Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, which reflects our platform minimum and local hauler policies. Additional fees may apply for next-day delivery, tight access, offloading in the street, long driveways, or requests for tailgate spreading, so review fees at checkout and contact our team for unusual site conditions.

Fill-dirt can work for building up grade on clay soils because it often contains fines that compact well, but performance depends on the mix and moisture. For structural uses or areas affected by seasonal frost, contractors typically recommend engineered or tested fill placed in lifts with compaction testing rather than loose trucked fill to avoid settlement or frost heave.

For a residential driveway, contractors commonly place 4 to 8 inches of compacted structural base over a subgrade, but fill-dirt alone is not usually the finished surface; garage approaches often need 8 to 12 inches of compacted material depending on use. Building pads require project-specific, often engineered fill depths (commonly 6 to 12+ inches) and compaction; always confirm depth with your contractor or local building department.

Calculate volume in cubic yards: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27, then convert to tons using a typical fill-dirt density of about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard (1.3 is a useful estimate). Add 5 to 10 percent extra for compaction and settlement, or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a site-specific estimate.

Rules vary: Black Jack may require permits for driveway approaches, curb cuts, or major grading that affects stormwater or public right-of-way, and HOA covenants can restrict surface materials or grading. Before ordering, check with the City of Black Jack building/public works office and your HOA to confirm permit needs and any material or appearance rules.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safety, access, and the hauler's policy. Request spreading when you order and leave clear delivery instructions, but plan to have compaction and final grading performed by you or a contractor.

Mark your preferred drop zone, clear overhead branches and vehicles, and call 811 to locate buried utilities before delivery. Tell the dispatcher about narrow driveways, steep grades, or weight limits on private drives; also note any permit or curb-access requirements so the hauler can plan the safest drop.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
