Why Live Oak Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Live Oak has a population of 16,377 and sits inside a fast-expanding West Texas metro of 2.7+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.00% annually, residential development and yard projects are common as homeowners update driveways, level lots, and build raised beds. The local climate—220/year sunny days, a hardiness zone of 8b, and annual rainfall of 32.91 inches—means outdoor projects must balance heat, sporadic heavy rain, and soil stability. That combination drives demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners want fill that compacts well, resists erosion during downpours, and creates a stable base for pavers, lawns, and small foundations. Quality Fill Dirt reduces settlement, improves grading control, and minimizes future repairs compared with loose, inconsistent material. Fill Dirt performs well in Live Oak when properly placed and compacted to handle the city’s rainfall and high sun exposure. Because regional sourcing reflects local geology, Hello Gravel supplies Fill Dirt tailored to area conditions and delivers by professional dump truck fleets with a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. We connect you with local suppliers, provide quantity help, and coordinate delivery so your project gets the right fill on the right schedule.Popular Projects in Live Oak This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Live Oak Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Live Oak.
Fill dirt is mostly subsoil with few rocks or organic material used to raise grades or fill holes. In Live Oak's West Texas climate it is commonly used to build up low spots, backfill foundations, and prepare yard grades, but it is not intended as a finished driving surface without a wearing layer like crushed stone.
Use the area times depth method: area (sq ft) x depth (in) / 324 = cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of fill dirt in the field equals about 1.2 short tons, so a 12 ft x 30 ft driveway requires roughly 1.11 cubic yards (about 1.3 tons) per inch of depth.
Live Oak soils can include clay pockets and sandy layers; clay can shrink and swell with moisture changes while sand drains quickly. That means fill dirt placed without proper compaction or drainage can settle unevenly, so expect to compact in lifts and address drainage to limit future movement.
Yes, compaction is important to reduce settling in West Texas heat and seasonal rains. Compact in 6- to 8-inch lifts using a plate compactor or roller and add water as needed for proper density; mechanical compaction is especially important under driveways, patios, and foundations.
Use geotextile fabric when building over very soft or silty subgrades, or where erosion and washout are likely. Fabric helps separate soft native soils from the fill, improves stability, and reduces contamination, but it is not required for simple small fills over stable ground.
No, fill dirt is not a good wearing surface; it compacts but lacks binding and drainage properties needed for vehicle traffic. For driveway surfaces or mailbox approaches, place a structural layer like crusher run or road base topped with crushed stone on top of compacted fill dirt.
Costs vary by tonnage, distance, and contractor labor; Hello Gravel lists clear pricing at checkout and requires a 3-ton minimum. Expect delivery within standard 2+ business days or next-day with a fee if ordered before noon CST; get a quote through our site for an exact price.
Same-week delivery is often available but depends on local supplier schedules and truck availability. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and will show delivery windows and fees at checkout so you can choose the earliest available date.
Requirements vary by city, county, and homeowner association. For small grading projects you often do not need a permit, but larger raises near lot lines, drainage channels, or more than a few feet of fill may require permits or HOA approval; check Live Oak city code and your HOA before ordering.
Fill dirt itself does not 'wear out' but can settle, erode, or rut under traffic—especially during hot, dry summers and occasional flash rains. Expect some settling in the first 6 to 12 months; plan to regrade and add material as needed, maintain drainage, and use a proper surface layer for any drive or high-traffic areas.
Yes, demand and availability can shift seasonally: wet periods can limit quarry and trucking operations while summer landscaping season can raise demand. Hello Gravel shows current local availability and seasonal lead times in checkout, and our team can advise on timing to avoid peak delays.
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.
