Why Brenham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Brenham's city population is 26,431, and the town sits within a West Texas region with a metro area population of 2.5+ million that is growing at about 0.80% annually. With 228 sunny days each year, 35.90 inches of annual rainfall, and a Hardiness Zone of 8b, homeowners here balance plenty of sun with seasonal storms and clay-rich native soils that affect grading and drainage. That mix drives steady demand for reliable aggregates: people repairing yard grades, building garden beds, backfilling foundations, and preparing bases for patios and driveways all need materials that compact well and resist erosion. Homeowners choose quality fill dirt to cut down on future settling, reduce washouts after heavy rain, and create stable, buildable surfaces without importing expensive engineered soils. Fill dirt in Brenham is best when it is low in organic matter and easy to compact so it holds grade through wet spells and strong sun. Given the local rainfall and soil types, properly placed and compacted fill dirt helps prevent erosion and standing water around foundations and landscaping. Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and haulers so you get regionally sourced fill dirt delivered by dump truck on a schedule that fits your project. Order minimums start at 3 tons, standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request it at checkout and the driver will assess safety on arrival.Popular Projects in Brenham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Brenham Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Brenham.
Typical delivered prices for fill dirt in Brenham range from about $10 to $30 per ton (roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard), depending on quarry source, truck distance, truck size, and project access. Larger orders and local pits reduce price; same-day or next-day delivery can add fees. For an exact delivered price to your address in Brenham, request a quote through Hello Gravel or use our online calculator.
Hello Gravel works with local sand and gravel pits, landscape suppliers, and independent haulers in the Brenham area to source fill dirt. Specific quarry names and availability vary by zip code and season, so contact Hello Gravel to see currently active suppliers near you and get supplier details before ordering.
Contractors usually place fill in 4- to 8-inch lifts, moisture-condition each lift if needed, and compact using plate compactors or light rollers to reduce settlement. Common additions include geotextile fabric under weak soils, temporary grading to shed water, and final topsoil or crushed stone cap depending on the project. Ask your contractor for target lift thickness and compaction standard for your specific use.
Brenham-area clay soils can shrink, swell, and hold water, so uncompacted or organic-rich fill dirt may settle and cause poor drainage. Properly compacted, low-organic fill with good grading improves stability, but you may still need drainage solutions like swales or gravel layers to manage runoff after heavy rains. Avoid using fill dirt as a finished surface where ponding or standing water is possible.
For driveway bases, fill dirt alone is not ideal; contractors typically use a compacted road base or crusher run (crushed stone with fines) on top of compacted subgrade. For yard fill and grade raising in Brenham, choose clean fill dirt with low organic content and a mix of fines and sand for compaction and stability. If you must use fill dirt under a driveway, plan to cap it with 4–6 inches of crushed stone designed for traffic.
Large land disturbance, significant grading, or changes to drainage can require permits from the City of Brenham or Washington County, and HOAs may have covenants restricting visible grade changes or delivery staging. Before ordering more than a few truckloads, check with the City of Brenham permit office and your HOA to confirm rules and avoid rework or fines. Hello Gravel can help by flagging common permitting issues when you place an order.
A quick rule: 1 cubic yard of compacted fill dirt weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture; use 1.3 tons per cubic yard for a Brenham estimate. Example: a 12 ft by 100 ft driveway filled 6 inches deep is 1200 ft2 x 0.5 ft = 600 ft3 = 22.2 yd3, or about 29 tons (22.2 x 1.3). For raised beds or small yard patches, calculate length x width x depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by ~1.3 to estimate tons.
Yes—heavy rains and saturated ground in wet seasons can make drop sites muddy or inaccessible, and county road weight restrictions after storms may limit truck access. Plan deliveries during dry windows whenever possible; Hello Gravel lists standard lead times of 2+ business days and offers next-day delivery when available. If your site is wet, discuss staging options and extra fees with the hauler before delivery.
Fill dirt by itself is not a durable long-term driveway base in Brenham’s climate—expect rutting, settling, and erosion after heavy rains. For a long-lasting driveway, use fill dirt only as compacted subgrade and install a proper crushed stone or road base cap; this reduces maintenance to occasional regrading and adding stone every few years. If fill dirt is already in place, add drainage, compact it properly, and consider a stone topcoat to extend life.
Fill dirt is designed to raise grade and provide structural mass but contains more fines and holds water, so it performs poorly for drainage and erosion control. Crusher run or road base is engineered for load-bearing, compaction, and surface drainage; it sheds water better and resists rutting on driveways and slopes. For erosion-prone areas in Brenham, use engineered road base or add geotextile and drainage features rather than relying on raw fill dirt alone.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are typically made by local dump truck fleets (often tri-axle trucks). Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety and access on arrival. Add clear delivery notes and staging instructions in your order to help ensure a smooth drop on your Brenham property.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
