Why Leakey Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Leakey has a city population of 1,620 and sits in West Texas where steady regional growth (0.80% annually) and proximity to a metro area population of 2.5+ million drive ongoing home and infrastructure projects. With a climate of 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners face both strong sun and periodic heavy rains that affect grading, drainage, and soil stability. That combination means contractors and DIYers often need reliable quantities of clean fill dirt for raising building pads, correcting low spots, stabilizing slopes, and preparing driveways and garden terraces. Quality fill dirt — low-organic, well-graded material that compacts predictably — reduces future settlement and supports proper drainage, which is why Leakey homeowners prioritize sourcing consistent, locally appropriate aggregates.Popular Projects in Leakey This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Leakey Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Leakey.
Typical delivered price for basic screened fill dirt in rural West Texas markets like Leakey often falls in the range of about $12 to $30 per ton, depending on supplier, screening, and season. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Final price and delivery window will depend on your zip code, truck access, and whether you request spreading or special routing.
For driveway and ranch-road subgrade use a clean, well-graded fill with minimal organics and stone fines rather than topsoil. Place material in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each lift to about 90-95% of standard Proctor density (95% for structural fills). Finish the driving surface with a compacted layer of crushed rock or limestone to improve durability and drainage.
West Texas heat and drought can cause shrinkage and settlement in some fill soils, while intense rainstorms can trigger erosion, rills, and washouts on unprotected slopes. To reduce problems, compact to specified density, maintain good surface drainage (swales, ditches), and protect exposed areas with rock, seed/vegetation, or erosion control measures. Expect regional materials to include caliche or clay components that respond differently to wet-dry cycles, so plan accordingly.
Loose (truck-dumped) fill dirt commonly weighs about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, while compacted fill ranges from roughly 1.4 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and soil type. For planning, use 1.25 tons/yd3 loose and 1.5 tons/yd3 compacted and add 5-10% for compaction and waste. For exact numbers, ask your Hello Gravel quote to list the supplier's wet/dry weight assumptions.
Permit and weight-limit rules depend on local roads and bridges; many residential drives accept standard tri-axle trucks without permits, but some county roads or narrow rural routes in Real County may impose restrictions. Check with Real County Road & Bridge or your neighborhood association if you have tight access or private roads. Hello Gravel will flag obvious route or access concerns during checkout and some haulers may charge additional fees for long drives, steep approaches, or required escorts.
Yes. Hello Gravel works with regional suppliers and independent haulers across West Texas and can provide quotes for screened/washed fill dirt by the ton or cubic yard once you enter your zip code. Availability and the exact material (caliche, screened fill, washed fill) vary by season and local quarry stock, so we recommend requesting a material description and delivery photos in your order notes.
Fill dirt is intended for raising grade and backfill, not for long-term surface drainage or erosion control. Crushed limestone or base rock is far better as a surface layer for driveways, drainage channels, and erosion resistance because it sheds water and locks together when compacted. A common approach in the Hill Country/West Texas is compacted fill dirt for subgrade with a crushed-stone wearing surface and geotextile separation where needed.
For small residential fills use a plate compactor or jumping jack; for larger areas or ranch roads use a tandem or vibratory roller and compact in 6-8 inch lifts. Use a non-woven geotextile for separation and stabilization on soft subgrades and consider geogrid on steep or weak slopes; add riprap or rip-rap-lined swales where concentrated flow is expected. For sites in mapped floodplain or steep terrain, consult a local engineer to confirm required compaction, materials, and permits.
Ask for screened, low-organic fill and a material description at checkout, and mark a clear drop zone for the driver to avoid property damage. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want it, but know the driver will assess feasibility on arrival, and always plan for drainage and a rock surface where vehicles will travel. If your project is structural or in a flood-prone area, get a soil test or engineer recommendation before finalizing the order.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
