The local West Texas climate — 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — creates a mix of dry spells and seasonal runoff that drives demand for reliable site work.

Frequently Asked Questions - Burleson Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Burleson.
Fill dirt is mostly mineral soil with little organic matter, used to raise grade, fill holes, and create building pads. Topsoil contains organic material and is intended to support plants, so it is darker and better for lawns and gardens. In Burleson and West Texas, local fill dirt often includes caliche or clay, so expect it to be heavier and less plant-friendly than topsoil.
Fill dirt is usually cheaper per ton than crushed stone or gravel, but it is not a good surface material for driveways. For a stable driveway you should use fill dirt only to build grade, then add and compact a proper gravel or crushed stone base. Many Burleson homeowners save money by using fill dirt for grading and buying less expensive gravel for the surface.
For wet areas, sand can sometimes improve drainage, but clean granular fill or structural fill that sheds water is generally better than ordinary sand. Local West Texas soils can contain clay and caliche that hold water, so choosing a free-draining fill helps prevent long-term saturation. Contact our team to compare local supplier options and pick the right material for your site conditions.
No—fill dirt can be compacted to become firm, but it will not harden like concrete. If you need a solid, paved surface consider concrete, asphalt, or a stabilizer-treated base. For non-paved areas, proper compaction in lifts and using a granular base will create a stable surface without expecting concrete-like strength.
Prices vary by supplier, truck distance, and quantity, so costs in Burleson depend on local availability and delivery logistics. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and shows transparent pricing at checkout; our minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST. For an accurate price, get a quote through our site or call our team with your zip code and project details.
Load size varies by truck: typical small single-axle trucks hold about 5-6 cubic yards, while tri-axle dump trucks commonly used by Hello Gravel deliver about 10-12 cubic yards. Depending on material density that equals roughly 10-15 tons per tri-axle load. We list truck type and estimated yards during checkout so you know what to expect for delivery.
Coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of fill dirt is about 0.8 cubic yards and will cover roughly 80-100 square feet at a 3-inch depth, or about 40-50 square feet at a 6-inch depth. For accurate estimates for your Burleson project use our material calculator or contact our team with dimensions and target depth.
No—2 inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway and is not recommended as a driving surface. Driveways typically require several inches of compacted base (4-8 inches of crushed stone) plus a durable surface layer. Use fill dirt only to establish grade, then add the appropriate base and surface materials for a long-lasting driveway.
For wet areas, choose free-draining, inorganic fill such as clean sand or granular structural fill rather than clay-rich fill dirt. Proper grading, a drainage plan, and possibly geotextile fabric will help keep the area dry and stable. If you have recurring saturation on your Burleson property, have a contractor or our team review the site to recommend the right material and drainage approach.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet; a typical wheelbarrow holds about 3 cubic feet. That means one cubic yard of fill dirt will fill roughly nine wheelbarrows. Keep that in mind when planning small DIY moves versus ordering a truck delivery.
To reduce cost, buy locally, order larger quantities, and compare suppliers through a single marketplace like Hello Gravel to find competitive rates. Ask suppliers about reclaimed or construction-grade fill if that suits your project, and confirm delivery fees since hauling distance affects price in West Texas. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so combine smaller jobs when possible to reach that threshold and avoid multiple delivery charges.
For very small areas you can use a hand tamper or rented plate compactor to achieve reasonable compaction, but larger projects require a plate compactor or roller for proper results. Compact in thin lifts (4-6 inches) and test for settlement before final grading. If in doubt, hire a local contractor experienced with West Texas soils to ensure stable compaction.
It can if the fill contains organic material or is not placed and compacted properly; poorly prepared fill can settle and cause drainage issues. Use clean, inorganic fill, compact in lifts, and leave time for settlement or overbuild slightly to account for it. For sites in Burleson with known drainage challenges, include grading and drainage solutions when ordering fill dirt.
Calculate volume by multiplying area by depth: for example, 1,000 sq ft at 6-inch depth (0.5 ft) needs about 500 cubic feet, or 18.5 cubic yards, which is roughly 22-23 tons of fill dirt. Depth changes the total significantly, so use our online calculator or provide your project dimensions to get a precise quote and delivery plan for Burleson.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
