Why Emerald Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Emerald Hills, with a city population of 61,122 and a metro area population of 2.4+ million, is experiencing steady demand for residential and small-scale commercial improvements as the area grows at 2.30% annually. Located in hardiness zone 8b and enjoying 235 sunny days per year alongside 34.70 inches of annual rainfall, the local climate supports year-round outdoor projects. That combination of growth and favorable weather means homeowners are frequently regrading yards, raising low spots, installing retaining walls, building driveways, and prepping foundations — all projects that need dependable bulk material. Quality fill dirt reduces uneven settling, improves compaction performance, and helps maintain proper drainage so patios, walkways, and foundations perform well over time in Emerald Hills' sun-and-rain climate. Fill dirt is a basic, clean, compactable subsoil used to fill low areas, build up grades, and backfill around footings; it is not a planting soil. In Emerald Hills, fill dirt helps create stable grades that shed water during seasonal rains while resisting erosion under sunny conditions. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers who source regional fill dirt, offer clear pricing, and schedule deliveries to match your project timeline. We require a minimum order of 3 tons, standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for eligible orders placed before noon CST; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion.Popular Projects in Emerald Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Emerald Hills Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Emerald Hills.
In Emerald Hills, fill dirt commonly ranges from about $20 to $50 per ton depending on source, moisture, and delivery distance. Price can vary based on truck size and whether the material is screened or has large rocks; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows zip-specific pricing at checkout.
A cubic yard of fill dirt usually weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons, so multiply the per-ton price by that amount to estimate cost per cubic yard. For example, at $30 per ton, one cubic yard would cost roughly $36 to $45, but local variations and delivery fees may change the final price.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is subsoil with little organic matter and is intended for building up grade rather than planting. Use fill dirt to raise or level areas, then cover with topsoil if you plan to plant; in Emerald Hills you may also want to add amendments for drainage and plant health.
Hello Gravel commonly delivers on tri-axle trucks that carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. As a rule of thumb, 12 cubic yards spread 2 inches deep will cover about 1,944 square feet; adjust with the formula (cubic yards * 324) / depth(in inches) and remember compaction reduces final coverage.
Estimate a truckload cost by multiplying the per-ton price by the truck’s tonnage and adding delivery charges. For example, if a tri-axle holds roughly 12 tons and the price is $30 per ton, material cost is about $360 before delivery—contact Hello Gravel for an exact zip-based quote and any hauling fees.
No, 2 inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway; it is too thin and not a proper structural base. Driveways need a compacted base of engineered fill and crushed stone (commonly 4 to 6 inches or more depending on use), plus a wearing surface; also consider compaction and drainage for Emerald Hills soils.
One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards, so coverage depends on depth. At that density one ton will cover about 65 square feet at 1 inch, about 33 square feet at 2 inches, and about 22 square feet at 3 inches; actual coverage varies with compaction and moisture.
Order online at Hello Gravel by entering your Emerald Hills zip code to see availability and pricing; the minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days. You can request next-day delivery (additional fee) if you order before noon CST and add notes for tailgate spreading, which drivers may perform at their discretion.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
