Why Cumby Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cumby is a small but growing West Texas community of 2,630 people, experiencing steady expansion at about 0.80% annually. With 228/year sunny days, 38.15 inches of annual rainfall, and placement in USDA hardiness zone 8b, local yards and building sites face a mix of strong sun exposure and periodic heavy rains that shape landscaping and construction needs. As homes, driveways, and accessory structures are built or repaired, homeowners need reliable aggregates to grade sites, control surface water, and create stable bases. Quality fill materials reduce settling, limit erosion, and make landscaping and hardscape work last longer in Cumby. Regional demand across the larger West Texas metro area (2.5+ million people) supports a network of local suppliers, which helps homeowners access the right materials for their soil and climate conditions.Popular Projects in Cumby This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cumby Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cumby.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Cumby/West Texas area typically range from about $12 to $30 per ton, which works out to roughly $15 to $36 per cubic yard (1 cubic yard is about 1.2 tons for typical compacted fill dirt). Prices vary by supplier, driving distance, screening, and whether you need spreading or compaction services. Use our zip-code lookup to get an exact delivered price for your address.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers that serve Cumby; minimums commonly start at 3 tons (our platform minimum) while some local graders or landscapers require 5 to 10 tons for truck access or cheaper per-ton pricing. Contractor deliveries or specialized screened fill may have higher minimums or delivery fees. Check availability and minimums for your zip code on our site or call our team for local supplier options.
Fill dirt with a moderate fines content compacts well and is good for raising grades, but in West Texas heat and seasonal storms it can shrink or develop cracks if the fines are mostly clay. Compaction is essential to reduce future settlement, and unprotected slopes or exposed fills can suffer washout during heavy rain or flash events. For sites with runoff risk, add erosion control (silt fence, hydroseed, or a cover layer) and consider a drainage plan before placing large fills.
For rough bulk fill and raising grade, a general-purpose screened fill dirt with minimal organic material and small rock is appropriate; fines that allow compaction are desirable for structural fills. For foundation backfill, use compactible, low-organic engineered fill or borrow soil specified by your engineer rather than untested fill dirt. For driveway surfaces, use road base or graded aggregate on top of compacted fill dirt instead of relying on fill dirt as the wearing surface.
Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries usually arrive by tri-axle dump truck; ensure the driver has a clear route, adequate turning space, and at least 12-14 feet of overhead clearance. If access is tight or you need small-lot placement, request this at checkout so we can match a proper truck or contractor to your job.
Typical loose fill dirt weighs about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so a good rule is 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 tons. A standard 2-car driveway (about 20' x 20') needs roughly 5 to 8 cubic yards depending on desired depth (4" to 6" of base), or about 6 to 10 tons. A small raised yard (100 sq ft raised 6") requires about 1.8 to 2.5 cubic yards (2.2 to 3.0 tons), while foundation backfill varies by perimeter depth and height—use our material calculator or contact our team for a precise quantity estimate.
Screened fill dirt is economical for raising grades and backfill but is not as durable or well-draining as graded road base for a driveway surface. Road base compacts better, sheds water, and prevents wheel rutting, so it is recommended as the wearing layer in West Texas where storms and runoff can concentrate. If you choose fill dirt for a driveway subgrade, plan to cap it with a compactable base rock or recycled road base for long-term performance.
Large grading, fill, or changes to drainage can trigger permits or stormwater/erosion-control requirements at the city or county level, especially near creeks or in mapped floodplains. Cumby homeowners should check with the Cumby city office or Hopkins County building/planning department and confirm any HOA rules before placing large amounts of fill. If your project alters runoff, you may need erosion-control measures or a permit—our team can help point you to local contacts.
If fill dirt is used as a surface, expect periodic regrading and adding material every 1 to 3 years after heavy rains or vehicle use; costs include material and hauling and commonly run from a few hundred dollars for spot fixes to higher amounts for larger areas. Using a compacted base rock as a cap reduces maintenance frequency and overall life-cycle cost. For budgeting, request a delivered material quote plus a local contractor estimate for periodic regrading or topping.
Many local contractors in the Cumby/West Texas area offer compaction, grading, and small-excavator services bundled with material delivery; Hello Gravel can coordinate delivery timing so contractors can finish the job the same day. Bundle prices vary by job size and equipment needed—small grading/compaction jobs often start around $200 to $800, while larger or engineered fills can run $1,000 or more. We recommend getting at least two local quotes and asking suppliers to quote delivered material plus site work together for an apples-to-apples comparison.
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.
