Why Caddo Mills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Caddo Mills has a city population of 11,300 and sits inside a fast-growing West Texas region with a metro area population of 2.7+ million and a growth rate of 4.20% annually. That steady expansion, combined with local climate—228 sunny days annually, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners are taking on more patios, raised beds, driveway rebuilds, and grading projects. Those jobs need consistent, well-performing earth to build on, which is why quality Fill Dirt is in demand: it provides stable bulk material for raising low spots, building pads, and backfilling around foundations. Homeowners value fill that compacts predictably and matches local soil behavior to minimize future settling and drainage problems.Popular Projects in Caddo Mills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Caddo Mills Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Caddo Mills.
Prices vary with supplier, quantity, and distance, but expect delivered fill dirt in the Caddo Mills area to run roughly $10 to $30 per ton (or about $12 to $36 per cubic yard) as a general range. Local availability, moisture content, and screening will affect price; request a live quote for your zip code to get an exact delivered price. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows delivery options and fees up front during checkout.
Hello Gravel's platform lists a 3-ton minimum order. Many local suppliers include free delivery for nearby jobs, but delivery fees of $0 to $150 can apply depending on distance, truck type, and access; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Always check your checkout quote for the exact fee and delivery date options.
Yes, contractors routinely compact fill dirt in West Texas, but proper technique is critical because local clay and shrink-swell soils can hold water and settle. Small areas are compacted with plate compactors or jumping rammers; larger areas use ride-on vibratory rollers or tandem smooth-drum rollers, often in multiple passes with moisture control. For structural pads contractors commonly aim for a high compaction standard (consult your engineer), and they may place fill in thin lifts (4-8 inch layers) for best results.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grades, filling low spots, and general yard work, but it is not ideal as the final structural base for driveways or building slabs in clay-prone Caddo Mills soils. For driveways and building pads, contractors usually place a well-compacting engineered base (crushed limestone or road base) beneath the surface to improve load bearing and drainage, then top with a wearing surface. If you plan to use fill dirt under a structural pad, have an engineer or contractor specify compaction tests and suitable base materials.
Using a typical fill dirt weight of about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, you can expect roughly: 2" depth = 0.007 to 0.009 tons per sq ft (about 7.5 to 9 tons per 1,000 sq ft). 4" depth = 0.015 to 0.018 tons per sq ft (about 15 to 18 tons per 1,000 sq ft). 6" depth = 0.022 to 0.027 tons per sq ft (about 22 to 27 tons per 1,000 sq ft). Use these ranges when ordering and round up to allow for compaction and spreading loss.
Fill dirt is primarily for bulk volume: raising grade, filling holes, and landscaping where strength and drainage are not critical. Crushed limestone and engineered base materials are designed to compact tightly and provide load-bearing capacity and drainage for driveways and building pads. For Caddo Mills projects, the common approach is to use fill dirt for mass fill and then place a layer of compacted base material where structural support is required.
As a structural base, fill dirt can settle and rut over time, especially under vehicle traffic and during heavy rains common in North Texas. Expect to do periodic grading, add new material, and recompact as needed; for light-use surfaces check annually and for driveways plan on adding a wearing layer (gravel or paving) and occasional topups every 1-3 years. For yard fill, permanence depends on compaction and drainage—properly placed and compacted fill can be long lasting but may still settle and require spot fixes.
Small landscaping fills usually do not require county permits, but septic system backfill must comply with Collin County Public Health and local septic regulations, and large grading or earthwork (often over one acre of disturbance) may trigger permit or stormwater requirements. Before large fills or septic work, check Collin County permitting and health department rules or consult a local contractor or engineer to confirm whether a permit, inspection, or engineered plans are needed.
Many suppliers in the region offer both screened (cleaner, fewer rocks and debris) and unscreened fill dirt; screened material costs more but is easier to work with. Some suppliers and contracted haulers offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion and third-party contractors can provide full spreading and compaction. When ordering through Hello Gravel, add your preferences in Order Notes and request spreading; the driver will assess whether it can be done safely, but full spreading/compaction services should be confirmed with the supplier or a local contractor ahead of delivery.
Rates vary by job size and scope, but small hauling and spreading jobs in the area often run about $50 to $150 per hour for equipment plus labor, or roughly $5 to $15 per ton for larger, straightforward deliveries and spreading. Larger projects commonly get volume discounts and may be priced as a lump-sum mobilization plus per-ton charge. Get multiple local quotes and confirm exactly what services (hauling, dumping, spreading, compaction) are included before hiring.
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.
