Why Dimmitt Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dimmitt is a small but growing West Texas community of 4,000 residents that sees steady development as the region expands at about 0.40% annually. With 228 sunny days each year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance hot, sunny months with enough seasonal rain to make drainage and grading important. As houses, driveways, and landscape projects move forward, demand for reliable aggregates grows: homeowners need material that compacts predictably, supports foundations and hardscapes, and helps control erosion during wet periods. Quality Fill Dirt reduces future settling, creates consistent grades for drainage, and makes site preparation faster and less costly than trying to blend inconsistent native soils.Popular Projects in Dimmitt This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dimmitt Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Dimmitt.
Typical delivered prices in Dimmitt vary with supplier and haul distance, but expect a rough range of $8 to $18 per ton (about $10 to $24 per cubic yard using local density). Factors that change price include load size, moisture content, delivery distance from the source, and whether you need spreading. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact pricing and available local suppliers.
Dimmitt soils often contain clay and caliche; clay can hold water and shrink or swell, while caliche can be hard and improve bearing but reduce drainage. Pure fill dirt placed over clay or caliche can trap water or settle unevenly, so it may need blending with granular material or proper drainage to perform well. Consider a soils test for structural work and plan for drainage and compaction strategies accordingly.
For structural areas like building pads or driveway subgrades aim for 90% to 95% of standard proctor density, achieved in lifts of about 6 to 8 inches. Small yard repairs can be compacted with a heavy plate compactor or walk-behind roller, while larger areas typically need a tow-behind or 8,000–15,000 lb vibratory roller or sheepsfoot drum. Hire a local contractor for larger jobs or when permits require a compaction report.
Local suppliers typically include dirt farms, construction supply yards, and aggregate operations servicing Castro County; Hello Gravel partners with those local haulers to schedule deliveries. Residential orders commonly get delivered in 2+ business days, with next-day options available for orders placed before noon CST; commercial or large loads can take 3 to 7 business days depending on availability. Minimum order through Hello Gravel is 3 tons, and lead times depend on supplier location and truck schedules.
Extreme heat and dry conditions in West Texas can cause minor shrinkage, while sudden heavy rains can cause surface erosion and settling where fill is loose or uncompacted. Proper compaction, grading to direct water away, and a surface layer (gravel or sod) greatly reduce erosion and long-term settlement. For driveways and pads, a granular surface or engineered base is recommended to protect the underlying fill.
A practical conversion for Dimmitt is to use about 1.3 tons per cubic yard of typical local fill dirt (range 1.2 to 1.5 tons/yd3 depending on moisture and caliche). To calculate: multiply area in square feet by desired depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by 1.3 to estimate tons. Example: raising a 1,000 sq ft area by 6 inches = (1,000 * 0.5) / 27 = 18.5 yd3, roughly 24 tons; add 5–10% for settling and compaction losses.
Fill dirt is the lowest-cost option but is not a durable wearing surface; it settles and can rut under traffic, especially in wet spells. Crushed limestone or a compacted engineered base provides a stable, long-lasting driveway surface with better drainage and load-bearing capacity. For best longevity, use fill dirt only to raise grade, then cap with crushed stone or an engineered base; the higher upfront cost of engineered base usually pays off in less maintenance.
Permit needs vary: simple yard grading or small fills often do not require a permit, but building pads, major grade changes, or anything affecting drainage typically do require permits from the City of Dimmitt or Castro County. HOA rules may also restrict driveway materials, surface appearance, or grading work, so check your HOA guidelines before ordering. Contact the local building department and your HOA early to confirm requirements and any compaction or inspection paperwork.
Make clear notes at checkout about the preferred dump location, access constraints, low-hanging wires, and driveway width; trucks are typically tri-axle dump trucks and need adequate room to enter and dump. If you want tailgate spreading request it at checkout, but the driver will decide if it can be done safely on arrival. Walk the site with your supplier or hauler beforehand and plan staging, erosion controls, and protective measures for landscaping and utilities to avoid surprises on delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
