Why Missouri City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Missouri City, with a population of 117,270, sits inside the fast-growing Houston-The Woodlands metro area (2.5+ million) and is experiencing steady development at a rate of about 0.70% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports active landscaping, homebuilding, and outdoor upgrades that frequently require bulk materials. As yards, patios, and foundations are regraded or repaired, homeowners need reliable soil to manage slopes, control erosion, and establish consistent grades. Quality fill dirt matters because low-grade or organic-rich soil can settle, hold moisture, and undermine hardscapes; choosing the right material reduces callbacks and helps projects stay on schedule.Popular Projects in Missouri City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Missouri City Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Missouri City.
Expect a range rather than a single price: delivered fill dirt in the Missouri City/Houston area typically runs about $12 to $22 per ton (roughly $16 to $30 per cubic yard), depending on supplier, truck access, and whether the material is screened. Local site factors like tight access, long haul distance, or short-loads can push costs higher, so get a zip-code specific quote through Hello Gravel for a firm price.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers who deliver fill dirt in Missouri City; many will offer delivery only while some drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion. For full spreading, grading, or compaction services request a local excavator or landscape contractor—Hello Gravel can help arrange material delivery, but spreading and site grading are typically contracted separately.
Use the rule: cubic yards = (square feet x inches of depth) / 324. For example, a 1,000 sq ft yard needs about 9.3 cubic yards to raise 3 inches and about 18.5 cubic yards to raise 6 inches; at roughly 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard that equals about 11 to 26 tons. Always add 5–15% extra for settlement and compaction, and call our team to calculate your exact needs.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grade or filling low spots but is not a recommended final driveway surface in Houston-area clay soils. For driveways and parking pads use a compactable base such as crusher run or crushed stone over engineered fill, proper drainage, and compaction; otherwise you risk rutting, settling, and poor drainage in wet seasons.
Common practice is to place fill dirt in 4–8 inch lifts and compact each lift; smaller areas can be compacted with a plate compactor or jumping jack, while larger areas benefit from a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller for cohesive soils. If the fill supports structures or pavement, ask for compaction targets (for example 90–95% of standard Proctor) and consider a compaction test by a geotechnical engineer.
Possibly. Missouri City requires permits for certain grading and drainage changes, and many HOAs have rules about changing finish grade or visible yard appearance, so check with the City of Missouri City Permits and your HOA before delivering large volumes. Failure to check local rules can result in stop-work orders or requirement to remove material, so confirm requirements early in planning.
Fill dirt is primarily for bulk raising and filling; it often contains more fines and is less angular than crusher run. Crusher run (angular, graded stone with fines) compacts tightly and is the preferred base for driveways and parking pads in Houston’s clay soils, while native clay can be unstable and prone to shrink-swell—use engineered fill and a proper stone base for load-bearing applications.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; standard delivery is typically 2+ business days with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many orders in our network include free delivery, but short-load fees, fuel surcharges, or access fees can apply depending on site conditions and supplier—your checkout quote will show any applicable charges.
Raising low spots with compacted fill dirt can reduce local ponding, but it must be combined with proper grading, outlets, and possibly engineered drainage to be effective. Incorrectly placed fill can make drainage worse or shift runoff to neighbors, so coordinate changes with a drainage plan or a local engineer when addressing significant flood or ponding problems.
Expect some settlement during the first year and plan to add a finish layer of topsoil for lawns or a compacted stone wearing surface for driveways. In heavy rain events check for erosion and regrade or add material as needed; driveways require periodic regrading and topping with crushed stone to maintain a solid surface in Houston’s climate.
Yes, you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion based on safety and equipment—no spreading is guaranteed. For controlled spreading, compaction, or final grading, contract a local excavator or landscaper who can coordinate with your delivery.
Clear an access path wide enough for a tri-axle dump truck, remove low-hanging branches and obstacles, and mark your preferred drop zone with flags or stakes. Make sure the ground can support the truck, warn neighbors if trucks will cross curbs, and note that drivers may place the load from the truck bed so consider protection for existing landscaping or hardscape.
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.
