Why Archer City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Archer City, with a population of 1,700 and positioned within a West Texas region serving a metro area of 2.5+ million, combines small-town scale with steady development. The local growth rate of 0.80% annually and a climate of 228 sunny days per year with 34.25 inches of annual rainfall create steady demand for practical site work and residential improvements. Homeowners here are often tackling foundation backfill, grading for driveways, and daylighting low spots—projects that need reliable, locally sourced aggregates. Because soils vary across the region and landscaping must stand up to high sun and occasional heavy rain, residents look for quality fill materials that compact well, control erosion, and keep grading predictable over time.Popular Projects in Archer City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Archer City Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Archer City.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and material quality. In West Texas delivered fill dirt commonly ranges from about $10 to $35 per ton, but remote delivery or small loads can increase the price. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may charge extra for next-day delivery or long-haul drops; request a quote for an exact price to your Archer City zip code.
For driveways use well-graded fill with low organic content and good compaction characteristics rather than loose topsoil. A mix with some sand and fines or a compactible subbase like road base or crusher-run on top of the fill gives the best long-term performance in Archer City’s dry climate. Topcoat with crushed stone or gravel for a durable driving surface.
A 10x20 area raised 6 inches equals about 100 cubic feet, or roughly 3.7 cubic yards. Using a typical compacted weight of about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, you would need about 5.2 tons; we recommend ordering a 15-25% overage for settlement and compaction, so plan on about 6 tons.
Fill dirt can be used for rough grading under a slab, but it is not a substitute for a properly prepared structural base. For a garage slab you should use engineered fill and a compacted crushed stone base to control moisture and settlement; consider a geotechnical or contractor recommendation for load-bearing projects in Archer City.
Performance depends on the soil type and compaction. In West Texas, soils with high clay content can shrink and swell with moisture changes, causing settling or movement; well-compacted, low-organic fill with proper drainage will perform far better through seasonal cycles. For critical areas, test or select material with stable characteristics and ensure good drainage away from structures.
Fill dirt alone makes a poor long-term driveway surface and will compact, rut, and erode quickly under traffic and storms. If used only as a subgrade and covered with a gravel or crushed stone topcoat, a well-built surface typically needs light top-up every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and rain. For the best longevity in Archer City’s conditions, use fill dirt only for grading and add a durable top layer.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper per ton than crushed limestone because it is less processed. Crushed limestone provides a stable, permeable driving surface and base and commonly costs more—often 20% or more depending on local supply and haul distance. Choose fill dirt for grading and crushed limestone where a long-lasting driving surface or structural base is required.
Yes, experienced local contractors can compact fill dirt using plate compactors, rollers, and moisture conditioning to meet drainage and erosion-control needs. Make sure you specify target compaction (percent of Proctor) and that the contractor removes organics and soft spots before placing fill. Hello Gravel can connect you with materials and delivery; for compaction work ask contractors for references and equipment details.
Permit requirements depend on the project scope and location. Small grading jobs on private lots often do not need a permit, but large fills, work in a floodplain, or material brought onto commercial sites may require a city or Archer County permit and possibly TxDOT approval for deliveries affecting state roads. Contact Archer City Hall or Archer County permitting office before large imports to confirm local rules.
Hello Gravel’s standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; minimum orders start at 3 tons. Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks (about 10–12 tons per truck), fees depend on distance and access, and tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion.

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.
