Why Ector Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ector is a small but growing West Texas community with a city population of 940 and access to a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually and 225 sunny days each year, homeowners here prioritize low-maintenance, resilient landscaping and reliable site prep for additions or repairs. The local hardiness zone of 8b and an annual rainfall of 34.40 inches mean yards and foundations need good grading and drainage to handle both occasional heavy storms and prolonged sun exposure. That creates steady demand for cost-effective bulk materials that stabilize grades, build pads, and fill low spots—so homeowners and contractors look for consistent, locally sourced fill dirt that compacts well and supports landscaping or structural work without surprises. Fill dirt is a practical choice in Ector because it provides a stable, compactable base that resists erosion under semi-arid conditions. Good fill dirt helps control runoff after the region's 34.40 inches of rain and supports layers for driveways, patios, and foundation backfill while standing up to 225 days of sun exposure. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional dump truck crews so you get the right quantity and regional composition for your project. Order through our website, choose a delivery date, and rely on our network to deliver bulk fill dirt with clear pricing and scheduling—standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.Popular Projects in Ector This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ector Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ector.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Ector (West Texas) area commonly fall in the range of about $15 to $40 per ton, depending on haul distance, volume, and material quality. Small orders and long haul distances raise per-ton cost; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can give an exact delivered price for your zip code. Request a quote to see current local pricing and any delivery fees or next-day surcharges.
Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers serving Ector and surrounding West Texas communities, so you get regional material and truck availability. When comparing offers, look at delivered price per ton, minimum tons, material description (fines, rock content), moisture level, and lead time—ask each supplier those specifics before ordering. We can pull multiple local quotes to help you compare apples to apples.
Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. Then convert cubic yards to tons using a local conversion of about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard (moisture and compaction change the weight). For example, a 20 ft by 20 ft area at 6 inches deep is about 7.4 cubic yards, or roughly 9 to 11 tons—order slightly more to allow for settlement and compaction.
Permit and haul restrictions can apply, especially for overweight loads, long staging on public streets, or deliveries using county roads; Ector homeowners should check with the City of Ector and Ector County public works before large deliveries. Hello Gravel coordinates trucking but cannot guarantee local permit exemptions, so contact local authorities or ask our team to help verify requirements before scheduling. If permits are needed, allow extra lead time for approval.
Fill dirt is commonly used in West Texas to raise grades and fill low spots, but local climate and soil type matter: dry, high-clay mixes can shrink and crack while sandy mixes drain better. For landscape or paving projects in Ector, we recommend testing a small area, compacting in lifts, and considering a blended or granular layer on top for improved drainage and plant growth. Our team can recommend material types based on intended use and local conditions.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt can be part of a regrade that improves drainage, but by itself it is not an erosion-control solution on steep slopes. Combine fill dirt with measures like swales, berms, retaining walls, geotextiles, vegetation, or riprap to reduce runoff and erosion in West Texas storms. Ask a local contractor or Hello Gravel for material and installation recommendations tailored to your slope and drainage goals.
Contractor costs in West Texas vary by job size and access; small grading and compaction jobs commonly run from about $400 to $2,000, while larger residential lots can be several thousand dollars. Rates depend on equipment needed (skid steer, small dozer, compactor), accessibility, and whether hauling is included—ask for detailed bids showing labor, equipment, and compaction passes. We recommend getting two or three local quotes and confirming compaction specs if the area will be paved or built on.
No — fill dirt is intended for raising grade and filling voids, not as a wearing surface for driveways. For driveways and parking pads in Ector you should use crusher run, road base, or a compactable aggregate engineered for load-bearing and drainage; fill dirt can be used below those layers as subgrade if properly compacted. If you want, Hello Gravel can quote both subgrade fill dirt and the correct surface aggregate for your project.
Expect some settling after placement; light regrading or topping may be needed in the first season, especially after rare heavy rains. With proper placement in controlled lifts, compaction, and good drainage, fill dirt used as subgrade can be long-lasting, but surface layers and landscapes may require occasional maintenance. If you plan to plant or pave, leave time for settlement and consult contractors on watering and compaction best practices for West Texas conditions.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, though rural West Texas lead times can vary seasonally. Deliveries are usually made by tri-axle dump trucks (minimum order 3 tons); drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Request a delivery date at checkout and our team will confirm timing and truck access based on your property.
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.
