Why Alpine Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alpine is a small West Texas city (city population: 6,980) set in a semi-arid, high-desert landscape that is growing steadily (growth rate: 0.17% annually). With long sunny seasons (263 sunny days per year), a hardiness zone of 8a, and limited precipitation (annual rainfall: 16.67 inches), local homeowners and builders face shifting soils, erosion risk during storms, and strong sun exposure that affects landscaping choices. That combination drives demand for dependable base materials: projects from driveway grading to yard leveling and foundation backfill need quality aggregates and compactable fill. Homeowners choose purpose-made fill dirt to stabilize grades, reduce settling, and prepare pads for structures because poor or organic-rich soil can lead to future maintenance and added cost.Popular Projects in Alpine This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alpine Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Alpine.
Fill dirt is subsoil material with few or no organic components used to raise or level ground; it usually contains fines, clay, sand, and small rock but little topsoil. In Alpine and West Texas the mix reflects local geology, so you may see more caliche, finer dust, and occasional small cobbles compared with other regions. Expect color and texture to vary by supplier; Hello Gravel can show local pictures or notes at checkout.
Prices change with local supply and haul distance, but in West Texas fill dirt often runs approximately $10 to $25 per ton (roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard) delivered as of recent typical ranges. Exact pricing depends on supplier, minimum order, and road access, so check Hello Gravel's quote tool or request a local estimate for a guaranteed price. Large orders or short lead times may raise or lower per-ton cost.
Hello Gravel connects you with local West Texas suppliers that serve Alpine; supplier availability varies by zip code and season. Most suppliers we work with have a minimum around 3 tons (our platform minimum) and delivery fees depend on distance, truck size, and site access; many areas offer free delivery for nearby loads. Request a quote on the Hello Gravel site to see supplier-specific minimums, delivery windows, and any driveway or access notes.
For driveways, a compactable fill with a mix of fines and small angular rock is fine as a subgrade but is usually covered with a structural layer like road base or crusher run. Building pads need engineered or compactable clean fill free of organics and large debris; structural fills are typically placed in controlled lifts and tested for compaction. Do not use generic fill dirt as the final layer for septic drain fields; septic systems require specific gravel and sand per health-department specs.
Use the following approximate amounts assuming average fill density of 1.4 tons per cubic yard and allow 5-10% extra for compaction and loss. 500 sq ft at 4 inches: about 6.2 cubic yards or 8.6 tons; at 6 inches: about 9.3 cubic yards or 13.0 tons. 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches: about 12.3 cubic yards or 17.3 tons; at 6 inches: about 18.5 cubic yards or 25.9 tons.
Contractors typically place fill dirt in 6- to 8-inch loose lifts and compact each lift with plate compactors for small jobs or vibratory rollers/sheepsfoot rollers for larger fills. For structural work such as building pads or road bases aim for 90-95% of standard Proctor density as specified by an engineer; moisture conditioning during placement is important to reach target density. For driveways a well-compacted subgrade followed by a proper base course significantly reduces future settling.
Small deliveries for landscaping usually do not require permits, but larger grading projects, changes to drainage, or work affecting a septic system or floodplain can trigger county or city permits and inspections. For projects involving new foundations, major regrading, or septic work contact the City of Alpine building department and Brewster County offices to confirm permit thresholds and any setback or erosion-control rules. When in doubt, check with local authorities before placing large volumes of fill.
In Alpine's arid climate loose fill dirt can dry, settle, and create dust so proper compaction and surface protection are key to long-term performance. Topcover the fill with gravel, paving, vegetation, or erosion-control fabric and regrade low spots after initial settlement; dust control measures like watering or tackifiers may be needed during dry months. Expect to monitor and touch up areas after the first rainy season when washouts or settling are most visible.
Fill dirt is the least expensive option but it lacks angular aggregate and drainage properties that make crusher run or road base better choices for driveway and parking-pad structural layers. Crusher run and road base compact tightly and shed water, which reduces washouts and rutting; decomposed granite is attractive but may need stabilizers in high-traffic areas. A common approach in Alpine is compacted fill dirt for grade changes and engineered road base or crusher run on top as the structural driving surface.
Supply is generally stable year-round, but seasonal rains during the summer monsoon and occasional winter storms can affect quarry operations, road conditions, and compaction work. Wet weather can delay deliveries and make sites unsuitable for compaction, while peak landscaping season and local construction booms can increase lead times. When timing matters, schedule delivery on Hello Gravel early and consider next-day options if available and feasible.
Suppliers and local contractors typically offer optional services such as tailgate spreading, mechanical spreading with a skid steer, final grading, and hauling spoils offsite; availability varies by supplier. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is done at the driver's discretion; mechanized spreading/grading or hauling off can add several hundred dollars to the job or an hourly rate commonly in the $75 to $150 per hour range depending on equipment and travel. Ask for itemized quotes on Hello Gravel so you can compare delivered material cost versus installed cost with spreading and grading included.
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.
