Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Tye, TX from Texas Rock Supply. Choose your material by the ton or yard online, and we bring it to your site.

Materials for Tye Projects
Soil is where your project starts in Tye. The ground here is heavy, so the right fill and topsoil make the difference. Use these materials for grading and bed prep before you lay stone or seed.
For a driveway, lay Flex Base first. Compact it well, then add a surface layer of #57 Limestone or driveway gravel. For a walkway, use Stone Screenings as a bedding layer under pavers or flagstone, then spread a finer stone on top for a walkable surface.
Ground and Conditions in Tye
Heavy downpours and flash flooding push water across this part of Taylor County. Expansive clay across the Blackland Prairie and much of north and central Texas shrinks and swells with the season, which is why base depth and drainage carry the job. Water moves, and clay moves with it. Your base and your drainage layer are what keep a driveway or a pad from cracking.
Frost is not the enemy here. Minimal in most of the state; base failures here come from water and clay movement, not frost. So do not design for freeze-thaw. Design for water to leave the surface fast. A 4-inch drainage bed of Drain Rock or #57 limestone under your soil or stone moves water away from the clay, so it stays stable.
Work runs year round in most of Texas; wet spells, not cold, are what stop a base job. Plan your grading and compaction for the dry months. If the clay is wet, it will not compact right. Wait for it to dry, then build your base in lifts.
Delivery to Tye and the Surrounding Area
Bulk material arrives on a dump truck, ready for you to spread. Order online, pick your material, and choose the quantity by the ton or yard. Have a clear drop spot that the truck can reach, close to where you are working. A pad or a firm, level driveway works best.
Tye sits in Taylor County, and Texas Rock Supply delivers here and to nearby spots like Abilene, Buffalo Gap, Dyess AFB, Lawn, and Merkel. For a small job, a few tons of topsoil will cover a new bed. For a larger project, order what your site needs and stack it where it is dry.
Before the truck arrives, think about access. The driver needs room to back in and tip the load. You will spread the pile from there, so put it where a wheelbarrow or a skid steer can reach it. That planning saves you time on delivery day.
