Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and material quality, but a common delivered range for fill dirt in the Houston area is roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard (or about $120 to $360 per 10-12 cubic yard truckload). Exact pricing for Midtown will appear at checkout after you enter your address and preferred delivery date.

For 1,000 sq ft: 1 inch = ~3.1 cubic yards, 2 inches = ~6.2 cu yd, 3 inches = ~9.3 cu yd, 4 inches = ~12.3 cu yd, and 6 inches = ~18.5 cu yd. A typical tri-axle truck carries about 10-12 loose cubic yards, so plan roughly one truck for 3-4 inches over 1,000 sq ft or two trucks for 6 inches.

For small touch-ups, bagged fill dirt or soil from big-box stores can work, but bagged material is much more expensive per cubic yard (dozens of bags equal one yard). For yard-scale grading or filling in Midtown, bulk delivery by truck is far cheaper and faster; choose bags only when you need a few cubic feet or when access prevents a truck from dumping.

Fill dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel per cubic yard and is used for raising grade, backfilling, and leveling where drainage or compaction is the goal. Gravel is better when you need a stable surface, drainage, or a base for driveways and patios; for grading in Midtown use fill dirt, but use gravel where surface stability or drainage is required.

Fill dirt is mostly subsoil with little organic matter and is intended for grading and structural fill, not planting. For lawns, gardens, and planting beds in Midtown, order topsoil or a topsoil mix instead of fill dirt; you can use fill dirt under topsoil to build grade but add several inches of topsoil for plant health.

Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee applies). Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle); choose your preferred date at checkout and include order notes about access or placement.

Yes—Midtown is an urban area with narrow streets, parking limits, and neighborhood rules. Trucks may need space to park or reverse up driveways; in some cases you or your supplier may need a temporary parking permit or to coordinate with local authorities or your HOA. Check city rules, clear parking, and note restrictions in your order to avoid delays.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival; if spreading is critical, arrange for professional spreading or a separate service.

Clear a path for the truck and mark underground utilities, sprinkler heads, and fragile landscaping; remove cars and obstacles from the street or driveway. Provide placement instructions in your order notes and confirm access with our team so the driver can place the load where you want it safely.

Inspect the load for large debris, construction waste, or obvious contamination and note moisture/compaction if visible; natural variation in color and texture is normal. If you have concerns, take photos, keep delivery tickets, and contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to resolve any issues.
