Why Combes Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Combes, West Texas, has a population of 1,516 and sits within a growing region (metro area 2.7+ million) expanding at an annual growth rate of 0.72%. With 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.32 inches, and hardiness zone 8b, local yards and job sites face cycles of sun, heat, and periodic heavy rain. That climate and steady regional growth drive steady demand for reliable earthmoving and grading materials: homeowners are updating driveways, raising low yards, and preparing pads for additions or sheds. For those projects, quality Fill Dirt matters — it provides stable bulk material for grading and structural backfill, reduces long-term settling when properly compacted, and helps keep topsoil and plant beds where they belong.Popular Projects in Combes This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Combes Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Combes.
Costs vary by supplier, truck size, and distance from the source. In Combes and other West Texas areas, fill dirt is generally one of the least expensive aggregates because it is unprocessed; get an exact price by entering your zip code on Hello Gravel or requesting a local quote. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Combes and nearby West Texas areas. Most local suppliers deliver via dump truck (typically tri-axle) and many offer delivery to residential sites; request delivery details at checkout. You can add order notes for preferred delivery location and ask about optional tailgate spreading, which drivers perform at their discretion.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.35 cubic yards, and by 6 inches about 18.52 cubic yards. Fill dirt typically converts to roughly 1.2 tons per cubic yard, so plan on about 15 tons for 4 inches and about 22 tons for 6 inches. Order an extra 10-20% to allow for compaction and settlement.
Not usually. Fill dirt is fine for raising grade or creating pads, but it does not provide a stable, erosion-resistant surface for driveways in West Texas. For driveways, contractors in the region typically recommend a compacted base with crushed stone or limestone on top for durability, drainage, and resistance to washouts.
Fill dirt can help regrade the ground so water slopes away from a foundation, which improves drainage if done correctly. However, compacted fill dirt tends to be less permeable than topsoil, so for positive drainage combine grading with proper slope, gutters, downspouts, and, when needed, gravel or drainage rock in key areas. For foundation work consult a contractor to ensure the right material and compaction specs.
If fill dirt is left exposed on driveways or paths it will usually erode, rut, or settle within months to a few years, especially during heavy rains common in South Texas storm events. Covered with a proper crushed-stone surface and good compaction, the underlying fill can last many years. For any traffic surface, top the fill with an engineered base and surfacing material for longevity.
Fill dirt is typically cheaper per ton because it is unprocessed, while crushed limestone is processed and sold as a finished aggregate, so it usually costs more. The exact difference depends on local supply and haul distance; check Hello Gravel for up-to-date quotes in your zip code to compare line-item pricing and delivery fees.
Many contractors will use compacted fill dirt for building pads if it meets compaction and material specifications, but requirements can vary by project and soil conditions in West Texas. For septic systems, local health departments and engineers often require specific materials and compaction standards, so check local rules and get a contractor or engineer recommendation before using fill dirt for septic work.
Rules vary by municipality and county; Combes is in Cameron County, and large imports of fill may trigger permitting, erosion control, or inspection requirements. Before ordering, contact the Combes city office or Cameron County permitting department to confirm any permits, placement limits, or soil testing requirements for your project.
Suppliers typically deliver fill dirt by dump truck (tri-axle or similar). Some haulers or third-party contractors offer bobcat/mini-excavator spreading or mechanical spreaders for an additional fee, and Hello Gravel lets you request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. If you need guaranteed spreading, ask for a dedicated spreading crew or equipment when you request quotes.

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.
