Why Del Rio Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Del Rio is home to 48,508 people and sits in a growing West Texas region that’s expanding at about 1.27% annually. The city’s climate — 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b — shapes how yards and foundations perform over time. That steady growth and favorable building conditions are driving demand for basic, dependable aggregates for new construction, lot grading, and yard renovation. Homeowners in Del Rio are increasingly seeking quality materials that deliver stable compaction, predictable drainage, and long-term performance so projects from driveways to raised beds start on a solid base. Fill dirt is a workhorse material suited to Del Rio’s environment because it’s typically made from subsoil with low organic content, which helps limit future settling and erosion when compacted and graded properly. In an area with hot, sunny conditions and moderate rainfall, properly placed fill dirt can improve drainage, reduce water pooling, and provide a stable base for patios, foundations, and landscape terraces. Hello Gravel connects Del Rio homeowners to local suppliers and trusted haulers, offering clear pricing, scheduled dump-truck delivery (including a next-day option for orders placed early) and guidance so you get the right fill dirt for your project without the logistics headache.Popular Projects in Del Rio This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Del Rio Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Del Rio.
Calculate volume first: 1,000 sq ft x 4 in (0.333 ft) = about 333 cu ft, or 12.35 cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so you will need roughly 14 to 17 tons; order an extra 10% for compaction and settling, so plan on about 16 to 19 tons.
Hello Gravel shows local pricing at checkout for Del Rio and many local suppliers include delivery in the listed price, especially for typical residential orders. Expect variation by supplier and distance; if delivery is not included the fee is shown before you pay, and our minimum order is 3 tons.
Fill dirt can work as subgrade under properly prepared layers, but it is not an ideal finished driveway surface in Del Rio’s hot, dry climate because it can compact unevenly and develop ruts. For a durable driveway we recommend a compacted granular base such as crusher run or crushed stone over well-compacted fill dirt or engineered fill.
Yes, low-organic, well-graded fill dirt can be used for structural backfill if placed and compacted in lifts and if local codes allow it. Because West Texas often has expansive clays, many builders prefer granular engineered fill or import select fill and consult a structural engineer or local building department for specific compaction and testing requirements.
As a driving surface, loose fill dirt will typically show wear within months to a couple of years depending on traffic and drainage, needing frequent top-ups and grading. If used properly as a compacted subgrade under a gravel or paved surface, its service life depends on drainage, compaction quality, and the overlay material rather than the fill dirt itself.
Crusher run is the better choice for a driveway base and finished surface because it contains crushed stone and fines that compact tightly and shed water more predictably. Fill dirt is useful for raising grade and backfill but lacks the interlocking strength and drainage characteristics that crusher run provides for a long-lasting driveway in Del Rio.
Fill dirt is usually not suitable for septic drain fields because its fine particles can reduce permeability; counties require native soil percolation tests and specific materials for leach lines. Always check with Val Verde County environmental health and your septic designer before bringing in any imported fill dirt for septic work.
If you do it yourself, renting a plate compactor or small roller typically costs $80 to $200 per day; hiring a contractor for grading and compaction commonly runs $300 to $800 depending on access and scope. Add budget for additional base material (crusher run) and brush-off or hauling if the site needs extra prep.
You can order bulk fill dirt in Del Rio through Hello Gravel, which connects you to local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers; many local aggregate yards and landscape suppliers also sell bulk fill dirt. Delivery is handled by local trucking partners (typically tri-axle dump trucks), and some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout but note there are no guarantees.
Account for West Texas conditions: hot, dry climate, regional clay soils, and potential for shrink-swell behavior in expansive clays around Del Rio. Ask suppliers about organic content, gradation, and whether the material is compactable; when in doubt, request a soil spec or consult a local contractor or engineer for projects affecting foundations, retaining walls, or septic systems.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
