Why Dodd City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dodd City has a population of 980 and sits inside a West Texas region whose metro area population is 2.5+ million, growing at about 0.30% annually. With 232 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 36.50 inches, and placement in hardiness zone 8a, the local climate combines long sun exposure with periodic heavy rain that affects soil stability. Homeowners and small contractors in Dodd City often need reliable bulk materials for grading, raising low spots, backfilling foundations, and controlling erosion on rural and suburban lots. Because local soils vary—from sandy, fast-draining topsoil to denser clay—residents look for consistent fill dirt to create level grades, protect foundations, and establish reliable drainage without repeated rework. Fill dirt is a compactable, low-organic soil used to build up grades and fill voids; in Dodd City's mix of sun and rain it helps stabilize yards and pads when placed and compacted correctly. Its density improves resistance to erosion during heavy downpours and reduces settling when combined with proper layering and compaction suited to 232 sunny days per year and 36.50 inches of annual rainfall. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt, coordinates dump-truck delivery, and provides transparent pricing and guidance so projects start with the right base and progress smoothly.Popular Projects in Dodd City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dodd City Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Dodd City.
Prices vary by supplier, freight distance, and material quality, but delivered fill dirt in the West Texas area around Dodd City commonly falls in the range of $15 to $40 per ton. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and shows exact pricing when you enter your zip code; request a quote to see the local rate including delivery and any hauling fees.
Use this quick estimate: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to convert to tons (fill dirt typically weighs ~1.1–1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture). For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft area by 2 inches needs about 6.17 cubic yards or roughly 7.5–8.0 tons; order 10% extra to allow for compaction and settlement.
Yes. Many local West Texas suppliers offer screened or processed fill dirt that is free of large debris and better suited for compaction. When you place an order through Hello Gravel, add a note requesting "screened" or "compactable" material and check product descriptions or ask our team to confirm what the local supplier stocks.
Fill dirt is good for raising grade, filling low spots, and backfilling, but it is not usually the best final surface for a driveway. In Dodd City and other West Texas locations you should use fill dirt to build grade and then top with a structural base such as crushed limestone or caliche and a wearing surface to handle traffic and drainage.
Performance depends on the fill dirt's composition; sandy, granular fill compacts and drains well, while clay-rich fill holds water and can be harder to compact. In hot, dry Dodd City conditions, moisture control during placement is important for proper compaction—contractors often add water and compact in thin lifts to achieve a stable result.
For small residential jobs near Dodd City, expect contractors to charge either an hourly rate (commonly $50–$100 per hour) or a flat job fee; a modest spread-and-compact job often runs from about $300 to $800 depending on access, site prep, and equipment needed. Ask contractors for a written quote that lists mobilization, equipment, and compaction passes so you can compare accurately.
Fill dirt is primarily for raising grade and backfill; crushed limestone or local caliche are better as base materials for driveways because they compact tightly and provide structural support. In Dodd City, many homeowners use fill dirt to shape the site and then lay a crushed limestone or caliche base for drainage and load-bearing capacity.
Rules vary by municipality and county; Dodd City is small but you should still check with Dodd City Hall and Fannin County for any grading, drainage, or septic setback requirements before moving large amounts of fill. If work affects stormwater, a septic system, or neighboring property grades, obtain the required permits or approvals to avoid fines or rework.
Fill dirt areas will settle and may need topping or regrading during the first 12 months as the material consolidates, especially after wet weather. For driveways, expect to add or regrade the wearing material (crushed stone or caliche) periodically and address erosion channels after heavy rains to keep the surface stable over years.
Many local contractors and small landscaping crews in the Dodd City area will take on small residential jobs, including delivery, spreading, and compaction, though minimum order and travel fees may apply. When you request a quote through Hello Gravel, we can help connect you to suppliers and haulers and advise whether local contractors in your area typically accept smaller jobs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
