Why Cushing Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Nestled in Cushing, West Texas, Texas (city population 2,180), homeowners are working within a slowly expanding local market—about 0.60% annual growth—inside a broader metro region of 2.5+ million people. The local climate (228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall) and hardiness zone 8b shape landscaping and construction choices: long dry spells punctuated by heavy seasonal rains mean yards, driveways, and foundations must be graded for reliable drainage. Even small projects—leveling a backyard, fixing a driveway edge, or building a utility trench—require dependable material that compacts consistently and helps control erosion. For many Cushing residents, sourcing quality fill material is a practical step toward durable, low-maintenance outdoor spaces that stand up to the local weather and ongoing development tied to regional infrastructure needs. Fill dirt is a subsoil material low in organic content used for raising grades, backfilling, and creating stable pads and trenches. In Cushing's semi-arid environment, properly placed and compacted fill dirt helps direct runoff, reduce erosion after storms, and provide a stable base for landscaping, sheds, or foundations. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers and professional haulers so you get regionally sourced material that reflects local geology, transparent pricing, and scheduled delivery. We make it simple to order the right fill dirt for your project, with delivery options and on-demand guidance from our team so your site is ready for the next phase of work.Popular Projects in Cushing This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cushing Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cushing.
Typical delivered fill dirt prices in the West Texas/Cushing area are a range rather than a fixed rate. Expect roughly $8 to $25 per cubic yard delivered and about $10 to $35 per ton depending on local supplier, material quality, truck access, and haul distance; heavier clay-rich dirt costs more. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and can show exact pricing for your ZIP code during checkout.
Local suppliers and haulers vary around Cushing, and many operate on minimums that reflect truck capacity and routing. Common minimums are a 3-ton order (our platform minimum) up to a tri-axle truck load (10 to 15 cubic yards); for exact local vendors and minimums, check your ZIP code on Hello Gravel or contact our team to get matched with nearby suppliers. We coordinate delivery with contracted truck fleets so you see an accurate minimum and delivery window at checkout.
For structural use under driveways and slabs, choose fill dirt that is well-graded with limited organic matter and low to moderate clay content. High clay (plastic) soils shrink and swell with moisture and are not ideal under slabs; aim for a sandy-silt fill with visible fines but minimal clay, or use engineered fill if clay content is high. If your project is structural, have the material tested (gradation and Atterberg limits) or ask suppliers for basic specs before ordering.
Compact in thin lifts (typically 4 to 8 inches loose) and aim for 90 to 95 percent of the Standard Proctor density for driveway bases and 95 percent or higher for engineered slab subgrades. Use a vibratory plate for small areas and a vibratory roller or rented compaction equipment for larger jobs; moisture conditioning before compaction often improves results in West Texas soils. If you are unsure, hire a local contractor or geotechnical specialist for compaction testing and specs.
Cushing’s heat and dry spells can cause fine fill dirt to shrink and settle, while occasional heavy rains can produce erosion, rutting, and washouts. To reduce problems, promote good drainage (swales, gutters), use a stable gravel or base layer on top of fill where traffic occurs, and avoid leaving loose slopes exposed to direct runoff. Periodic regrading and adding material after storm seasons is common in this region.
Permitting depends on the job size and location; small backyard fills often need no permit, but driveway work, significant grading, or changes to drainage may require a city or county permit. Cushing is a small community—check with the Cushing city office and the county permitting department before major grading, and review any deed restrictions or HOA rules if applicable. When in doubt, contact local authorities; Hello Gravel can help direct you to the right local contacts.
Suppliers commonly offer better per-unit pricing as volume increases. Expect higher per-cubic-yard or per-ton rates for small loads (3 to 10 tons), improved pricing for mid-size loads (10 to 50 tons), and the best rates on full truckloads or 50+ ton jobs; specific tiers depend on the supplier and haul distance. Ask for a volume quote through Hello Gravel to see exact breakpoints and any available delivery discounts for your ZIP code.
Use these quick examples: a 10 ft by 50 ft driveway with 6 inches of fill needs about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 11 to 15 tons depending on moisture and soil type). Raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 1 inch requires about 3.1 cubic yards (around 4 to 5 tons). For backfill behind a 20 ft long, 3 ft deep foundation trench you’d need about 7.4 cubic yards (9 to 12 tons). Convert using 1 cubic yard = 1.2 to 1.6 tons for typical fill dirt in this area, and round up 5–10% for compaction and settlement.
Common alternatives are crushed limestone/base rock, engineered fill (specified gradation and compaction), and structural sand. Crushed base rock and engineered fills cost more per cubic yard but provide better drainage, load-bearing capacity, and long-term stability—expect 20 to 50 percent higher material cost compared with basic fill dirt. For driveways and structural pads in Cushing’s variable soils, a gravel or base-rock cap over compacted fill is often the best value for durability and reduced maintenance.
Small DIY jobs can use rented plate compactors or hand tampers; larger projects usually require a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller and a contractor experienced in lift compaction. Equipment rental in Texas typically runs $100 to $350 per day depending on machine, while local contractor labor for grading and compaction can vary widely—small driveway prep may range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand for longer or more complex jobs. Get written estimates from local contractors and confirm they include lift thickness, target compaction, and any testing if required.
Frequency depends on use, drainage, and material quality, but many homeowners see minor settlement or rutting after heavy rains and add material or regrade every 2 to 5 years. Driveways with proper base rock and drainage may only need occasional touch-ups, while plain fill dirt surfaces exposed to traffic often need more frequent maintenance. To minimize replenishment, install a stable top layer (gravel or base rock) and address runoff paths that cause erosion.
