Typical delivered fill dirt in Nash (West Texas) runs roughly $10 to $30 per ton (or $12 to $35 per cubic yard) depending on supplier and haul distance; remote or rural deliveries may be toward the high end. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee).

For a typical 2-car driveway example (20 ft wide by 20 ft long = 400 sq ft) raising 6 inches requires about 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 8 to 10 tons of loose fill dirt. For a larger 2-car driveway (20 ft by 40 ft = 800 sq ft) you would need about 14.8 cubic yards, or roughly 16 to 20 tons. Always order 10% to 15% extra to allow for compaction, settlement, and measurement differences.

Fill dirt is a suitable material for building up grades in Nash, but it is not a finished driveway surface. West Texas clay soils can expand, shrink, and crust in hot, dry conditions, so proper compaction in lifts and good drainage are essential. For driveways, place a structural layer such as road base or crushed limestone on top of fill dirt to improve durability and reduce maintenance; use fill dirt for bulk raising and reserve topsoil for planting.

Fill dirt is generally cheaper per ton but offers less structural support and is more prone to rutting and erosion than road base or crushed limestone. Road base and crushed limestone compact denser, shed water better, and provide a longer-lasting driving surface, so they cost more upfront but usually lower long-term maintenance. A common approach in Nash is to use fill dirt to raise grade and then cap with 4 to 6 inches of compacted road base or crushed limestone for the driveway surface.

Contractor costs vary with access, site prep, and equipment needs, but expect small residential jobs to add roughly $300 to $1,200 for grading and compaction; hourly rates for operators often run $50 to $120. If contractors charge by volume, installed costs (material plus placement and compaction) commonly fall in the $20 to $50 per ton range for local residential jobs. Get written quotes from two or three local contractors and confirm whether the price includes import compaction, grading, and disposal of excess material.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and schedules deliveries by contracted tri-axle dump trucks; standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed, so request spreading at checkout and plan for contractor spreading if needed. Always include delivery notes (preferred drop location, gate codes, overhead obstructions) when you order to help the driver and reduce delays.

Place fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift to minimize future settling and movement, and address drainage so water flows away from structures and paved surfaces. Don’t use fill dirt as a planting topsoil—bring in a layer of topsoil for lawns and gardens—and avoid mixing organic debris into fill material. If you plan a driveway, cap the compacted fill with road base or crushed stone and compact that layer well to get a stable, long-lasting surface.
