Why Tye Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tye is a small West Texas town with a city population of 960, located within a metro area of 2.7+ million that is expanding at about 0.06% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8a—means homeowners need materials that stand up to strong sun, occasional heavy rain, and variable soils. Gravel is a common choice for driveways, perimeter drainage, erosion control on sloped lots, and low-water landscaping because it provides durability, permeability, and low maintenance compared with turf. Homeowners in Tye increasingly seek quality aggregates to reduce long-term upkeep and keep properties accessible during seasonal storms. Hello Gravel simplifies that process by connecting you to local suppliers, offering clear pricing, scheduled dump-truck delivery, and tools to calculate the right quantities for your project.Popular Projects in Tye This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tye gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tye.
Expect a material cost range rather than a single price: common crushed limestone or caliche usually runs about $20 to $40 per ton in West Texas, with delivery adding $50 to $150 depending on distance and truck size. Installation or spreading by a contractor adds labor and equipment costs; typical total installed costs for a simple driveway resurfacing can range from about $400 to $1,200 for a small residential drive in the Tye area. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST.
Crushed limestone and locally sourced caliche are the most common and practical options in West Texas because they compact well and resist dust when maintained. 3/4" crushed stone or #57 stone makes a good base and wearing surface; pea gravel is fine for low-traffic decorative areas but does not compact as well for driveways. Local availability matters, so expect some color and texture variation based on Taylor County geology.
Use this method: area (sq ft) x depth (inches) / 324 = cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 to get tons (crushed stone density). For example, a 12' x 24' (288 sq ft) driveway at 4" depth needs ~3.6 cubic yards or roughly 5 tons. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and it's better to order a little extra for compaction and grading losses.
Yes — caliche and limestone are commonly sourced in West Texas and are generally available around Tye thanks to regional quarries. Typical delivery lead time through Hello Gravel is 2+ business days for standard service, with a next-day option if you order before noon CST and pay any applicable express fee. Exact material mixes and color will reflect local suppliers, so you can add preferences in Order Notes but we can't guarantee exact matches.
Regular grading and compaction are the simplest maintenance to keep a gravel surface tidy and minimize dust. For stronger dust control, consider applying hygroscopic dust suppressants like magnesium chloride or calcium chloride, or a polymer stabilizer for higher-traffic areas; these options perform well in the hot, dry climate. Keep drainage clear and add fresh material or regrade low spots every few years to prevent washboarding and dust generation.
Gravel can work well for rural driveways and farm lanes if built with a proper subgrade and a thicker gravel section (often 6" to 12" depending on loads) and occasional maintenance. Heavy, frequent truck traffic will cause rutting and more frequent resurfacing compared with asphalt or concrete, which are more durable but cost substantially more up front. For driveways that see commercial truck traffic, consider a heavier engineered base or paving for lower long-term upkeep.
Permitting requirements vary: simple driveway resurfacing on private property often needs no county permit, but new public approaches, changes to drainage, or anything affecting a county road shoulder may require approval. Contact the City of Tye office and the Taylor County Road & Bridge department before work to confirm culvert, approach, and drainage rules. Hello Gravel can help you prepare delivery and materials but we recommend checking local regulations first.
With proper construction and maintenance, a gravel driveway in West Texas typically lasts several years before needing resurfacing; many homeowners resurface every 3 to 7 years depending on traffic and rainfall events. Regular grading, adding fresh material to low spots, and dust control treatments extend the interval between resurfacings. Resurfacing costs vary with material and depth, but plan on material costs in the neighborhood of $20 to $40 per ton plus delivery and spreading if contracted.
Remove topsoil and organic material, shape a stable subgrade with a crown for drainage, and compact it well; where expansive clay is present, consider scarifying and re-compacting or replacing poor subgrade with compacted crushed stone. Use a geotextile fabric if you expect poor subgrade mixing or washout, and place a well-compacted base of 4" to 12" of crushed stone depending on traffic and soil conditions. Good drainage is essential in these soils to prevent heaving and washouts during occasional heavy rains.
Gravel has the lowest initial cost and fastest installation, making it attractive for low-budget or low-traffic rural driveways; however, it requires periodic maintenance and resurfacing which raises lifecycle costs. Asphalt and concrete require higher upfront investment but often have lower maintenance and longer service life, improving ROI for high-traffic or commercial uses. If you want a cost estimate tailored to your site, Hello Gravel can provide quotes and local material options to help you compare upfront and ongoing costs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
