Why Sunset Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sunset has a city population of 2,420 and sits inside a growing West Texas metro area with a metro area population of 2.4+ million. With a growth rate of 1.54% annually, steady residential development and landscape upgrades are common as homeowners adapt yards for xeriscaping, drainage, and outdoor living. Sunset's climate (220/year sunny days, hardiness zone 8a) combined with an annual rainfall of 38.50 inches creates conditions where proper grading and stable fill are important to control runoff and prevent erosion. Homeowners are seeking reliable, low-organic fill materials to raise low spots, build pads for sheds and patios, and create consistent slopes for drainage without long-term settling problems.Popular Projects in Sunset This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunset Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Sunset.
Local delivered prices for fill dirt in West Texas commonly range from about $12 to $30 per ton, depending on distance from the pit, material quality, and any delivery fees. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and regional pricing can vary, so contact us or check your zip code for an exact quote. Prices may increase for next-day delivery, long trucks, or difficult access sites.
For West Texas conditions, a well-graded fill dirt with lower percentages of active clay and some coarse particles (sand or small gravel) performs best to reduce shrink-swell problems. For critical work near foundations or structures, use select or engineered fill specified by an engineer; for simple grade-raising, ask suppliers for ‘‘select’’ or ‘‘structural’’ fill rather than topsoil. Regional variations apply, so note any color or texture preferences in Order Notes.
Compact fill dirt in 4 to 6 inch lifts using a plate compactor for small jobs or a vibratory roller for larger areas, aiming for roughly 90% relative compaction where a firm base is required. Keep the material slightly moist (not wet) during compaction to get the best density and avoid lumps of caliche that may not compact uniformly. For structural bases or building pads, get a geotechnical recommendation before placing fill.
Raising 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches is about 500 cubic feet, or roughly 18.5 cubic yards, which converts to about 22 to 26 tons of fill dirt depending on soil density. This is an estimate; factors like soil type, compaction, and moisture change the final weight, so add 5 to 10 percent for waste and settling. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum delivery.
Fill dirt alone can be slow-draining, especially if it has high clay content, which can cause puddling during monsoon events. For reliable drainage, grade the site away from structures (minimum 1-2% slope), add drainage features like swales or French drains, and use a free-draining base (crushed stone or gravel) under high-traffic areas. Selecting a coarser fill or blending with sand/grit improves runoff management in West Texas storms.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Sunset and the West Texas region; availability depends on your zip code. For a quote, delivery window, and supplier options, check our site or contact our team at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734. We coordinate the pickup and delivery but trucks are operated by local partners.
Permit and HOA rules vary; small deliveries for landscaping usually do not require permits, but large fills, changes to drainage, or grading near property lines often do. Contact the City of Sunset planning department and your HOA before starting major fill work to check for grading permits, erosion control, or setback requirements. If you need documentation for permitting, ask Hello Gravel for delivery receipts and supplied material descriptions.
Crusher run (crushed stone with fines) is generally a better base for driveways and parking pads because it compacts well and sheds water. Fill dirt is appropriate for raising yard grades, backfill, or non-traffic areas, but it can rut and hold water if used as a surface driving layer. In West Texas you may also see caliche used as a base; discuss your intended use with our team so we can suggest the right material mix.
Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Hello Gravel uses local dump truck fleets (usually tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout but that service is not guaranteed. Include notes about access, driveway slope, and placement location to help the driver deliver safely and efficiently.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
