Why Harrold Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Harrold, West Texas (city population: 198) sits inside a growing regional market (metro area population: 2.5+ million) that is expanding at a steady pace (growth rate: 0.70% annually). With 228 clear days annually, annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance long sunny stretches with periodic rain events that affect grading and drainage. Those climate and growth factors drive steady local demand for basic earthwork and site-preparation materials. Homeowners looking to level yards, raise low spots, or prep pads for outbuildings often seek dependable, compactible aggregates. Fill Dirt meets those needs when properly placed and compacted, offering a stable, inexpensive subgrade option that supports landscaping and light construction projects under Harrold’s local conditions.Popular Projects in Harrold This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Harrold Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Harrold.
Delivered prices for fill dirt in rural West Texas around Harrold generally fall in a broad range due to haul distance and material quality; expect roughly $15 to $45 per ton delivered as an approximate range. Prices on the low end reflect local caliche or low-organic fill close to suppliers; higher costs reflect longer hauls, special screening, or smaller delivery sizes. Check your zip code in our checkout for accurate local pricing and discounts for larger loads.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons, and most Harrold deliveries use dump trucks, typically tri-axle end dumps for small-to-medium loads. For larger jobs suppliers may use tandem axles or semi-trailers; a tri-axle generally carries about 12–18 tons of fill dirt depending on density and local road limits. If access or road weight limits are a concern, let us know at checkout so suppliers can match the right truck.
Drainage depends on the fill mix: fill dirt high in fines or clay drains slowly and can hold moisture, while sandy or caliche-rich mixes drain better. West Texas heat dries material quickly, which can make dry fill harder to compact; best compaction usually requires moisture and mechanical tamping. For structural fills or bases, ask for a compactable, low-organic mix and plan to moisten and compact in lifts for best results.
Permitting varies by project: Harrold is a small community, but Swisher County or nearby municipalities may require permits for significant grading, driveway approaches onto county roads, or work affecting drainage. Before major grading or runoff changes, check Swisher County and the city of Harrold for local rules and obtain any required permits. If you’re unsure, contact our team and we can help you confirm local requirements or point you to the county office.
Use these typical ranges because weight varies by material density: 3" (0.25 ft) needs about 10 to 12 tons. 6" (0.5 ft) needs about 20 to 25 tons. 12" (1 ft) needs about 41 to 50 tons. These estimates assume common fill densities in the region; for a precise quantity use our material calculator or share your desired depth and compaction level when ordering.
Crushed limestone or road base: excellent for driveway surfaces and compaction, drains better than pure fill dirt but costs more. Engineered fill: blended and compacted to engineer specs; best for foundations and critical grading but is the most expensive. Clean sand or pea gravel: drains well and is good for backfill or drainage trenches but is not a good load-bearing driveway base by itself. For Harrold driveways, many homeowners use local caliche or road base for the base layer and a crushed stone surface for durability.
Expect some settlement in the first year after placement as the material consolidates, especially if not placed in compacted lifts; periodic topping or regrading may be needed. As a driveway base alone, fill dirt without proper compaction and a surfacing layer can develop ruts and dust within a few seasons. With correct compaction and a durable surface (crushed stone or pavement), a properly built driveway base can last many years; for yard fill, vegetation and erosion control will influence long-term performance.
Some local suppliers and contractor partners in the Harrold area offer delivery plus installation (spreading, grading, compaction), but availability varies by supplier and job access. Typical install costs depend on equipment and time; you may see labor and equipment markups ranging from modest flat fees up to $5–$20 per ton equivalent, or hourly charges for machinery (often $50–$150 per hour). We recommend requesting a combined quote for material-plus-installation in checkout so you can compare material-only pricing vs full service.
Yes. Hot, dry summers can make compaction harder unless material is moistened; sudden summer storms can cause erosion of newly placed fill. Late winter and spring are often good windows for placement and compaction, but work can be done year-round with proper moisture control, erosion measures, and scheduling around heavy rains. Plan grading before major rainy seasons and use temporary erosion control (straw, silt fencing) where needed.
For structural fill and driveway bases choose low-organic, compactable mixes (often called select fill) that include sand and fines for interlock; they compact well and limit settling. For patios and areas needing drainage, consider a sand or sand-gravel blend or a free-draining backfill (clean fill) to avoid water pooling. Avoid using topsoil or high-organic mixes as fill; tell your supplier the project type in checkout so they can match a suitable local mix.
