Why Guadalupe Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Guadalupe, with a city population of 8,200 and a broader metro area population of 201,473, is experiencing fast growth that drives steady demand for construction and landscaping materials. The area’s annual growth rate of 11.90% plus its climate — 225 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 33.24 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — means homeowners and small contractors must plan for both dry, sun‑driven conditions and periodic wet seasons. That mix influences grading, drainage, and planting timelines, and increases the need for dependable bulk materials like fill dirt. Homeowners want predictable compaction, low‑organic content to limit future settling, and deliveries that arrive on schedule so projects from yard leveling to foundation backfill stay on track. Fill dirt is the economical, relatively inert soil used to raise grades, fill voids, and support structural and landscape layers, and it performs well in Guadalupe’s climate when it’s well‑graded and low in organics. With 33.24 inches of annual rainfall and 225 sunny days, properly selected and compacted fill dirt helps reduce erosion and settlement risks. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and haulers to source regionally appropriate fill dirt, offers transparent pricing, and manages scheduling and delivery. Standard delivery requires 2 business days or more, and next‑day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion.Popular Projects in Guadalupe This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Guadalupe Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Guadalupe.
Costs vary by volume, supplier, and local haul distance, but in Guadalupe expect a typical range of $20 to $60 per cubic yard or roughly $25 to $55 per ton for bulk fill dirt. Exact pricing depends on availability and whether delivery, spreading, or compaction is included; use Hello Gravel to get a local quote for your zip code and exact delivery costs. Rates are higher for small orders because trucks and minimums apply.
Yes, placing a layer of topsoil over compacted fill dirt is a common approach for lawns and gardens in Guadalupe. Fill dirt itself has low organic matter and is best used to raise grade; add 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil for planting or lawns to ensure proper drainage and plant growth. If you plan beds or turf, test drainage and consider local climate when selecting topsoil.
Fill dirt is usually cheaper than topsoil because it contains less organic material and is used mainly to raise grade or fill voids. Topsoil costs more due to screening and higher organic content, which makes it better for planting. For projects that only need elevation or backfill, choose fill dirt; for planting surfaces choose topsoil on top of the fill.
A rough price range for 10 cubic yards of fill dirt in the Guadalupe area is $200 to $600, depending on local supply and delivery fees. Ten cubic yards will cover about 1,000 square feet at 1 inch deep, about 500 square feet at 2 inches, or roughly 180 square feet at 6 inches. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote that includes delivery and any local minimum order charges.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to level yards and correct low spots in Guadalupe, especially when the goal is to raise grade before laying sod or hardscape. For best results, place fill dirt in thin lifts (4 to 6 inches), compact each lift, and finish with topsoil for planting. If you are building structures or retaining walls, consult a contractor or engineer about compaction and drainage requirements.
Fill dirt is usually sold in bulk, not 40 lb bags, but for comparison one cubic yard of typical fill dirt weighs about 2,000 to 2,700 pounds. That equals roughly 50 to 70 40 lb bags per cubic yard, depending on moisture and soil composition. For anything larger than small patches, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is usually more practical and cost effective.
Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 1,000 x 6 / 324 = 18.5 cubic yards (round up to 19). Call Hello Gravel if you want us to check your numbers and provide a delivery estimate for your zip code.
Fill dirt will settle over time, especially if not compacted; some settlement can occur within weeks to months after placement. For driveways, patios, or foundations you should compact fill in lifts and follow local building code or engineer guidance — in many cases contractors compact in layers and may require geotechnical approval before building. If you plan major structures, consult a licensed engineer to set compaction and wait-time requirements.
Properly installed fill dirt can be used without causing drainage problems, but poor placement or overfilling near foundations can divert water toward structures. Slope finished grades away from buildings at least 2% and incorporate drainage solutions like swales or downspout extensions as needed. Local soil and climate in Guadalupe can affect how quickly water moves, so consider adding a drainage plan for larger fills.
Hello Gravel delivers fill dirt through local contracted dump truck fleets, typically tri-axle trucks, with a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee); drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Provide clear delivery notes and photos of the drop area when ordering to help drivers place the material safely.
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.
