Why McNeil Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
McNeil, West Texas, is a small but growing community of 8,033 residents located inside a larger metro region of 2.4+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.30% annually and a semi-arid climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA Hardiness Zone 8b—local homeowners face unique site-preparation needs. That combination of sun, occasional heavy rain, and steady development creates demand for dependable bulk materials. Homeowners and contractors turn to quality fill dirt for grading low spots, building pads for sheds and patios, improving drainage around foundations, and preparing landscape beds. Consistent, low-organic fill dirt helps limit future settling and supports long-term performance in McNeil’s climate.Popular Projects in McNeil This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - McNeil Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in McNeil.
Local prices vary with supplier, distance, and volume, but delivered fill dirt in the McNeil/West Texas area commonly runs about $8 to $25 per ton (roughly $10 to $30 per cubic yard) for typical residential orders. Larger orders usually push the per-ton price toward the lower end, while small loads, long drives, or next-day delivery add fees. Use our material calculator and check shipping options at checkout for a more accurate quote.
For West Texas, avoid organic-rich topsoil and use clean, compactable fill — preferably sandy or silty sand fill with low organic content. Where drainage is important, blend or cap the fill with coarse sand, gravel, or a 3/4" crushed stone layer and add geotextile fabric to separate fines from drainage layers. For structural or foundation work, ask for engineered or select fill that meets compaction requirements; for landscaping, a sandy fill topped with gravel improves drainage.
Volume needed is about 12.3 cubic yards for 1,000 sq ft raised 4 inches (1000 * 4/12 / 27). Using a practical conversion range of 1.2 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, expect roughly 15 to 16 tons of loose fill dirt, with a safe ordering range of 14 to 18 tons to allow for compaction and settlement. Always round up slightly and consult your supplier about loose vs compacted weight.
Permit rules vary by city, county, and neighborhood; McNeil area work is typically governed by your city or Travis County permitting office and any HOA rules. Small yard fills often do not require a permit, but grading that changes drainage, affects floodplains, or moves large volumes commonly does. Before ordering, contact your local permitting office and review HOA covenants to confirm permit, erosion control, and inspection requirements.
A driveway built only of fill dirt will perform poorly in McNeil's climate — it tends to rut, dust, and erode with rain. For lasting performance, place a well-compacted road base or crushed limestone over the fill, with 6 to 8 inches of compacted structural material for typical residential driveways. Expect periodic maintenance such as regrading or adding material after heavy storms, typically every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and drainage.
Fill dirt is best used as bulk structural fill or to raise grade; it is not an ideal finished surface. Crushed limestone provides a good finished surface in many Central Texas yards and drives, offering drainage and compaction, while road base (engineered aggregate with fines) is the preferred load-bearing layer under driveways and paving. For durable driveways, use compacted road base topped with crushed limestone or a wearing surface.
Suppliers in our network deliver by dump truck (typically tri-axle) and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and may incur an extra fee if arranged. Small orders, restricted access, long-distance drops, or next-day requests can carry additional charges — check delivery options and fees during checkout.
Direct runoff away from structures by maintaining positive grades, install swales or terraces on steeper slopes, and use erosion-control measures like geotextile fabric, straw or erosion blankets, rock riprap at outlets, and prompt vegetation or hydroseed. For steeper or high-flow areas, a retaining wall, terraces, and reinforced channels are often necessary to prevent washouts. Check local stormwater rules before altering grades, since changes that increase runoff onto neighbors can trigger permitting or remediation.
Place fill in lifts (layers) no thicker than 6 to 8 inches loose, then compact each lift; for small residential areas use a vibrating plate compactor or walk-behind roller, and for larger fills use a vibratory drum or sheep's-foot roller. For structural or foundation fills, aim for compaction targets (often 90% or higher of Standard Proctor) and control moisture content during placement. If the project is structural, have compaction tested by a soils engineer and follow any engineered fill specifications.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers that can provide DOT-spec or vendor-certified materials on request — ask for the material spec sheet or delivery ticket to confirm compliance. Minimums depend on the supplier and the material; our marketplace has a 3-ton minimum for many residential deliveries, but DOT-graded aggregate or large jobs may require larger minimums from the pit or quarry. Contact our team or request quotes through the platform to compare local DOT-approved options and minimums.
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.
