Why Lubbock Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lubbock, TX, with a city population of 232,385 and a metro population of 328,000, sits on the high plains where steady growth and a semi-arid climate shape local building needs. With a growth rate of 1.20% annually, demand for grading, site preparation, and drainage improvements follows new construction and yard projects across the city. Lubbock averages 275 sunny days per year and just 18.00 inches of rainfall, so homeowners prioritize durable, low-maintenance materials that resist erosion and settle predictably. For projects like raising lot grades, backfilling foundations, building terraces, or correcting low spots, quality fill and proper compaction reduce future settling, protect hardscapes, and help maintain reliable drainage. Fill dirt in Lubbock should be low-organic and readily compactable to perform well in the region’s dry, sunny conditions. Properly placed fill dirt creates a stable base for driveways, patios, retaining walls, and landscape grading while minimizing long-term settlement when paired with appropriate compaction and drainage strategies. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, offering clear pricing, scheduling (standard 2+ business days and next-day options), and material calculators so you get the right fill dirt for your project without the hauling hassle.Popular Projects in Lubbock This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lubbock Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lubbock.
Fill dirt is usually less expensive than gravel because it is less processed and often sourced locally. In Lubbock, regional supply and truck distance affect price, but for bulk earthwork or raising grade, fill dirt is typically the lower-cost option compared with crushed stone or decorative gravels.
Prices vary by supplier, quantity, and delivery distance, so the best way to know is to request a Hello Gravel quote for your zip code. Expect cost factors like minimum order (3 tons), truck size, and whether spreading is requested to affect the final price.
You can put gravel on fill dirt, but the fill must be properly graded and compacted first to prevent settling and washout. In Lubbock's clay- and caliche-prone soils, add a compacted base and consider a geotextile to improve drainage and stability for driveways or paths.
Fill dirt is mostly subsoil—sand, silt, clay and fines—used to raise or stabilize ground and compact well when placed in lifts. Gravel is crushed rock or rounded stone used for drainage, structural base, or finished surfaces; gravel is cleaner and won’t compact the same way as fill dirt.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards (roughly 15 tons depending on moisture and composition); add about 10% for compaction and settling.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used by local haulers carries about 10–14 cubic yards, which for fill dirt equals roughly 12–18 tons depending on density and moisture. Hello Gravel matches you with local trucks and suppliers—request a quote to see available truck sizes and rates in Lubbock.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft pile. As a quick reference, 1 cubic yard will cover about 100 sq ft at 3 inches deep, so you can visualize coverage for small projects around Lubbock homes.
A standard full-size pickup bed holds roughly 0.5 to 1 cubic yard of loose dirt, depending on bed size and how high you load it. For larger jobs in Lubbock it's more efficient and safer to order bulk delivery by dump truck rather than rely on multiple pickup loads.
Yes—bulk fill dirt is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than bagged options when you need multiple cubic yards. For Lubbock projects larger than a few bags, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel lowers cost and reduces handling time.
You can add fill dirt on top of existing soil for small adjustments, but for stable results you should remove organic topsoil, place in thin lifts, and compact each lift. Also call 811 to locate utilities before adding substantial fill and check local grading or permit rules in Lubbock if changing drainage patterns.
Yes—fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and level yards, but success depends on proper placement: remove vegetation, add fill in 4–6 inch lifts, compact each lift, and finish with topsoil where you will plant grass. Given Lubbock's clay and potential caliche, pay attention to drainage and compaction to avoid future settling or puddling.
Fill dirt is typically cheaper than topsoil because it contains fewer nutrients and organic materials. Use fill dirt for grading and subgrade work, and reserve topsoil for the final planting layer where grass or gardens will grow.
Measure the area and desired depth, then use cubic yards = (sq ft x inches of depth) / 324 to get a yardage estimate; convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.2 (varies by moisture and composition), and add 10% for compaction and waste. Enter your measurements on Hello Gravel to get a local quote, pick a delivery date, and note any access constraints for the dump truck.
Yes—Lubbock soils often contain clay and caliche which affect drainage and compaction; local suppliers may source fill that reflects that geology. When ordering through Hello Gravel, you can add notes about intended use and request material preferences, and we will work with local suppliers and haulers to match your needs.
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.
