Why Kendleton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kendleton, population 750, sits inside a growing West Texas metro (2.5+ million) and is experiencing steady development at about 0.70% annually. With 228 sunny days, a hardiness zone of 8b, and roughly 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, local yards alternate between dry heat and intense rain events that drive erosion and settling. As homeowners level lots, create raised planting areas, or adjust grades for drainage, the need for reliable bulk materials rises. Quality fill dirt is a common choice because it raises grade without organic material that can rot, compacts predictably, and provides a stable base for patios, driveways, and retaining walls. Choosing the right fill dirt from a local source helps avoid unexpected settling and drainage issues that are common when unsuitable soils are used.Popular Projects in Kendleton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kendleton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Kendleton.
Typical delivered cost for fill dirt in West Texas ranges roughly $15 to $40 per ton, depending on local source, moisture content, and haul distance to Kendleton. Many suppliers waive a delivery fee for nearby drops, but if not, expect a flat delivery charge of about $50 to $250 for a tri-axle load; tailgate spreading or light spreading is usually an extra $30 to $120 per load or $75 to $150 per hour. Exact prices vary, so request a quote through Hello Gravel to see rates for your zip code.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local dirt pits, contractors, and small quarries that supply fill dirt near Kendleton. Local sources in Fort Bend County typically price delivered fill dirt in the $15 to $40 per ton range, but prices vary by supplier, stockpile quality, and haul distance; ask Hello Gravel to show available suppliers and current price ranges for your address. Suppliers often list material descriptions so you can confirm low-organic, construction-grade fill dirt before ordering.
For raising grades in Kendleton's hot, clay-prone soils, use clean fill dirt with minimal organic material and debris so it compacts predictably. However, fill dirt alone is not a good wearing surface for driveways; install a structural base (crusher run or crushed limestone) over compacted fill for driveways and finished pads. For engineered pads or structural backfill, contractors should use select or engineered fill specified by an engineer rather than generic fill dirt.
Use the rule: cubic yards = (square feet × depth in feet) / 27, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt. As a ballpark for a 1,000 sq ft area: 2 inches needs about 6.2 cubic yards (≈7.5 to 8.5 tons), 4 inches needs about 12.3 cubic yards (≈15 to 17 tons), and 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards (≈22 to 26 tons). For exact ordering, measure your area, run the formula, and ask Hello Gravel to calculate tons for your specific project.
Fill dirt will compact and hold grade when properly placed and compacted, but Kendleton's heat and clay soils can cause shrink-swell, cracking, and surface settling over time. Expect some settlement after installation that may require topping off, and protect exposed slopes from erosion after heavy rains with temporary mulch, seed, or erosion control blankets. For long-term performance, cap fill with topsoil and vegetation or a gravel surface where traffic is expected.
Compacted, clean fill dirt can be used for non-structural grade work, but for building pads, foundations, and septic trenches you should follow local code and engineer specifications. Many projects require engineered or 'select' fill and specified compaction testing rather than generic fill dirt to meet bearing and drainage requirements. Consult your engineer or local permit office before using fill dirt for structural or septic applications.
Fill dirt is typically the least expensive material to raise grade, but it is not designed to be a driveway surface and will rut and hold water in Kendleton's clay soils. Crushed limestone or crusher run costs more upfront but compacts into a stable, draining base that lasts longer with vehicle traffic and requires less maintenance. If budget is tight, use fill dirt to raise the subgrade and finish driveways with a crushed aggregate base for durability.
Local rules vary, so verify any Fort Bend County or Kendleton ordinances before a large delivery; common restrictions involve blocking public right-of-way, delivery hours, and overweight/oversize permits for trucks. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery details, but you should check with the city or county public works for driveway access rules, street-obstruction permits, and any local hauling limits that could affect delivery timing or routing. Also confirm where the driver can dump on your property and mark hidden utilities before delivery.
Installation costs include material (per ton), delivery (flat fee or built into per-ton price), spreading, and compaction. As a rough example for a 1,000 sq ft area raised 4 inches: material might be 15 to 17 tons × $15–$40 per ton, delivery $50–$250 depending on distance, and spreading/compaction labor/equipment $300–$800 depending on access and crew size. For precise estimates, contractors should get line-item quotes through Hello Gravel so you can compare material, delivery, and on-site work costs.
Fill dirt by itself is not an ideal erosion-control surface on slopes because it contains fine particles that wash easily until vegetation takes hold. For slope work in Kendleton, place fill in compacted lifts, protect exposed areas with erosion control blankets or mulch, and establish quick-growing groundcover; consider combining fill with geotextiles, rock rip-rap, or small retaining structures where runoff is concentrated. For larger or steeper slopes, consult a civil engineer or erosion-control specialist to design a stable solution.

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.
