Why Timpson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Timpson has a city population of 2,960 and sits within a broader West Texas metro area of 2.7+ million. The area is growing steadily with a growth rate of 0.70% annually, and its climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—shapes local landscaping and construction needs. Homeowners and small contractors in Timpson frequently face grading, drainage, and lot-raising projects as properties are improved or expanded. That steady regional growth, combined with the local mix of urban and rural lots, creates consistent demand for reliable aggregates. For many projects, quality Fill Dirt is essential for building stable grades, backfilling foundations, preparing bases for driveways, and correcting low spots before planting or putting in hardscape features.Popular Projects in Timpson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Timpson Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Timpson.
Typical retail fill dirt prices in the Timpson area usually fall in a range rather than a single number. Expect roughly $8 to $18 per ton or about $12 to $35 per cubic yard depending on moisture, screening, and local supply. Delivery fees vary by distance and truck type; Hello Gravel shows final pricing after you enter your zip code and product selection.
Local suppliers near Timpson commonly offer loose fill dirt, screened fill, and structural or engineered fill (for compaction). Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and many suppliers set similar minimums; delivery fees depend on distance, truck access, and site conditions. You can view available grades, minimums, and delivery costs for your address on our checkout or by contacting our team.
Timpson’s hot summers and locally clay-rich soils make fill dirt prone to drying, shrinking, and becoming hard or cracking, while heavy rain events can cause soft spots and slow drainage. Clay in the native soils can hold water and reduce stability unless the material is properly compacted and blended with better-draining layers. For best results, compact fill in lifts and consider adding a granular layer or geotextile where drainage and load bearing matter.
Fill dirt should be placed in lifts of 4 to 6 inches and compacted thoroughly with each lift; contractors typically target 90% to 95% of standard Proctor density for structural work. For a 2-car driveway, most contractors use fill dirt only to raise grade then install 6 to 12 inches of compacted roadbase or crushed stone as the structural base. If you plan concrete or asphalt, follow your contractor’s specific compaction tests and local code requirements.
Use the volume formula: area x depth / 27 to convert to cubic yards. For 1,000 sq ft raised 6 inches (0.5 ft): 1,000 x 0.5 / 27 = about 18.5 cubic yards. Fill dirt density varies, but using a common conversion of about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, you would need roughly 22 to 28 tons; verify the supplier’s local conversion factor when ordering.
Yes. Heavy rains and muddy conditions can delay deliveries, trigger road or weight restrictions, and increase hauling difficulty, which may raise delivery fees or lead times. Demand and price can also fluctuate seasonally—spring and fall are busier for landscaping and construction. Hello Gravel allows you to choose delivery dates and provides lead-time estimates for your area.
Fill dirt is generally less expensive but provides poor drainage and limited load-bearing capacity compared with crushed limestone or roadbase. Crushed limestone or roadbase offers better compaction, drainage, and long-term stability for driveways and is the recommended structural layer. In Timpson, a common approach is to use fill dirt to raise grade only, then install a thick compacted layer of roadbase or crushed stone for the driveway surface or base.
Often you do not need a permit just to receive fill dirt, but significant grading or changes to drainage may require county permits or inspections. If you live in an HOA, restrictive covenants may require approval before changing driveway material or altering grade. Check with Shelby County planning and your HOA early to avoid delays or required remediation.
Contractors in the Timpson area commonly offer workmanship or installation warranties for a limited period, but warranties on the material itself are rare. Compaction guarantees are sometimes provided as part of a contract or when a compaction test is specified, but specifics vary by contractor. If you need performance guarantees, ask for written terms and compaction test results before work starts.
Budget for excavation, machine time for placing and compacting the fill, rental or contractor fees for compaction equipment, and hauling beyond standard delivery distances. Other common costs include disposal of unsuitable soil, geotextile fabric, survey or permit fees, erosion control, and installing a structural base (rock) for driveways or pads. Ask Hello Gravel for all-in pricing and consult your contractor for a detailed site-specific estimate.

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.
