Why Harker Heights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Harker Heights has a city population of 29,600 and sits within a metro area population of 2.5+ million, a community growing at a rate of 1.80% annually. Located in West Texas with a hardiness zone of 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and 34.02 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners here are investing in both new construction and yard upgrades that need reliable earthwork materials. That steady growth and sunny, sometimes intense weather create demand for projects like grading, garage pads, raised beds, and drainage corrections—projects where quality Fill Dirt matters. Homeowners choose dependable fill for proper compaction, erosion control, and to provide a stable base for patios, driveways, and foundations, especially when local soils reflect regional geological variation.Popular Projects in Harker Heights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Harker Heights Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Harker Heights.
Delivery costs vary by supplier, order size, and exact delivery location in Harker Heights. Hello Gravel typically requires a 3-ton minimum and often offers free delivery for many orders, while small orders or next-day service may incur additional fees. The best way to get an accurate price is to enter your zip code on our site or call for a local quote that includes any hauling or minimum-delivery charges.
For bulk raising or grading, a clean, low-organic fill dirt with some clay content compacts well in West Texas heat. However, for a driveway base we recommend using compacted fill dirt only as a subgrade and capping it with crushed stone or crushed limestone to provide drainage and a stable driving surface.
Multiply the area (feet) by the desired depth (feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, and then convert cubic yards to tons. As a rule of thumb use about 1.1 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt (varies with moisture and compaction); for example, a 20 ft by 10 ft area at 6 inches deep is 100 ft2 x 0.5 ft = 50 cu ft ÷ 27 ≈ 1.85 cu yd, or roughly 2–3 tons.
For non-structural grading, contractors typically compact fill dirt in 6–8 inch lifts to a firm condition; for structural work (pads, footings) many projects require 90–95% Proctor compaction and testing. Compaction is usually a separate service and will add labor and equipment costs, so ask local contractors for quotes and any testing requirements before you order material.
Permitting depends on the work: septic tank and drainfield work almost always require permits and inspections, and significant lot grading or regrading may need city or county approval. Contact the Harker Heights Building and Planning Department or Bell County permitting office to confirm before placing orders for fill dirt used in these applications.
Fill dirt alone tends to settle over time and is not a durable surface for vehicle traffic without a proper crushed-stone cap, so longevity depends on preparation and surfacing. Expect to inspect after heavy rains and do occasional regrading or add more aggregate; with a proper crushed-stone cap and compaction, maintenance needs are much lower.
Use fill dirt for bulk elevation and grading where you need to build up ground level, but choose crushed limestone or crushed stone for the driveway base because those materials provide load-bearing capacity and drainage. Clean fill (free of organics and debris) is useful for structural backfill but is not a substitute for a properly engineered driveway base.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving Harker Heights and nearby towns (such as Belton); typical minimums on our platform start at 3 tons, and most deliveries arrive on tri-axle dump trucks. For large-volume needs, ask about truck sizes and volume discounts when you request a quote through our site.
Fill dirt by itself is not an effective long-term erosion control solution on slopes because loose fines can wash away in heavy rain. Combine fill dirt with stabilization measures—topsoil and vegetation, erosion-control matting, terracing, riprap, or engineered solutions—to hold slope material in place and reduce runoff in West Texas storms.
Yes: hot, dry summer conditions can make fill dirt dusty and harder to compact, while heavy rains can make deliveries muddy and difficult to work with. Schedule deliveries with local weather in mind, ask suppliers about moisture content if compaction is required, and note that tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion and may not be suitable in extreme conditions.
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.
