Why Calvert Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Calvert, West Texas, has a population of 1,190 and sits within a metro area of 264,297, with steady growth at 0.81% annually. The local climate averages 203 sunny days per year, receives 40.25 inches of rain annually, and falls in hardiness zone 8b. That mix of strong sun, occasional heavy rainfall, and gradual population growth keeps a steady pipeline of yard, driveway, and foundation projects in motion as homeowners maintain and upgrade properties. Homeowners and contractors in Calvert look for dependable aggregates to correct grade, support patios and driveways, improve drainage, and stabilize slopes. Because regional soils can settle or erode without proper material and installation, many residents prioritize locally sourced fill dirt, clear quantity guidance, and trusted delivery options to keep projects on schedule and perform well through seasonal weather changes.Popular Projects in Calvert This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Calvert Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Calvert.
In Calvert and surrounding West Texas areas, fill dirt typically runs lower than topsoil or decorative gravel; expect roughly $10 to $25 per ton delivered depending on haul distance and supplier. Exact price depends on your zip code, the amount you order (minimum 3 tons through Hello Gravel), and whether trucking or offload conditions add fees.
Most local dump trucks (tri-axle) deliver about 10 to 14 tons of fill dirt per load, depending on moisture and compaction. Hello Gravel lists a 3-ton minimum order, so larger projects often come on one or more truckloads priced per ton.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve Calvert and the broader West Texas region; use our site and enter your zip code to see available yards and delivery options. Common sources include landscape material yards, construction site returns, and regional quarries, and Hello Gravel will schedule delivery with local drivers.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards, roughly 11 tons of fill dirt; for 6 inches that doubles to about 18.5 cubic yards or roughly 22 tons. Always order 5% to 10% extra to account for settlement and compaction.
Fill dirt is useful for grading and bringing levels up but is generally not the best finished base for driveways or RV pads on expansive West Texas clays. For long-term performance, use a well-compacted structural base like crusher-run or engineered road base with a gravel wearing surface, and place fill dirt only as subgrade material after proper compaction and moisture control.
Permit and HOA rules vary; many municipalities and HOAs require approval for driveway changes, major grading, or large deliveries. Before ordering, check with Calvert city hall or Robertson County building department and your HOA to confirm any permits, driveway approach regulations, or setback restrictions.
For a durable residential driveway in Calvert's clay soils, build a structural base of at least 6 to 12 inches of compacted road base or aggregate placed in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compacted to recommended density (often 95% of standard proctor). Use a plate compactor for small areas and a vibratory roller for larger areas, and consider geotextile fabric over soft spots to improve stability.
Loose fill dirt can erode during heavy rains and does not drain as well as engineered aggregates; on sloped lots you should compact fill, grade to shed water away from structures, and add drainage measures like swales, French drains, or riprap. For erosion control, finish exposed areas with rock armoring, vegetation, or crushed stone rather than leaving bare fill dirt.
A driveway built primarily on fill dirt will usually need more frequent maintenance than one with a proper aggregate base: expect periodic grading and adding material every 1 to 3 years, especially after heavy rains. With a properly engineered base and surface stone, a gravel driveway can last 10 to 20 years; using fill dirt only as subgrade and following compaction and drainage best practices will lengthen service life.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
