Why Canton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Canton, West Texas, has a city population of 13,390 and sits inside a broader metro region of 2.5+ million. The area’s steady 0.70% annual growth, semi-arid climate, and local geography shape how homeowners approach outdoor projects. With 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, Canton properties face cycles of dry heat and occasional heavy storms that make proper grading and drainage essential. That combination of weather and growth drives steady demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners need material to raise low spots, backfill foundations, build level pads for sheds and patios, and correct drainage paths. Quality fill dirt helps establish a stable base that compacts well and reduces future settling, so Canton residents often look for locally sourced material that reflects West Texas soils and performs under local conditions.Popular Projects in Canton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Canton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Canton.
Fill dirt is clean subsoil with little to no organic matter, used to raise grades or fill holes. It is denser and less fertile than topsoil, so it is not suitable for planting but is good for structural fills and grading tasks.
Delivered fill dirt in Canton commonly ranges from about $8 to $20 per ton depending on supplier distance, order size, and moisture content. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and next-day delivery or long-haul deliveries may add fees, so get a quote for an exact price.
Most contracted dump trucks in our network are tri-axle or standard dump trucks that commonly carry about 10 to 20 tons of fill dirt per load. Hello Gravel lists 3 tons as the minimum order; larger residential jobs often come in one to two truckloads, while commercial jobs may require multiple loads.
First calculate cubic yards: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. Then convert to tons using a typical factor of about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt (tons ≈ cubic yards x 1.2). Actual weight can vary with moisture and compaction (rough range 1.0–1.4 tons/yd3), so order a little extra or contact Hello Gravel for help with your exact project.
Fill dirt can work in Canton but be cautious: local clay soils can shrink and swell with moisture changes, and flat, poorly drained fills can trap water. For areas needing stable drainage or load-bearing capacity in West Texas heat, consider engineered fill, mixing with gravel for drainage, or adding a capped layer of road base or crushed stone.
Fill dirt alone is not ideal as a finished driveway surface but can be used as subgrade if placed in 4–6 inch lifts and compacted between lifts. For driveways and building pads, compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller and aim for high compaction (typically near 95% Standard Proctor); for structures you should follow engineer specs and get compaction testing.
Fill dirt is the least expensive but provides the poorest drainage and wearing surface. Crusher run and road base are engineered blends that compact well and shed water, making them better choices for driveways and access roads. Topsoil is for planting and should not be used under driveways or pads.
Rules vary: small landscaping fills usually do not require permits, but significant grade changes, fills near drainage, septic systems, or structures may need Van Zandt County permits or HOA approval. Always check with Van Zandt County building and your HOA before large deliveries to avoid delays or required remediation.
Fill dirt can be acceptable if it is clean (free of organic matter), properly placed, and compacted to code, but many local inspectors and engineers require engineered fill and compaction testing under septic drain fields and foundations. Contact the county building office or your project inspector to confirm specific requirements for your lot.
A bare fill dirt driveway will need frequent grading and may rut or wash out after heavy rains; lifespan varies widely depending on traffic and drainage. To reduce maintenance and extend life, cap the fill with road base or crushed stone and install proper drainage; that approach can give you many years of usable access compared to untreated fill dirt.
In addition to material and delivery, expect possible costs for grading, vegetation removal, hauling within-site, compaction, and erosion control. Small residential site prep might run a few hundred dollars, while larger jobs or work requiring heavy equipment and hauling can be $500–$2,000 or more; request a detailed quote and site notes when ordering.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days; next-day delivery is possible if ordered before noon CST for an additional fee. Bulk pricing improves with larger quantities, and you can add delivery notes, request possible tailgate spreading (driver discretion), and contact our team for volume pricing and scheduling details.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

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!
