Why Ranger Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ranger (city population 2,190) sits inside a larger West Texas metro area with a metro area population of 2.3+ million and is experiencing modest growth of 0.43% annually. With 236 sunny days per year, average annual rainfall of 28.74 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8a, Ranger’s semi-arid climate influences how homeowners plan outdoor projects. Ongoing residential updates and new construction in the region increase demand for reliable site materials—grading, foundation backfill, and drainage work all require consistent, compactable materials. Homeowners choose quality aggregates to avoid future settling, erosion, and drainage problems; a well-selected fill material reduces rework and protects landscaping and hardscape investments over time.Popular Projects in Ranger This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ranger Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ranger.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and many areas get free standard delivery, but remote or tight-access jobs in West Texas may incur a delivery or tipping fee (commonly $0-$75 depending on distance and site access). Always check your zip code at checkout and ask our team for any site-specific charges before confirming.
Hello Gravel works with local West Texas suppliers and contracted haulers so your fill dirt will typically be sourced from nearby quarries or borrow pits. Regional sourcing means color, texture, and clay content can vary in the Ranger area, so expect natural variation and note any color preferences in your order notes. If you need a specific soil type or lab-tested material, request details when you order.
Prices vary with supplier and distance, but in the Ranger/West Texas area fill dirt often ranges roughly $10 to $25 per ton or about $12 to $30 per cubic yard. Exact pricing depends on availability, truckload size, and delivery distance, so get a live quote through our site for an accurate price. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and quotes include delivery options and any applicable fees.
For driveway subgrade or slab backfill in Ranger, use low-organic fill dirt with minimal roots and debris; ideally use engineered or granular fill for structural areas. Compact in 4-6 inch lifts using a plate compactor or roller to reach about 90-95% of Standard Proctor density for structural fills; if you are building a driveway, place a layer of road base or crusher run on top of fill dirt for a durable driving surface. For foundation backfill, follow engineer or building department recommendations and consider lab-tested engineered fill where required.
Ranger's hot, dry climate can make fill dirt lose moisture quickly, which reduces compaction effectiveness and can increase long-term settlement. To get proper compaction, material often needs to be slightly moistened before compaction and compacted in thin lifts; overly dry or overly wet soil will not compact well. Account for possible seasonal shrink-swell and avoid using untreated fill dirt as a finished surface where heavy traffic or drainage issues exist.
Calculate volume in cubic yards: length(ft) x width(ft) x depth(ft) / 27 = cubic yards. A good conversion for fill dirt in Ranger is roughly 1 cubic yard = 1.1 to 1.25 tons (use 1.2 tons/yd3 as a practical estimate). For example, a 20 ft x 20 ft area at 6 inches deep is 200 cu ft, or about 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 9 tons of fill dirt.
Permitting rules vary by project type; small landscaping deliveries typically do not require a permit, but importing large volumes for grading, new construction, or altering drainage may trigger city or county permits and inspections. Check with the City of Ranger building department, Eastland County, and any applicable HOA before ordering large loads, and let Hello Gravel know if your project is tied to a building permit so we can note it for delivery planning. If your project involves foundations, septic systems, or stormwater changes, expect inspections or engineered fill requirements.
Fill dirt is not designed as a finished driving surface and will rut, dust, and erode under regular vehicle traffic, especially in hot, dry Ranger conditions. For a durable driveway, install compacted road base or crusher run on top of properly compacted fill dirt; periodic regrading, adding material, and compaction may be needed if you leave dirt as the surface. Well-compacted subgrade with a proper surface can last many years, but untreated fill dirt will require more frequent maintenance.
Fill dirt is primarily for filling and structural backfill; it is typically high in fines and low in organic matter, so it is not suitable as a planting medium or finished driveway surface. Crusher run and road base are crushed rock mixes consolidated for load-bearing surfaces and are a better choice for driveways and paths. Topsoil is for planting and landscaping; choose the material that matches the finished use: fill dirt for bulk fill, road base for driving surfaces, and topsoil for lawns and gardens.
Expect delivery by tri-axle dump trucks; trucks need clear access, sufficient turning radius, and a stable drop location. Mark the desired drop spot, remove obstacles like low branches or parked cars, and note any gate codes or narrow drives in your order notes; if you want spreading, request tailgate spreading at checkout but know the driver will assess safety and may decline. For placement and compaction, plan for a bobcat or skid steer to spread material and a plate compactor or roller to compact, or hire a local landscaper or contractor if you prefer full service.
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.
