Why Tyler Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tyler has a city population of 142,014 and sits within a metro area population of 2.4+ million. With a steady growth rate of 2.50% annually, the region is seeing continued residential and commercial development that raises demand for dependable aggregates. Tyler's climate—an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and a hardiness zone of 8b—supports year-round landscaping and construction, but also creates specific needs for drainage, erosion control, and durable surfaces. Homeowners here commonly seek gravel to stabilize driveways, create low-maintenance garden beds, improve water runoff where heavier rains concentrate, and form base layers for patios and walkways. Because material appearance and performance reflect local geology, many homeowners appreciate clear guidance on sizes and quantities to match their project and budget.Popular Projects in Tyler This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tyler gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Tyler.
Delivered gravel prices in Tyler commonly fall in ranges because suppliers and truck fees vary. Expect crushed limestone around $25-$45 per ton, crushed granite around $35-$55 per ton, and pea gravel around $40-$60 per ton. For quick estimating, use about 1.3–1.5 tons per cubic yard (we use 1.4 t/yd as a rule), so multiply the per-ton price by about 1.4 to get a per-cubic-yard estimate.
Crushed limestone or crushed granite with some fines (crusher run or 3/4" minus) are common choices for Tyler driveways because they lock together and resist rutting in wet weather. Pea gravel drains well but can wash out or migrate without a solid base and edging. Adding a compacted base and good drainage is more important than the exact stone type in East Texas.
A 20x20 ft driveway equals 400 sq ft. At 2" depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3.5 tons), at 3" about 3.7 cubic yards (≈5.2 tons), and at 4" about 4.9 cubic yards (≈6.9 tons). Many contractors recommend a compacted base of 4" of larger base rock plus a 2" topping of smaller stone for long-term performance.
Yes, many Tyler suppliers and local contractors provide delivery, and Hello Gravel connects you with them. Our minimum order is 3 tons; typical tri-axle dump truck loads run about 10–14 tons depending on the truck. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion; smaller orders under local supplier minimums may carry a delivery fee of roughly $25–$75, but policies vary by supplier.
Regulations vary: some neighborhoods and HOAs in Tyler restrict visible gravel types, colors, or require specific edging, while the City of Tyler or Smith County may have stormwater or driveway permit rules for certain changes. Before installing, check your HOA covenants and call City of Tyler public works or Smith County planning to confirm any permit or drainage requirements. If in doubt, document approvals in writing.
Gravel drains better than compacted clay and is a good choice for drainage beds, walkways, and casual patios in East Texas, but clay subsoil can hold water and cause settling. Use a compacted rock base, geotextile fabric, and proper slope or drainage channels on sloped yards to prevent washouts. For patios and walkways, use edging and a finer topping stone to create a stable, comfortable surface.
Plan on light maintenance annually and topping every 2–3 years depending on traffic and storms: reshape after heavy rains, add 0.5"–1" of topping gravel as needed, and pull in displaced stone from the edges. Periodic grading and re-compaction after winter storms or spring rains keeps the surface smooth. Dust control or stabilizers are optional and may reduce topping frequency but add cost.
Gravel is typically the cheapest and fastest option to install, often usable right after delivery, while asphalt and concrete cost more and require longer cure times. Gravel requires more ongoing maintenance and may need topping every few years, while asphalt and concrete usually last longer with less frequent upkeep if installed properly. For many Tyler homeowners gravel is a practical, lower-cost choice, especially for driveways with moderate traffic or rural properties.
Contractors commonly specify a layered approach: 4"–6" of larger crushed rock or recycled base compacted firmly, topped with 1"–2" of smaller crushed stone or fines (crusher run) for the wearing surface. Use geotextile fabric over soft clay to limit mixing and improve stability, install edge restraints, and ensure the driveway has crown and slope to shed water. For steep or heavy-traffic areas, add deeper base and consider drainage swales.
Yes, some Tyler suppliers offer recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and crushed asphalt which are commonly used as a stable, lower-cost base material. Recycled materials are fine for base layers and driveways but may have more variability in color and fines; check with your supplier on recommended uses. Hello Gravel can connect you to local suppliers and let you request recycled options in the order notes.

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.
