Why Bailey Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bailey is a small West Texas community with a city population of 312 and a metro area population of 7,209, experiencing steady local growth at an annual growth rate of 2.60%. The region is semi-arid, with 256 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 31.38 inches, and a hardiness zone of 7b, all of which shape how homeowners plan outdoor projects. As new builds, property adjustments, and yard improvements increase with local development, demand for stable, inexpensive fill materials rises. Homeowners seek quality fill dirt to level lots, raise low spots for drainage, support new patios and shed pads, and reduce erosion. Reliable aggregates prevent future settling and drainage problems, which is especially important in areas where dry spells alternate with intense rain events and strong sun that can compact or erode surfaces unevenly.Popular Projects in Bailey This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bailey Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bailey.
Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise or level ground; it contains little organic matter and is heavier and more compactable than topsoil. Unlike topsoil, it is not meant for planting, and unlike crushed gravel it does not provide a finished, load-bearing surface or good drainage.
Delivered prices in West Texas, including Bailey, typically range from about $7 to $15 per ton and roughly $9 to $18 per cubic yard depending on source and haul distance. Rural deliveries and long hauls can push prices higher, so get a local quote through Hello Gravel for a precise delivered price.
Local suppliers include nearby quarries, construction site cleanouts, and farm borrow pits; Hello Gravel connects you with those local sources. Our minimum order is 3 tons, but many rural suppliers prefer full truckloads (tri-axle trucks carrying roughly 10 to 16 tons), so minimums can be higher for remote deliveries.
Deliveries are usually by tri-axle dump truck (about 10 to 16 tons per load) or smaller end-dumps for short runs. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; local short-haul deliveries are often lower cost, while hauls over 30 to 50 miles commonly add a per-mile fee. Hello Gravel lists delivery timing and fees at checkout and can provide a quote based on your exact address and access conditions.
Fill dirt will compact and stabilize over sandy loams but can behave unpredictably over expansive clays without proper preparation. For driveways, building pads, or areas with drainage issues, use engineered fill, staged compaction, and consider geotextile fabric or a compacted rock base to reduce settlement and movement. When in doubt for structural work, plan for compaction testing and talk to a local engineer or contractor.
Permitting rules vary by town and county; small residential fill for grading or landscaping often needs no special permit, but large fills for building pads, septic drainage changes, or alterations to drainage paths commonly require permits or inspections. Check with Bailey city offices or the county planning office before major fills, and let Hello Gravel know if your project needs paperwork so we can flag potential requirements.
For residential jobs like driveways and small pads, plate compactors or walk-behind vibratory rollers are common; building pads or larger rural projects typically use sheepsfoot or heavy vibratory rollers for deeper compaction. Equipment rental for a plate compactor is usually $60 to $120 per day and small rollers $200 to $500 per day; hiring a contractor for compaction and testing can add several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on project size. Factor compaction and testing into budgets for any structural or load-bearing work.
Use this formula: Area (sq ft) x Depth (in) / 324 = cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by a local bulk density for fill dirt; in West Texas a safe planning number is about 1.25 tons per cubic yard. Example: a 12 ft x 40 ft driveway at 4 inches = (480 x 4 / 324) = about 5.9 yd3, which is roughly 7.4 tons using 1.25 tons/yd3.
Properly compacted fill dirt will remain stable for years, but West Texas storms, runoff, or freeze-thaw cycles can cause minor settlement and erosion over time. Expect occasional regrading, adding a thin topping layer, or installing erosion controls after heavy rains; vegetation or mulch helps stabilize slopes and reduce maintenance.
Fill dirt is the least expensive option for raising grade but offers poor drainage and less load-bearing capacity compared to crushed limestone or crusher run. Crushed limestone and crusher run compact into a firm, draining surface better suited for driveways and building pads; use fill dirt for bulk volume and grading, then cap with crusher run or stone for finished surfaces.
Avoid blocking natural drainage paths or filling wetland areas; poor fills can increase erosion and downstream runoff. Best practices include shaping for positive drainage, using swales or berms, installing silt fences during construction, and stabilizing exposed soil quickly with grass, seed, or erosion-control fabric.
Provide your exact address, desired delivery date, estimated quantity, preferred drop location, and any access notes (gates, low-hanging wires, narrow roads). Add a tailgate spreading request at checkout if needed, remember the 3-ton minimum, and contact our team if your site needs special handling or you suspect permits are required.
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.
