Why Crane Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Crane, West Texas, is a small but growing community: its population of 4,070 sits within a larger metro area of 2.5+ million and the area is expanding at about 1.24% annually. With 228 sunny days a year, 34.25 inches of rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners face a semi-arid climate that still demands careful grading, drainage, and stable foundations. Local construction and infrastructure activity tied to regional growth increase the need for dependable bulk materials. Homeowners choose quality aggregates like fill dirt to raise low spots, improve drainage, backfill foundations, and establish consistent bases for driveways and patios — tasks that require material contractors can compact and rely on.Popular Projects in Crane This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Crane Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Crane.
Delivery cost to Crane can vary with distance, truck size, and the supplier. In many areas Hello Gravel offers free delivery, but in rural West Texas you should expect delivery fees ranging from modest to several hundred dollars for long hauls; the exact fee appears at checkout after you enter your zip code. Contact our team for an accurate delivery estimate for your address in Crane.
Prices vary with local supply, haul distance, and material quality, but a reasonable local range is roughly $10 to $30 per ton (about $12 to $40 per cubic yard). Remote locations like Crane often fall toward the higher end due to trucking costs. Use our calculator and enter your zip code to get an exact, up-to-date quote.
For raising grades and general yard fill in arid West Texas, use clean, compactable fill dirt with low organic content and a small proportion of fines (silt/clay) to help stability. For driveway base, fill dirt alone is not ideal; place and compact fill dirt to grade, then top with a proper road base or crusher-run and a wearing course of gravel for lasting performance under traffic and sun exposure. Regional suppliers can advise on locally available blends that balance compaction and drainage.
Moisture content controls compaction; fill dirt usually compacts best at an optimum moisture level—too dry and it won't pack, too wet and it becomes weak. Clay increases cohesion and can aid compaction when moisture is right but clay-rich fills can shrink, swell, and crack in Crane’s wide temperature swings. Contractors often lightly moisten dry West Texas soils before compaction and perform compaction tests for larger projects.
Calculate volume first: 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches (0.5 ft) equals 500 cubic feet, or about 18.5 cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.0 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and density, so you would need roughly 18 to 26 tons. Order a bit extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and settling.
Hello Gravel coordinates delivery with local suppliers and contracted truck fleets; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion and can be requested at checkout. There is no guarantee of spreading since operators assess safety and site access on arrival, so include site access notes in your order and contact our team if you need spreading services or a crew to spread and grade.
Fill dirt is intended for raising grade and filling voids, not as a long-term driving surface. In Crane’s rural settings, fill dirt will compact but remains dusty and erodes without a stabilized topping; for a durable driveway use compacted fill dirt as a subgrade, then add road base and a wearing course of gravel or crusher-run. Expect routine maintenance like regrading after heavy rain if the surface is left as fill dirt.
Fill dirt is mostly subgrade material used to raise elevations and fill areas; crusher-run is mixed stone and fines that compacts into a stable base; road base is graded crushed stone designed for compaction and load-bearing. For driveways in Crane, use fill dirt for grade work, then put down road base or crusher-run for strength and a topcoat of gravel for wear and traction.
Small residential deliveries usually do not require permits, but commercial projects, large imports, or work near floodplains and waterways can trigger local, county, or state requirements. Check with the City of Crane and Ector County building or planning departments before large deliveries, and inform Hello Gravel if your job needs documentation so we can help coordinate logistics.
Costs depend on job size and local labor rates; small DIY jobs may need a rented plate compactor ($50 to $150/day) and perhaps a skid steer or bobcat (roughly $200 to $400/day), while contractor rates for grading and compaction commonly run $50 to $100+ per hour. For larger jobs a vibratory roller or professional compaction crew may be required and can increase the cost; get local quotes for the most accurate pricing.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery is 2 or more business days depending on supplier availability. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; enter your zip code at checkout to see availability and schedule a preferred delivery date.

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.
