Why Freer Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Freer, with a city population of 2,740, sits in West Texas and belongs to a broader metro area of 2.5+ million that is experiencing steady development. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, demand for small-scale construction, yard regrading, shed pads, and drainage fixes has increased among homeowners and local contractors. Freer’s climate includes about 228 sunny days per year and roughly 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and it falls in hardiness zone 8b — conditions that favor materials that balance compaction with drainage. Because native soils in this region can be variable, homeowners often seek reliable, uniform fill to avoid settling, improve grade transitions, and prepare stable bases for landscaping and outbuildings. Fill Dirt is a clean, compactable soil used for building up low spots, backfilling, and establishing structural pads. In Freer, the combination of strong sun and intermittent heavy rains makes properly placed and compacted fill dirt important for erosion resistance and long-term stability; it helps direct water away from foundations and reduces post-installation settling in an area that receives 34.25 inches of rain annually. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and professional haulers so you get regionally sourced fill dirt, transparent pricing, and scheduled dump-truck delivery — plus guidance on quantities and delivery timing to keep your project on track.Popular Projects in Freer This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Freer Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Freer.
Prices vary, but expect to pay roughly $10 to $30 per cubic yard for bulk fill dirt in the Freer area, not including spreading or compaction. Delivery costs depend on distance and truck size; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers standard 2+ business day delivery with optional fees for next-day. Spreading and compaction are often extra and commonly charged either as a flat trip fee or $5 to $20 per cubic yard depending on job complexity.
For Freer, a sandy or slightly silty fill dirt that drains better than pure clay is usually preferred because local clay can shrink and swell in heat. A mixed fill (sand plus fines) that compacts well is a good choice for grading and as a subfill, while pure clay is better avoided near drive surfaces unless properly engineered and capped with a stable base material. Always tell your supplier you are in West Texas so they can suggest a regionally appropriate blend.
Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in feet) / 27. Example estimates: raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 3 inches needs about 9 cubic yards, a 12x30 (360 sq ft) driveway with 4 inches of base needs about 4.4 cubic yards. Convert to tons roughly by multiplying cubic yards by about 1 to 1.2 (varies by moisture and soil type); order extra (10% to 15%) to allow for compaction and waste.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt can provide a stable subgrade, but it is not usually a wear surface for repeated vehicle traffic. In Freer’s hot, often dry climate, clay-heavy fills can harden and crack or swell when wet; mixing with sand or using a crushed-rock base on top improves durability. For driveways, contractors typically recommend a compacted gravel or crusher-run cap over fill dirt to handle traffic and reduce maintenance.
Fill dirt is screened soil used to raise grade and fill voids; it is not engineered to be a surface material. Crusher run and road base contain angular rock and fines that lock together and make a better structural base for driveways. Topsoil is for planting and should not be used for structural fill; in Freer, use fill dirt for bulk raising, then finish with road base or crusher run for driveways and topsoil only where you plan to plant.
Some Freer contractors include hauling and compaction, but many quote material separately and add labor for spreading and compacting. Labor and equipment costs vary; small jobs might see labor fees of $200 to $800, while larger jobs are often priced per cubic yard for placement ($5 to $20/yd3) or per hour for equipment ($60 to $150/hour for a small loader/compactor). Ask contractors for an itemized quote showing material, delivery, spreading, and compaction fees so you can compare.
Yes—adding fill can change drainage patterns, so you should avoid directing runoff onto neighbors’ property and check local rules. Freer is in Duval County, and significant fills, grading near creeks, or work that impacts drainage or septic systems may require permits or county approval; contact Duval County or the City of Freer before large projects. If in doubt, get a simple site plan from your contractor and confirm any required approvals.
A compacted fill dirt subgrade itself can last many years if it is well compacted, has good drainage, and is covered with a proper wearing surface like crusher run or asphalt. Without a good surface, fill dirt will rut and erode under vehicle traffic and require periodic regrading, especially after heavy rain. Regular inspection, topping with additional base material, and keeping drainage functioning will extend life and reduce repairs.
Yes—fill dirt can be used as bulk fill under patios and pavers, but contractors recommend limiting use as the structural base. Typical prep in Freer is to place and compact fill dirt to the desired grade, then install 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone or gravel and a 1-inch bedding sand layer before laying pavers. Proper compaction, edge restraints, and good drainage are essential to prevent settling and shifting.
Homeowners in Freer can source fill dirt through local landscape suppliers or online marketplaces like Hello Gravel, which connects you with nearby suppliers and local haulers. Many suppliers offer bulk pricing and discounts for larger orders, but Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; delivery fees and minimums depend on supplier distance and truck size. Always request a written quote that lists material type, cubic yards or tons, delivery terms, and any optional spreading service.
Measure the area and desired depth and use cubic yards = (sq ft x depth in feet) / 27, then add 10% to 15% for compaction and waste. Convert to tons if needed using the supplier’s estimated weight per cubic yard (fill dirt varies by moisture and composition); when in doubt order slightly more or talk to Hello Gravel’s sales team for a quick check. Use Hello Gravel’s checkout calculator, pick a delivery date, and add order notes about access, preferred drop location, and whether you want the driver to consider tailgate spreading.
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.
