Why Dumas Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dumas, West Texas, has a city population of 15,010 and sits within a metro area of 2.5+ million. The region's steady annual growth rate of 0.68% is driving more homebuilding, landscaping, and infrastructure projects, which raises demand for dependable bulk materials. With about 260 sunny days per year and average annual rainfall of 20.23 inches in a USDA hardiness zone of 8a, homeowners face hot, dry summers and periodic heavy storms—conditions that make proper grading and soil stability important. Local projects like driveways, yard grading, and foundation backfill require consistent, compactable materials so results last through seasonal extremes and ongoing development.Popular Projects in Dumas This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dumas Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Dumas.
A tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10-12 cubic yards of fill dirt (roughly 12-18 tons depending on moisture). In West Texas markets like Dumas, delivered prices commonly fall in the range of about $20-$40 per cubic yard, but final cost depends on supplier, haul distance, and order size; request a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price. Note our minimum order is 3 tons and that larger orders often lower the per-yard cost.
Fill dirt is subsoil with low organic matter used to build up grade and provide structural support, while black topsoil is rich in organic material for planting and lawns. In Dumas' Panhandle climate and soils, use fill dirt to raise or level areas and then cap with 4-6 inches of topsoil or compost for any planting or turf so vegetation will establish.
Two inches of loose fill dirt may help smooth minor depressions, but it is generally not enough for lasting grade changes or structural support. For reliable results you should place and compact fill dirt in 4-inch lifts, and for driveway subgrades plan on 6-8 inches of compacted material plus a rock base to handle traffic and local freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycles.
Example calculation: a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide area with a 4-inch finished depth needs about 2.5 cubic yards of fill dirt (20 x 10 x 0.333 ft = 66.7 cubic feet = 2.47 cubic yards). Allow for compaction and grading inefficiency by adding 10-20% extra, and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order—use our material calculator or request a quote for exact quantities for your Dumas project.
No—fill dirt compacts and can become firm, especially when the local clay dries, but it will not harden or bind like concrete. For a durable, traffic-bearing surface in Dumas, use compacted crushed rock or stabilized base materials with proper compaction; consider geotextile fabric and drainage measures for longer life.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, which covers about 324 square feet at a 1-inch depth and about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth. Keep in mind local compaction in Dumas can reduce loose volume by roughly 5-15%, so plan for slightly more material than the loose-volume calculation indicates.
Fill dirt itself does not repel insects or burrowing pests. Proper compaction, good drainage, and finishing with gravel or topsoil help reduce conditions that attract pests; for structures, maintain recommended clearances and moisture control to limit termite and rodent issues common in the region.
Provide clear drop location, site access notes (driveway width, gates, overhead lines), and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider it (drivers perform spreading at their discretion). Schedule delivery at least 2 business days out or request next-day before noon CST, and contact Hello Gravel if you need to change the order since regional suppliers and truck scheduling affect fulfillment.
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.
