Why Galena Park Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Galena Park is a compact West Texas city with a city population of 8,500 and sits inside a larger metro area of 2.7+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.80% annually, homeowners and small developers are steadily investing in repairs, additions, and landscaping. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates both opportunities and constraints: long stretches of sun favor outdoor work while seasonal rains make grading and drainage essential. That combination increases demand for dependable aggregates to build level pads, raise low spots, and protect foundations. Homeowners in Galena Park seek consistent, compactable materials that perform in local soil and weather, reducing the risk of settling and erosion on projects from driveways to yard regrades.Popular Projects in Galena Park This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Galena Park Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Galena Park.
Delivered fill dirt prices vary by supplier, distance from the source, truck access, and order size. Expect a broad range (example: roughly $12 to $40 per ton delivered) depending on those factors; larger orders usually lower the per-ton rate. For an exact price check your zip code on our site or request a quote for a guaranteed delivered price.
Hello Gravel works with multiple local suppliers and haulers that serve the Galena Park area; supplier availability can change by zip code. Our platform minimum order is 3 tons, but some suppliers or contractor-price loads may require higher minimums (often 10 to 20 tons for contractor or site-delivery pricing). Enter your zip code or contact our team to see which local suppliers are available and what minimums apply.
For hot, wet summers and clay-prone subsoils common around Galena Park, choose a clean, low-organic fill dirt for structural fills and a sand or sand-gravel blend where drainage is important. For foundations and load-bearing areas use engineered or structural fill compacted in lifts; for landscape grade adjustments, a sandy fill or mixing in coarse material will help reduce water retention. For any structural or drainage-sensitive work, get a geotechnical recommendation before placing large volumes.
Volume: 1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cubic feet, which is about 18.5 cubic yards. Fill dirt weight varies with moisture and composition, but a common rule is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so you would need roughly 22 to 26 tons. We recommend adding 5 to 10 percent extra for compaction and settlement, so plan on ordering about 24 to 29 tons for this job and confirm with a supplier quote.
Permits and code requirements can apply to grading, changes in drainage, and foundation fills in Galena Park. Critical fills for buildings or retaining structures often require engineered fill, compaction testing, and a permit; grading that affects stormwater or neighboring properties may also need approval. Contact the Galena Park Building Department or a local civil/geotechnical engineer to confirm permit requirements for your specific project.
Fill dirt is typically delivered by tri-axle or similar dump trucks; standard delivery takes 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (fees may apply). Drivers can sometimes tailgate-spread at their discretion if requested at checkout, but this is not guaranteed; ensure driveway access, clear drop zone, and mark any underground utilities before delivery. If you need placement or compaction services, plan to hire local contractors since spreading is at the driver's discretion.
Loose fill will settle; expect typical settlement of roughly 5 to 10 percent for general fills if not compacted in lifts, and more if organic material or wet clay is present. Proper placement in thin lifts with mechanical compaction greatly reduces settlement for structural areas; for critical elevations or slab support, require compaction testing and follow geotechnical recommendations. When estimating material, include extra (about 5 to 10 percent) to account for compaction and grading losses.
Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, fill dirt appearance and texture vary with local geology and moisture content; exact matches to photos cannot be guaranteed. You can add color or texture preferences in Order Notes and our team will relay them to suppliers, but material availability depends on local stock. If appearance is critical, ask for photos of the supplier's current load before delivery or schedule a sample pickup.
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. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. 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. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
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. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
