Why Bullard Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bullard, West Texas is a growing community of 14,220 residents seeing steady development at a 2.50% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days per year and about 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners and builders face both intense sun exposure and occasional heavy rains that affect soil behavior and landscaping choices. That steady growth is creating demand for grading, foundation backfill, driveway builds, and yard repairs. Many homeowners look for reliable fill dirt to raise low spots, create level building pads, backfill around foundations, and correct drainage. Quality fill dirt that compacts well reduces settling, helps control erosion during storm events, and speeds up project timelines—important needs across Bullard and the surrounding 2.5+ million metro area.Popular Projects in Bullard This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bullard Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bullard.
Delivered fill dirt in Bullard commonly falls in the range of about $12 to $30 per cubic yard, which translates roughly to $13 to $40 per ton depending on moisture and composition. Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and truck size; heavy, wet clay runs higher and dry, sandy fill runs lower. For an exact delivered price for your address and quantity, get a quote through our site so local suppliers can confirm current rates.
Most local haulers use tri-axle dump trucks that deliver about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose (roughly 11 to 16 tons depending on moisture and composition). Larger end-dump trucks can carry 15 to 20 cubic yards. Hello Gravel sets a 3-ton minimum order, so small projects often require at least a partial truckload or sharing a load with a neighbor.
Fill dirt sold in this area is usually low in organic matter and made up of clayey silt, some sand, and occasional small rock or caliche. Clay-rich mixes compact well and support loads but drain slowly, while sandier mixes drain better but may require different compaction steps. If you need good drainage under a slab or driveway, ask for a sandier or engineered base rather than plain fill dirt.
Compact fill dirt in 6- to 8-inch lifts using a plate compactor for small areas and a vibratory roller or jumping jack for larger or deeper fills. For structural support under slabs and paved driveways, aim for about 90-95% relative compaction (per standard Proctor tests) as required by many building codes; less-critical backfill can be 85-90%. Always moisten and rework overly dry or overly wet soil before compacting, and follow any local inspector or engineer guidance for your project.
Use the rule: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. For 100 sq ft that equals about 0.62 yd3 at 2", 1.23 yd3 at 4", 1.85 yd3 at 6", and 3.70 yd3 at 12". In tons (fill dirt commonly 1.1 to 1.35 tons per yd3 depending on moisture), expect roughly 0.7 to 0.8 tons for 2", 1.4 to 1.7 tons for 4", 2.0 to 2.5 tons for 6", and 4.1 to 5.0 tons for 12"; order a little extra for settlement and compaction losses.
Hot, dry conditions speed drying and shrinkage of clay-rich fills, which can cause cracks and additional settling if not compacted correctly. Very dry soil can be hard to compact effectively without moisture conditioning, while sudden rains after placement can cause erosion on exposed slopes. Work in lifts with proper moisture control, cover or seed exposed areas quickly, and use erosion controls on slopes to limit washouts during heavy storms.
Small deliveries for minor grading are often fine, but larger projects that change drainage, add more than a few yards, or alter lot elevations may require a city grading permit or county approval in Bullard and Smith/Cherokee county areas. Many HOAs have rules about visible gravel, changed grades, or delivery piles, so check your HOA guidelines and contact Bullard City Hall or your county permitting office for specifics before ordering. When in doubt, ask for guidance from your contractor or local building department to avoid fines or rework.
Plain fill dirt is economical and good for leveling and non-structural backfill, but it usually lacks the drainage and load-bearing qualities of crushed limestone or road base. Crushed limestone or road base is compactable and stable for driveways and under slabs, so it is typically recommended as the final structural layer. Contractor-grade engineered fill is tested and blended for predictable performance where code or engineers require it; use fill dirt primarily for bulk fill and non-structural uses.
Some local suppliers and independent contractors in the Bullard area offer tailgate spreading and basic spreading at the driver's discretion; Hello Gravel allows you to request spreading at checkout but it is not guaranteed. Professional spreading and mechanical compaction are commonly billed separately and can range from about $50 to $250+ depending on the scope, with heavy machine work or rollers costing more. For accurate pricing, request add-on spreading or compaction services when you get your delivery quote.
Lay a permeable geotextile fabric over compacted fill where you want long-term stability, then cover with 2 to 3 inches of crushed rock or gravel to reduce weeds and erosion. For slopes, install check erosion blankets, straw and seed, or quick-establishing native groundcovers, and add diversion swales or drainage to move water away from bare soil. Regular maintenance, edging, and a thin top layer of rock or mulch will limit weeds while reducing dust in Bullard's dry climate.
Measure your area and use the material calculator on our site, then allow for 5-10% extra for compaction and settlement on fills. Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons, standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST, and you can add spreading requests at checkout though drivers decide safety and feasibility on-site. If you have structural work, confirm compaction requirements with your engineer or inspector before finalizing material type and quantity.
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.
