Why Cresson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cresson, with a city population of 2,570, sits in West Texas and is experiencing steady development with a growth rate of 0.70% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—shapes yard and site work: long dry spells alternate with enough seasonal rain to require thoughtful grading and drainage. Homeowners here are doing more grading, driveway work, and yard reshaping as lots fill and new construction continues, so demand for dependable aggregates is rising. Quality materials matter because clean, well-graded fill prevents uneven settling, improves drainage around foundations, and gives a stable base for landscaping, patios, and driveways.Popular Projects in Cresson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cresson Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cresson.
Typical delivered prices for basic fill dirt in the Cresson/West Texas area commonly range from about $10 to $25 per ton, or roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard depending on density. Prices vary with local supply, haul distance, job size, and whether the material is screened or contains large rocks; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with next-day available for a fee.
Local fill dirt in the Cresson area is usually sourced from nearby quarries, borrow pits, and aggregate yards around Granbury, Weatherford, Cleburne, and portions of Hood and Johnson counties. Exact supplier names and availability change by zip code; use Hello Gravel to check local suppliers and current inventory for your delivery area.
Contractors in the Cresson area typically strip vegetation, place fill in 4- to 8-inch lifts, and compact each lift using plate compactors for small areas or a roller for larger pads. They monitor moisture during placement (wetting dry soil slightly before compaction) and aim for consistent lift thickness to reduce future settling; engineered fill and compaction testing are used for structural pads.
For stability in West Texas, a well-graded fill with a mix of sand, silt, and some clay (select or engineered fill) performs better than loose, organics-rich topsoil. Pure clay can shrink and swell with moisture changes, while very sandy fills drain quickly but may not compact well; contractors often prefer select fill or structural fill specified for compaction and drainage needs.
Calculate volume in cubic yards: area (sq ft) x depth (inches) ÷ 324. Convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by the material density (typical fill dirt density = about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard). For example, a 50 ft x 50 ft area raised 6 inches is about 46 yd3, or roughly 55 to 65 tons; use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a quick estimate.
Permit requirements vary by project type and location; small grading or landscaping fills often do not require a permit, but building pads, septic system work, large landfills, or work in regulated floodplain areas may trigger county or city permits. Contact the City of Cresson permit office or Hood County building and floodplain authorities before ordering large volumes to confirm local rules.
Fill dirt is inexpensive and fine for raising grades or building non-traffic areas, but it does not provide the drainage, bearing, or long-term durability that crushed limestone or crush-and-run offers for driveways. For West Texas driveways, crushed stone bases are preferred because they compact tightly and shed water, reducing rutting and maintenance compared with bare fill dirt.
Unstabilized fill-dirt driveways typically need grading and material addition every 1 to 3 years depending on traffic and rainfall; ruts and erosion are common after heavy rains. A properly compacted building pad with engineered fill can remain stable for many years, but drainage control and occasional inspections are still recommended in Cresson’s flash-flood-prone areas.
Yes—local landscapers, dirt contractors, and small excavation firms commonly offer hauling, spreading, and compaction; Hello Gravel also coordinates contracted haulers. Costs vary by job size and equipment: expect small spreads to run a few hundred dollars and larger jobs with a skid steer or roller to be several hundred to a few thousand dollars; typical hourly equipment/operator rates are often $75 to $150, but get written quotes for accurate pricing.
Yes. Summer heat in Cresson dries soil quickly, which can make compaction harder unless moisture is managed, while heavy rains in spring or fall increase erosion and make placement difficult. Plan bulk earthwork for moderate-weather periods, control moisture during compaction, and use erosion control (silt fence, straw) if rain or flash-flood risk exists.
Order engineered or select fill when you are building foundations, driveway bases, retaining walls, septic pads, or any load-bearing structure where compaction and material properties matter. These materials are screened and graded to meet compaction specifications and are worth the extra cost for reduced settling and code compliance on structural projects.
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.
