Why Channelview Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Channelview is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 29,620 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, local homeowners are tackling more yard upgrades, driveway repairs, and small construction projects that need dependable base material. The climate and geography—hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days/year, and about 34.32 inches of annual rainfall—produce cycles of dry heat and periodic wet spells that affect soil stability and drainage. Those conditions increase demand for quality aggregates that compact well and resist erosion. Homeowners look for materials that match native soils, hold grades under sun and rain, and reduce the need for rework when installing landscaping, patios, retaining walls, or building pads.Popular Projects in Channelview This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Channelview Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Channelview.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Channelview usually vary by supplier, volume, and season. Expect a broad ballpark of about $10 to $30 per ton (roughly $8 to $25 per cubic yard) for typical screened fill dirt, but exact pricing requires a zip-code based quote from Hello Gravel because local haul distance and availability affect cost.
Hello Gravel connects you with local West Texas suppliers and haulers that service Channelview addresses. Minimums vary by supplier, but our platform-wide minimum order is 3 tons; many landscape suppliers have minimums of 1 to 3 cubic yards for nearby deliveries while some quarries or long-haul deliveries require 10+ cubic yards — your checkout quote will show the specific supplier and any minimums.
To raise 1,000 square feet by 6 inches you need 500 cubic feet, which is about 18.5 cubic yards. That translates to roughly 20 to 25 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and density, or about two tri-axle truckloads (truck capacity varies by hauler). Always order 5 to 10 percent extra to account for compaction and settlement.
Local contractors commonly place fill in lifts of 4 to 8 inches and compact each lift before adding the next to achieve a firm base. For structural work or building pads they often target a high relative compaction (engineer-specified, commonly 90 to 95 percent); for non-structural grading a well-compacted, firm surface is usually sufficient. Ask your contractor or engineer for project-specific compaction tests and specs.
Fill dirt alone is not a drainage solution on clay subsoils common in the region; it will raise grade but can still retain water if not paired with proper drainage. For flood mitigation you should combine clean fill or engineered fill with subdrains, swales, or gravel drainage layers and correct grading to direct water away from structures. Consult a civil engineer or local contractor for a plan if you are addressing flooding or lot drainage.
Permit requirements depend on the size of the fill, whether you are in a regulated floodplain, and if the fill is for a building pad or major regrading. Channelview is in Harris County, so check Harris County permitting and any local municipal rules, and verify FEMA floodplain requirements before large deliveries. For building pads you may need engineered fill, inspections, or permits; contact the local permitting office or your contractor to confirm.
The regional mix of heat and occasional heavy rains can cause fill dirt to dry and shrink in hot spells and to erode or settle after heavy storms. Proper compaction, surface grading, vegetation, erosion control, and drainage features reduce maintenance needs and prolong performance. Plan for occasional regrading or topping up after major storms, particularly on slopes and low spots.
Screened fill dirt is good for bulk grading and raising low areas because it compacts relatively well, but it drains poorly compared with clean fill or crushed rock. For driveways and areas where drainage and durability matter, contractors usually prefer crushed rock or compacted base material; for structural fills and building pads, engineers often specify clean, tested fill. Choose screened fill dirt for earth-moving and crushed rock for finished drive surfaces.
Hello Gravel shows any delivery fees in your quote; many Channelview-area deliveries have free standard delivery, but expect possible charges for next-day service, long-haul distances, restricted site access, permit-based drop zones, or if special equipment is needed. Tailgate spreading is sometimes available at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed; the quote will list any extra site fees before checkout.
Initial settlement occurs immediately after placement and compaction, but additional settlement can happen over weeks to months as moisture cycles and loads settle the material. Contractors commonly allow at least a few weeks before final grading and expect to bring in a 5 to 15 percent overage to make up for settlement; for building pads or structures follow an engineer's schedule for observation and testing.
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.
