Why Stephenville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Stephenville, with a city population of 22,313 and a growth rate of 0.64% annually, is experiencing steady residential and small commercial build-out that increases local demand for bulk materials. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.21 inches of rainfall per year, and USDA hardiness zone 8a—means homeowners balance drought-tolerant plantings with occasional heavy rain events, so proper grading and stable soils are important. From leveling yards and raising low spots to backfilling foundations and trenches, consistent, well-graded fill material helps prevent settling, erosion, and drainage problems. For many Stephenville projects, sourcing predictable, regionally appropriate fill dirt is a key step to durable results. Fill Dirt is typically compactable subsoil with minimal organic content used to build grade and stabilize foundations, and it fits many local needs in Stephenville’s semi-arid environment. Because the area sees 34.21 inches of rainfall per year, placing fill dirt in thin lifts, compacting each layer, and grading to move water away from structures helps reduce settling and puddling. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and haulers who source fill dirt that reflects regional geology, offers delivery via dump truck with a 3 tons minimum, standard delivery in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver’s discretion.Popular Projects in Stephenville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Stephenville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Stephenville.
Typical delivered prices for fill dirt in Stephenville (West Texas) vary by supplier, haul distance, and order size. Expect a rough range of about $10 to $30 per ton (approximately $7 to $22 per cubic yard) for standard fill dirt; larger orders and local discounts can push the unit price lower. Contact our team for current, zip-code-specific pricing and any delivery fees.
Yes—local Stephenville contractors and earthwork crews routinely install and compact fill dirt for drives, pads, and grading. Typical rates vary: many contractors charge roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard installed (including compaction) or $50 to $90 per hour for equipment and operator time, depending on scope and access. Get several quotes and ask whether compaction testing or engineered fills are included.
For Stephenville's hot, dry climate, choose clean, low-organic fill that drains but still compacts—sandy clay or select fill with minimal organic material is common. Avoid topsoil or high-organic mixes for structural fills; for driveways and backfill, use fill placed and compacted in thin lifts (4 to 8 inches) and capped with a crushed stone base for drainage and load support. If the fill is for structural foundation support, ask for engineered or tested fill from your supplier.
A quick rule: one cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, and fill dirt commonly weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard in place. Example: to raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches requires about 18.5 cubic yards, or roughly 22 to 28 tons of fill dirt. Use our material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a precise estimate.
Permitting depends on the scope: minor deliveries and site grading usually do not require a City permit, but larger grading, changes to drainage, or land-disturbing activity often require approval from the City of Stephenville or Erath County. Before major deliveries or regrading, check with Stephenville Development Services or the County office to confirm permit needs and any erosion-control requirements. If you need help, our team can point you to local contacts.
In hot, dry West Texas, fill dirt is stable when properly compacted, but prolonged heat can dry and shrink clay-rich fills and heavy rains can cause erosion or washouts on exposed slopes. To reduce issues, compact in lifts, provide temporary drainage, add gravel or a crushed stone cap for traffic areas, and consider slopes and erosion control for open piles. For problem soils, stabilization (lime, cement, or mechanical) and proper grading are recommended.
Deliveries to Stephenville are usually by tri-axle dump trucks carrying about 10 to 12 cubic yards; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Extra charges may apply for long haul distances, off-road dumping, narrow or steep driveways, or delivery outside city limits—these fees commonly range from a modest surcharge to $25-$150 depending on access and distance. During checkout you can add delivery notes and our team will confirm any extra fees.
For a driveway that sees vehicle traffic, crushed limestone or engineered road base is generally a better choice because it compacts to a stable, load-bearing surface and provides good drainage. Fill dirt is appropriate for raising grade or leveling, but it should be capped with road base or crushed stone before regular vehicle use to prevent rutting and erosion. Combining both—fill for grade, road base for the driving surface—is common in West Texas.
Some local suppliers and earthwork contractors around Stephenville offer compaction testing and can supply engineered fill on request, but this is not universal. If you need certified compaction tests or engineered specifications for foundation work, ask the supplier or contractor in advance so they can coordinate a soils engineer or testing lab. Hello Gravel can help connect you to local providers who offer testing and engineering services.
To maintain a fill dirt surface under heavy truck traffic, compact the material in lifts during installation, add a 3-6 inch crushed stone or road-base wearing surface, and keep a slight crown for water runoff. Periodically regrade low spots, repair washouts after heavy rains, and address drainage so water does not concentrate on the surface. Consider routine inspections and adding fresh material where ruts form to prolong the surface life.
Typical tri-axle dump trucks used in Stephenville carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards, depending on the material and truck configuration. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and the checkout system will show recommended truck sizes and allow you to choose a delivery date. If you need an exact truck size or offloading instructions, include those details in Order Notes at checkout.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
