Why Nederland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Nederland is a growing West Texas city with a city population of 20,590 and sits within a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a measured growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and a hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners see steady demand for grading, drainage, and foundation work as properties evolve. Annual rainfall of 34.25 inches supports regular landscaping and construction activity without extreme wet-season delays, so projects that need reliable base material—like driveway build-up, foundation backfill, and lot leveling—are common. Homeowners look for consistent, regional materials that compact well and resist erosion under sun and periodic rain, which makes quality fill dirt a frequent choice for site preparation.Popular Projects in Nederland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Nederland Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Nederland.
Prices vary with supplier, screening, haul distance, and truck access. As a ballpark range for Nederland in 2025, delivered fill dirt commonly runs about $12 to $30 per ton, or roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard for loose, unscreened material; screened or select fill is toward the higher end. For an exact quote for your zip code and delivery date, check pricing on Hello Gravel or contact our team.
Hello Gravel partners with local aggregate yards, landscape suppliers, demolition companies, and independent haulers that service Nederland and Jefferson County. Request screened vs unscreened material and optional tailgate spreading at checkout; spreading is done at the driver's discretion and may incur an extra fee. If you need specific company names or spreading confirmed, we can check availability for your zip code and project details.
For raising yard grade, use clean, low-organic fill (often called select or screened fill) that compacts well and contains minimal roots or debris. For driveways, fill dirt should be capped with a structural base like crusher run or 3/4" minus crushed stone to provide drainage and strength rather than relying on raw fill dirt as the wearing surface. For erosion control, fill dirt alone is usually not enough—combine it with engineered soils, geotextile, vegetation, or rock armoring depending on slope and water flow.
Calculate volume first: 1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cubic feet, which is about 18.5 cubic yards. Expect material needs to vary with compaction and settlement; plan on roughly 20 to 25 cubic yards loose to allow for compaction and trimming, which typically equals about 25 to 35 tons depending on soil density. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or request a quote with your exact area and desired finished grade for a more precise number.
Performance depends on the soil type: clayey fill can hold water and expand, while sandy or gravelly fill drains well. In Nederland's humid, storm-prone climate you should compact fill in lifts, provide positive grading away from structures, install swales or French drains where needed, and cap fill with permeable material (topsoil and turf or gravel) to reduce erosion. For low-lying or flood-prone lots, check elevation and consider engineered fill and civil drainage plans rather than simple imports of fill dirt.
Possibly. Large fills, changes to drainage, or work in regulated areas (floodplain, wetlands, or near rights-of-way) often trigger city or county permits and inspections. Contact the City of Nederland planning or public works office and Jefferson County permitting before you start, and check HOA rules if applicable; Hello Gravel can help confirm whether local permitting is typically required for your project size.
Fill dirt is usually the least expensive option and is best for bulk raising of grade, but it drains poorly compared with gravel and compacts into a firm mass that can hold water if it is clay-rich. Crusher run and 3/4" base are designed as structural layers for driveways and paths, offering much better drainage and load-bearing capacity at higher cost. Washed gravel drains best and requires less maintenance on surfaces; sand drains quickly but shifts easily and is not an ideal structural base.
Expect initial settlement over the first several months to a year, especially where organic material or loose fills are used; low spots may need topping or regrading after heavy rains. For yard raises capped with topsoil and vegetation, routine maintenance is like new lawn areas—fill or regrade small depressions as they appear. For driveways or heavily used areas, plan to add or refresh structural base and surface gravel every few years depending on traffic and drainage.
Hello Gravel typically schedules dump trucks such as tri-axles for residential deliveries; a tri-axle commonly carries about 12 to 20 cubic yards loose depending on material and roughly 12 to 20 tons. Small jobs may be split across multiple trucks or require end-dumps depending on access, and minimum orders start at 3 tons. Provide good drop locations, keep driveways clear, and indicate any overhead or gate constraints at checkout to ensure smooth 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.
