Why Amarillo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Amarillo (city population 206,128) sits on the Texas Panhandle plains, and the surrounding metro area (population 270,000) is growing at 0.80% annually. With a semi-arid climate that averages 265 sunny days per year and about 20.00 inches of rain annually, plus a hardiness zone of 6a, homeowners here face strong sun, periodic heavy downpours, and soils that can compact or erode unevenly. Those conditions drive steady demand for reliable aggregates: grading, foundation backfill, driveway subbases, and yard leveling all work best when you start with clean, compactible materials. Homeowners choose quality fill materials to reduce settling, improve drainage, and create stable bases for irrigation, landscaping, and structures.Popular Projects in Amarillo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Amarillo Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Amarillo.
Prices vary by supplier, truck size, and distance, but a delivered dump-truck load of fill dirt in Amarillo commonly ranges from about $200 to $600 per truckload. Exact cost depends on truck size (tri-axle vs larger dump), how many tons are needed, and any access or offload difficulty. Use Hello Gravel to get local quotes for your zip code and compare suppliers.
To cover 1,000 sq ft you need roughly: 1" = about 3.1 cubic yards (approx 3.7 to 4.6 tons), 2" = about 6.2 cubic yards (approx 7.4 to 9.3 tons), 3" = about 9.3 cubic yards (approx 11.1 to 13.9 tons), 6" = about 18.5 cubic yards (approx 22.2 to 27.8 tons). We used a common conversion of 1 cubic yard of fill dirt = 1.2 to 1.5 tons; actual tonnage can vary with moisture and soil type. Order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and grading.
Same-day delivery is possible in some cases but is not guaranteed; Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST and an extra fee. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion and depends on site access and safety; compaction is usually a separate service and often requires a contractor or equipment. Check available delivery and add-on services when you request a quote.
Costs vary by length, depth of base, and labor, but a typical installed gravel driveway with a compacted fill dirt base often runs about $1.50 to $4.50 per sq ft in Amarillo. For example, a 20 ft x 50 ft driveway (1,000 sq ft) could cost roughly $1,500 to $4,500 including materials, delivery, and professional compaction. Get specific quotes through Hello Gravel and local contractors because depth, drainage prep, and local material prices will change the final number.
Yes, clean fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level yards, but it should be placed in thin lifts and compacted as you go to avoid future settling. Compaction is especially important in the Amarillo area where clay or caliche layers can affect stability and drainage. Also consider adding drainage features and avoiding rich topsoil or organic material in the structural fill.
One ton of fill dirt covers about 250 sq ft at 1" depth, about 125 sq ft at 2", about 83 sq ft at 3", and about 41 sq ft at 6" (using a common conversion of roughly 0.77 cubic yards per ton). A 50 lb bag of pea gravel is roughly 0.5 cubic foot and will cover about 6 sq ft at a 1" depth. For larger jobs in Amarillo, bulk delivery is almost always more economical than buying many bags.
Bulk dump delivery is usually the most cost-effective option per ton for Amarillo projects, especially for volumes above the Hello Gravel minimum order of 3 tons. Contractor or customer pickup can save delivery fees if you have the right truck and equipment, but bagged retail is typically the most expensive per unit. Compare delivered quotes and consider labor and equipment costs before choosing pickup vs delivery.
City codes vary and some areas or HOAs may require permits or limits on changes to grade, so check Amarillo city regulations and your neighborhood rules before starting work. Even where not required, good practice is to prepare a stable subgrade, handle drainage away from structures, and remove organic topsoil where a structural fill or driveway base is needed. For larger or critical projects, consider a short geotechnical review or contractor assessment to avoid future settling or drainage problems.
In Amarillo you can buy fill dirt from local quarries, landscape supply yards, and dirt contractors; Hello Gravel connects you to nearby suppliers and haulers. Suppliers commonly sell by ton or by cubic yard; quotes from Hello Gravel will state which unit is used. Always confirm whether the price includes delivery and any minimum-order requirements.
Budget roughly $1,500 to $4,500 for a 1,000 sq ft area when you include delivered fill dirt base, material for the gravel surface, and professional compaction, with the wide range reflecting depth, material choice, and labor. A simple breakdown: material and delivery for the fill base, gravel material costs, and machine time/labor for grading and compaction. Get detailed local quotes through Hello Gravel to lock in numbers for your zip code and project specifics.
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.
