Why Alamo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Alamo is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 31,180 and a metro area population of 1.4+ million, expanding at a 1.24% annual growth rate. With 223 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 22.32 inches, and a hardiness zone of 9b, local landscaping and construction face semi-arid conditions that require smart site preparation. Homeowners and contractors in Alamo are investing in grading, foundation backfill, and erosion control to make yards buildable and durable. Clean, compactable fill dirt is in demand because it stabilizes slopes, raises low spots, and creates consistent bearing surfaces for patios, driveways, and foundations. Choosing the right fill dirt up front can reduce settling, improve drainage, and prevent costly rework down the road. Fill dirt for Alamo projects should be low in organic content and easy to compact so it performs reliably in the region's dry, sunny climate and modest rainfall. Proper placement and compaction help manage runoff despite Alamo's 22.32 inches of annual rainfall and protect plantings in hardiness zone 9b. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers to deliver the right fill dirt when you need it, with a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery in 2+ business days. Request tailgate spreading at checkout and note compaction or drainage requirements so suppliers and drivers can assess feasibility on arrival.Popular Projects in Alamo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Alamo Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Alamo.
Fill dirt is primarily soil and fine particles used to raise grades, fill holes, or build up low spots. Unlike gravel, which is rockier and designed for drainage and load-bearing, fill dirt compacts but does not provide good drainage or a stable wearing surface. In West Texas (including Alamo), fill dirt often reflects local caliche and clay content, so expect regional variation in color and compaction behavior.
Generally yes, fill dirt is usually less expensive than gravel because it contains more fines and less processed rock. Pricing still varies by supplier, haul distance, and regional availability in West Texas, so get a local quote through Hello Gravel to see current rates for Alamo deliveries. Remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees depend on distance and truck type.
A typical tri-axle dump truck serving Alamo carries about 8 to 12 cubic yards, depending on local material weight and legal load limits. Costs vary widely with supplier rates and haul distance, so use Hello Gravel to request an exact price for a specific truck size and delivery location. We provide upfront quotes and can match you with local haulers who know West Texas road and permit requirements.
For fill dirt, suppliers commonly use cubic yards because soil volume matters more than weight for coverage. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth (or about 81 sq ft at 4 inches). The weight per cubic yard varies by moisture and composition, so ask Hello Gravel to convert to tons for your Alamo delivery if you need weight-based pricing.
Multiply the area by desired depth in feet and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches deep needs about 6.2 cubic yards (1,000 x 2/12 / 27). Because fill dirt can settle and compact, we recommend ordering about 10% extra for Alamo projects to allow for compaction and spreading losses.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level yards, especially for small grade adjustments and low spots. For best results in West Texas, place fill in shallow lifts (4 to 6 inches), compact each layer, and address drainage so water does not pool; large structural fills or foundation work should use engineered fill and a contractor. If you need help estimating quantities or compaction advice, contact our team for guidance.
You can place gravel over compacted fill dirt, but the fill must be well-compacted and stable first to prevent future settling. In many driveway installations, contractors use fill dirt for grade and then add a compacted base rock before topping with surface gravel; this creates a more durable, load-bearing surface. Ask for tailgate spreading at checkout, but remember drivers may only spread at their discretion.
No, fill dirt is generally not suitable for drainage because its fine particles slow water movement and can clog drain pipes. Use clean, washed drain rock or gravel in the trench to promote flow, and then cover with a layer of soil or engineered backfill as recommended. In Alamo’s dry climate, proper selection helps prevent localized pooling when heavy rains occur.
No, compacted fill dirt will become firm but will not harden like concrete or stabilized crushed stone. Compaction improves load capacity and reduces settlement, but for surfaces that need to support vehicles or heavy equipment, use engineered base materials or stabilized aggregates rather than relying on fill dirt alone. For advice on suitable base materials for driveways in West Texas, contact our sales team.
Permit rules vary by city, county, and homeowners association, so check Alamo municipal regulations and any local HOA requirements before ordering large volumes. Large fills, changes in drainage, or grading work often trigger permitting or inspection requirements in parts of West Texas. If you are unsure, our team can help point you to local resources and suggest hauling options that comply with local rules.
Clear a placement area and mark where you want material left, keeping in mind truck access and overhead obstructions like low branches or power lines. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for qualifying orders; note drivers may refuse tailgate spreading if unsafe. Because Alamo soils can be dusty or contain caliche, plan for compaction and moisture management after delivery.
Fill dirt itself does not repel insects or act as pest control; however, properly graded yards that do not hold standing water will discourage mosquitoes and other moisture-dependent pests. Good landscaping practices—proper drainage, removal of organic debris, and appropriate topsoil or mulch where plants grow—are more effective for pest control than adding fill dirt alone. If pest issues are a concern in West Texas, coordinate grading with mosquito-prevention measures.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
