Why Kerens Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kerens, with a population of 3,130, sits in West Texas where steady, modest growth (0.44% annually) and local climate shape homeowners' material needs. The area averages 228 sunny days per year and receives about 34.25 inches of rain annually, and it falls in hardiness zone 8b. These conditions—long dry stretches punctuated by moderate rainfall—drive demand for reliable aggregate solutions for yard grading, foundation backfill, driveway base, and erosion control. Homeowners in a small but growing community near a broader metro of 2.5+ million want materials that compact well, resist washout during storms, and tolerate frequent sun exposure without shrinking or cracking. Fill Dirt is Kerens' go-to material when you need to raise grade, fill low spots, or build a stable subbase for landscaping and light construction. Properly sourced and compacted fill dirt helps limit settling after heavy rains and reduces erosion on sun‑exposed slopes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who understand West Texas soil conditions and arranges dump-truck delivery to your site—standard deliveries require 2+ business days, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. We handle ordering, scheduling, and local logistics so your project stays on track.Popular Projects in Kerens This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kerens Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Kerens.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel because it is made of native soil without crushed stone. In Kerens, local sourcing in West Texas often keeps prices lower, but final cost depends on quantity, haul distance, and whether the material is clean (free of organics). Request a quote on Hello Gravel to compare exact prices for your ZIP code.
Prices vary by supplier, season, and haul distance, so Hello Gravel provides a firm delivered price when you enter your ZIP code. Instead of a universal number, expect quotes to reflect truck size, minimum order (3 tons), and local availability; call or use our website to get an accurate delivered price for Kerens. We can also show per-yard and per-ton estimates so you can compare.
Fill dirt is mostly soil (clay, silt, sand, sometimes caliche) used to raise ground levels or backfill; it compacts well but drains poorly. Gravel is crushed rock or clean stone used where drainage and structural strength are needed. For foundations, drainage trenches, or driveways in Kerens, choose fill dirt for bulk raising and gravel for strength and drainage.
Most local tri-axle dump trucks used by Hello Gravel suppliers carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards per load. Smaller local trucks may carry less, and very large end-dump rigs carry more; your delivery confirmation will list truck type and expected yardage. If you need precise coverage for a project in Kerens, tell us the desired depth and area so we can recommend the right number of loads.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so at 4 inches deep it covers about 81 square feet. For other depths, divide 27 cubic feet by the depth in feet (for example, 2 inches covers about 162 square feet). Always order 5-10% extra in Kerens to allow for compaction and uneven ground.
A standard wheelbarrow holds about 3 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 9 wheelbarrow loads. If your wheelbarrow is smaller or larger, adjust accordingly; shuttling by wheelbarrow is labor intensive and not recommended for larger Kerens jobs—consider truck-to-location placement instead.
Yes, you can add fill dirt over existing soil, but proper layering and compaction are important to avoid future settling. Remove organic topsoil when possible, place fill in 6-8 inch lifts, and compact each layer; for larger fills in Kerens we recommend professional compaction or specifying compacted material. Ask our team about tailgate spreading options at checkout, noting the driver may perform spreading at their discretion.
Fill dirt is not a good drainage medium because it tends to retain water, especially if it contains clay. For drainage trenches, French drains, or areas where water must move, use clean crushed stone or gravel; use fill dirt only to grade or fill where drainage is not required. If you are unsure for a Kerens site, our team can advise on suitable backfill versus drainage materials.
No, compacted fill dirt will not harden like concrete; it will become denser and firmer but remains soil. Some West Texas materials, like caliche-bearing fill, can form a hard surface when compacted, but this still behaves differently than concrete and can crack or erode. If you need a rigid surface, consider a structural base of crushed stone or paving after filling and compaction.
Black dirt or topsoil is rich in organic matter and used for planting, not for structural fill. In Kerens, black dirt is great for gardens and lawns but is unsuitable as fill under foundations or driveways because it compresses and decomposes. For raising grade or backfilling, choose clean fill dirt; for lawns, use topsoil or black dirt on the final surface.
To cover 1,000 square feet at 4 inches deep, you need about 12.3 cubic yards of fill dirt (1,000 x 0.333 ft = 333.3 cubic feet; 333.3 / 27 = 12.33). For 6 inches depth, that increases to about 18.5 cubic yards. Add 5-10% extra for compaction and uneven surfaces and request a delivered quote specific to Kerens when ordering.
Fill dirt itself does not reliably repel insects; clean inert fill with low organic matter is less attractive to pests than organic-rich topsoil. If fill dirt contains plant material or debris, it can harbor insects and should be screened or replaced. For perimeter work in Kerens, use clean compacted fill and finish the surface with gravel or turf as appropriate to reduce pest habitat.
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.
