Why Bellaire Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bellaire is a growing West Texas community of 19,260 people within a metro area of 2.5+ million, and its 1.85% annual growth is driving steady residential and small commercial construction. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners face sun-exposed yards, occasional heavy rain events, and a need for clear grading to protect foundations and landscaping. That local climate and steady development mean more projects that require bulk earthwork — raising low areas, building level pads for sheds or patios, trench backfill, and correcting drainage. Because regional soil characteristics affect compaction and runoff, many Bellaire homeowners choose quality fill dirt to create a stable, compactable base that minimizes settling and supports long-term drainage performance when installed correctly.Popular Projects in Bellaire This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bellaire Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bellaire.
Fill dirt is inexpensive subsoil used to raise grade, fill low spots, and build up areas before landscaping or paving. In and around Bellaire it is commonly used for yard raising, trench backfill, and bringing pads up to grade where structural load-bearing is not required. It is not a final surface for driveways or patios; you should cap it with a suitable base material and finish layer for paved or high-traffic areas.
Typical delivered prices for bulk fill dirt in the West Texas Bellaire area usually range from about $10 to $30 per ton, or roughly $9 to $25 per cubic yard. Actual pricing depends on local supply, haul distance, moisture content, and whether screening is requested; use Hello Gravel's checkout to see exact delivered pricing for your zip code. Remember prices can move seasonally and by supplier, so request a quote for a firm number.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which matches many local suppliers' minimums. Flat delivery fees vary by distance and truck type; some nearby loads may include free delivery while longer hauls or smaller loads can incur a $50 to $150 delivery fee. You can see available delivery dates and any fees during checkout or call our team for a delivery estimate.
Measure length x width x depth in feet, multiply, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (L x W x D / 27 = yd3). As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard covers about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth and about 54 sq ft at 6 inches depth. Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by roughly 1.1 to 1.3 (depending on moisture and compaction), and round up for settling and waste.
For bulk yard raising, screened fill (free of organics and large debris) is a good choice because it compacts well. For driveway bases, crusher run or a well-graded aggregate is preferred because it provides strength and drainage; plain fill dirt alone is not a durable driveway surface. Clean fill (very little fines) drains well but can be harder to compact, so it is best combined with engineered base layers for driveways.
Fill dirt is suitable for raising grades and non-structural fills in Bellaire's West Texas climate, but site-specific soil behavior matters: expansive clays and caliche-like layers can cause uneven settling. For areas that support structures, driveways, or where drainage is critical, use properly compacted, engineered fill or a structural base (crushed stone) rather than raw fill dirt alone. Always remove organics and soft material, and consider geotechnical or engineering advice for critical pads or foundations.
For residential driveway bases and yard pads aim for about 90% to 95% relative compaction (Standard Proctor) unless a project engineer specifies otherwise. Place fill dirt in thin lifts (typically 4 to 6 inches loose) and compact each lift with appropriate equipment: plate compactors for thin lifts, vibratory rollers for larger areas, and sheepsfoot rollers for cohesive soils. Moisture control during placement is important—too dry or too wet soil reduces compaction efficiency.
Permit requirements vary by project type; Bellaire building and permitting offices may require engineered fill reports, compaction tests, or geotechnical documentation for foundations or major grading changes. Driveways and small yard fills often do not require formal testing, but any work affecting drainage, easements, or structural supports may trigger review. Check with the City of Bellaire building and engineering departments or your contractor early in the planning stage to confirm requirements.
Expect the majority of settlement in newly placed fill dirt during the first 6 to 12 months, with some additional gradual settling after that. For yard raising, plan on topping up low spots after initial settlement; add a thin lift rather than large patches to maintain compaction. If using fill under driveways, proper compaction and using a structural base will minimize future additions; unpaved areas may need light maintenance or regrading every few years depending on use and rainfall.
Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve the Bellaire area; many quarries and landscaping suppliers near West Texas population centers offer fill dirt and can both load and deliver. Some suppliers allow customer pickup at the quarry or yard, while most will deliver by dump truck for a fee; use Hello Gravel to check available suppliers, delivery options, and whether tailgate spreading is offered. If you need supplier recommendations or loading details, contact our team at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734.
Fill dirt is typically the least expensive option and works well for bulk raising and non-structural fills, but it does not provide the strength, drainage, or long-term wear resistance that crushed limestone or crushed concrete offer. Crushed limestone or crusher run are better choices for driveway bases and areas that carry vehicle loads because they compact tightly and shed water. Typical delivered price ranges in the Bellaire (West Texas) area are roughly $10 to $30/ton for fill dirt, $20 to $45/ton for crushed limestone, and $15 to $40/ton for crushed concrete, though exact rates vary by supplier and haul distance.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
