Why Kilgore Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kilgore is a city of 24,034 residents inside a broader metro area of 2.5+ million, and it is seeing steady development with a 0.40% annual growth rate. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall, in Hardiness Zone 8b—creates cycles of sun-driven drying and occasional heavy rain that influence yard grading and site preparation. As homeowners invest in new patios, sheds, driveways, and drainage fixes, reliable aggregates become essential. Fill dirt is a go-to material for raising grades, stabilizing subgrades, and correcting slopes so lawns, walkways, and foundations shed water properly rather than pooling and causing erosion or settling. In Kilgore's conditions, good fill dirt is low in organic material, free of large debris, and compactable so it resists washout during heavy rains and holds firm under drying cycles. Properly selected and compacted fill dirt works well for backfilling foundations, leveling building pads, and building up landscape beds that stay stable through wet seasons. Hello Gravel connects Kilgore homeowners to local suppliers and haulers, offers clear pricing and scheduling, and arranges dump-truck delivery (minimum order 3 tons). Standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST, helping you get the right fill dirt on site when you need it.Popular Projects in Kilgore This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kilgore Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Kilgore.
Delivery cost varies by distance, truck type, and quantity; expect a typical local delivery range of $75 to $250 for a single tri-axle dump truck drop within the Kilgore area. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and often includes free or low-cost delivery depending on supplier and exact zip code—get a quote in checkout to see the price for your address. Heavy hauling farther from the supplier or next-day requests will raise costs.
Hot, dry conditions in West Texas can cause loose fill dirt to dry out, shrink, and erode if not compacted and protected by vegetation or surfacing. For driveways, untreated fill dirt can rut and wash away during storms, so top layers of road base or crushed stone and proper grading are recommended. Regular maintenance after extreme heat or drought seasons helps keep fills stable.
For structural support under a driveway, use engineered fill or road base rather than loose fill dirt; if using fill dirt, place it in 4- to 8-inch lifts and compact each lift to about 90–95% of standard Proctor density. Fill dirt is typically higher in fines and not ideal as a surface layer—finish with a compactable base (crusher fines or road base) and compact it to 95% of standard Proctor for driveway subgrades. If your project requires permits or structural loads, get a geotechnical or civil engineer recommendation.
Approximate quantities for 100 square feet: 2 inches deep = 0.62 cubic yards (about 0.8 tons). 4 inches deep = 1.23 cubic yards (about 1.6 tons). 6 inches deep = 1.85 cubic yards (about 2.4 tons). 12 inches deep = 3.70 cubic yards (about 4.8 tons). These use a common conversion of ~1.3 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt; order a bit extra to allow for compaction and settling.
Local rules can vary; Kilgore and Gregg County commonly require permits for changes to lot grading, driveways that affect right-of-way, or projects that alter drainage. Homeowners should check Kilgore city permitting and public works or contact the county before major grading to avoid erosion or stormwater violations. If you have an HOA, review its covenants for material and grading requirements as well.
Common alternatives include crushed stone or crusher fines (better drainage and compaction for driveways), road base (engineered for load-bearing), and topsoil (for planting). Crushed stone or road base costs more than raw fill dirt but provides superior support and reduces maintenance, while topsoil is used only where planting is intended. Choose based on project: use topsoil for landscaping, road base or crushed stone for driveways, and fill dirt for bulk grade raise where structural strength is not required.
Prevent erosion by installing proper grading and drainage features, such as swales, French drains, or gravel shoulders, and regrade low spots after heavy rain. Add a wearing layer like crusher fines or crushed stone on areas with vehicle traffic, and top up low spots annually where settling occurs. Vegetation or mulch on landscaped slopes helps hold fill in place in hot, dry seasons.

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.
