Fill Dirt in Dawson, TX

Most local deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks (about 10-14 cubic yards).

Delivery fees depend on distance, access, and road conditions; we show exact fees at checkout once you enter your address.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which is roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and composition. To raise a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway 4 inches (0.33 ft) you need about 2.5 cubic yards, roughly 3 to 4 tons of fill dirt. For other widths or depths, use volume = length x width x depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards.

For a small 20 ft by 10 ft driveway raised 4 inches you will need about 2.5 cubic yards (roughly 3-4 tons). Delivered material costs for that quantity in Dawson typically run in the low hundreds of dollars, roughly $150 to $500 depending on supplier, whether you request screened/clean fill, and delivery access. If you plan to add gravel surfacing, expect additional material and delivery costs for the top layer.

Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery but drivers perform tailgate spreading only at their discretion and we do not guarantee grading or compaction. Most contractors or local suppliers can provide grading and compaction as an add-on; small residential jobs typically add $100 to $500 depending on size, equipment, and site access. We recommend getting a separate quote from a local contractor if you need compaction or finish grading.

Yes, you can combine materials: common practice is 4-6 inches of compacted fill or road base for raising and leveling, topped with 2-4 inches of compacted crushed gravel or 3/4u0022 crushed stone for a driving surface. In West Texas, a compacted crusher-run or caliche base performs better than loose fill dirt alone for long-term durability, so consider fill dirt only for grade adjustments and road base or crushed stone for the structural base. Ask for a combined materials quote at checkout and note your intended use so suppliers can recommend appropriate mixes.

Hello Gravel schedules deliveries with local haulers and offers standard 2+ business day delivery and a next-day option for eligible orders. Customers are responsible for checking local permits or weight restrictions on private or county roads; heavy truck access may be limited after heavy rains or by local ordinances. We can help coordinate timing and note access restrictions on the order, but arranging permits or resolving on-site road access issues is the customer's responsibility.

Many suppliers in our network offer screened or 'clean' fill that is free of large debris and has fewer weeds; availability depends on local stock in Dawson. You can request screened fill in Order Notes at checkout, and drivers may be able to tailgate spread at their discretion, but spreading or hauling away excess material is not guaranteed and usually requires a separate service or contractor. Contact our team before ordering to request spreading or removal quotes from local partners.

Fill dirt is good for raising grade and backfill but is not as stable under traffic as crusher-run, caliche, or compacted crushed stone. For driveways in West Texas, crushed stone or crusher-run provides better drainage and load-bearing capacity; fill dirt alone is less durable and may rut or settle. Cost-effectiveness depends on your goal: for inexpensive grade correction, fill dirt is cheaper, but for a lasting driveway base, investing in crusher-run or 3/4u0022 crushed stone often reduces maintenance over time.

Hello Gravel accepts major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through our secure checkout and displays supplier-specific fees and delivery charges upfront. Cleanup expectations vary: drivers will try to place material to minimize mess, but customers should plan for tracking and some site cleanup; hauling away excess is typically a separate service. Supplier warranties and service terms vary by vendor; contact customer service promptly for any issues and review our refund policy for resolution steps.
