Fill Dirt in Double Oak, TX

Smaller loads or short hauls tend to be less expensive while long hauls, next-day delivery, or added services raise the price.

Fill dirt pricing in West Texas is regional and changes with demand, but suppliers commonly price by the ton with an equivalent cubic yard price provided on request. Many suppliers offer volume discounts for larger orders (for example, discounts starting as order sizes exceed 10 tons), so ordering more often lowers the per-unit cost. Use our calculator and request a quote to see site-specific pricing and any bulk discounts available for Double Oak deliveries.

Quantity depends on the driveway width and desired depth. For example, a 20-foot long by 10-foot wide area at a 4-inch depth requires about 2.5 cubic yards (20 x 10 x 0.333 ft = 66.7 cu ft, divided by 27 = 2.47 cu yd). Always round up and add 5-10% for compaction and waste.

Two inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway base intended for vehicle traffic. For a stable compacted base we recommend a minimum of 4 inches, with 6-8 inches preferred for regular vehicle loads and long-term performance. After compacting fill dirt, it is best to cap with crushed stone or crusher-run for a durable finished surface.

Many local suppliers and drivers will offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and availability varies by truck and site. You can request spreading at checkout, and some suppliers may charge an additional fee if they agree to spread. Expect Hello Gravel to coordinate delivery and to note any spreading requests, but final approval is made by the driver on site for safety and access reasons.

For small amounts (under about 3 tons) pickup or hauling yourself can be cheaper, but Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons so delivered loads often become most cost-effective for typical yard projects. For larger volumes, dump-truck delivery directly to your site is usually the best value because it avoids extra trips and labor. Hiring a contractor adds labor and equipment cost, so contractors make sense when you need grading, compaction, or site prep beyond material delivery.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 162 square feet at 2-inch depth, about 81 square feet at 4-inch depth, and about 54 square feet at 6-inch depth. Use these numbers to quickly estimate how many cubic yards you need for your project. Remember to add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste.

Fill dirt compacts and can form a stable subgrade, but it is not recommended as the finished driving surface because it can rut, erode, or become muddy. We recommend compacting fill dirt as the base and then overlaying it with a wearing course such as crusher-run, 3/4u0022 crushed stone, or a stabilized gravel product for durability. In West Texas conditions, consider soil testing and proper compaction to address any expansive clay or drainage issues before finishing.

Measure the area length and width in feet and convert desired depth in inches to feet (depth in inches divided by 12). Multiply length x width x depth (ft) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Add 5-10% for compaction and irregularities, and consult us if the slope is steep or requires retaining structures.

Ensure a clear path for a tri-axle dump truck with adequate turning room, note overhead obstructions (low branches, wires), and identify the preferred dump location before delivery. Expect the truck to be heavy—avoid soft lawns and check for HOA or city rules about street blocking or material placement. Add delivery instructions in your order notes and contact our team if you need help planning access or want to request tailgate spreading.
