Why Barker Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Barker has a population of 224 and a growth rate of 0.00% annually. Located in West Texas, the area sees 204 sunny days per year, 48.05 inches of annual rainfall, and falls in hardiness zone 9a, creating a cycle of strong sun and episodic heavy rain that affects soil stability. Even with a small city population, nearby market demand from the broader 2.4+ million metro area drives home projects and maintenance needs. Homeowners commonly need materials for grade corrections, driveway base, foundation backfill, and landscaping transitions. Because local soils can vary, people look for quality aggregates that compact consistently, resist erosion during storms, and support plantings and structures without excessive settling. Selecting the right fill material up front reduces rework and keeps projects on schedule and within budget.Popular Projects in Barker This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Barker Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Barker.
Delivered cost for fill dirt in Barker and nearby West Texas areas varies with haul distance, quantity, and site access. Expect a rough delivered range of about $20 to $60 per ton, with lower per-ton rates on large orders and higher costs for long rural hauls or tight access. Check your zip code in our checkout for exact local pricing and any delivery fees.
For raising grades or leveling pads in hot, arid West Texas, choose clean, low-organic fill dirt that is well-graded and free of roots and debris. For finished driveway surfaces, a granular engineered base (crusher run or limestone base) is preferred over straight fill dirt because it provides better drainage, stability, and longevity. Use fill dirt to build or level grades, then cap with an appropriate base and surface material.
Loose fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard; compacted fill can be about 1.4 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on material. For 100 sq ft: 4 inches thick needs roughly 1.6 tons, 6 inches needs about 2.4 tons, and 12 inches needs about 4.8 tons (using ~1.3 tons/yd3 as a rule of thumb). Remember Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons, so small patches may require a minimum load or a mix with other materials.
Fill dirt is generally not recommended for septic drain fields; those systems usually require specified drain rock or sand and must meet county health department rules. For foundations, use engineered, tested fill placed in lifts and compacted to the engineer's specs—random fill dirt without testing can cause settling or structural issues. Always follow local permitting and a geotechnical recommendation before using fill dirt for septic or structural work.
A driveway made only of fill dirt will compact, rut, and erode more quickly in West Texas than a properly constructed gravel or crushed-stone driveway. To improve longevity, install proper drainage, grade and compact the fill in lifts, add a geotextile if needed, and top with crushed stone; expect periodic regrading and patching after heavy rains. With a crushed stone cap and good drainage, maintenance usually means occasional regrading and adding fresh stone every few years.
In clayey soils, moisture conditioning and careful lift thickness are critical because clay can be difficult to compact when too wet or too dry; compact thinner lifts (4-6 inches) and aim for consistent moisture. Sandy soils compact more easily but may require higher compaction effort to reach required density and may need stabilization to control erosion. In both cases, contractors typically compact in thin lifts with heavy equipment and follow target density figures from the project engineer or local guidelines.
Fill dirt is useful for raising or leveling grades but is not a good finished driving surface because it compacts and erodes. Crusher run and limestone base are engineered to lock together, provide drainage, and support traffic, making them the preferred base and surfacing materials for residential driveways in Barker. A common approach is structural fill to set grades, then a compacted crusher-run or limestone base topped with surface stone for long-term performance.
Contractors and inspectors typically look for low organic content, no topsoil, absence of construction debris, and information on particle size and clay content; some projects require a geotechnical report or compaction certificate. Building and septic permits often specify acceptable materials and compaction levels, so check with your local city or county permitting office before ordering. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers who can confirm whether a specific fill source meets common contractor and permitting requirements.
