Why Montgomery Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Montgomery is a growing West Texas city of 67,500, located inside a metro area of 2.5+ million people. With a steady annual growth rate of 1.00% and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall, outdoor projects run year-round in hardiness zone 8b. That steady growth and favorable weather are driving demand for residential upgrades, grading, and drainage work across both new builds and established neighborhoods. Homeowners and contractors in Montgomery seek quality aggregates because consistent fill material reduces settlement, improves drainage, and speeds project timelines — all critical when working with the region’s mix of native soils and periodic heavy rains.Popular Projects in Montgomery This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Montgomery Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Montgomery.
Local retail prices for fill dirt in Montgomery, TX typically vary based on source, quality, and delivery distance; expect a broad range and check your zip code for exact pricing. Hello Gravel lists per-ton and per-yard pricing during checkout and often includes free delivery in many areas; heavier deliveries, specialty screened fill, or long hauls will increase cost. Regional sourcing means material color and texture reflect local geology, so request photos or notes at checkout if appearance matters.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; deliveries are usually made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Tri-axle trucks commonly carry multiple tons — your checkout will show how many tons or yards a single truckload will deliver and whether multiple truckloads are needed based on your order and access. Delivery fees depend on distance, site access, and whether you request next-day service or tailgate spreading.
Next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST and may carry an extra fee; standard delivery generally requires 2+ business days. Availability depends on local supplier and truck schedules in the Montgomery area, so choose your preferred date during checkout and call our team if you need a specific delivery window. Tailgate spreading can be requested but is done at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed.
Permit and compaction requirements vary by project type and location inside Montgomery County and the City of Montgomery, so check with your local building or planning department before starting. Structural work (garage pads, building fills, and some driveways) often requires engineered fill and compaction reports; simple yard grading usually does not. If you are unsure, contact the county or our sales team for guidance and consider hiring a local civil engineer or contractor to confirm requirements.
Fill dirt is useful for raising grades or filling low spots but is not ideal as an exposed driveway surface because it can compact poorly, wash out in heavy rains, and retain moisture in Montgomery's humid climate. For driveways or base layers, we recommend using clean, well-graded base materials (crushed stone or gravel) over compacted fill dirt to improve drainage and load-bearing capacity. Add proper drainage (swales, French drains) and geotextile fabric on slopes to reduce erosion and settlement during flash floods.
Good practice is to place fill dirt in thin lifts (generally 6 to 12 inches), control moisture, and compact each lift to industry standards—many projects target 90% to 95% of standard Proctor density for structural fills. Use the right equipment for the job: plate or rammer compactors for small areas and rollers or vibratory compactors for larger fills. Ask your contractor for a compaction plan and proof (field density tests) for structural or permit-required work.
Costs vary by scope and local market; small homeowner jobs often run on an hourly or per-yard basis, while larger jobs are quoted as a lump sum. Expect to pay for labor, hauling, spreading, and compaction—local contractors in the Montgomery area may charge varying rates, so get at least two written quotes. Hello Gravel can connect you to local suppliers and contractors, but we recommend confirming scope (site prep, grading, compaction testing) before hiring.
To estimate, calculate area x depth: for example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need 1,000 x 0.5 = 500 cubic feet, which equals about 18.5 cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard; using 1.3 tons/yd3, 18.5 yd3 is about 24 tons. Always round up to allow for compaction and settling and check your exact material density with your supplier.
Common problems include settlement from inadequate compaction, washouts during heavy rain events, poor drainage causing standing water, and erosion on slopes. Regular maintenance includes monitoring for low spots, regrading and adding material where needed, and ensuring surface drainage directs water away from the fill. For high-traffic areas, cover compacted fill with a crushed-stone base and proper surfacing to extend life and reduce maintenance.
Use fill dirt for raising grades where structural support and bulk volume are the priority; it is low in organic matter and not ideal for planting without amending. For planting areas or lawns, place a layer of quality topsoil or amended soil (4 to 6 inches) over compacted fill dirt to support plant growth. If you need both bulk fill and planting, order fill dirt for the bulk and topsoil for the growing surface.
Some settlement occurs quickly after placement and compaction, but additional consolidation can continue over months to years, especially in wetter parts of Montgomery County. Proper compaction in lifts, correct moisture content at placement, and installing adequate drainage will reduce long-term settlement and speed stabilization. For critical structures, allow time for settlement and consider engineered fill design or preloading if fast stabilization is required.

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.
