Why Louise Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Louise has a city population of 1,830 and sits within a West Texas metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. With a steady annual growth rate of 0.95% and a semi-arid climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b—local projects emphasize durable grading and careful water management. Homeowners and contractors in Louise often need reliable materials to build driveways, level lots, backfill foundations, and create building pads. Fill dirt is a fundamental, cost-effective aggregate used to raise grades, replace soft soils, and stabilize foundations. Because poor-quality fill can lead to settling and drainage problems, Louise homeowners look for consistent, compactable fill dirt sourced to match local geology and engineered for predictable performance.Popular Projects in Louise This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Louise Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Louise.
In small West Texas towns like Louise, delivery costs for fill dirt usually include a material price plus a delivery fee. Expect material prices roughly in the range of $6 to $20 per ton and delivery or minimum-load fees often between $50 and $200 depending on distance and road access; Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons. For an exact quote, check your zip code on our site or contact our team because local supplier rates and truck availability drive final pricing.
Loose fill dirt in West Texas typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, and compacted fill can end up around 1.4 to 1.8 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and clay content. For ordering, plan on about 1.3 tons per cubic yard as a practical estimate and add 10-20% extra to allow for compaction, settling, and grading losses. If you need help converting for your project, use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.
Louise and the surrounding West Texas area are hot and can experience drought, then sudden seasonal storms; those swings affect fill dirt performance. Dry, clay-rich fill will shrink and crack in prolonged heat, while heavy storms can cause erosion or slumping if the soil is not compacted and graded with proper drainage. For driveways and pads, contractors typically compact in lifts, add a well-draining base or crushed stone, and grade to shed water to reduce weather-related problems.
Screened fill dirt in rural Texas commonly has a mix of fines and small particles with limited large rock — often a clay-silt-sand blend with less than 10-15% coarse gravel. Contractors look for relatively consistent fines for good compaction, low organic content, and few roots or debris. If you need engineered specs (percent clay, sand, gravel), ask suppliers for a material analysis or request screened/structural fill specifically through Hello Gravel so local suppliers can match your needs.
Screened fill dirt usually costs a few dollars more per ton than unscreened material because of the processing; a typical difference is $3 to $7 per ton depending on local availability. In Wharton County and nearby areas, local haulers often deliver within roughly 20 to 50 miles of their production site, but available suppliers and exact radii vary by location. Use Hello Gravel to check nearby suppliers by zip code and get firm pricing and delivery radius for your order.
Yes, for heavy-traffic driveways contractors commonly don’t rely on fill dirt alone; they add a crushed stone base or use stabilizers. A typical approach is 4 to 6 inches of compacted structural fill or crushed stone, possibly with a geotextile and a wearing course of 1 to 2 inches of compacted crushed rock; lime or cement stabilization is used only after soil testing indicates it is needed. Ask our team for recommendations based on traffic, budget, and local soil conditions.
Installers in and around Louise typically compact fill dirt in lifts of 4 to 8 inches loose thickness, using plate compactors for small areas and vibratory rollers or sheepsfoot rollers for larger jobs. Proper compaction equipment depends on material type and project size: hand tampers for tight spots, plate compactors for patios and small pads, and rollers for driveways or roadways. Contractors often perform multiple passes and target specified compaction percentages, so discuss lift thickness and equipment with your contractor or Hello Gravel supplier before delivery.
Permitting depends on the scope of work and local rules; routine small deliveries for yard grading usually do not require county permits, but large-scale importation or changes that affect drainage, road access, or floodplains may need approvals. Wharton County or the City of Louise may require permits for significant grading, driveway reconstruction, or if truck routes impact county roads, and roadway overweight/oversize permits may be needed for frequent heavy hauls. Check with Wharton County planning and public works and contact Hello Gravel if you want help estimating haul frequency so you can verify permit needs.
Provide your project address or zip code, desired delivery date, approximate placement location (front yard, driveway, back lot), and whether you want tailgate spreading requested at checkout. Mention any site constraints like narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, or soft entrance roads so suppliers can size trucks appropriately; our minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery is available if ordered before noon CST. If you need screened or structural fill, note that in Order Notes so local suppliers can match material and provide an accurate quote.
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.
