Why Sealy Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sealy sits in West Texas with a municipal population of 14,200 and steady growth at 0.70% annually. The local climate—233 sunny days per year and 38.15 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b—shapes how homeowners build and landscape. As yards and lots are graded for new driveways, raised garden beds, or home additions, demand for dependable base materials rises. Homeowners in Sealy look for quality aggregates to control drainage, prevent erosion during heavy rains, and create stable foundations for patios, sheds, and retaining walls. Clear, locally sourced materials reduce surprises on delivery day and help projects move from planning to completion with fewer delays and rework.Popular Projects in Sealy This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sealy Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Sealy.
Fill dirt is native-like soil used to raise or level ground where structural strength is not required. In Sealy you would use it for building up low spots, creating non-structural yards, raising lawn grades, or backfilling around utilities. It is not a finished surface, so it is usually capped with topsoil, gravel, or pavement depending on the project.
Delivered prices vary by supplier, distance, and availability, but most Sealy customers see fill dirt in the range of about $10 to $30 per ton delivered. Final price depends on hauler fees, truck access, and whether the material is screened or contains large clods. For a precise delivered price, check Hello Gravel with your zip code or request a local quote.
Local fill dirt usually comes from nearby borrow pits, on-site excavation, or sand/clay pits operated by regional suppliers. Some suppliers also use recycled soils from construction sites, but availability depends on the supplier and seasonal demand. Expect material characteristics to reflect local geology around Sealy, so color and texture can vary.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons; typical delivery trucks are tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10 to 14 tons depending on load. Delivery fees vary by distance, road access, and local supplier; many areas offer free delivery while next-day service and difficult access can add fees. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion.
Sealy’s warm summers and periodic heavy rains can increase shrink-swell and erosion risk in unprotected fills, especially where local soils contain clay. Fill dirt that is not compacted or well-drained can settle, puddle, and wash away after storms. Plan for good drainage, erosion control, and proper compaction to improve long-term performance in Sealy’s conditions.
Measure the area (length x width) and desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by a conversion factor of about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for typical loose fill dirt to get tons needed (adjust slightly for very sandy or heavy clays). Example: a 100 ft x 12 ft driveway with 4 inches (0.33 ft) of fill is 100*12*0.33 = 396 ft3 = 14.7 cy x 1.2 = about 18 tons.
Use mechanical compaction (plate compactor for thin lifts, vibratory roller for larger areas) and place fill in 4-6 inch lifts to get good density. Contractors commonly aim for 90% to 95% of maximum dry density for driveways and building pads; less-critical landscape fills may be acceptable at lower levels. If the area will support structures, have a geotechnical or site engineer specify target compaction and testing requirements.
Alternatives include crushed limestone, road base, and engineered structural fill. Crushed limestone or road base are better for driveways and high-traffic surfaces because they drain and compact reliably, while engineered structural fill is specified for load-bearing pads. Use plain fill dirt for non-structural grade adjustments and choose stronger, well-graded materials where compaction, drainage, or load support matters.
Large fills may require local permits, erosion control plans, or stormwater management measures, especially for commercial sites or large residential regrades. Trucking routes, road weight limits, and offloading in the public right-of-way are regulated by Austin County and the City of Sealy, so check local rules before delivery. If you are unsure, contact Hello Gravel or your local permitting office to confirm any requirements.
Common issues are settling, rutting, washout after heavy rains, and vegetation establishment problems if organic material is present. Regular regrading after storms, adding topsoil and seed, or surfacing with gravel/pavement reduces these problems. Proper initial compaction and drainage design significantly lower long-term maintenance needs.
Contractors want clean, low-organic fill with minimal debris, consistent texture, and predictable compaction behavior. Typical preferences are minimal large rocks, few to no roots or trash, and moisture-stable material; some contractors will request a percent-fines or particle-size statement for larger jobs. For critical projects, ask suppliers for material specifications or request engineered/approved fill that meets your contractor's criteria.
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.
