Why Hooks Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hooks, Texas (city population 4,390) sits inside a rapidly expanding West Texas metro area (metro area population 2.5+ million) and is experiencing steady construction and landscaping demand driven by a 3.20% annual growth rate. The local climate—about 230 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of dry, compacting conditions and occasional heavy rain events that can expose poor grading or weak fills. Homeowners and contractors in Hooks need dependable materials to form level yards, raise low spots, backfill foundations, and establish reliable drainage. Quality fill dirt reduces the risk of uneven settling, erosion, and standing water, helping projects finish faster and last longer in a region where new development and lot preparation are common. Fill dirt is a basic, compactable soil used to raise grades, backfill trenches, and support foundations—functions that match Hooks’ local needs. Given the area’s 34.00 inches of rain and frequent sun, selecting low-organic, well-graded fill dirt helps manage water flow, minimizes post-installation settlement, and supports landscaping that withstands both dry spells and storm runoff. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and licensed haulers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt, schedule deliveries to fit your timeline, and provide clear pricing and delivery windows. Order minimums start at 3 tons, and you can choose standard or expedited delivery; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion upon arrival.Popular Projects in Hooks This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hooks Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hooks.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Hooks/West Texas area commonly fall in the range of about $10 to $30 per ton, depending on supplier, moisture content, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST at an extra fee. Local sourcing and seasonal demand can push prices up or down, so request a quote for the most accurate price.
Hello Gravel connects you with local quarries, landscape suppliers, and haulers that serve Hooks and nearby West Texas areas. Typical minimums for delivery start at 3 tons via Hello Gravel, while some local suppliers or smaller haulers may require larger minimums or full truckloads (usually one tri-axle). Contact our team with your zip code so we can match you with available suppliers and confirm minimums.
Use the formula cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in ft) / 27, and convert volume to weight using a regional density. For West Texas fill dirt, a practical estimate is about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard (use 1.2 tons/yd3 for planning). Always allow for variation due to moisture and compaction, and ask Hello Gravel for supplier-specific density if you need precise numbers.
Per inch of coverage, expect about 0.0833 feet of depth, so one inch over 1,000 sq ft equals roughly 3.1 cubic yards. Using 1.2 tons per cubic yard as a West Texas estimate, that is about 3.7 tons per inch for 1,000 sq ft. For smaller or linear projects like trench backfill, compute volume (length x width x depth) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by 1.2 to estimate tons.
Fill dirt is designed for raising grade and structural backfill, not as a wearing surface. For driveways and vehicle pads in Hooks' hot, seasonal climate, crushed stone, road base, or crusher run are generally better because they compact and shed water. If you use fill dirt beneath a driveway or pad, compact it properly and place an appropriate structural base layer on top.
For structural backfill around foundations and under pads, place fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift with mechanical compaction to achieve stable support. For driveways you should top the compacted fill dirt with a structural base (road base or crusher run) and compact that in similar lifts. For critical or permitted work, follow engineered specifications or local building department requirements and consider compaction testing.
Local rules can apply: check City of Hooks and Bowie County permitting offices for grading, fill, or drainage permits, especially for projects that affect lot elevations or stormwater flow. Many HOAs have rules on finished grades, visible soil, or driveway materials, so review HOA covenants before ordering. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or your local planning office early to avoid rework.
In Hooks' hot summers and occasional heavy rains, fill dirt that is not well compacted or protected can settle, erode, or develop ruts over several years. Good compaction, proper grading for drainage, and a wearing surface (gravel or pavement) over fill dirt reduce settlement and erosion risks. Plan for small maintenance events and regrading after very heavy storms, and use erosion controls on exposed slopes.
Confirm that delivery trucks have safe access: clear overhead lines, a minimum gate/drive width for a tri-axle truck, and turning room for large trucks. Tell Hello Gravel about soft driveways, steep approaches, or weight-restricted roads—some residential drives may not support a loaded dump truck and offloading options can be limited. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout but do not expect guaranteed spreading.
For most fill dirt projects in Hooks, plan on ordering about 10% extra to cover compaction and grading. For heavy compaction, deep fills, or uneven ground plan for 15% overage; for shallow topdressing 5% may be sufficient. If your project is critical, calculate material by volume using the finished compacted depth and discuss overage with Hello Gravel so suppliers can advise based on local material characteristics.
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.
