Why Alamo Heights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alamo Heights, a growing West Texas community with a city population of 680,000 and a metro area of 2.5+ million, is seeing steady demand for home and landscape projects driven by a 0.70% annual growth rate. The local climate—228/year sunny days, 34.25 inches of rain annually, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a need for materials that handle both strong sun exposure and episodic heavy rainfall. That mix of conditions fuels projects like backyard regrading, foundation backfill, and drainage improvements where reliable fill is essential. Homeowners and contractors in Alamo Heights look for clear product information, predictable quantities, and timely delivery so work can proceed around seasonal planting and construction windows.Popular Projects in Alamo Heights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alamo Heights Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Alamo Heights.
Prices vary by supplier, truck size, and moisture, but delivered fill dirt in the Alamo Heights/West Texas area commonly falls between about $15 and $35 per cubic yard. Smaller minimum deliveries, heavy hauling distances, or next-day requests can push the price higher. For an exact quote, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see local supplier prices and any delivery fees.
Hello Gravel connects you with local West Texas suppliers and haulers that deliver to Alamo Heights; exact suppliers vary by zip code. Typical minimums include our platform minimum of about 3 tons, while many haulers run tri-axle trucks that carry roughly 8 to 14 cubic yards per load. Delivery fees are often included for nearby deliveries, but long hauls, tight access, or next-day delivery can add charges—check checkout or request a quote for precise numbers.
Alamo Heights soils often contain clay that expands when wet and shrinks when dry, so native clay can lead to uneven settling and movement after placement. The hot, dry West Texas climate accelerates shrinkage in summer and cracking, so moisture conditioning and proper compaction are important to reduce future settling. For structural work (foundations, slab subgrade, driveway bases) consider engineered fill or compaction testing rather than placing loose fill dirt alone.
Contractors typically place fill dirt in lifts (layers) 4 to 8 inches thick, moisten as needed, and compact each lift with a plate compactor or vibratory roller until firm. For driveways and load-bearing areas they often replace or cap fill with a compactable base material (crushed rock or road base) and may specify compaction tests. Ask contractors about target compaction (often 90-95% of standard proctor) and whether they will do moisture conditioning and testing for your job.
Possibly. Small deliveries for leveling are generally fine, but significant regrading, changes to drainage, retaining walls, or large volume imports may require a city permit or engineering approval from the Alamo Heights Building Department. Many HOAs also have rules on visible grading, changes to lot elevation, and truck access; check with your HOA and the city before ordering large loads to avoid stop-work orders or fines.
Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 10 ft x 30 ft driveway (300 sq ft) filled 4 inches needs about (300 x 4)/324 = 3.7 cubic yards, which is roughly 4.5 to 5.0 tons of loose fill dirt depending on moisture. For larger or structural fills, add a little extra for compaction loss and talk to your contractor about shrinkage allowance.
Common alternatives include crushed limestone or crushed rock (road base) and engineered fill. Road base and crushed stone compact much better and provide a stable, draining base for driveways and slabs but cost more than raw fill dirt. Fill dirt is inexpensive for raising low spots and backfill but is not recommended alone under slabs or high-traffic driveways where a compactable base material is preferable.
Yes, many local contractors in the San Antonio/Alamo Heights area offer spreading, grading, and compaction services after delivery. Prices depend on job size and equipment; small jobs often run $150-$400, while large grading or site-rework can be $500-$2,000 or more. Hello Gravel also lets you request tailgate spreading at checkout, but that service is done at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed, so get contractor bids for precise spreading and grading work.
Measure your area and use the cubic yard formula (A x depth / 324) and add 5-15% for settlement and compaction. Note access, overhead wires, and gate widths for truck delivery, request photos or a site visit for large jobs, and ask your contractor about compaction and drainage plans before delivery. If you need quick help, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our sales team for personalized guidance and local supplier quotes.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
