Why Canyon Lake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Canyon Lake is a growing Texas Hill Country community with 19,940 residents and an annual growth rate of 2.80%. With 230 sunny days a year, 32.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners are investing in outdoor living, property improvements, and site work that requires dependable materials. As lots are graded, driveways installed, and drainage improvements made, demand rises for bulk aggregates that help control erosion, raise low areas, and form stable bases for patios, sheds, and retaining walls. Homeowners and small contractors in the area often look for affordable, locally sourced fill materials that match regional soil conditions and perform well through Texas sun and seasonal rains.Popular Projects in Canyon Lake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Canyon Lake Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Canyon Lake.
Expect a delivered price range of roughly $8 to $20 per ton in the Canyon Lake area, with most residential jobs falling between $10 and $16 per ton depending on supplier and site access. Final price depends on truck access, distance from the pit, minimum order size, and any spreading or special placement requests. Use your zip code to get an exact Hello Gravel quote before ordering.
For backfill and general grade work in Canyon Lake's clay soils, choose clean fill dirt with low organic content and few roots so it compacts reliably. For driveways or areas that must drain, blend or specify a mix that includes coarse sand or small gravel, or use a road base/crushed limestone layer on top—plain fill dirt alone is not ideal for a finished driving surface. Tell your supplier about clay conditions so they can recommend the right material mix.
Schedule deliveries during expected dry windows—late spring and early fall can be wetter in the Texas Hill Country, so check local forecasts before booking. Avoid placing fill on saturated ground because wet soil compacts poorly and is at higher risk of erosion or washout in storms. If your site is near floodplain or steep slope, allow extra time for erosion control measures and discuss timing with your contractor.
You may need permits for large fills, land disturbance, or work within regulated floodplain or drainage easements in Comal County, especially close to Canyon Lake. Check with Comal County Development Services and any local HOA or lake authority before hauling material to confirm requirements and setbacks. When in doubt, contact county permitting and include permit questions when you request a Hello Gravel quote.
Using a typical compacted fill weight of about 1.35 tons per cubic yard, you need roughly 0.0125 tons per sq ft at 3" depth, 0.025 tons per sq ft at 6", and 0.05 tons per sq ft at 12". That converts to about 1.25, 2.5, and 5 tons for 100 sq ft, or about 12.5, 25, and 50 tons for 1,000 sq ft respectively. Always add 5-15% extra for compaction and waste depending on site conditions.
Hello Gravel connects you with local producers and contracted haulers that deliver fill dirt around Canyon Lake and Comal County. For compaction and grading, hire a local excavation or site-prep contractor—many offer compacting and grading services but confirm licensing and equipment. Ask Hello Gravel sales for contractor recommendations in your zip code if you need help finding a compaction crew.
Place fill in shallow lifts, typically 6 to 8 inches, and compact each layer thoroughly with a plate compactor or roller to achieve a stable base. For structures or heavier loads, request engineered or tested compaction and obtain a proctor test requirement from your contractor or inspector. Include subgrade preparation, proper drainage, and, where appropriate, geotextile fabric to limit contamination and improve stability.
Fill dirt settles more and drains more slowly than crushed limestone or road base, so it is more prone to erosion and rutting on slopes. Crushed limestone or engineered road base is generally a better choice for driveways and high-traffic sloped areas because it locks together, sheds water, and compacts to a firmer surface. For building pads on slopes, engineered fill with proper compaction is preferred over plain fill dirt.
A plain fill-dirt surface will typically require regular grading and spot additions after heavy rains; plan on light maintenance every 6-18 months depending on traffic and storm exposure. Without a stabilizing top layer (gravel or road base), a fill-dirt driveway will deteriorate faster—adding a proper gravel or limestone surfacing will greatly extend life and reduce upkeep. Budget for periodic material top-ups and grading after seasonal storms.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, and many suppliers begin offering noticeable bulk pricing discounts around 10 to 20 tons. Delivery fees depend on distance from the source, access to your site, truck size, and any special placement needs; some areas may qualify for free delivery while next-day service or difficult access will add fees. Get an itemized quote with your zip code so you can compare material, delivery, and any optional spreading fees.

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.
