Why Bridge City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bridge City has a population of 9,100 and sits inside a growing West Texas metro with a metro area population of 2.7+ million, expanding at a steady rate of 0.70% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall: 34.25 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners regularly tackle yard grading, drainage fixes, and foundation prep to protect properties from both summer sun and seasonal storms. That steady regional growth and weather-driven yard work create recurring demand for reliable aggregates, so homeowners look for consistent, clean materials that compact well and help control erosion and water flow around driveways, patios, and foundation perimeters. Fill Dirt is a practical, cost-effective choice for raising grades, filling low spots, and preparing subgrades in Bridge City’s climate. Clean, compactable fill dirt helps shed water away from structures during the region’s 34.25-inch annual rainfall while standing up to the dry, sunny conditions for much of the year. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source materials that reflect Bridge City’s geology, schedules deliveries on your timeline, and coordinates professional dump-truck delivery so you get the right quantity and quality of fill dirt without the usual hassle.Popular Projects in Bridge City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bridge City Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bridge City.
Fill dirt is plain earth used to raise or level ground; it usually contains a mix of clay, silt, and small rock and is not screened for topsoil quality. In Bridge City, use fill dirt to build up low spots, backfill around foundations, or create basic grade before a final surface is added. It is not a finish landscape topsoil or a structural driveway base by itself.
Delivered prices vary by source, screening, and distance, but expect a typical range of about $10 to $35 per ton for fill dirt serving Bridge City. Final price depends on supplier, whether the material is screened, delivery distance, and order size; longer hauls from outside the region increase cost. Use our quote tool for an exact delivered price to your zip code.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and most residential deliveries arrive by tri-axle dump truck. Tri-axles commonly carry roughly 12 to 16 cubic yards (depending on material), which translates to about a dozen to twenty tons for fill dirt; exact capacity varies by truck and local weight limits. If you need less than a truckload, arrange placement with the driver or consider a smaller local hauler.
Fill dirt alone is not ideal as a driveway structural base; contractors usually replace or cap it with a well-graded granular base or crushed stone. If you must use fill dirt to raise grade first, specify placement in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compaction to about 90-95% of Standard Proctor with proper moisture conditioning. For driveways in Bridge City’s clay-prone soils, finalize with 4 inches or more of compacted road base or crushed stone designed for traffic loads.
High humidity and heavy rain events in the Bridge City area can cause softening, erosion, and differential settlement in unconsolidated fill dirt, especially over expansive clays. Proper compaction, drainage improvements, and erosion controls (silt fences, temporary cover) reduce settlement and washout risks. Plan for initial consolidation and monitor low spots during the first rainy seasons.
Standard delivery times are typically 2+ business days, with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST; quarry stock and hauling capacity affect availability. Seasonal peaks (spring landscaping, post-storm rebuilding, and hurricane season) can extend lead times or require sourcing from farther away, so order earlier for large projects. We recommend checking availability and booking delivery dates in advance during high-demand periods.
Screened fill dirt has large clods and debris removed, giving a more uniform material that is easier to grade and compact; it is a better choice when final grading or seeding will be done. Unscreened fill dirt is cheaper and fine for bulk mass fill where finish appearance and fine grading are not important. If the area will be landscaped or paved, ask for screened material or plan to cap it with topsoil or gravel.
Permit requirements vary by scope: small residential deliveries for minor yard grading often do not need a permit, but substantial changes to elevation, drainage, or grading typically trigger city or county review. Check with Bridge City Building and Permits or Orange County before major fills, especially if work affects stormwater flow, property lines, or floodplain elevations. When in doubt, contact local authorities early and keep delivery documentation.
Calculate area multiplied by depth to get cubic feet, convert to cubic yards (divide by 27), then multiply by an estimated weight per cubic yard for fill dirt. A practical rule of thumb is 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction; for example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches equals about 18.5 cubic yards, or roughly 22 to 30 tons. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a project-specific estimate and to include a cushion for settlement.
Contractors typically use fill dirt to raise grade, backfill, or fill low areas, while crushed stone or road base is preferred where structural support, drainage, and load-bearing are required. For driveways and erosion control in Bridge City’s clay soils, a compacted road base or crushed stone base topped with a wearing surface provides better longevity than fill dirt alone. Discuss your end use with your contractor so they can recommend the right material or combination.
Settling is common after initial placement, so expect to spot-fill low areas once or twice in the first year; long-term replenishment depends on use, drainage, and vegetation. Minor spot repairs are relatively inexpensive (often just a fraction of a truckload), while large regrades require more material and hauling costs; delivered costs vary widely by amount and distance. Contact Hello Gravel for a local delivered estimate based on the tons you need and to plan for ongoing maintenance.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
