Fill Dirt in Floydada, TX

In Floydada, fill dirt usually ranges from about $10 to $30 per cubic yard depending on supplier, haul distance, and material type. Prices can vary seasonally and with local availability; 1 cubic yard generally weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons, so per-ton pricing will vary accordingly.

Yes — fill dirt is typically cheaper than gravel because it is simply subsoil with little processing. Gravel is processed and used for drainage or structural support, so it usually costs more and is chosen when stability or drainage is required.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet (a 3' x 3' x 3' cube). That covers about 324 square feet at 1 inch depth, 108 square feet at 3 inches, and roughly 36 square feet at 9 inches; actual coverage will change with compaction and slope.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our service area carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. At local fill dirt prices, one truckload often runs from about $100 to $420 for material alone; delivery fees, site access, and minimum order requirements can change the final cost.

Fill dirt in Floydada is often light brown to gray and can be clayey or contain caliche (hard calcium carbonate nodules) depending on the exact source. It usually has low organic matter, is denser than topsoil, and behaves differently in wet versus dry conditions, so regional variation is common.

That depends on the fill quality: clean, well-graded, and properly compacted granular fill can be acceptable under slabs when it meets an engineer's specs. Expansive clays, organic-rich soils, or loose uncompacted fill are not recommended; for structural work in Floydada you should consult an engineer and consider a compacted aggregate base instead.

No — compacted fill dirt becomes firm but does not chemically cure or harden like concrete. Certain local soils with high clay or caliche content can become very hard when dry, but they can soften when wet and still lack the long-term strength and consistency of a concrete surface.

Typically no. Fill dirt is subsoil intended to raise grade or fill voids and usually has very little organic matter or topsoil, which is why it is less suitable for planting without adding topsoil or amendments.

Standard delivery is usually 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. We work with local providers and dump trucks; minimum orders and delivery fees depend on your zip code and site access.

Plan for compaction steps, a 5-10% material overage to allow for settlement and grading, and safe truck access for a tri-axle delivery. Account for the local semi-arid climate and potential caliche — you may need moisture and mechanical compaction to get a stable result, and you should note preferred drop location in the order notes.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; order changes are easiest before the supplier and hauler have been assigned or before dispatch. We will make our best effort to accommodate changes, but modifications are not guaranteed once the load is in process.
