Why Grape Creek Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Grape Creek is a growing West Texas community of 4,700 located inside a metro area of 2.5+ million and experiencing steady expansion at 2.24% annually. With 235 sunny days a year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and just 28.50 inches of annual rainfall, the local climate swings between long dry periods and occasional intense storms. That combination increases the need for dependable earthwork materials as homeowners and small contractors tackle yard regrades, driveway bases, raised planting beds, retaining-wall backfill, and utility trenches. Because native soils in the area can include organic material that leads to settling, residents seek quality fill dirt that compacts well and provides a stable subgrade before installing pavers, sod, or structures.Popular Projects in Grape Creek This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Grape Creek Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Grape Creek.
Fill dirt is subsoil with minimal organic material used to raise grades, fill low spots, and build non-structural pads. In Grape Creek you’ll use it to level lots, fix erosion gullies after seasonal rains, or raise driveways above flood-prone low spots. It is not a finished driving surface, so plan to top it with compactable base rock or paving where vehicles will travel.
A cubic yard of loose fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on moisture and particle size. Calculate volume first (length x width x depth in feet, divided by 27 = cubic yards) and then multiply by 1.2–1.6 to get an approximate tonnage. For best results, add 5–10% extra for compaction and settling when ordering.
If you are simply raising grade, common lifts are 6–12 inches of fill dirt compacted in layers, but structural building pads require engineered fill and compaction to specified densities. For driveways, use fill dirt only to build grade; place 4–6 inches (or more for heavy use) of compactable base rock or crusher run on top for a durable surface. Always check local building codes or an engineer for foundation and pad work.
Choose screened, clean fill dirt with low organic content for reliable compaction in hot, dry West Texas conditions. In areas with expansive clay soils you may need engineered clay mixes or a sand/sand-gravel blend to reduce shrink-swell; contractors sometimes add lime or cement stabilization for critical pads. Because materials are regionally sourced, expect local variation and ask your Hello Gravel rep for supplier details.
Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum order and delivers via local contracted dump truck fleets, often tri-axle trucks. Standard delivery is available in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
Tom Green County and some rural roads may require overweight or oversized haul permits for very large deliveries, and local road restrictions can apply—especially after heavy rains. Trucks used by Hello Gravel partners are typically standard dump trailers, but if your delivery is unusually large or needs access down narrow or private roads, check with county officials and notify Hello Gravel so we can coordinate with the hauler. Also consider scheduling deliveries during dry conditions to reduce road damage and access issues.
Fill dirt alone is not a long-lasting surface for driveways; heat and heavy rains in West Texas can cause rutting and erosion if the surface is not capped with rock or pavement. Expect to regrade and add material after major storms and every few years for unpaved surfaces; topping the fill with a compacted layer of crusher run or crushed stone greatly increases longevity. Proper compaction during installation lowers maintenance needs over time.
Yes. Mechanical compaction in 4–6 inch lifts significantly improves stability and reduces settling, and geotextile fabric helps separate fill from soft subgrades, limits mixing, and controls erosion on slopes. For sloped or marginal sites in Grape Creek, combining geotextile with proper drainage and staged compaction provides the most reliable long-term result.
Use fill dirt to raise and shape the grade but not as the final driving surface. Crusher run and limestone screenings compact better and make superior driving surfaces; crusher run offers interlocking strength while limestone screenings provide a smooth finish but may rut in heavy rains. The best approach in Grape Creek is a graded subgrade of compacted fill dirt topped with several inches of crusher run or crushed limestone for durability.
Prices vary with site access, equipment, and project scope, but expect contractor installation and compaction to range roughly from $6 to $20 per cubic yard for small to medium jobs, or about $0.50 to $2.50 per square foot for simple grading and compaction. These are ballpark ranges—steeper sites, long truck runs, or engineered pad specifications will increase costs. We recommend getting at least two local contractor quotes for an accurate estimate.
Grade surfaces to shed water away from structures, build shallow swales and berms, and use rock outlets or riprap at concentrated discharge points to handle flash rains common in West Texas. During installation, use silt fence and erosion control blankets on exposed slopes, and establish vegetation or rock cover as soon as possible to stabilize soil. For critical areas, consider subsurface drains or perforated pipe to keep water away from compacted fill.
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.
