Why Waco Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Waco homeowners face a region of steady growth and active building: the city population of 126,600 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million support ongoing residential and infrastructure projects. With a growth rate of 0.40% annually and a climate in USDA hardiness zone 8b — including 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches — local projects must account for both warm, dry spells and occasional heavy rain. That combination fuels demand for reliable bulk materials for grading, yard leveling, foundation backfill, and drainage solutions. Homeowners seek quality aggregates because properly selected fill materials reduce settling, improve compaction, and protect landscaping and structures from water intrusion over time.Popular Projects in Waco This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Waco Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Waco.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Waco vary with screening, truck distance, and supplier; expect a broad range depending on market conditions. A reasonable ballpark is to see per-ton prices that differ between screened and unscreened material, plus delivery fees; contact Hello Gravel for current local quotes and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Yes—many Waco-area suppliers offer both screened and unscreened fill dirt and can coordinate delivery. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers; some partners also arrange equipment rental (bobcat, small excavator, loaders) but confirm availability and pricing when you request a quote.
Fill dirt can be used to raise grades or build subgrade but it is not recommended as the final wearing surface for driveways. Over Waco's clay soils you should use properly compacted structural fill, geotextile where needed, and a compactable base material (crusher run or crushed stone) on top to prevent settlement and drainage problems.
For stable results compact fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts using a plate compactor or roller, aiming for industry-standard compaction (typically high relative compaction; contractors often target near 90-95% of standard Proctor). For driveways allow 6-12 inches of well-compacted structural fill, then add 4-6 inches of crusher run or 3-4 inches of crushed stone as the finished base.
Heavy rain can cause erosion and settlement of loose fill while prolonged heat dries out and encourages shrink-swell in clay-rich fills, both increasing the chance of uneven settling. Proper compaction, staging deliveries during dry windows, installing good surface drainage, and using appropriate base materials will reduce maintenance and extend performance.
Fill dirt is mostly fines and is good for raising grades and backfill but poor as a surface material because it sheds water slowly and can rut. Crusher run and limestone screenings are angular, compactable aggregates that make better structural bases and wearing surfaces for driveways and improve load-bearing and drainage when used over compacted subgrade.
Possibly—large fills or changes that alter drainage may trigger permits from the City of Waco or McLennan County, and many HOAs have rules about changing elevations or visible soil work. Before ordering, check with your local permitting office and your HOA; if unsure, Hello Gravel can help point you toward local resources.
First calculate volume in cubic yards: area (ft2) x depth (ft) divided by 27. Convert to tons using a local estimate for fill dirt density (roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard; use 1.3 as a simple rule). For example, raising a 20x30 ft area by 3 inches = (20x30x0.25)/27 = about 5.6 cu yd, which is roughly 7.2 tons using 1.3 tons/cu yd.
Many suppliers in the Waco area offer both screened (fewer rocks and debris) and unscreened fill dirt; screened material costs more because of additional processing. Price differences vary by supplier and job size, so ask for both options when requesting quotes and note that screened material is easier to compact and place for landscape finish work.
Common issues include tight access, narrow driveways, overhead wires, setbacks and easement restrictions, and limited space for dump trucks to maneuver. Waco deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck (minimum orders often apply), so confirm access, mark a clear drop zone, call 811 to locate utilities, and discuss placement or spreading needs with your Hello Gravel delivery coordinator before scheduling.
Clear vegetation and obstacles from the intended drop zone, mark underground utilities by calling 811, and ensure the driver has a safe place to dump with proper turning room and no low-hanging wires. Add delivery notes (preferred drop location, access gates) in your Hello Gravel order and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to attempt limited spreading, keeping in mind this is at the driver's discretion.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
