Why Fort Stockton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fort Stockton is a tight-knit West Texas city of 10,090 residents experiencing steady growth, and that growth is driving more projects that need reliable site preparation materials. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain each year, homeowners here need fill solutions that handle both long dry spells and episodic runoff. The area's hardiness zone of 8b and varied terrain mean yards and driveways often require regrading, foundation backfill, and berm building to control water flow and prevent erosion. For many local projects—raising low spots, prepping pads for sheds, or backfilling trenches—homeowners seek low-organic, well-graded Fill Dirt that compacts well, minimizes settling, and supports landscaping or light structures without promoting vegetation growth. In Fort Stockton's environment, Fill Dirt is a practical choice for creating stable subgrades and improving drainage under sunny, sometimes intense weather patterns. Regionally sourced fill reflects local geology, so texture and color will vary, but properly screened fill reduces organic material and creates a reliable base. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with vetted local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery (standard 2+ business days or next-day when available before noon CST), a 3-ton minimum, and the option to request tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion. We help you pick the right fill, calculate quantities, and coordinate delivery so your project keeps moving on schedule.Popular Projects in Fort Stockton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fort Stockton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Fort Stockton.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and moisture content, but locally expect roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard, or about $150 to $450 for a typical tri-axle dump truck load. Exact pricing depends on availability and truck access; get a quote through Hello Gravel for a firm price and include your delivery zip code.
Fill dirt in the Fort Stockton area often contains caliche, clay, and sandy loam, so it tends to be light brown to tan and can be fairly dense. Because Hello Gravel sources locally, color and texture may vary by supplier and excavation source.
Compute area (square feet) times depth (feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches (0.5 ft) is 500 cu ft or about 18.5 cubic yards; multiply by roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard to estimate tons and request a quote.
No. Two inches of loose fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway or patio. Driveways need a compacted base of suitable material (usually 4 to 8 inches of compactable base or crushed stone) and fill dirt is generally used to raise grade or fill voids, not as a wearable surface.
Yes, but it must be placed in controlled lifts (commonly 6 to 8 inches) and mechanically compacted to meet project requirements. For structural work or load-bearing applications in Fort Stockton's caliche-influenced soils, consult a local engineer or specify compaction requirements before ordering.
Adding clean fill dirt can reduce weed growth if you remove topsoil and compact the new fill, but it will not guarantee insect-free conditions. In Fort Stockton's arid climate, weeds may be less aggressive, but good grading, drainage, and topcover (gravel or landscape fabric) are better long-term pest and weed controls.
Buying bulk by the cubic yard or ton through Hello Gravel is generally the most cost-effective option compared with bagged material. Also compare local suppliers, schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) to avoid rush fees, and consolidate orders to meet our 3-ton minimum for better unit pricing.
A 50 lb bag of fill dirt is roughly 0.9 to 1.0 cubic foot. To cover 100 sq ft at 2 inches deep you need about 16.7 cubic feet, or roughly 17 to 19 50-lb bags; for larger jobs bulk delivery is far more practical.
Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST, subject to local supplier and truck availability and an additional fee. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; check your zip code and book early to secure tight timelines.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and note that the driver will decide upon arrival if it can be done safely; consider renting a skid steer for precise spreading and compaction.
Permitting requirements vary by project scope and location; small yard fills are often fine, but larger grade changes, lot fills, or anything affecting drainage may require city or county permits. Check with the City of Fort Stockton and Pecos County planning or building departments before ordering large amounts.
Compact the fill in lifts, create positive drainage away from structures, and use stabilization measures like erosion control fabric, mulch, or rock cover. In Fort Stockton's dry, windy conditions, cover exposed fill quickly to limit wind erosion and use seed mixes or hydroseeding if vegetation is part of the plan.
Yes. Caliche layers are common in West Texas and can make fill denser, harder to grade, and slower to drain; this affects compaction and suitability for certain uses. Tell your Hello Gravel rep if you suspect caliche so suppliers can match appropriate clean fill or offer alternative base material.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; changes are easiest before the order is processed and the truck dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications depend on supplier schedules and staging, so timely contact increases the chance of success.
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.
