Why Bishop Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bishop is a small but active West Texas community with a city population of 3,800 and regional ties to a metro area of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, 225 sunny days each year, and 34.50 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, local homeowners face site-prep needs driven by new construction, driveways, and yard regrading. The area's varied, often arid terrain makes reliable aggregates essential: residents look for fill dirt that compacts well, has low organic content, and sources locally so texture and performance align with Bishop’s geology. Quality fill dirt reduces future settling, supports foundations and patios, and helps create proper drainage on sloped lots and flat yards alike. In Bishop’s sunny and moderately wet climate, clean, well-graded fill dirt is the right choice for raising low spots, backfilling foundations, building pads, and improving drainage to handle seasonal runoff. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers who know Bishop soils, so you can order the correct material, schedule dump-truck delivery, and get transparent pricing and delivery windows. Order minimums start at 3 tons; request your preferred delivery date at checkout and contact our team for guidance on compaction and drainage best practices.Popular Projects in Bishop This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bishop Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bishop.
Delivery cost varies with distance, load size, and local supplier rates. In Bishop and nearby West Texas towns, customers commonly see delivery fees from $0 (free delivery in some zones) up to about $100-$150 for longer rural hauls; exact pricing is shown at checkout after you enter your zip code. Hello Gravel provides transparent quotes so you can see delivery fees before you order.
Fill dirt is usually fine-grained soil with little organic matter and few large rocks; for raising grade under a driveway, choose screened, clean fill dirt that settles predictably. Fill dirt should be compacted in lifts, but it is not a wear surface; plan to add a structural base (crushed stone or road base) on top for vehicle traffic.
In Bishop's hot summers and areas with clay subsoils, unprotected fill dirt can shrink, crack, or become sticky when wet and may erode in heavy rain. Use well-graded, screened fill, compact in thin lifts, grade for drainage, and consider geotextile or drainage measures to reduce settling and washout during storms.
A 12x20 area at 6 inches equals about 4.44 cubic yards. Fill dirt in this region typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, so you would need roughly 5.3 to 6.7 tons before compaction. Allow 10-20% extra for compaction and waste, so plan to order about 6 to 8 tons; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so you can order the exact amount online.
Many suppliers and haulers in the Bishop area deliver bulk fill dirt, and Hello Gravel connects you with them during checkout. Some suppliers or partner contractors offer compaction and installation services, but availability varies by supplier; request these services in Order Notes or contact customer service for referrals, and remember drivers may only do tailgate spreading at their discretion.
Fill dirt alone is not designed as a driving surface and will rut and settle under repeated vehicle traffic unless properly prepared. With proper compaction and a durable wearing layer (crushed rock or road base) it can support vehicles for many years; expect occasional topping, regrading, and spot compaction after heavy rains or seasonal movement.
Compacted fill dirt is good for building grade but poor as a final driving surface. Crushed limestone or road base provides much better structural support and drainage for driveways in West Texas, while decomposed granite offers a natural look but can wash or rut in heavy rain. For Bishop driveways a common approach is compacted fill to achieve grade, then 4-6 inches of crushed stone or limestone as the wearing surface.
Local rules can apply when fill changes drainage, impacts neighboring properties, or involves construction near public easements; Bishop or county building departments may require permits for substantial regrade or large fill projects. Check with the City of Bishop planning or building department and any homeowner association before ordering large volumes to avoid code or drainage issues.
Some local suppliers offer screened fill and can provide basic soil descriptions or testing on request, but routine lab testing for contaminants is not guaranteed for all loads. If you need certified clean fill or test results (for gardens, septic repair, or sensitive sites), ask the supplier or Hello Gravel for documentation before purchase.
Pricing depends on whether the material is screened, local availability, and haul distance. In West Texas you can expect unscreened fill dirt in a rough range of about $8 to $25 per ton and screened fill or engineered fill to be higher; a cubic yard typically equals about 1.2 to 1.5 tons, so compute costs accordingly. Hello Gravel shows per-ton and per-load pricing at checkout and may offer truckload discounts for larger orders.
Measure the area and calculate volume in cubic yards, then convert to tons using 1.2-1.5 tons per cubic yard and add 10-20% for compaction and waste. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to get local supplier quotes, request screened material if you need clean fill, and note any access or spreading requests at checkout so the driver and supplier can assess the site.
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.
