Why Blanco Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Blanco, West Texas, is a small but growing community of 6,890 residents within a larger regional market of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.32% annually, homeowners and local builders are expanding yards, driveways, and foundations across the area. Blanco's climate — about 228 sunny days per year, 36.49 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — supports active landscaping and construction but also creates challenges for grading, drainage, and soil stability. That combination of sun, seasonal rain, and development activity drives demand for reliable aggregates. Homeowners want materials that compact well, control erosion, and provide a stable base for patios, retaining walls, and utility trenches. Quality fill dirt reduces settling, improves drainage paths, and saves time on rework, so Blanco residents increasingly seek dependable, locally sourced materials delivered on a reliable schedule.Popular Projects in Blanco This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Blanco Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Blanco.
Typical delivered prices for basic fill dirt in the Blanco/West Texas area generally range from about $10 to $30 per ton (roughly $12 to $36 per cubic yard), depending on haul distance, material quality, and truck size. Rural deliveries, special screening, or long-haul jobs can raise the price; we recommend checking your zip code for exact quotes.
Local suppliers near Blanco typically include small gravel pits, landscape supply yards, and farm quarries that can stock or custom-screen fill dirt; availability varies by season. Minimum residential deliveries are commonly 3 tons (Hello Gravel minimum), while some rural haulers require a full truckload for long deliveries; ask about screening lead time and minimums when you request a quote.
For septic/drainfields choose clean, low-organic sandy or sandy-loam fill that promotes drainage rather than clay-rich fill. For driveways use a compactable road-base mix or crushed limestone/caliche base blended with fill dirt for a stable surface. For building pads use engineered, low-organic structural fill placed and compacted in lifts to specified densities; for critical pads consult an engineer for proper gradation and compaction targets.
Hot, dry summers in Blanco dry out loose fill, increasing shrinkage and cracking if not compacted at proper moisture; keeping fill at near-optimum moisture during compaction improves long-term stability. Flash-flood prone rains increase erosion risk and can wash poorly graded or uncompacted fill, so proper grading, erosion control, and drainage planning are essential to preserve longevity.
In-town deliveries are usually priced lower because of shorter haul and easier access; rural jobs often add fuel/drive time and access fees which can increase per-ton cost or add a flat trucking surcharge. Placement and compaction (equipment and operator) are typically quoted separately; expect small-site spreading/compaction to start a few hundred dollars and larger machine work to run higher based on time and acreage—request an itemized estimate before work begins.
Small fill jobs on private property often do not need county permits, but larger grade changes, building pad construction, or work near floodplains may require Blanco County permits or drainage approvals. Homeowners in subdivisions should check HOA rules for finished grade, setbacks, and visible changes. For septic or structural work, consult the county building department and a licensed engineer to confirm permit and inspection requirements.
Use the rule that 1 acre at 1 inch depth equals about 134.6 cubic yards. Multiply by the inches of raise you want, then add a compaction allowance—commonly 10% to 25% depending on material and moisture; a 20% allowance is a safe default for fill dirt in West Texas. To convert to tons, use about 1.2 tons per cubic yard as a local average, but confirm with your supplier since moisture and material type change the weight.
Plain fill dirt is inexpensive but not ideal alone for driveways—crushed limestone or a road-base blend provides better load-bearing and drainage. Reclaimed fill (recycled construction material) can be cost-effective but varies in quality and must be free of organics. Structural (engineered) fill is the best choice for building pads and high-load areas because it is graded and compacted to meet engineering specs.
The best months in Blanco are usually fall through spring when temperatures are milder and rainy-season flash events are less common; avoid hot, dry midsummer when dust and rapid drying complicate compaction. Heavy rains can cause washouts and make sites muddy; although deep frost is less common in Blanco, placing fill during wet or stormy periods increases the risk of poor compaction and settling.
A properly compacted driveway base or pad can go several years with minimal upkeep, but low spots and surface washboarding commonly need attention every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and drainage. Replenishment for a local drive/top-up is usually priced per ton or cubic yard—small top-ups for homeowners are often a few hundred dollars, while larger regrades can run into the low thousands; get a local quote for accurate numbers.
Give clear directions, gate codes, and any access limitations or low-clearance info when you order, and mark preferred dump location with flags or stakes. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want it noted, but remember drivers decide on arrival for safety; for precise placement and compaction hire a local excavator or grader to move and compact material after 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.
