Why Chester Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Chester has a population of 750 and sits within a growing West Texas region that supports a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually and 228/year sunny days, local homeowners are tackling more outdoor projects—from yard regrading to small additions and drainage fixes. These projects create steady demand for reliable aggregates: people need materials that compact well, resist settling, and manage stormwater. That’s why many Chester homeowners look for quality fill dirt to create level building pads, backfill around foundations, repair low spots, and establish grade for patios and driveways. Clear guidance on quantities and material characteristics helps avoid costly rework and saves time on site preparation. Fill dirt performs well in Chester’s local conditions where annual rainfall averages 34.25 inches and summers are sunny and dry. Properly sourced fill dirt with low organic content helps reduce future settling and improves drainage when compacted in layers. Hello Gravel connects Chester homeowners to local suppliers and professional haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery, and the option to request tailgate spreading. Our regional sourcing means the material reflects local soil characteristics while giving you a dependable, on‑site base for landscaping and light construction projects.Popular Projects in Chester This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Chester Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Chester.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Final delivery cost and timing depend on local supplier availability and your zip code, so check your quote during checkout.
Both screened (cleaned of large clods and rocks) and unscreened fill dirt (more native material, often cheaper) are offered by regional suppliers, but availability varies near Chester. If you need screened material for landscaping or under pavers, request it in Order Notes and confirm the supplier type on your quote to avoid surprises.
Contractors in West Texas typically place fill in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or vibratory roller to reach required density. Moisture conditioning (wetting or drying) before compaction is common with local clay soils, and compacting in lifts reduces future settlement compared with placing a large single lift.
Hot, dry West Texas weather and clay-rich soils can cause shrink-swell, cracking, and uneven settling if moisture and drainage are not managed. Use well-compacted, properly graded fill, keep surface drainage away from filled areas, and consider non-expansive fill or a transition layer for structures to improve long-term performance.
Delivered prices vary by supplier, screening, and haul distance, but basic unscreened fill dirt in West Texas often runs roughly $10 to $25 per ton (about $14 to $34 per cubic yard). Clean or screened fill usually costs more, and final pricing appears in your Hello Gravel quote based on your exact location and delivery conditions.
Many small residential deliveries do not require a permit, but larger grading, drainage changes, or earthmoving projects may need city or county permits and inspections. Contact Chester city hall or your local permitting office before large imports, and check for any erosion control, septic setback, or road crossing requirements.
As a quick rule, 1 inch of fill over 1,000 square feet equals about 3.09 cubic yards. With typical fill dirt density (~1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard), that equals roughly 3.7 to 4.3 tons per inch; round to about 4 tons per inch as an estimate and use our calculator for a precise quote.
Some local contractors near Chester offer bundled services that include delivery, spreading, and compaction, but offerings vary by supplier and contractor. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout (driver discretion applies) or hire a local contractor for full-site services; ask for bundled quotes to compare total cost.
Clear the intended dump area of cars, debris, and low-hanging branches, and mark the preferred drop spot with flags or stakes. Make sure the access route can handle a tri-axle dump truck, point out any soft spots to the driver, and add delivery notes about tight access or desired placement when you place your order.
A contracted dump truck (often tri-axle) will arrive, call ahead when possible, and place the load where you indicated or where the driver can safely access. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading and compaction are not guaranteed; inspect the load and contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly if there are issues.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
