Fill Dirt in Northeast Inner Loop, TX

Yes. Hello Gravel serves the Northeast Inner Loop (check your zip code at checkout) and connects you with local suppliers and dump-truck haulers for bulk fill-dirt deliveries. Our minimum order is 3 tons; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact rates depend on supplier, distance, and site access, so request a quote for a firm price.

Hello Gravel sources fill-dirt from local suppliers across the Houston area so you can buy bulk material online and get it delivered by local haulers. Same-day delivery can be possible but is limited by supplier and truck availability; next-day is the more reliable option. If you need urgent delivery, contact our support with details and photos of the site so we can check local availability.

Prices vary by supplier, truck access, and order size, but delivered loose fill-dirt in the Houston inner-loop area commonly ranges roughly $15 to $45 per cubic yard. Tight site access, small loads, or permits can push costs toward the high end. For an accurate number tailored to your address and quantity, request a quote through our site.

A 50x100 lot is 5,000 sq ft; to raise it 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need 5,000 x 0.5 = 2,500 cubic feet, which is about 92.6 cubic yards (round to 93 yd3). We recommend ordering an extra 10% for settlement and compaction, so plan for about 102 cubic yards. For complex sites or sloped yards, get an on-site estimate from a supplier or contractor.

Small loads under about 3 cubic yards can be harder to find with dump-truck deliveries; Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons (roughly 2.5–3 cubic yards depending on moisture and compaction). Some local landscape yards, rental centers, or bagged soil shops can sell smaller amounts or palletized bags for tight city jobs. If you need a true 1–3 yd3 delivery, contact our team and we will check local suppliers that handle small loads.

Most Lowe’s stores in Houston sell bagged soils and landscape products and may offer pallet or contractor delivery for certain items, but they do not typically provide loose dump-truck deliveries of bulk fill-dirt. For loose bulk fill-dirt by the truckload in the Northeast Inner Loop, local suppliers and haulers (accessed through Hello Gravel) are the usual source. Check Lowe’s online and call your local store if you prefer bagged materials or small pallet orders.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. If you need a 4–6 inch fill-dirt base, that equals roughly 5.6–7.4 cubic yards of fill-dirt. At typical delivered prices of about $15–$45 per cubic yard, expect the fill-dirt supply portion to run roughly $85–$335 before any compaction, grading, or haul-off costs; ask local contractors for turnkey quotes that bundle material, labor, and disposal.

Some local haulers and contractors offer compaction and grading as add-on services, but driver tailgate spreading is performed only at their discretion. Compaction and grading are usually priced separately and commonly range from about $150 to $800 depending on area, equipment, and accessibility. Always request that service in advance during checkout or ask your supplier for a written add-on quote.

Fill-dirt is subsoil with few organics, used to raise grades, build foundations under pavement, and backfill; it is not intended to support plants on its own. Topsoil contains organic matter and nutrients for planting lawns, gardens, and beds. For grading or structural fill in the Northeast Inner Loop, order fill-dirt; for planting or turf, order topsoil or a topsoil/compost blend instead.

Yes. Inner-loop neighborhoods often have narrow streets, limited curb space, and HOA or rental rules that restrict where trucks can park and offload. The City of Houston has rules about blocking public right-of-way and may require permits for extended street closures or sidewalk obstruction. Check your HOA and local municipal requirements before scheduling delivery and tell us about any parking or access limits so we can coordinate with the hauler.

Many local suppliers and contractors will provide on-site estimates, especially for larger jobs, but availability can vary and some may charge a site-visit fee. For quick estimates, upload photos and measurements to Hello Gravel or use our material calculator as a starting point; for precise pricing and site-specific recommendations, request an on-site visit from a local supplier or contractor.
