Why Big Spring Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Big Spring has a city population of 24,297 and sits within a metro area of 2.5+ million, making it a practical center for West Texas building and landscaping work. The area’s steady growth of 0.40% annually, combined with a regional climate of 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and hardiness zone 8b, shapes how materials perform on local sites. Homeowners and contractors here often need reliable fill to raise grades, prepare foundations, correct drainage, and build driveway sub-bases. High-quality, low-organic fill is sought to reduce future settling, improve compaction, and limit erosion when occasional heavy rains occur, while matching the region’s local geology and construction rhythms.Popular Projects in Big Spring This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Big Spring Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Big Spring.
Prices for delivered fill dirt in Big Spring vary by supplier, distance, and material quality, but homeowners in West Texas typically see a wide range. Expect delivered prices often between about $10 and $35 per ton, not including any special delivery fees or minimums. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and may offer free delivery in some areas; check your zip code or request a quote for an exact price.
Hello Gravel connects you with local Big Spring suppliers and contracted haulers in the West Texas region, so you can get quotes and scheduled delivery without calling multiple companies. If you want specific names, enter your zip code on our site or contact our team and we will provide nearby vendors that serve your address.
A simple way is to calculate the volume in cubic yards (length x width x depth in feet, divided by 27) and then convert to tons. For typical West Texas fill dirt, use about 1.2 tons per cubic yard as a practical rule of thumb for compacted material. For example, a 12 ft by 20 ft driveway at 3 inches deep is about 2.2 cubic yards, roughly 2.6 to 3.0 tons of fill dirt.
Big Spring's hot summers, periodic flash storms, and local clay or caliche layers can cause fill dirt to shrink, settle, or erode if not installed and drained properly. Plan for good grading and slope away from structures, and compact fill in lifts to limit settlement. For long-term stability, consider surface drainage measures (swales, rock) and vegetation or mulch to reduce erosion after placement.
For most residential fills, place fill dirt in 4 to 6 inch lifts and compact each lift to reduce future settlement. Small jobs can be compacted with a plate compactor; larger areas usually need a vibratory roller and contractor-grade equipment. If the fill supports structures or driveways, follow local code or an engineer's specs and ask contractors about target compaction (commonly 90-95% relative compaction) for structural fills.
Possibly. Many municipal rules, floodplain regulations, and HOAs have requirements about importing soil, changing grade, or altering drainage. Before delivery, check with the City of Big Spring Public Works, your county office, and your HOA for permit or setback rules, and be sure not to block public drainage or right-of-way.
Use fill dirt to raise grades, backfill, or build up low spots where structural strength is not the top priority. For driveways and pads that will carry vehicles, crusher run or an engineered base is a better choice because it compacts tightly and sheds water better, reducing rutting and settlement. Crusher run costs more than basic fill dirt but typically saves money long term by reducing maintenance and repaving needs.
Hello Gravel standard delivery requires at least 2 business days for scheduling, with a next-day option available for qualifying orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Trucks are contracted local haulers and may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion; request spreading at checkout and be prepared that drivers will assess access and safety on arrival. Remember the 3-ton minimum order and make sure the delivery spot is accessible for a tri-axle dump truck.
Labor and equipment rates vary by scope, but expect contractor costs to depend on access, site prep, and whether heavy equipment (skid steer, backhoe, roller) is needed. For small residential jobs, you might see flat bids in the low hundreds to a few thousand dollars; hourly equipment/operator rates commonly range from about $75 to $150 per hour depending on machine and crew size. The best approach is to get multiple written quotes that specify grading, compaction lifts, and cleanup.
Clear the delivery and placement area of debris, mark property lines, and call 811 to locate underground utilities before any digging or spreading. Designate a safe dump location that a tri-axle truck can reach, note any low-clearance obstacles, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to attempt spreading (no guarantee). Finally, plan for compaction after delivery and arrange equipment or a contractor if you need a compacted finished surface.
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.
