Fill Dirt in Ft. Phantom Area, TX

Typical delivered price for fill-dirt in the Ft. Phantom Area runs about $12 to $28 per cubic yard depending on supplier, distance, and moisture/content. Converted to weight, that is roughly $9 to $23 per ton, assuming 1 cubic yard of fill-dirt weighs about 1.0 to 1.35 tons. Exact pricing and any delivery fees show at checkout or on your Hello Gravel quote.

Use cubic yards = area (sq ft) * depth (in) / 324. For 400 sq ft that equals about 2.5 cu yd at 2", 5.0 cu yd at 4", and 7.5 cu yd at 6". At $12 to $28 per cu yd, delivered totals to Ft. Phantom would be roughly $30 to $70 for 2", $60 to $140 for 4", and $90 to $210 for 6", not including any small-order surcharges or special delivery fees.

Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10 to 12 loose cubic yards of fill-dirt (roughly 10 to 16 tons depending on density). Based on local unit pricing, a single truckload delivered to a Ft. Phantom residential address often runs in the neighborhood of $150 to $400, though distance, access, and minimum-order rules can change that. If you only need a small amount, remember our minimum order is 3 tons and smaller loads may carry a delivery surcharge.

Drivers may be able to perform basic tailgate spreading at their discretion if the site and safety allow it; this is requested at checkout but not guaranteed. For full grading, spreading, and compaction, local suppliers or contractor partners can usually provide those services for an additional fee—typical pricing ranges from contractor hourly rates ($75 to $200/hour) or $0.50 to $3.00 per sq ft depending on scope, plus equipment rental for compactors ($60 to $150/day). Always request these services up front so Hello Gravel can coordinate the right vendor and give a clearer estimate.

Plain compacted fill-dirt is an inexpensive option but is generally not recommended as the final structural base for a patio or driveway because it can shift, wash out, or settle. A crushed stone or crusher-run base with proper compaction performs much better long term for driveways and patios in the Texas climate. For comparison, supply-only fill-dirt is inexpensive by the yard, but a properly installed crushed-stone base (supply plus contractor grade-and-compact) often runs in the range of a few dollars to $8+ per sq ft depending on depth and access; contact Hello Gravel for referrals and a local supply-and-install estimate for Ft. Phantom projects.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons on our platform. Many local suppliers offer free delivery within a nearby radius, but smaller orders or long drives outside the supplier service area can incur delivery fees or fuel surcharges.

Yes, suppliers commonly offer price breaks for larger orders. Typical thresholds where per-yard pricing improves are around 10 to 20 cubic yards (one to two truckloads) and larger wholesale volumes beyond that. For larger projects in the Ft. Phantom Area, contact Hello Gravel sales so we can request bulk pricing from local suppliers and show any available tiered discounts.

Adding significant fill can trigger local permitting or grading requirements if it changes drainage, affects neighboring properties, or alters floodplain elevations; Ft. Phantom city or county building departments should be consulted for projects above a few cubic yards. Suppliers and Hello Gravel do not normally pull permits, but many local contractors and suppliers can advise on permitting needs or refer you to professionals who can manage permits and inspections. Always check local codes before ordering large quantities of fill-dirt.

Standard scheduling is 2+ business days, and Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee when local supplier capacity allows. Same-day delivery is sometimes possible depending on nearby supplier and truck availability but is not guaranteed. Use our checkout calendar or contact our team at 855-241-8884 to confirm the earliest available delivery window for your Ft. Phantom address.

Removing and hauling away existing topsoil or contaminated material may incur hauling and disposal charges based on volume and distance; expect that each truckload removed will incur a fee and labor for loading. Additional site-prep such as regrading, erosion control, or stabilization (silt fences, geotextile, compacting) will add contractor time and equipment costs. For a clear estimate for your Ft. Phantom property, get a site visit or share photos and quantities with Hello Gravel so we can coordinate accurate supplier or contractor quotes.
