Why Armstrong Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Armstrong is a small West Texas community with a city population of 60 and sits inside a metro area population of 2.5+ million. Growth in Armstrong is effectively flat, with a reported growth rate of 0.00% annually, but the region's climate—228/year sunny days and 34.25 inches per year of rainfall—still drives steady local building and landscaping needs. Hardiness Zone 8b supports year-round outdoor work, and homeowners here often face grading, drainage, and foundation prep projects that need reliable bulk materials. Because yards and building pads must handle both strong sun and occasional heavy rain, Armstrong residents look for trustworthy aggregates that compact well, control erosion, and form stable bases for driveways, patios, and raised landscape beds.Popular Projects in Armstrong This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Armstrong Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Armstrong.
Delivery cost for fill dirt in Armstrong varies with distance, truck access, and order size. Rural deliveries in West Texas often range from no fee (when local suppliers are nearby) up to about $150–$350 for longer hauls or difficult access; Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing and may offer free delivery in some areas. The minimum order is typically 3 tons, and exact cost is available when you enter your zip code or request a quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and hauling partners who serve Armstrong and surrounding West Texas towns. Enter your Armstrong zip code on our site to see available suppliers, schedules, and per-ton pricing; expect materials to come from regional quarries or earth-moving companies. If you need help, contact our team and we can guide you on availability and next steps.
For dry West Texas fill dirt, a practical estimate is about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, since arid soils are lighter and contain less moisture than wet clay. Multiply the cubic yards you need by 1.1–1.3 to get a tonnage estimate (for example, 10 cubic yards ≈ 11–13 tons). Note that moisture, soil type, and compaction change weight, so request a supplier estimate if you need an exact figure.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grade or backfilling but is not a good wearing surface for driveways or parking pads in Armstrong’s hot, dry climate. Use fill dirt as subgrade, then add a compacted base layer such as crusher-run or crushed stone for strength, drainage, and dust control. Proper compaction and a granular cap will greatly improve performance and reduce maintenance.
Fill dirt should be placed in thin lifts (typically 4–6 inches) and compacted between lifts to achieve solid support; contractors often aim for about 90–95% relative compaction for structural work. Local grading and earthwork contractors in the Armstrong area provide compaction, roller, and testing services; Hello Gravel handles delivery and can help schedule, but compaction is a separate trade you should arrange before finishing surfaces. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but do not provide compaction guarantees.
Fill dirt is primarily fine earth used to raise grade or fill voids, while crusher-run is a mix of crushed stone and fines that compacts tightly and provides drainage and load-bearing capacity. For foundations, footings, driveways, and pads in Armstrong, crusher-run or engineered aggregate is usually the better choice; use fill dirt for bulk grading and then cap with crusher-run where structural strength is needed. Discuss your project with a contractor or Hello Gravel rep to pick the right material for each layer.
A driveway left as bare fill dirt will require frequent maintenance—grading after storms and dust control in the summer—often multiple times per year. If you compact the subgrade and add a gravel or crusher-run topcoat, expect lighter maintenance like occasional grading and adding material every 2–5 years depending on traffic and storm events. Armstrong’s dry climate increases dust and wind erosion, so capping with a stable aggregate significantly reduces upkeep.
Fill dirt can be used to build up low areas and regrade gentle slopes, but by itself it is not an effective erosion-control solution on steep banks. In Armstrong’s arid environment combine fill with terracing, vegetation, mulch, rock riprap, or geotextile fabric to stabilize slopes, and consider professional engineering for steep or high-risk areas. For small projects, ask local suppliers about blended soils or topsoil mixes better suited for planting and stabilization.
Permit requirements vary by project size, location, and whether work affects right-of-way, floodplains, or significant drainage patterns. For large fills or grading in Armstrong County, check with the Armstrong County office or local city government before ordering to confirm any permitting, setback, or erosion-control rules. Hello Gravel recommends verifying permits early—our team can remind you to check local regulations but cannot obtain permits on your behalf.
Seasonal factors in West Texas—extreme heat, dust, and occasional heavy rain—can affect scheduling and site access for fill dirt deliveries. Standard Hello Gravel delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST; drivers will assess site conditions on arrival and may delay or decline spreading if safety or access is a concern. To avoid delays, plan deliveries outside of forecasted storms and communicate site access details when ordering.
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.
