Why Benavides Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Benavides is a small West Texas city with a population of 1,670, set in a semi-arid landscape that sees 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches. With a steady growth rate of 0.10% annually and a broader metro area population of 2.5+ million, local housing and outdoor projects are modest but consistent. That steady, incremental development creates regular demand for basic site work—grading low spots, building up pads for sheds, repairing driveways, and creating simple retaining berms. Homeowners in Benavides look for reliable, compactable materials that hold shape through hot, sunny stretches and brief heavy rains, so choosing the right fill material matters for long-term stability and drainage.Popular Projects in Benavides This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Benavides Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Benavides.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and whether the dirt is screened. Expect a typical range of about $8 to $25 per ton for unscreened fill dirt and $15 to $40 per ton for screened fill, with small-town delivery fees sometimes added. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days; request a local quote for an exact price and any delivery fee to Benavides (Duval County).
For grading and yard leveling use a general clean fill dirt or structural fill with minimal organic matter to reduce future settling. For driveways, do not rely on fill dirt as the wearing surface; use fill dirt for subgrade then add 4-6 inches of compactable base rock (crusher-run or limestone) for the driving surface. Mention any color or screening preference in Order Notes and consult our team if you need engineered structural fill for load-bearing work.
A quick rule: 1 inch of material over 100 square feet equals about 0.31 cubic yards. That converts to roughly 0.4 to 0.5 tons per inch for typical fill dirt (density varies by moisture and compaction). For larger areas, 1 inch over 1,000 square feet is about 3.09 cubic yards, or roughly 3.7 to 4.6 tons.
Hello Gravel connects you with local Duval County suppliers and regional haulers who deliver by tri-axle dump truck. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; include delivery details in the Order Notes and ask our team for local supplier recommendations.
Clay and caliche are common in West Texas and can affect drainage and compaction. Fill dirt will compact, but on hard caliche or expansive clay you may see poor drainage or lateral movement unless you add proper base rock, geotextile fabric, or undercut problematic layers. For driveways or structural pads, plan for subgrade preparation and consult a contractor to address caliche and clay before placing large fills.
Use fill dirt for raising grade or filling voids and then cap with crusher-run or limestone screenings for the driveway surface. Crusher-run compacts well and contains angular rock plus fines that lock together for strength, while limestone screenings provide a smooth, compactable wearing surface. Relying on fill dirt alone for the driving surface will lead to rutting and frequent maintenance.
A driveway with a properly compacted fill-dirt subgrade and a crushed-stone surface can last many years with routine maintenance like regrading and topping as needed. If you use fill dirt as the surface, expect frequent potholes, ruts, and more frequent material replacement—often annually in heavy-use areas. Local climate (occasional heavy rains and dry spells) can accelerate settling, so good drainage and compaction reduce long-term costs.
Most residential projects in Benavides do not require a permit for placing fill on private property, but regulations can apply if you change drainage, work in a floodplain, or are subject to an HOA. Check Duval County planning and any municipal or HOA rules before delivery, and call our team if you need help locating local permitting contacts. Always avoid blocking public drainage easements or right-of-ways.
Place fill in 4- to 8-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to achieve proper density and reduce future settling. Lightly moisten very dry fill before compaction, avoid placing fill on frozen or saturated soils, and trim edges for good drainage. For critical areas, consider geotextile fabric, engineered fill, or professional testing and compaction specifications.
Screened fill dirt usually costs more because fines and debris are removed; expect screened material to run roughly 20% to 100% higher than unscreened, depending on local supply. In practical terms, unscreened fill may be in the $8 to $25 per ton range while screened fill often falls in the $15 to $40 per ton range in West Texas, but local quotes vary. Ask Hello Gravel for side-by-side quotes from nearby suppliers to compare exact cost per ton and per cubic yard.

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.
