Why Clute Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Clute has a city population of 14,060 and sits inside a fast-growing West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 2.55% annually, the city’s expanding residential and light commercial projects are driving steady demand for earthwork and site-prep materials. Clute’s climate—228 sunny days a year, annual rainfall of 38.46 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 9a—means homeowners and contractors balance heavy sun with periodic seasonal rain. That combination increases the need for well-graded, locally sourced aggregates to manage drainage, raise or level yards, and create stable bases for patios, driveways, and structures. Homeowners in Clute look for reliable, consistent fill materials to reduce future settling and ensure proper grading when they tackle landscaping or foundation-adjacent work.Popular Projects in Clute This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Clute Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Clute.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel in Clute because it is a mix of subsoil with little to no rock and is used for bulk grade work rather than finished surfaces. Prices vary by local supply and haul distance from West Texas sources, but expect fill dirt to cost noticeably less per cubic yard than decorative or structural gravels. Get a Hello Gravel quote for your zip code to see exact, up-to-date pricing.
Fill dirt is mostly subsoil and fine particles used to raise grade or fill holes, while gravel is crushed rock used for drainage and finished surfaces. Fill dirt compacts but does not provide the drainage or structural interlock that gravel does, so they are used for different purposes on yards and driveways in Clute. If you need a stable, draining surface, use gravel over a compacted base rather than relying on fill dirt alone.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in the Clute area carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, and delivered loads commonly range from roughly $200 to $700 depending on material quality, distance, and current demand. Exact cost depends on local supplier availability in West Texas and any fees for access or placement; Hello Gravel can provide a specific quote for your address. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so check quantity requirements before ordering.
It depends on the depth you need. For 1,000 sq ft: 1 inch depth = about 3.1 cubic yards; 4 inches = about 12.4 cubic yards; 6 inches = about 18.5 cubic yards. Always order 5-10% extra to account for compaction and grading, and ask Hello Gravel for a yardage estimate based on your target finished elevation.
Costs vary, but budget for two parts: preparing and placing compacted fill dirt as the base, then topping with gravel or paving. For a 20-foot long driveway (typical width 10 to 12 feet), expect to need roughly 6 to 20 cubic yards of fill dirt depending on how much raise and compaction are required, plus material and delivery costs and compaction labor. Get a site-specific quote from Hello Gravel and consider contractor bids for grading and compaction to get an accurate total.
You should not place gravel directly over loose, uncompacted fill dirt because the fill will settle and cause the gravel to rut or shift. Proper practice is to remove organic material, place fill in thin lifts, compact each lift, and then install a geotextile and base course if needed before spreading surface gravel. In Clute's coastal soils, compaction and a proper base are especially important to avoid settling and drainage problems.
Fill dirt is not a good material for drainage because it is fine-textured and can hold water; gravel or crushed stone is the right choice for drainage trenches and French drains. If you need to fill a hole but also maintain drainage, put several inches of clean, free-draining gravel at the bottom and then cover with compacted fill dirt if required for grade. Given Clute's sometimes high water table, use gravel where you need water to move away from foundations.
No, compacted fill dirt will become dense and stable but it will not harden like concrete. For structural loads you may need engineered fill, geotextiles, or a compacted stone base and then a paved surface or concrete. Consult a contractor for load-bearing areas; Hello Gravel can supply the right material but structural designs may require an engineer.
No, fill dirt itself does not repel insects and can include organic material that attracts pests if it is not clean or screened. To reduce bugs, use clean, screened fill dirt, remove surface vegetation before placement, compact the material, and avoid leaving loose soil exposed. If pests are a major concern for a garden or foundation area, consider soil treatments or professional pest advice.
No, Texas black gravel is a decorative dark stone used for landscaping and driveways and is very different from fill dirt. Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise grades and fill voids; black gravel is for finished surfaces and drainage. If you want a dark aesthetic on top of a filled area in Clute, place clean fill dirt as the structural base, compact it, and then cover with Texas black gravel as the final layer.
Measure the area and determine the depth you need, mark the delivery spot and any off-limit areas, and call 811 to locate underground utilities before trucks arrive. Clear vegetation and debris from the drop zone, make sure trucks can access the site, and note in your Hello Gravel order if you want tailgate spreading requested (drivers perform it at their discretion). Good site prep speeds delivery and reduces additional fees or delays.
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.
