Why Bacliff Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bacliff is a small but growing West Texas community with a population of 8,880, located inside a metro area of 2.5+ million. With a modest annual growth rate of 0.40% and a semi-arid climate that averages 228 sunny days and 35.31 inches of rain per year, local homeowners increasingly invest in yard improvements, drainage upgrades, and foundation adjustments. Those projects create steady demand for reliable aggregates. Homeowners and contractors in Bacliff look for materials that perform under strong sun, periodic heavy rains, and local soil conditions—so knowing the right fill and delivery plan is essential to avoid setbacks and extra work later on.Popular Projects in Bacliff This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bacliff Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bacliff.
Fill dirt is clean subsoil without organics used to raise or level ground, fill holes, and build up grades. In Bacliff you would use it to elevate a lot above flood-prone areas, correct low spots, or bring a foundation pad to grade, but not as a finished driveway surface. Because Bacliff is coastal with a high water table in places, contractors often use fill dirt under engineered fills and drainage systems rather than as the final surface.
Calculate cubic yards with: cubic yards = (area in ft2 * depth in inches) / 324. Then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to estimate tons for typical compacted fill dirt (tons = cubic yards * 1.2). Example: to raise 1,000 ft2 by 6 inches you need ~18.5 yd3 or ~22 tons; add 10-15% for settlement and compaction.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day available before noon CST for an extra fee. Per-ton delivered prices in the Bacliff/Galveston coastal area commonly vary by supplier and distance but often fall in the range of $10 to $30 per ton; get a local quote through Hello Gravel for exact pricing. Factors that change rates include haul distance, truck type, access difficulty, and whether spreading is requested.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Bacliff and nearby Galveston County. For excavation, site prep, and spreading you can request recommendations at checkout or contact our sales team for contractor referrals and delivery scheduling. Always confirm that any excavator you hire is familiar with local soils and floodplain conditions.
Contractors typically place fill dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each lift to about 90-95% of Standard Proctor density for structural work. For residential driveway subgrade expect 6-12 inches of compacted engineered fill topped with a durable base rock (crusher run or limestone) to distribute load. Because Bacliff has areas of high groundwater and clayey soils, larger projects or elevated pads often require an engineered fill plan and compaction testing.
Raising grade with fill dirt can reduce flood risk at a single lot but must be done carefully; it can change drainage patterns and may push water onto neighbors if not graded properly. In Bacliff's coastal, higher water table environment fill dirt can settle and hold moisture more than in dry West Texas, so proper compaction, grading, swales, and possibly drainage pipe or geotextile are important. For larger mitigation projects consult a civil engineer and check floodplain rules before importing large volumes.
Possibly. Many large fills, grading changes, or projects in flood-prone areas require permits or a floodplain development permit from Galveston County or the local jurisdiction. You may also need approval if work affects wetlands, shoreline, or drainage; federal permits (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) can apply for tidal or wetland impacts. Always check with Galveston County Building and Planning and the local floodplain administrator before placing large volumes, and call 811 for utility locates before any digging.
Fill dirt alone is not a durable driveway surface: it compacts and can rut, wash out, and require frequent regrading, especially in coastal storms and heavy rain. Crushed limestone or crusher run laid over a properly compacted fill subgrade provides a more stable load-bearing surface, better drainage, and lower long-term maintenance. Best practice in Bacliff is to use fill dirt as subgrade to achieve elevation and compaction, then place a rock base and a final surface material for lasting performance.
Bacliff's busiest problem season is the wet months and hurricane season when ground is saturated; deliveries and spreading are easiest in drier months when trucks can access the site without getting stuck. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and drivers may refuse tailgate spreading if conditions are unsafe or wet; request spreading at checkout but expect driver discretion. Plan major fills in the dry window (typically late fall to early spring outside storm events) and monitor local weather before scheduling.
Have a clear drop zone and unobstructed access for tri-axle dump trucks, note overhead wires and tight turns, and mark the preferred placement with stakes. Call 811 to locate underground utilities, confirm driveway weight limits, and strip organic topsoil if you need structural fill; protect neighboring properties and avoid blocking drainage paths. When ordering from Hello Gravel, include delivery notes and any access constraints so the hauler can plan; drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
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.
