Why Bonham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bonham is a growing West Texas community of 10,150 residents, expanding at a steady 0.76% annually. With an average of 228 sunny days a year, a hardiness zone of 8a, and annual rainfall of 43.90 inches, homeowners cope with both strong drying from sun exposure and periodic heavy wet spells that affect yards, driveways, and foundations. That climate, combined with steady residential activity, drives consistent demand for basic building materials used in grading, lot preparation, and drainage work. Homeowners often seek quality, locally sourced aggregates like fill dirt to raise low spots, backfill foundations and trenches, stabilize slopes, and create proper drainage swales—projects that require a material that compacts reliably and resists erosion under local weather swings.Popular Projects in Bonham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bonham Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bonham.
In Bonham, delivered fill dirt typically ranges from about $8 to $30 per ton depending on supplier, moisture content, and truck distance. Prices vary with regional availability and delivery logistics, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel to get an exact, up-to-date quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with local sources in the Bonham/Fannin County area such as nearby quarries, excavation contractors, and road-base suppliers. Enter your zip code on our site or contact our team and we will show available local suppliers and delivery options.
For lot grading and as a subgrade in Bonham, use a clean, compactable fill dirt with low organic content and a mix of fines and sand that compacts well. Avoid topsoil or highly organic materials; if you need a driving surface, plan to cap the fill dirt with crushed stone or limestone suited to North Texas.
First calculate cubic yards: area (ft2) x depth (in) / 324 = cubic yards. Then multiply cubic yards by the local weight per cubic yard (fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture). For example, 1,000 ft2 raised 3 inches = 1,000 x 3 / 324 = 9.26 yd3, which is roughly 11 to 14 tons.
Fill dirt performs well as bulk volume in Bonham's hot summers, but it can shrink when very dry and may soften when saturated during heavy rains. Because North Texas sees occasional freeze-thaw cycles, compacted fill dirt used as structural subgrade should be properly compacted and drained, and surfaced with rock if it will see vehicle traffic.
On clay sites common around Bonham, remove organic material, place fill in 4- to 8-inch lifts, and compact each lift with a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller for larger areas. Aim for high compaction (contractor guidance often targets 90% or more of standard Proctor) and consider a geotextile or lime/cement stabilization if moisture-sensitive clay is a major issue.
Many projects that change drainage, add impervious area, or affect right-of-way require permits from the City of Bonham or Fannin County, and HOAs often have rules about driveway surfaces and grading. Check with the City of Bonham planning or public works office and your HOA before ordering large quantities to avoid rework or fines.
Fill dirt used as subgrade can last decades if properly placed, compacted, and covered with an appropriate surface such as crushed limestone or asphalt. If fill dirt is left as the driving surface it will require frequent grading and fresh aggregate; schedule simple maintenance annually or after major storms for best performance.
Choose fill dirt when you need low-cost bulk volume to raise or level land. Use crushed limestone or crushed stone for driveway or pad surfaces because they drain and compact better under traffic. Clean granular fill (no fines) is best where drainage is critical; Hello Gravel can help you choose based on your project and local soil conditions.
Expect delivery by tri-axle dump truck or similar; tri-axles typically carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards depending on material weight. Make sure there is safe truck access, a clear dump location, and note overhead wires or tight turns; order at least Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider spreading (driver discretion applies).
Yes. Because Hello Gravel uses local suppliers, fill dirt in Bonham will reflect nearby geology and can vary in color, texture, and fines. If you have a color or composition preference, add notes at checkout and we will do our best to match available local materials.

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.
