Why Brookshire Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Brookshire is a growing West Texas community of 19,940 residents, expanding at about 0.70% annually. With 228 sunny days a year, hardiness zone 8b, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, local yards and building sites experience cycles of drying and wetting that affect soil stability and drainage. That climate, paired with steady population growth, drives demand for home projects—from regrading yards and building raised beds to repairing driveways and backfilling around foundations—that rely on dependable aggregates. Homeowners choose quality fill dirt to raise low spots, correct grades for proper runoff, prevent erosion, and provide a stable base for hardscape work; the right fill compacts predictably and reduces future settling. Because regional sourcing affects texture and composition, Brookshire homeowners look for fill dirt matched to local soil conditions so projects hold up through both sunny stretches and wet seasons.Popular Projects in Brookshire This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Brookshire Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Brookshire.
Prices vary by supplier, truck distance, and load size, but in West Texas you can expect fill dirt delivered to Brookshire to commonly range from about $15 to $45 per ton. Hello Gravel lists local supplier prices during checkout and shows delivery fees; minimum orders are usually 3 tons and next-day delivery may add a fee. For an accurate quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team with your project address and estimated quantity.
One cubic yard of loose fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons, depending on moisture and compaction. In Brookshire's clay-prone soils, wetter or denser material can push weight toward the higher end, so plan about 1.3 tons per cubic yard as a practical rule of thumb. Always order a little extra (5-10%) to account for settlement and grading adjustments.
Fill dirt is suitable for raising grade and filling low spots, but it is not the best standalone surfacing material for a driveway in Brookshire because local expansive clay can hold water and rut under traffic. For driveways, a compacted subbase of clean fill dirt topped with crushed stone or stabilized base is a better approach. Consider using fill dirt for subgrade build-up and then finish with crushed stone or paving for long-term performance.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Brookshire and West Texas, and most offer truckload delivery via dump trucks. You can order online, see available suppliers for your zip code, and select delivery dates; minimum orders are typically 3 tons and larger truckloads are accommodated. If you need help, call or text our team with your address and desired delivery location.
For foundation backfill, crushed stone is usually preferred because it drains better and compacts consistently, reducing hydrostatic pressure against foundations in Brookshire's clay soils. Fill dirt can be used for non-structural backfill or to raise grade, but it may retain moisture and settle unevenly. For critical structural backfill, follow your engineer's recommendation, and consider a combination: select fill for bulk lift and clean stone for the layer directly against structures.
As a surfacing material, fill dirt will deteriorate faster than gravel or pavement—expect more rutting, erosion, and dust in Brookshire's seasonal rains and hot summers. Maintenance includes regular grading to smooth ruts, adding material after heavy use or storms, and improving drainage to prevent standing water. For a longer-lasting surface, cap the fill dirt with crushed stone or a stabilizer.
Yes, fill dirt can help regrade yards to direct water away from foundations when placed and compacted properly. Because Brookshire sits in West Texas with clay soils, combining fill dirt with proper slope (typically 2% away from foundations) and drainage features like swales or French drains improves effectiveness. Always account for local runoff patterns and avoid creating drainage problems for neighboring properties.
For raising driveway subgrade, place fill dirt in 6- to 8-inch lifts and compact each lift with mechanical compaction to achieve firm bearing; overall depth depends on how much elevation you need but common build-ups are 4 to 8 inches of compacted fill before adding a stone base. Brookshire's clay soils benefit from thorough compaction to reduce future settling; consider geotextile fabric and a 4- to 6-inch compacted crushed stone base on top for better load distribution. If unsure, consult a local contractor or engineer for required compaction specs.
Local rules vary; small yard grading and minor fill often do not need a permit, but larger grading projects, changes to drainage, or work near easements and floodplains may require Brookshire or Waller County permits. Check with Brookshire city zoning and Waller County permitting before starting larger projects, and call Hello Gravel if you need supplier documentation for inspections. When in doubt, contact the local building department to confirm requirements.
In West Texas around Brookshire, fill dirt prices commonly fall between roughly $15 and $45 per ton, which translates to about $12 to $35 per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. Prices can rise during wet seasons, high demand periods, or when haul distances increase, and next-day delivery or smaller loads may cost more. Hello Gravel displays local supplier prices at checkout so you can compare costs for your delivery date.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
