Why Gillett Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gillett, population 290, sits in West Texas where steady growth (0.80% annually), abundant sun (228 sunny days per year), and moderate rainfall (34.25 inches annually) shape how homeowners build and landscape. The nearby metro area of 2.5+ million supports access to contractors and materials, while local lots and rural parcels see ongoing small-scale development. As properties are graded, driveways installed, and yards reworked, demand for reliable bulk materials increases. Homeowners choose quality aggregates to prevent settling, improve drainage, and create stable bases for patios, driveways, and landscape beds. In hardiness zone 8b, materials must tolerate heat, occasional heavy rains, and dry spells—so correct material choice and local sourcing matter for long-term performance.Popular Projects in Gillett This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gillett Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Gillett.
Delivery cost varies by supplier distance and site access. Hello Gravel often covers delivery in many areas, but rural West Texas deliveries can incur a fee; expect a typical range of about $50 to $200 for longer hauls or difficult access. Minimum order is 3 tons and final delivery cost is shown at checkout or in your quote.
For Gillett's clay-to-sandy transitional soils, use low-organic, contractor-grade fill dirt that is well-graded and free of large roots and debris. Avoid topsoil for structural fills; if you need better drainage mix in coarse sand or specify a granular engineered fill and consult an engineer for foundations or load-bearing areas.
Fill dirt weight depends on moisture and compaction but is typically about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. That means a 10x10 area at 1 foot deep is about 3.7 cubic yards (4.5 to 6.0 tons), and a 20x30 area at 6 inches deep is about 11.1 cubic yards (13.3 to 17.8 tons). Always order a small overage (5-10%) to account for settlement and compaction.
Local contractors normally place fill in lifts of 6 to 12 inches and compact each lift to a project-specified density, commonly around 90–95% relative compaction per standard test methods. For structural slabs or driveways, compaction testing and geotechnical recommendations are often required; ask your contractor or the building department if tests are needed for your project.
In Gillett's hot, dry climate fill dirt can shrink and settle more than engineered aggregates if not properly compacted and graded. To reduce long-term maintenance, use low-organic contractor-grade fill, compact properly, cover exposed fill with gravel, roadbase, or vegetation, and inspect slopes after heavy rains for erosion.
Fill dirt is best for raising grade and filling voids, but it is not intended as a wearing surface. For driveways and erosion-prone areas, crushed limestone or roadbase provides better structural support, drainage, and durability; a common approach is a compacted fill dirt subgrade capped with roadbase or crushed stone.
Hello Gravel connects you with local West Texas suppliers, so fill dirt will typically be regionally sourced to reflect local soils. Delivery radius depends on nearby quarries and haulers and can vary from a short local haul to 30–75 miles in rural areas; check your zip code on our site for exact availability and estimated delivery fees.
Small landscaping fills usually do not require permits, but any structural fills, building pads, or work affecting drainage often do require permits and inspections. Contact Gillett city hall or the local county building department before major fills and ask whether engineered plans or compaction testing are required for your project.
Yes. Summer deliveries can create dust in hot, dry weather, while spring storms or rare heavy rains can make sites muddy and harder to access. Schedule deliveries with lead time, consider requesting dampened loads to reduce dust, and note that drivers will assess spreading feasibility on arrival (no guarantees).
Prices vary by grade, source, and haul distance; contractor-grade fill dirt in West Texas often falls in a broad range (roughly $8 to $30 per ton). Volume discounts are common for larger orders—ask for a tiered quote if you need 25, 50, or more tons—and Hello Gravel's sales team can provide a location-specific estimate.
Order online by entering your zip code, selecting fill dirt, and choosing a delivery date; minimum orders start at 3 tons. If you need to modify an order, contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible (orders processed for dispatch are harder to change); our team will do their best to accommodate requests before the material ships.

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.

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.
