Why Vernon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Vernon, with a city population of 10,287, sits inside a growing West Texas metro of 2.3+ million people that is expanding about 2.50% annually. The local climate—224 sunny days each year and 34.00 inches of rain—combined with hardiness zone 8b, encourages outdoor landscaping, new construction, and property improvements that require reliable site work. That steady growth and largely dry, sun-forward weather mean homeowners and local contractors are frequently preparing yards, raising grades, and improving drainage to protect foundations and hardscapes. For these tasks, consistent, low-organic fill material matters: the right fill dirt helps achieve proper compaction, reduces future settling, and directs stormwater away from structures. In Vernon, where soils and geology vary across short distances, sourcing locally matched aggregates reduces surprises during grading and speeds project timelines.Popular Projects in Vernon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Vernon Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Vernon.
In Vernon, fill dirt typically ranges from about $10 to $25 per ton delivered, depending on supplier, truck access, and whether the material contains rock or caliche. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and final price may vary by zip code, delivery distance, and any required off-loading services. Request a quote at checkout to get a firm, location-specific price.
No. "Texas black" and other decorative gravels are crushed rock used for driveways and landscaping, while fill dirt is mostly subsoil used to raise grades or backfill trenches. If you need a finished surface or planting medium, choose topsoil or decorative gravel instead of fill dirt.
Yes. Fill dirt is usually cheaper than topsoil because it has little to no organic matter and is used for structural fill rather than planting. For lawns or gardens in Vernon, plan to add a layer of topsoil (4-6 inches) over fill dirt to support plants.
Coverage depends on truck size and desired fill depth. A typical tri-axle truck delivers about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 15 tons), which covers about 810 sq ft at 4 inches deep or about 540 sq ft at 6 inches deep. If you need a different depth, use our material calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate.
Multiply the per-ton price by the truck load weight. For example, if a tri-axle carries 12 tons and fill dirt is $15 per ton, the delivered load would be about $180 before any delivery fees. Hello Gravel will show the exact delivered price in checkout based on your address and chosen delivery options.
No, fill dirt will not harden like concrete. Properly compacted fill dirt will become firm, and some West Texas soils with caliche or high clay content can form a hard crust when dry, but they do not gain the strength or stability of cured concrete. If you need a hard, paved surface, use concrete or compacted crushed stone base designed for that use.
Yes, regional fill dirt in Vernon often contains a mix of subsoil, clay, and small to moderate-sized rock or caliche fragments depending on the source. If you need screened, rock-free material, request screened fill or topsoil in the order notes and we can try to match your preference where available. Expect natural variation due to local geology.
Yes, compaction is important for structural fills and backfills. In Vernon and other West Texas areas, compact in 4 to 8-inch lifts using a plate compactor or roller, and add moisture as needed to reach proper density; contractors may specify compaction requirements for foundations or utilities. Hello Gravel drivers can drop material but will not guarantee compaction services; contact a local contractor for compaction work.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grade but not suitable as the final planting layer because it lacks nutrients and organic matter. After placing and compacting fill dirt, add 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or blended soil for lawns and gardens to ensure good drainage and plant health in Vernon’s climate. If you want, note planting needs in your order and our team can suggest appropriate soil blends.

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.
