Why Kountze Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kountze has a city population of 8,190 and sits within a growing West Texas metro area with a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a modest growth rate of 0.31% annually and a climate that averages 204 sunny days and 54.25 inches of rain each year in hardiness zone 9a, local homeowners face both sun and heavy rainfall when planning outdoor projects. That combination drives demand for reliable earthwork and grading materials: driveways, raised beds, yard regrading, and foundation prep all benefit from proper fill. Homeowners seek quality aggregates that compact well, resist erosion in heavy rain, and create stable bases for landscaping and structures—issues that matter in Kountze's climate and development pattern.Popular Projects in Kountze This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kountze Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Kountze.
Local fill dirt pricing in Kountze typically ranges, but most suppliers charge roughly $8 to $20 per ton or about $10 to $30 per cubic yard depending on screening and delivery. Prices vary with regional availability, moisture in the material, and whether you need screened or engineered fill. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and can show you exact, upfront pricing after you enter your zip code.
Deliveries to Kountze are generally made by tri-axle dump trucks that hold about 12 to 14 cubic yards loose. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order in most areas, standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Expect possible extra charges for long drives, tight access, or if the driver must make multiple drops.
Some local suppliers and contracted haulers offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, which you can request at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. For machine spreading, grading, and compaction you will likely need a local contractor with a skid-steer, small dozer, or roller; typical hourly rates for equipment plus operator run roughly $100 to $200 per hour depending on machine and scope. Contact Hello Gravel for local contractor referrals and to add spreading requests to your order notes.
General-purpose fill dirt is usually a mixture of native soils with minimal organics and variable sand or clay content rather than a precise gradation. For structural work, contractors typically want engineered fill compacted to about 90% of standard Proctor (often 90 to 95%) with testing to verify. If you are building foundations, slabs, or critical pads in Kountze, ask for engineered or tested fill and a compaction report from your contractor or supplier.
Fill dirt is primarily used to raise grade and fill voids and is usually the least expensive option, but it lacks the structural strength and drainage of crusher run or road base. Crusher run and road base contain crushed rock and graded fines, so they compact tightly and are better for driveways and building pads. Topsoil is for planting and retains organics, so it is not suitable as a structural fill; use topsoil only for the final planting layer.
Local fill dirt will vary by moisture, compaction, and soil type, but a practical conversion is about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For many Kountze orders use 1.2 tons per cubic yard as a working estimate and then add 5 to 10 percent extra to account for settlement and compaction. Enter your measurements into Hello Gravel's material calculator for a more precise estimate and confirm with a local supplier if you need an exact tonnage.
Permit and septic requirements vary by project type, but Hardin County and the City of Kountze may require engineered fill, compaction testing, or approval for work in regulated floodplains. Septic system installations often require clean fill and local health department approval, and foundation permits commonly ask for compaction verification or soil reports. Always check with the Hardin County permitting office or your local inspector before ordering large amounts of fill for permitted work.
Kountze’s climate is humid with seasonal heavy rains, and local soils can include clay that expands and shrinks with moisture changes. That means un-compacted or high-clay fill can settle, rut, or shift more over time; proper compaction, drainage, and using well-graded material reduce these risks. For driveways and pads, add proper base layers, grading, and erosion controls to handle Kountze’s rainfall patterns.
Yes, many local suppliers offer a range from loose native fill to screened or engineered fill and occasionally recycled fill. Screened or engineered fill carries a price premium—often 10 to 30 percent more—because of processing and testing, while recycled material may be cheaper but can include foreign debris. Ask Hello Gravel to filter supplier options for screened or certified material if your project requires it.
Standard lead times in the Kountze area are usually 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee. Lead times can stretch in spring and fall when landscaping and road work are at peak demand, and large orders (several truckloads) may require scheduling a week or more in advance. Hello Gravel will show local availability and confirm delivery windows when you place your order.
Most regular fill deliveries do not include lab testing or warranties; they are sold as-is to raise grade or fill holes. If you need Proctor tests, compaction reports, or certified engineered fill for permits or structural work, request engineered material when ordering and ask Hello Gravel to connect you with suppliers who offer testing for an extra fee. Your contractor or geotechnical engineer can also arrange on-site testing and certification when required.
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.
