Why Willard Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Willard has a population of 3,960 and is part of a growing regional market that is expanding at a 2.80% annual rate. In Willard's climate—with 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rainfall annually, and a location in hardiness zone 8b—homeowners are seeing steady demand for grading, yard recontouring, and foundation work as lots are prepped or improved. That steady growth and the mix of sun and rain mean projects need materials that perform: stable, compactible soils for raising low spots, clean subgrade support for driveways, and reliable backfill for retaining walls. Local sourcing matters because the texture and compaction characteristics of fill materials reflect the area's geology and affect long-term performance. Fill Dirt is a practical choice for Willard projects that require a stable, low-organic subsoil to raise grades and improve drainage in a region that gets 34.00 inches of rain a year. It compacts well when placed in lifts, so it helps prevent future settling beneath foundations, patios, and driveways; note that fill dirt is not ideal as a planting medium, so topsoil should be added where you plan to grow. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers, lets you order online, choose your delivery date, and schedule dump-truck delivery—standard lead times are 2+ business days with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST—so you get the right fill dirt delivered when you need it.Popular Projects in Willard This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Willard Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Willard.
Fill dirt is subsoil with minimal organic material used to raise or level ground and fill low spots. In Willard it’s commonly used for grading yards, raising building pads above wet spots, and filling utility trenches before topsoil and landscaping are added. It isn’t suitable as a final planting surface because it lacks nutrients and may be compacted before adding topsoil.
Measure the area in square feet and the average depth in inches, then use this formula: cubic yards = (area ft2 × depth in) ÷ 324. To convert to tons for ordering, a practical estimate is about 1.1–1.4 tons per cubic yard; many homeowners use 1.25 tons/yd3 for estimates and add 10–20% extra for settlement and compaction. If you want help, use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel with your measurements and zip code.
Willard sits in the coastal plain where soils can be sandy or clayey and the water table may be relatively high after heavy rains, so expect some extra settlement and slower drainage in low spots. For areas with poor drainage, you may need additional compacted fill and a capped layer of crushed stone for a stable base rather than relying on fill dirt alone. If your property borders wetlands or a floodplain, check local permitting requirements before raising grades.
Fill dirt alone is not recommended as a finished surface for driveways because it can rut and hold water. It can be used as a compacted subgrade to raise low areas, but you should cap it with a structural layer such as road base or crushed stone and compaction between lifts for long-term performance. For driveways exposed to traffic and rain in Willard, a crushed stone or road base surface is the better choice.
Most settlement happens during the first several months to a year after placement, especially if the material is placed loosely or over organic soils. To reduce future settling, place fill in 6–8 inch lifts and compact each layer; hiring a compaction contractor or renting a plate compactor helps. Plan to leave extra material or budget for a minor top-up and regrading after the first wet season.
Fill dirt is subsoil with little organic matter used to raise or grade land; it’s not good for planting. Topsoil is nutrient-rich and used for lawns and gardens. Road base or crushed stone is angular, compactable material designed to carry traffic loads and provide drainage; use it for driveways, pads, and areas where stability and drainage matter.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and typical residential deliveries for grading projects range from 3 to about 30 tons; contractors commonly order larger loads. Prices vary by supplier, trucking distance, and material availability, but fill dirt is usually the lower-cost option among aggregates. For an accurate quote for Willard, enter your zip code on our site or contact our sales team—we’ll show local pricing and delivery options.
Deliveries usually come by tri-axle dump truck and require clear access to the drop spot; narrow driveways, low-hanging wires, and soft shoulders can limit placement. Mark the exact drop location, remove cars and obstacles, and consider laying plywood to protect lawns. Select a delivery date in checkout (standard is 2+ business days; next-day available before noon CST for a fee) and request tailgate spreading if desired, knowing drivers decide on-site whether it’s safe to spread.
After placement and compaction, keep an eye on low spots and ruts, especially after heavy rains, and regrade or add material as needed during the first year. If you plan to landscape, add a layer of topsoil before planting or sodding. For areas that will see traffic, cap the fill with road base or crushed stone and compact to maintain stability.
Natural materials vary by local geology, so coloration and texture can differ from photos; however, if the material appears contaminated, excessively rocky, or unsuitable for your intended use, contact Hello Gravel customer service with photos and delivery details as soon as possible. We will work with you and the local supplier to resolve the issue and direct you to our refund and claims process if necessary.
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.
