply, but in West Texas you can typically expect ranges: crushed stone or crushed limestone about $20-$45 per ton, pea gravel about $30-$55 per ton. Regional sourcing and truck distance can push prices higher, so request a live quote for Tilden to see exact pricing. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and shows delivery-inclusive pricing where available.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. In rural areas like Tilden, some suppliers may add a remote delivery fee or fuel surcharge; typical rural delivery fees range from about $50 to $150 depending on distance and access. Always check final delivery cost at checkout or call our team for a tailored estimate.
For driveways, 3/4" crushed stone or crushed limestone provides a stable, compactable base, often finished with 3/8" to 1/2" stone for a smoother surface. For patios, pea gravel or 3/8" crushed stone gives comfortable footing and drainage; decomposed granite is another low-profile option. For erosion control on slopes or drainage swales choose larger material (1"-2" crushed stone or graded riprap) and pair it with geo fabric to limit undermining in Tilden’s sparse-soil, storm-driven runoff conditions.
Estimates depend on depth; use a compacted depth of 2-3 inches for patios and 3-6 inches for driveways. Rough examples: a 1-car driveway (10' x 20') at 3" requires about 2.5–3.0 tons, a 2-car driveway (20' x 20') at 3" needs about 5–6 tons, and a 10' x 10' patio at 2" needs about 0.8–1.2 tons. Always round up 10%–15% for compaction and grading, and remember Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum for deliveries.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers in your area; enter your zip code on our site or contact our team to see which providers serve Tilden. For full installation or grading services, we can often refer local contractors or you can check county listings and community boards in McMullen County. Call 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 for personalized assistance.
Best practice is to remove organic topsoil, grade and compact the subgrade, install geotextile fabric if soil is weak, place a 4–6" compactable base (crusher run or recycled base) compacted in 2–3" lifts, then add a 1–2" top layer of finish gravel. Labor and equipment costs vary by access and site conditions; expect smaller projects to run a few hundred dollars and typical driveway preparations to range from roughly $500 to $3,000 depending on scope. Get a local quote because rock haul distance, haul times, and site prep needs significantly affect price in rural Tilden.
In hot, arid areas like Tilden you should expect routine maintenance: light grading and adding fresh stone every 1–3 years, with more frequent spot repair after heavy rains. Annual maintenance costs for a typical rural driveway often range from $50 to $400 depending on whether you hire equipment or do it yourself, and whether you need dust control or periodic regrading. Using proper base preparation and occasional dust control products can reduce long-term maintenance in Tilden’s climate.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and simple installation, typically $1–$4 per sq ft installed, but requires ongoing maintenance and has a functional lifespan of 5–15 years with upkeep. Asphalt is costlier up front ($3–$6 per sq ft) with a longer lifespan (15–25 years) and less routine maintenance, while concrete is the most expensive initially ($6–$12+ per sq ft) with the longest lifespan (25+ years). For low-traffic rural properties around Tilden, gravel is often the most practical option due to lower initial cost and easy local sourcing, but consider long-term use and maintenance preferences when deciding.
Common dust-control measures include regular watering, magnesium chloride or calcium chloride treatments, and polymer stabilizers that bind surface fines; costs vary widely, from a few cents per sq ft for basic watering up to $0.20–$0.80 per sq ft for chloride treatments and $0.50–$2.00+ per sq ft for polymer stabilizers. For weed suppression, install a geotextile fabric under the gravel, use preemergent herbicides, and maintain a 1–2" finish layer to limit seed lodging; these steps are low-cost when done during installation. Ask Hello Gravel about material types that contain useful fines for compaction and lower dust in Tilden’s dry environment.
Permitting requirements vary by jurisdiction and property type; in rural Tilden many properties in McMullen County do not have strict driveway permits, but you should check with the McMullen County office to confirm local road, drainage, or driveway permit rules. HOAs are uncommon in rural Tilden, but if you are in a deed-restricted community or have an association nearby, verify any rules before installing. When in doubt, call our team and we can point you to local resources to check regulations and typical practices.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
