Why Forest Hill Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Forest Hill, with a city population of 993,588 and located within a metro area of 2.5+ million, shows steady, measured growth at 0.40% annually. The local semi-arid climate—about 228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—shapes how foundations, yards, and grading projects are planned. Homeowners and contractors here often need reliable, locally sourced aggregates to manage drainage, raise grades, and prepare building pads that resist erosion and settling. Because development is steady, demand for dependable Fill Dirt rises when yards are regraded, driveways are improved, or utility trenches are backfilled. Buyers in Forest Hill value materials that are consistent, compact well, and match local soil behavior to avoid future settling or drainage problems.Popular Projects in Forest Hill This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Forest Hill Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Forest Hill.
Delivered fill dirt in Forest Hill and the broader West Texas region typically ranges by quality and distance; expect roughly $15 to $40 per ton delivered for most residential orders. Prices depend on haul distance, supplier, and whether material is screened or contains caliche; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may offer free delivery in some areas, with next-day delivery available for an extra fee.
Local suppliers include regional quarries, landscaping yards, and excavation contractors that Hello Gravel partners with; availability varies by zip code. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading and compaction are not guaranteed and larger spreading/compaction jobs usually require a separate excavation or landscaping contractor.
Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324 to calculate volume, then convert to tons using the supplier's density (ask Hello Gravel for a conversion estimate). For common guidance, use 4 to 6 inches of compacted fill under patios and pavers, 6 to 12 inches of compacted fill under a driveway subgrade, and 2 to 12 inches to bring low spots up to grade depending on the project.
Fill dirt can work in West Texas but often contains clay and caliche that drains slowly and can shrink or expand in dry/wet cycles, so compaction and drainage planning are essential. For driveways and high-traffic areas, pair fill dirt with a granular road base or crushed rock cap to improve drainage and stability in Forest Hill's hot, semi-arid climate.
Permit and HOA requirements vary: small grading or infill for garden beds often does not need a permit, but larger regrading, changing drainage patterns, or moving large volumes may require a permit from Forest Hill or Tarrant County. Always check with your HOA guidelines and contact the Forest Hill city building or public works department before major fills; Hello Gravel can help by providing delivery details for permit applications.
Fill dirt is generally the least expensive option for raising grade but is not ideal as a finished surface because it compacts and drains poorly. Road base and crushed rock provide structural strength and drainage for driveways, while topsoil is for planting; many Forest Hill projects use fill dirt for bulk elevation and then cap it with road base or crushed stone for durability.
A surface of bare fill dirt will erode, rut, and require frequent regrading after heavy rains; lifespan for an uncompacted fill surface is short. If properly compacted and capped with crushed rock or road base, a driveway can last many years with occasional grading and replenishment after severe weather.
Hello Gravel's nationwide minimum order is typically 3 tons; common truck types for delivery are tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10 to 14 tons, with larger end-dump trucks used for bigger orders. Additional charges may apply for next-day delivery, difficult access, special placement, spreading, or offloads that require extra labor or equipment.
Drivers may be able to tailgate spread small amounts at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading or compaction services. For professional spreading and compaction, hire a local landscaper or excavator who can bring compactors and ensure proper density for West Texas soils.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, debris, and vegetation, and mark the preferred placement zone to help the driver make a safe drop. Also check truck access (width, overhead wires, and soft ground), locate underground utilities, and note any HOA or city restrictions; include delivery notes at checkout so the hauler knows site specifics.
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.
