Why Denton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Denton has a population of 7,910 and is experiencing steady development with a growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate—with 228 sunny days per year and about 34.00 inches of rain annually in a hardiness zone of 8b—creates both opportunity and demand for residential projects like grading, foundation backfill, and yard regrading. As homes are updated or new landscaping is added, homeowners need reliable, regional-fill materials to ensure proper drainage and stable grades. Good fill dirt helps prevent washouts, supports patios and sheds, and reduces the risk of uneven settling that comes from seasonal wet-dry cycles in this area.Popular Projects in Denton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Denton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Denton.
Prices in Denton vary by supplier, delivery distance, and moisture, but expect roughly $10 to $40 per cubic yard (or about $12 to $45 per ton). Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows upfront pricing during checkout—get a local quote for an exact cost.
A 10-yard load typically costs between $100 and $400 before delivery fees, depending on dirt type and local rates. With Hello Gravel you can see delivery options and any additional fees at checkout; ask about next-day delivery if you need it fast.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, roughly a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube, though loose piles are lower and wider. For yard work it often looks like a modest mound you can move with a shovel and several wheelbarrows.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper because it contains less organic material than topsoil. Use fill dirt for grading and structural fills, and buy topsoil or screened soil where you plan to grow grass or plants.
Coverage depends on truck size and desired depth. A tri-axle dump truck commonly carries about 8 to 12 cubic yards; one cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches—multiply by the truck yardage to estimate coverage for your Denton job.
Bulk is almost always more cost-effective for medium and large jobs because you pay per cubic yard rather than per bag. Bulk delivery also reduces labor; Hello Gravel delivers by dump truck so you avoid buying and hauling many heavy bags.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and regrade yards, especially in Denton where local soils can be clay-heavy. Compact in layers for stability and finish with several inches of topsoil if you plan to seed or plant.
It depends on the truck: many full-size pickups can haul about 1 cubic yard if loaded carefully, but payload limits, bed size, and local road rules matter. For convenience and safety, many Denton homeowners prefer delivery by dump truck through Hello Gravel.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet; a typical wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so expect roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads per cubic yard. Hand-moving large volumes is time-consuming—consider delivery and spreading options instead.
At 2 inches (0.167 ft) one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet. Use that calculation to plan patios, pathways, or shallow leveling in your Denton yard.
A 40 lb bag of topsoil is roughly 0.5 to 0.6 cubic feet, so you would need about 50 to 60 bags to equal one cubic yard. For most Denton projects bulk delivery is faster and usually cheaper than buying that many bags.
Dump truck delivery cost depends on truck size, distance, and site access; a small local delivery may be included or low-cost with Hello Gravel but expect delivery fees for longer hauls or next-day requests. Use Hello Gravel checkout to see specific delivery options and timing—standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available before noon CST for an extra fee.
No, fill dirt lacks organic matter needed for healthy turf; you should place at least 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or a topsoil/topdressing mix for grass to establish. Use fill dirt as a base for grading, then cap with topsoil before seeding or sodding.
Depending on moisture and compaction, one cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons. For ordering through Hello Gravel, check the supplier estimate and confirm whether they quote by cubic yard or ton to avoid underordering.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
