Why Abernathy Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Abernathy, with a city population of 2,840, sits on the plains of West Texas inside a metro area with a population of 2.7+ million and a modest annual growth rate of 0.80%. The local semi-arid climate — about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 35.75 inches in a USDA hardiness zone of 8b — supports steady residential building and outdoor projects year-round. That steady growth and favorable weather drive routine needs for earthmoving, yard leveling, driveway subbases, and grading work. Homeowners in Abernathy are looking for reliable, compactable aggregates to stabilize foundations, improve drainage, and create usable landscape contours. For many DIY projects, quality fill dirt is a cost-effective way to reshape yards, correct settlement, and prepare areas for sod, pavers, or small structures while minimizing future maintenance.Popular Projects in Abernathy This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Abernathy Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Abernathy.
Delivery cost depends on distance to local pits, truck size, and load weight. In the Abernathy area expect pricing driven by haul distance from West Texas quarries, seasonal demand, and whether special access (long driveways, tight turns) is needed. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and our minimum order is 3 tons; ask for a quote to see the per-ton delivered price for your ZIP code.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Abernathy and Hale County rather than selling directly. Typical minimums match truckloads: our platform minimum is 3 tons, while a tri-axle dump truck commonly delivers about 10-14 tons per load. If you need less than a truckload, Hello Gravel can often arrange partial deliveries or split loads depending on local availability.
Fill dirt can be used to raise grades and build up low spots, but native clay in West Texas can hold moisture and shrink or swell. For driveways, compact fill dirt in 4-6 inch lifts, then finish with an engineered base such as crusher run or crushed stone for drainage and strength. For best results, place at least 6-8 inches of compacted aggregate over the fill dirt rather than using fill dirt as the driving surface.
Hot, dry conditions cause soils to shrink and settle while occasional freeze-thaw cycles can create minor heave or surface cracking. Proper moisture conditioning during placement and thorough compaction reduce long-term settlement. Covering fill dirt with topsoil, mulch, or aggregate and controlling erosion will improve longevity in Abernathy's climate.
Permit requirements vary by project and location; small grade adjustments usually do not require a permit, but changing drainage patterns, altering lot elevation, or building in a floodplain may. Before major import or large elevation changes, contact the City of Abernathy and Hale County permitting offices to confirm local rules and any required approvals. If your work affects septic systems, floodplains, or adjacent drainage, paperwork and inspections are more likely to be required.
For Abernathy-area fill dirt expect roughly 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. To estimate, calculate area (sq ft) x depth (ft) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by 1.2 (a safe average) to get tons. Example: 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches depth = 1,000 x 0.5 = 500 cu ft = 18.5 cu yd ≈ 22 tons using 1.2 tons/yd3.
Use fill dirt for bulk elevation where appearance or planting is not required because it is generally lower cost and often contains less organic matter. For driveway bases, crusher run or crushed stone is superior because it compacts well and drains. Topsoil is best only as a final planting layer; a common approach is bring in inexpensive fill dirt for height, cap it with crusher run for structure, then add 4-6 inches of topsoil where you will plant.
Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST, subject to local supplier schedules. Deliveries are commonly made by tri-axle dump trucks; rural roads in Hale County can have weight restrictions or seasonal limits, and very heavy or oversized loads may need permits. Provide clear delivery instructions (driveway width, overhead lines, gate codes) to avoid delays and pricing changes.
Compact the fill in 4-6 inch lifts with a plate compactor or roller and shape the slope with small benches or terraces to slow runoff. Install erosion controls such as silt fence, erosion-control blankets, temporary seeding, or native grass to stabilize the surface before heavy rains. For long-term protection, consider low retaining walls, rock swales, or vegetative covers suited to West Texas drought conditions.
Fill dirt can be used under non-structural patios and to regrade yards when properly placed and compacted, but septic systems and building foundations typically require engineered or tested fill. Local health and building departments often require specific materials, compaction testing, or geotechnical approval for septic fields and structural foundations. Always check with Hale County Health Department and the City of Abernathy building officials before using fill dirt for these critical applications.
Request tailgate spreading or special placement in the Order Notes at checkout and confirm with Hello Gravel if you need precise placement or restrictions on truck access. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on job-site safety and truck access. For guaranteed spreading or fine grading, hire a local contractor or schedule a follow-up service after delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
