Why Donna Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Donna is a growing West Texas city with a city population of 46,650 and a metro area population of 865,000, seeing continued demand for housing and infrastructure with an annual growth rate of 1.50%. The local climate — an annual rainfall of 22.00 inches, about 265 sunny days per year, and Hardiness Zone 9b — shapes outdoor projects and construction choices. Homeowners and small contractors in Donna are tackling new builds, yard regrades, and drainage fixes more often, so they need reliable, structurally sound materials. Fill Dirt is often chosen because it provides a stable, low-organic base for grading, foundation backfill, and building up low spots where long-term settlement and drainage control matter most. In Donna’s semi-arid setting, Fill Dirt works well as a firm, compactable layer that helps establish proper slopes and prevents erosion during sudden rains. Its low-organic content reduces future shrinkage and settling compared with topsoil, making it a practical choice for site prep and utility trenches in this climate. Hello Gravel connects Donna homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers to deliver regionally sourced Fill Dirt by dump truck, with clear pricing, a minimum order of 3 tons, standard delivery in 2+ business days, and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST. Request tailgate spreading at checkout; drivers may perform it at their discretion based on site safety.Popular Projects in Donna This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Donna Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Donna.
In Donna, TX, delivered fill dirt commonly ranges from about $10 to $20 per ton, depending on supplier, truck access, and order size. Prices can be lower for large contractor loads and higher for tight access, long hauls, or if imported material is needed.
Hello Gravel connects you with local Donna and Hidalgo County suppliers rather than listing specific companies here. Minimum order sizes vary by supplier but expect a common minimum of about 3 tons for retail deliveries; contractors usually order higher volumes and can get better pricing.
Fill dirt will compact in West Texas clay and caliche mixes, but performance depends on moisture, lift thickness, and compaction equipment. Clay and caliche can be sticky or very hard; contractors usually place thin lifts (4-8 inches loose), adjust moisture, and use a roller or sheepsfoot to reach good density.
Standard delivery via Hello Gravel is usually 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for a fee. Rural or hard-to-access sites may incur additional fuel, mileage, or access charges and could add a day or two to lead time depending on supplier routing.
Small amounts of fill dirt for grading or driveways typically do not require a permit, but larger grading, changes to drainage, or filling in regulated areas may trigger city or county permits. Check with the City of Donna Building Department and Hidalgo County Permits before significant fills, and always confirm if your property is in a floodplain or an easement.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards of fill dirt. That converts to roughly 15 to 20 tons depending on soil moisture and how tightly it will be compacted; ask your Hello Gravel order specialist for a site-specific estimate.
Loose fill dirt by itself is susceptible to washout during heavy summer storms common in southern Texas if slopes are steep or not compacted. Reduce erosion risk by compacting properly, using erosion control measures (silt fence, mulch, seed, geotextile), or capping fill with rock or vegetation.
For most residential jobs around Donna, a plate compactor or jumping jack works well in confined areas, while a small vibratory roller or 3-point sheepsfoot roller is recommended for larger lifts and clayey fill. Contractors often place 4-8 inch lifts and compact each lift to achieve required density; moisture conditioning is important for best results.
Yes, fill dirt prices and availability in West Texas can vary with the construction season and weather. Demand typically rises in spring and summer, and heavy rains or wet winters can slow quarrying and deliveries, which may push prices up or extend lead times.
Fill dirt is a low-cost option for raising grade or creating a subgrade but it offers poor drainage and less load-bearing capacity compared with crushed limestone or base rock. For driveways and parking pads in Donna, use fill dirt only to build grade, then install and compact a layer of base rock or crushed limestone on top for long-term stability and drainage.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
