Why Gorman Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gorman, West Texas, is a small community with a population of 1,410 that sits inside a broader West Texas metro area of about 2.5+ million people and is growing steadily at 0.40% annually. Its semi-arid climate—228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall near 34.25 inches in hardiness zone 8b—shapes how homes and yards are built and maintained. Homeowners and local builders here often need reliable materials to manage grading, drainage, and landscaping in a climate that alternates strong sun with episodic rain. Quality aggregates matter because poorly compacted or inappropriate fill can lead to settling, drainage problems, and extra rework in hot, sun-baked conditions. That makes sourcing consistent, locally appropriate Fill Dirt an important step before pouring pads, backfilling, or regrading driveways and low spots around homes.Popular Projects in Gorman This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gorman Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Gorman.
Delivered fill dirt prices in and around Gorman, TX generally run in a broad range due to haul distance and local supply — expect roughly $12 to $30 per ton (about $14 to $36 per cubic yard). Remote delivery, small minimum orders, poor access, or wet conditions can push costs toward the high end; for an exact quote check your zip code with Hello Gravel.
Hello Gravel connects you with local West Texas suppliers and haulers serving Gorman, typically sourcing material from nearby pits in Eastland County or surrounding counties. Minimum orders are commonly our 3-ton platform minimum, but many haulers prefer full truck loads (roughly 10 to 15 tons for a tri-axle) for remote deliveries, so availability and minimums depend on your address and road access.
A 1,500 sq ft area at 4 inches is about 18.5 cubic yards of material. Using typical fill-dirt weight (about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard) you will need roughly 22 to 26 tons; order 5-10% extra to account for spreading losses and compaction, so plan for about 24 to 29 tons to be safe.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grades and filling low spots, but it is not a good finished surface for driveways in clay-prone West Texas soils because it drains poorly and can rut or swell when wet. For driveways, place well-compacted fill dirt as a subgrade and top with a structural layer such as road base, crusher run, or washed gravel for durability and drainage.
Small deliveries for typical yard projects usually do not require a permit, but large fills, changes to drainage, work in floodplains, or anything affecting public right-of-way may trigger city or county permits. Before ordering large amounts, check with the City of Gorman and Eastland County permitting or planning office and note any septic, drainage, or easement restrictions.
Fill dirt generally has poor surface drainage and is more prone to erosion on slopes compared with crushed stone. Crushed stone or rock provides immediate surface stability and better runoff management; if you must use fill dirt on a slope, combine it with terracing, erosion control matting, vegetation, or a stone-facing layer to reduce erosion.
Proper installation usually means placing fill in thin lifts (commonly 6 to 8 inches) and compacting each lift to a specified density; for yard grading a plate compactor or small roller often suffices, while larger fills require a vibratory or sheepsfoot roller and machine operator. Moisture conditioning and staged compaction are important for clay-rich West Texas soils; for structural fills consult an engineer or local contractor to confirm required compaction specs.
Common alternatives include road base (crusher-run), crusher run, and washed gravel: road base/crusher-run compacts well and is ideal for driveways and access roads, while washed gravel drains better and is used as a finished surface. Fill dirt is usually the cheapest option for bulk grading and raising ground level, but for driveways or drainage-sensitive spots choose road base or washed stone despite higher cost for better performance.
Plan for truck access that accommodates tri-axle dump trucks, keep the driveway or delivery area clear, and communicate any low-hanging lines or tight turns to Hello Gravel when ordering. If you need tailgate spreading request it at checkout, but note drivers only spread at their discretion and some rural sites may require offloading a stockpile for later spreading by you or a hired contractor.
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.
