Why Throckmorton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Throckmorton is a small West Texas town with a city population of 790, located inside a fast-growing region with a metro area population of 2.5+ million and a growth rate of 1.25% annually. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here face a climate that combines strong sun, occasional heavy rain, and steady development pressures. That mix drives demand for reliable landscaping and site-prep materials—whether raising low yards, backfilling foundations, or regrading driveways—and many Throckmorton homeowners seek quality aggregates that compact well and resist erosion. Fill Dirt is often the first choice when you need to add volume, stabilize grades, and create a consistent subgrade before topsoil or gravel are added.Popular Projects in Throckmorton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Throckmorton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Throckmorton.
Prices vary with local haul distance and supplier, but in West Texas near Throckmorton fill dirt commonly falls in a wide delivered range. Expect to see estimates provided per cubic yard or per ton; contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote after checking your zip code and minimum order (3 tons). We recommend getting a delivery quote because rural mileage from nearby pits can add fees.
For building pads choose screened, compactable fill dirt that is low in organic material and can be placed in lifts for proper compaction. For driveways, pure fill dirt is fine for raising grade but should be capped with road base or crusher run for load-bearing and wear resistance. Ask Hello Gravel for screened fill or compactable mixes available from local suppliers in West Texas.
A 20 ft by 30 ft area (600 sq ft) raised 4 to 6 inches needs about 7.4 to 11.1 cubic yards of material. Using a common conversion of about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt, that equals roughly 8.9 to 13.3 tons. Always order slightly more (5-10%) to account for compaction and cleanup.
Fill dirt can work in Throckmorton but clay-rich native soils in West Texas are prone to shrink-swell, so it is important to use low-organic, compactable fill and proper compaction techniques. For drainage-sensitive areas or building footings, consider engineered fill or a granular layer between clay and the structure, and consult local building codes. In hot, dry climates moisture conditioning during compaction helps achieve stable density.
Yes, Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who can deliver screened fill dirt to Throckmorton when available in our network. Our minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are usually made by tri-axle dump trucks; delivery lead times are typically 2+ business days with next-day available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Rural delivery distance can affect price and availability, so check your zip code for exact details.
For a structural driveway in rural Throckmorton, crusher run or road base is generally a better surface because it compacts tightly and sheds water, reducing rutting. Fill dirt is appropriate for raising grade, filling low spots, and backfill, but it does not provide the same load-bearing or drainage performance as road base. A common approach is to use fill dirt to bring the grade up, then finish with a layer of road base or crushed stone.
A surface of just fill dirt will settle and show ruts over months to a few years, especially under vehicle traffic or after heavy rains; lifespan depends on compaction and use. To extend life, compact in lifts during installation and top with a durable wearing layer like road base or crushed rock; periodic grading and adding material may be needed after storms. For building pads, proper compaction and engineered layers increase longevity and reduce maintenance.
Contractor costs vary, but in small West Texas towns you might see machine work priced by the hour or by the cubic yard; typical labor and equipment rates can range widely so getting local bids is best. Expect mobilization fees for bringing a loader or small excavator, and a machine operator rate plus time for spreading and compaction; Hello Gravel recommends obtaining 2-3 local quotes to compare. Alternatively, request tailgate spreading at checkout and the driver will assess whether they can assist, though this is not guaranteed.
Because Throckmorton is a small West Texas town (population about 790), suppliers are regionally sourced and material characteristics can vary with local geology, so color and texture may differ from photos. Rural deliveries can incur longer haul charges and scheduling windows may be broader, so plan ahead and confirm delivery details when you order. Contact Hello Gravel for help calculating quantities, arranging delivery dates, and noting any access issues at your property.
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.
