Why Crandall Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Crandall, West Texas, is a growing community with a city population of 10,990 and strong regional momentum—the surrounding metro area supports 2.7+ million residents and a 2.70% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days each year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, local climate and soil conditions drive steady residential construction and yard projects. New homes, driveways, raised beds, and drainage fixes are common as lots are graded and utilities extended. That steady development means homeowners in Crandall often need reliable aggregates to finish grading, prevent erosion, and prepare building pads—tasks that make quality fill dirt a frequent, practical choice for local projects. Fill dirt is subsoil material used to raise grades, backfill foundations, and fill low spots; it typically contains minimal organic content so it compacts predictably and resists long-term settling. In Crandall’s climate—moderate rainfall and plenty of sun—well-compacted fill dirt helps create stable bases for lawns, patios, and structures while supporting proper drainage during storm events. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers and pro dump-truck haulers, offers transparent pricing, allows you to schedule delivery (standard 2+ business days or next-day when available before noon CST), and helps you choose the right amount and type of fill dirt for a durable, weather-ready result.Popular Projects in Crandall This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Crandall Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Crandall.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Crandall/West Texas area typically range from about $12 to $25 per ton, or roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard loose. Prices vary with moisture content, haul distance, pit availability, and seasonal demand, so get a zip-code specific quote for an exact number.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are commonly made with tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards loose. Many suppliers offer free delivery in nearby areas, but some locations or next-day requests may carry fees (commonly $25 to $150); confirm delivery cost and tailgate spreading options at checkout.
Crandall and much of West Texas often have clay-rich soils and pockets of caliche, which can cause shrink-swell, poor drainage, and hardpan layers. These local subsurface conditions make it important to test for clay content and pay attention to drainage before placing large volumes of fill dirt.
For structural work (under slab or engineered fill) aim for 90-95% of Standard Proctor density with 4 to 8-inch lifts compacted per pass using mechanical equipment; an engineer’s spec may be required. For non-structural yard build-up 85-90% may be acceptable in small projects, but fill dirt alone is not a recommended wearing surface under driveways — use proper base material above compacted fill.
Volume calculations: 1,000 sq ft x 3 in = 9.26 cubic yards; 6 in = 18.52 cubic yards; 12 in = 37.04 cubic yards. Using a typical conversion of about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, expect roughly 11 to 14 tons for 3 in, 22 to 28 tons for 6 in, and 44 to 56 tons for 12 in; always request a supplier conversion because weight varies with moisture and material type.
Fill dirt is intended to raise grade and fill low spots, not to serve as the structural surface for driveways. For driveways and rural access roads in Crandall, use crusher run, road base, or class 2 base compacted to spec on top of properly compacted fill; these materials provide drainage and load-bearing strength that plain fill dirt does not.
Compacted, engineered fill can support heavy loads if placed in proper lifts to specified density, but plain fill dirt alone is usually not enough for repeated heavy traffic. For drive or equipment areas, place a structural base material (road base or class 2) over the compacted fill and consider geotextile or deeper excavation for very heavy loads.
Common issues include settling, erosion from storm runoff, and shrink-swell cracking during dry-hot periods; materials with high clay content are particularly prone to movement. Expect some settlement during the first 1 to 3 years and plan for regrading, added material, or improved drainage to minimize repeat maintenance.
Small residential top-ups often do not require permits, but larger fills, changes to drainage, or fill that affects neighboring properties typically require permits and sometimes engineered plans. Contact the City of Crandall Building Department or Kaufman County permitting office before major grading or lot fill to confirm local rules and avoid issues.
Local contractors usually source fill dirt from nearby pits or suppliers in the West Texas region and often provide delivery, placement, and compaction as bundled services. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and haulers; ask when you request a quote whether they include placement, spreading, or compaction and what fees apply.
The best windows are during drier months (spring and fall) when the ground can be worked and moisture is easier to control; avoid heavy rainy periods or extremes of drought. Fill compacts best when slightly moist — too wet causes pumping and instability, while too dry reduces compaction efficiency — so coordinate deliveries around local weather forecasts.
Compaction typically reduces loose volume by roughly 10% to 25% depending on soil type and how tight you need it compacted. As a rule of thumb, order 10% to 20% extra material for typical projects and up to 25% for very loose or organic soils; your supplier can give a project-specific compaction factor for more accurate ordering.
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.
