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 Vega Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Vega, Texas, is a small West Texas city with a city population of 1,200 and sits inside a larger region serving a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, local housing and landscaping demand is growing. Vega's climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.32 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—means projects need materials that handle strong sun, occasional heavy rains, and varied soils. Local projects range from small pathways to full driveway rebuilds and outbuilding site prep, so homeowners and contractors prioritize reliable aggregates that control erosion, manage runoff, and reduce long-term maintenance. Gravel works well in Vega because it promotes quick drainage during the area’s 34.32 inches of annual rainfall while standing up to prolonged exposure across 228 sunny days per year. Angular crushed gravels provide a stable driving surface; rounded gravels work nicely for decorative beds and water-friendly accents. Because local soils can be sandy or clay-rich, choosing the right gravel and preparing a compacted base are important for performance. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally consistent material, offers transparent pricing, and schedules delivery so you get the right gravel when you need it. Orders start at a minimum of 3 tons; tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout and is performed at the driver’s discretion.Popular Projects in Vega This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Vega gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Vega.
In the Vega area you’ll commonly see crushed limestone (often used for driveways and base layers), caliche (local, economical base material), decomposed granite (paths and patios), pea gravel (decorative beds and drainage), and river rock (mulch and drainage features). Regional sourcing means color and particle shape can vary, so request a sample or photo before ordering. Crushed stone and caliche are the go-to choices for rural driveways because they compact well and resist displacement.
Rural gravel pricing near Vega is normally shown per ton or per cubic yard, with some suppliers offering a flat delivery fee for remote drops. Typical material-only ranges are about $20 to $50 per ton (or roughly $25 to $60 per cubic yard) depending on type and source, and delivery to a rural address can add $100 to $350 or more for longer hauls. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum on our platform; remote deliveries may have higher minimums or extra distance charges, so check your zip code at checkout.
Use this quick rule based on an average weight of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard: at 2 inches plan on ~0.0086 tons per square foot, at 3 inches ~0.0130 tons per square foot, and at 4 inches ~0.0173 tons per square foot. For example, a 1,000 sq ft driveway at 3 inches needs about 13 tons (0.0130 x 1,000). Densities vary by material, so use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate.
West Texas heat and drought compact fine particles and can turn dusty gravel into a loose top layer, while occasional heavy rains can wash ruts and move fines downhill. Gravel generally performs well in dry, hot climates if you build a proper base, maintain crown for drainage, and add periodic top-ups. For long-lasting surfaces, use a compactable base layer and consider stabilization or larger aggregate on top where washout is a concern.
On Hello Gravel orders the minimum is 3 tons, which covers many small projects. Some local suppliers or haulers in rural West Texas may require higher minimums (5 to 10 tons or a full truckload) or add a minimum-distance delivery fee for very remote drops. If you have a small project, check your zip code in our checkout or contact our team to see if nearby suppliers can accommodate smaller loads.
Common add-ons include grading/rough excavation ($200 to $1,000+ depending on size and complexity), compaction ($0.05 to $0.30 per sq ft or about $50 to $300 for typical driveways), geotextile fabric installation ($0.50 to $1.50 per sq yd installed), and edging or curbing ($2 to $6 per linear foot). Prices vary with site access, slope, and whether machinery is required; get site-specific quotes from contractors to compare.
Gravel can help slow runoff and protect soil on moderate slopes when sized and placed correctly, but it is not a standalone solution for steep, highly erosive sites. Best practices include using larger stone or rip-rap in high-flow zones, installing check dams or terraces, adding geotextile fabric under the gravel, and combining gravel with vegetation or mulch. For severe erosion, consult a landscaper or civil engineer to design drainage structures and specify the right stone sizes.
Gravel has the lowest upfront cost and excellent drainage, making it a common choice for rural Vega properties, but it requires more ongoing maintenance like grading and topping up. Asphalt offers a smoother surface and lower maintenance than gravel but has moderate upfront cost and can soften in extreme heat; concrete is most durable but has the highest initial cost and can be less forgiving on poorly drained sites. For low-traffic rural driveways where cost and drainage matter, gravel is often the most practical choice; for heavy use or long-term low-maintenance needs, consider asphalt or concrete.
Plan to regrade and refill a gravel driveway every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and weather; light topping (1/2 to 1 inch) may be needed annually on high-traffic areas. Typical costs include occasional regrading ($100 to $500) and material top-ups at roughly $20 to $50 per ton plus delivery; weed control or fabric repairs are extra. Regular maintenance like adding a new layer and maintaining drainage will greatly extend the driveway’s life and reduce large repairs.
Vega itself is a small town, and many rural properties fall under county jurisdiction; in most rural West Texas areas there are no strict bans on gravel driveways, but regulations can apply to driveway approaches, culvert installation, or work in public right-of-way. If you are in an HOA or inside town limits, check local HOA rules or Vega municipal ordinances; for county roads or culvert work, contact Hale County or the town office to confirm permit requirements before you start.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
