Why Aledo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Aledo, Texas (city population 27,210) sits inside a growing West Texas region—the surrounding metro area totals 2.1+ million people and is expanding at 2.50% annually—creating steady demand for housing, yards, and infrastructure. With a semi-arid climate that averages 230/year sunny days, 35.00 inches of rain annually, and a hardiness zone of 8a, homeowners face both strong sun and episodic storms that affect soil stability and drainage. That mix makes reliable aggregates essential: homeowners and contractors need quality fill dirt to raise low spots, create proper drainage, and prepare level pads for patios, sheds, and foundations so projects resist erosion and settling over time. Fill Dirt in Aledo is a practical choice because locally sourced material reflects the regional soil profile and compacts well for grading and backfill work in this climate. Use fill dirt for building up driveways, backfilling foundations, and regrading yards; compacting in 4–6 inch lifts helps long-term stability. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, offers clear online ordering and scheduling, and coordinates logistics so you get the right material, volume, and delivery window to start your project on time.Popular Projects in Aledo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Aledo Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Aledo.
Fill dirt is subsoil with low organic content used to raise grades, fill holes, or build up a pad. In Aledo it is commonly used to raise yards, level driveways, and prepare building pads, but it is not a finished surface—plan to cap it with gravel, crushed stone, or topsoil for planting.
Typical delivered prices in the Aledo/West Texas area generally fall in the range of about $10 to $30 per cubic yard, which roughly equates to $8 to $25 per ton (assuming about 1.2 tons per cubic yard). Final cost depends on haul distance, order size, truck access, and any spreading services requested.
For driveways and pads, select fill dirt that is clean subsoil with minimal organic matter and a mix of sand, silt, and some clay so it compacts well. Avoid topsoil or high-organic materials; in areas with expansive clays consider select engineered fill or stabilization (lime/gravel) and a granular base like crushed limestone on top to improve drainage and durability.
A 1/4 acre (10,890 sq ft) raised 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about 5,445 cubic feet, which is roughly 202 cubic yards. Using a convenient conversion of about 1.2 tons per cubic yard this equals about 242 tons; plan to order 5-10% extra to account for compaction and grading, so order roughly 212–222 cubic yards (about 255–267 tons) depending on site conditions.
Rules vary by project size and location. Small deliveries for yard grading often don’t need a permit, but larger land disturbance, grading that affects drainage, or work in subdivisions may require a permit or HOA approval—check with the City of Aledo planning department and Tarrant County before large deliveries. If you have a contractor or Hello Gravel delivery, mention the scope so you can verify permit needs ahead of time.
Place fill in thin lifts (commonly 4–6 inches loose) and compact each lift before adding more; moisture condition the material to achieve good compaction. Slope surfaces for positive drainage, avoid burying organic material, use geotextile or stabilization where needed, and consider a professional compaction test for foundation or driveway subgrades.
Access and distance are big price drivers: tri-axle dump trucks need clear, firm approaches, typically 12–14 ft width and space to turn; soft driveways, long carry distances, narrow gates, or steep grades can require smaller trucks or additional labor and add fees. Tell Hello Gravel about access limitations, driveway surface, and final placement so we can match the right truck and give an accurate price and ETA.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt can remain stable for many years, but some settlement and minor grading is normal during the first year. Expect occasional top-up and regrading, keep drainage functioning to avoid erosion, and maintain the finished surface (gravel or crushed stone) with periodic replenishment—roof-to-yard runoff and heavy summer storms in West Texas make good drainage especially important.
Use fill dirt to build or raise the subgrade because it is cost-effective for bulk lift work, but it is not a long-term wearing surface. For driveway bases and finished surfaces in Aledo, crushed limestone or compactable gravel is a better base and driving surface; decomposed granite is more decorative but can rut in heavy use. A common approach is fill and compact a select subgrade, then install a crushed limestone or gravel base for durability and drainage.

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.
