Why Byers Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Byers is a small West Texas town with a city population of 550 that sits in a fast-growing regional market — the surrounding metro area population is 3.0+ million and the region is expanding at a growth rate of 7.60% annually. With 245 sunny days a year, only 15.04 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 5b, local projects face strong sun, sporadic rain events, and soils that can dry and settle quickly. That combination drives demand for dependable bulk materials: homeowners planning driveway repairs, lot grading, foundation backfill, or small additions need fill materials that compact well, resist erosion during rare heavy rains, and create stable bases for landscaping or structures. Homeowners choose quality aggregates to reduce future settling, improve drainage, and avoid costly rework. Fill dirt is a dense, low-organic subsoil used to raise grades, fill depressions, and support structures. In Byers' dry, sunny climate with 15.04 inches of rain annually, properly compacted fill dirt helps prevent washouts during occasional storms and minimizes shrink-swell from surface drying. For lawns and beds, topsoil or amended soil should go over fill dirt rather than substituting for it. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt, handle scheduling, and deliver by dump truck on your chosen date. We require a 3-ton minimum, offer standard delivery in 2+ business days, and can arrange next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, helping you get the right material when you need it.Popular Projects in Byers This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Byers Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Byers.
Delivered cost for fill dirt in and around Byers varies with haul distance, truck size, and site access. Expect material plus delivery to commonly fall in a wide range; many remote West Texas jobs run from roughly $15 to $60 per ton or about $200 to $600 per truckload (10-12 cubic yards), but prices depend on local suppliers and fuel/route costs. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers free delivery in some areas, so get a zip-code-specific quote for the most accurate price.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about 166.7 cubic feet, which is roughly 6.2 cubic yards. Fill dirt generally weighs about 1.2 tons per cubic yard, so that equals about 7.4 tons before settlement. We recommend ordering 10-15% extra to allow for settlement and compaction, so plan on roughly 8.5 to 9 tons and keep Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum in mind.
Fill dirt can be used as bulk fill but is not the best finish base for a driveway in West Texas. For a durable driveway surface you should use a compactable, well-draining base such as crushed limestone or road base topped with a wearing course; those materials resist rutting and shed water better than typical fill dirt. If you must use fill dirt under the base, compact it in lifts and address drainage and frost/heave risks first.
Fill dirt will work in West Texas, but local clay soils and wide temperature swings require care. Clay can expand and shrink with moisture changes, so proper compaction, grading for drainage, and avoiding clay-rich fills near foundations are important. Conditioning the fill, compacting in thin lifts, and planning erosion control and vegetation will improve long-term performance in hot, dry conditions.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt can serve as permanent fill for grading and landscaping, but some settling is normal over months to a few years. Expect initial settlement after placement; allowing extra volume at delivery and compacting in lifts shortens the settlement period. For planted yards, add topsoil and seed or sod after final grade to stabilize the surface and reduce erosion.
For a rural driveway surface, crushed limestone (or other crushed rock base) is a better choice because it compacts tightly, sheds water, and resists washboarding. Fill dirt is useful as inexpensive bulk material to raise grades or fill low spots, but it should be covered with a structural base material if the area will carry vehicle traffic. Combining a compacted fill layer under a crushed base can be a cost-effective approach when done correctly.
Same-day delivery depends on supplier and truck availability and is not guaranteed; Hello Gravel's standard service is 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee). Small-job same-day delivery sometimes happens in areas with nearby suppliers, but you should call or check availability during checkout and note that tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Permit requirements vary by city and county, so check with your local building, planning, or road authority before importing large volumes of fill. Issues to confirm include grading permits, floodplain or drainage concerns, road-use or hauling restrictions, and environmental or dust-control rules. If you're unsure, contact Hello Gravel's sales team and your local permitting office for guidance before ordering.
Delivery pricing can be quoted per ton or per truckload; remote West Texas deliveries often cost more because of distance and limited supplier density. As a rough guide, delivery may add anywhere from a small per-ton fee for nearby loads to $30-$75 per ton or $150-$500 per truck for longer hauls, but these numbers vary widely. The most reliable approach is to get a Hello Gravel quote for your exact zip code, address, and access conditions.
Contractor costs depend on job size and equipment needed; small residential grading and compaction jobs often run from about $300 to $1,200. Hourly or daily equipment rates for a skid steer or small excavator with an operator commonly range from $75 to $150 per hour, while larger machines may be charged by the day. Get at least two local contractor estimates and clarify whether they handle site prep, compaction testing, and final grading.
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.
