Why Falfurrias Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Falfurrias, a tight-knit West Texas city with a city population of 5,410, is seeing steady demand for residential and small commercial earthwork as it grows at a rate of 0.40% annually. With roughly 228 sunny days per year, average annual rainfall of 34.06 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners face a semi-arid climate that alternates intense sun with occasional heavy rains. That seasonal mix increases the need for stable, well-compacted materials for grading, foundation backfill, and erosion control. Homeowners turn to quality aggregates like fill dirt to build level yards, raise low spots, create firm bases for patios and driveways, and protect sloped landscaping from washouts during storm events.Popular Projects in Falfurrias This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Falfurrias Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Falfurrias.
In the West Texas/Falfurrias area, fill dirt typically runs in the range of about $8 to $25 per ton depending on local supply and quality. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing for your zip code at checkout; many orders may include free delivery, but fees can apply for next-day service or long-distance hauls. Minimum order is 3 tons and final cost depends on truck availability, delivery distance, and requested services like tailgate spreading.
Hello Gravel connects you with local South Texas suppliers and haulers serving Brooks County so you can order regionally sourced fill dirt without calling multiple vendors. Our platform minimum is 3 tons, but most residential deliveries are full truckloads; a typical tri-axle dump holds roughly 10–14 cubic yards (about 13–18 tons for fill dirt), so many contractors order in those quantities for efficiency.
For Falfurrias’ sandy-clay conditions, choose a compactable fill with low organic content and a mix of sand and clay (often labeled 'clean fill' or 'select fill'). Avoid topsoil or high-organic material for structural fills; for areas needing good drainage, place a granular layer (gravel or crushed stone) under or above the fill as appropriate.
Approximate coverage per 100 square feet: 1 inch depth ≈ 0.4 tons, 3 inches ≈ 1.2 tons, 6 inches ≈ 2.4 tons, and 12 inches ≈ 4.8 tons. These are estimates using a typical fill dirt weight (about 1.3 tons per cubic yard); final quantities vary with compaction, moisture, and material density, so order a little extra or use Hello Gravel’s calculator to confirm.
Local contractors compact fill in shallow lifts (usually 4–8 inches) using plate compactors for small areas and vibratory rollers or sheepsfoot rollers for larger jobs. They often add moisture to reach optimal compaction and perform density testing for structural projects; homeowners should hire experienced contractors for driveways, pads, or heavy-load areas.
Yes. Falfurrias’ hot, dry summers usually make deliveries easy, but late-summer storms or hurricane remnants can cause heavy rain and flash flooding that delay deliveries and prevent proper compaction. Plan deliveries for dry windows, and avoid scheduling major fills right before or during expected heavy rain for best results.
Small landscaping fills rarely require a permit, but larger grading, changes to drainage, or fills in regulated areas may trigger local or county permits. Check with the City of Falfurrias and Brooks County building or planning office for rules on grading, drainage, septic setbacks, and right-of-way deposits before ordering large amounts.
Fill dirt is suitable for raising grade or backfilling but is not a durable wearing surface for driveways. For a driveway or base layer in West Texas, use crushed limestone or class-5 base material compacted in lifts; if you must use fill dirt to adjust grade, cap it with a proper base and compact it thoroughly before surfacing.
Clear a level drop zone free of overhead wires, fences, and parked vehicles and mark the preferred dump location with visible stakes. Request tailgate spreading in the order notes if needed (driver discretion), confirm access for a tri-axle truck, and call Hello Gravel if you need help with placement options or have questions about permits or site access.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

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.
