Why Morton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Morton is a small but steadily growing West Texas city with a population of 1,790 and ties to a larger metro area of 2.7+ million. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate characterized by 228/year sunny days, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a plant hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners are increasingly investing in outdoor projects that require durable materials. That steady growth and active outdoor lifestyle drive demand for basic site work—grading, foundation backfill, and yard reshaping—where quality aggregates matter. Homeowners choose reliable fill dirt to avoid future settling, improve drainage, and create stable bases for driveways, patios, and raised garden beds in Morton's mix of sun, occasional heavy rain, and variable soils. Fill dirt is clean subsoil used to raise grade and fill voids; in Morton its low-organic composition and good compaction make it well suited for hot, sunny conditions and the region’s 34.25 inches of annual rainfall. Using proper fill dirt helps prevent washouts and reduces shrink-swell under patios and foundations. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers, handling scheduling, regional sourcing, and dump-truck delivery so you get locally appropriate, compactable fill dirt when you need it. Order online, choose your delivery window, and get expert guidance on quantities and placement for Morton's conditions.Popular Projects in Morton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Morton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Morton.
Delivered price for fill dirt in Morton varies with haul distance, order size, and local supply, but in West Texas a typical range is about $8 to $20 per ton delivered. Prices in rural areas like Morton can skew toward the higher end when trucks travel farther; exact pricing is available after you enter your zip code and order details. For an accurate quote, use Hello Gravel's checkout or contact our sales team.
To raise a 50 x 100 foot (5,000 ft^2) lot by 6 inches you need about 625 cubic yards of material before compaction, which equals roughly 750 tons of fill dirt depending on local density. Because densities vary, and West Texas materials can compact differently, we suggest ordering a slight overage (5-10%) and using Hello Gravel's material calculator or contacting our team for a tailored estimate. Keep in mind minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Fill dirt alone is generally not the best final surface for driveways in Morton because the region's clay-rich subgrade can hold moisture and cause rutting and settlement. For a durable driveway, contractors usually place well-compacted fill dirt for grading only, then install a structural base material such as crusher run or crushed stone on top. If you must use fill dirt, plan for substantial compaction, geotextile fabric, and a proper surface layer to reduce maintenance.
Same-day delivery in the Morton area is possible but not common due to rural routing and supplier schedules; most orders are delivered in 2+ business days. Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST where local haulers can accommodate it, and we recommend checking availability for your zip code during checkout. If you need materials urgently, contact our team and we will check local supplier and truck availability for your job site.
Fill dirt used as a driveway base will typically require maintenance sooner than a crushed stone base, especially over Colorado Plateau clay common in West Texas; expect more frequent settling, ruts, and topping every 1-5 years depending on traffic and drainage. Proper compaction, grading for drainage, and a durable surface layer extend life significantly. For long-term performance we recommend a structural base (crusher run) rather than fill dirt as the wearing surface.
For a residential driveway in Morton, choose crusher run (or crushed stone) for the structural base and wearing surface; fill dirt is better suited for raising grade or backfill beneath that base. Crusher run compacts tightly and sheds water better on clay subgrades, reducing maintenance. Use fill dirt underneath only when you need to bring elevations up before installing the proper base.
Fill dirt can compact, but on Morton's clay subgrade it is prone to differential settlement and moisture-related movement; geotextile fabric is often recommended to separate soft clays from added fill and to improve stability. Contractors in West Texas commonly pre-compact the subgrade, bring fill in lifts with compaction between lifts, and add fabric or aggregate layers to reduce long-term settlement. Ask your contractor or Hello Gravel representative about local best practices for your specific site.
Recycled fill dirt can be used for grading and non-structural fills in Morton, and it is often less expensive than virgin material, but quality and consistency vary widely. Recycled material should be screened and tested for contaminants, organics, and adequate compaction properties before use, especially on jobs near foundations or utilities. Always request material descriptions and lab results from the supplier when buying recycled fill dirt through Hello Gravel.
For a shed or patio base in Morton, plan on 4 to 8 inches of properly compacted fill dirt as the leveling and grading layer, topped with a 4-inch compacted crushed stone or gravel pad to resist erosion and provide drainage. If the site is low-lying or subject to sheet flow during storms, increase fill and drainage measures and slope the area away from structures. Proper compaction and edge restraints help keep the base stable during heavy rains.
Permit and soil-testing requirements can vary by project type; for minor grading in Morton you may not need a permit, but for new building foundations or large earthwork you should check with Morton City Hall or the Cochran County permitting office. Many contractors also require soil compaction tests (compaction reports) for structural work; ask your builder or local code officials if tests or permits are required for your specific project. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel and we can point you to local resources and recommend testing options.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
