Why Rowlett Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rowlett, Texas, is a growing community with a population of 59,769 and a steady annual growth rate of 0.40% annually. Situated within a West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million people, Rowlett's climate—228/year sunny days, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b—shapes how homeowners plan outdoor projects. That mix of sun, periodic heavy rain, and ongoing residential development drives demand for dependable aggregates for grading, foundation backfill, drainage correction, and yard regrading. Homeowners seek quality fill dirt because poorly sourced or uncompacted material can lead to settling, erosion, or drainage issues that are costly to fix in this climate. Using the right material from the start helps projects finish on time and reduces the need for rework.Popular Projects in Rowlett This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rowlett Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Rowlett.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Rowlett typically vary by supplier, truck distance, and moisture content. Expect a rough range of about $12 to $28 per ton, or roughly $10 to $25 per cubic yard delivered; exact pricing depends on your zip code, delivery access, and order size. Use our calculator or check your zip code at checkout for a precise quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Rowlett; available vendors vary by zip code. Most suppliers have a minimum order around 3 tons (our platform minimum), and many offer free standard delivery in nearby areas while remote or tight-access jobs can incur extra fees or minimums. If you need a guarantee on minimums or fees, check the quote for your address or contact our team.
Calculate volume as area (sq ft) × depth (ft) ÷ 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by an approximate weight of 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt. For example, a 1,000 sq ft area raised 3 inches (0.25 ft) needs about 9.3 cubic yards, which is roughly 10 to 13 tons; raising the same area 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards, or roughly 20 to 26 tons. Always order an extra 5-10% to allow for compaction and settlement.
Rowlett’s hot summers and locally clayey soils mean native soils can be slow-draining and may expand or shrink with moisture changes. Clean fill dirt compacts well for bulk raising and grading, but clay-heavy fill can hold water and reduce drainage. For areas where drainage or stability matters, use engineered fill or combine fill dirt with granular material and proper grading to direct water away from structures.
Fill dirt is a good, economical option for bulk raising and general grading but is not ideal as the top structural layer for driveways or vehicle traffic. For driveways and building pads, a compacted granular base like crusher-run or crushed stone provides better drainage, load-bearing capacity, and long-term performance. If you must use fill dirt for a pad, specify engineered import and compaction and then cap with a granular base before paving.
Install fill in thin lifts—typically 4 to 6 inches loose—then compact each lift with a plate compactor or vibratory roller to achieve uniform density. Control moisture during placement: too dry or too wet material will not compact properly, so condition the soil as needed. For any structural work, follow engineered specifications and consider having compaction tested by a geotechnical lab.
Local permits may be required if you change grading, alter drainage, or bring in large volumes of fill that affect neighboring properties; Rowlett and county rules vary by project scope. Check with the City of Rowlett Development Services and your homeowner association before placing substantial fill to confirm any grading, erosion control, or stormwater requirements. When in doubt, contact local officials or include permitting questions in your Hello Gravel order notes.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt used for landscaping or grading can be stable for many years, but some settling is normal—most settlement happens in the first several months to a year. For areas receiving vehicle traffic, fill dirt without a granular cap will deteriorate faster; plan to add and maintain a stone or pavement surface for durability. Routine maintenance includes monitoring for settlement, regrading low spots, and repairing erosion after heavy rains.
Fill dirt can be part of an erosion-control solution, but alone it is often prone to surface erosion on slopes, especially during heavy Texas storms. Combine fill dirt with erosion-control measures such as geotextile fabric, terracing, erosion-control blankets, seeding, or riprap depending on slope steepness and drainage. For steeper or sensitive sites, consult a civil engineer or local landscaper for a stabilization plan.
Deliveries in Rowlett typically arrive by tri-axle or tandem dump trucks holding roughly 8 to 14 cubic yards each; large jobs may use multiple truckloads and onsite loaders. Drivers can often tailgate spread at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed—request it at checkout and prepare the drop zone for safe access. For larger or commercial jobs, suppliers may use loaders and compactors; plan site access, overhead clearance, and a clear drop location before delivery.
Clear a path for the truck and mark the preferred drop location with flags or stakes, and note overhead wires, low branches, and any underground utilities. Protect nearby landscaping, walkways, and structures with plywood or boards if the truck will pass close by, and communicate access restrictions or gate codes in your order notes. If you want spreading or specific placement, request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety and feasibility on arrival.
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.
