Why El Campo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
El Campo is a community of 16,000 in West Texas that sits within a growing regional market—its metro area exceeds 2.5+ million residents and the city is expanding at about 1.25% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, a warm USDA hardiness zone 8b climate, and moderate annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, homeowners here are often investing in outdoor projects that require reliable earthwork: driveway build-ups, yard regrading, foundation backfill, and landscaping berms. As lots are developed or renovated, consistent, clean aggregates become essential to prevent settling, encourage proper drainage, and provide a stable base for turf, patios, or structures. Because local geology and soil composition vary across West Texas, homeowners prefer materials sourced nearby that match compaction and drainage expectations—reducing the risk of future repairs and uneven settling.Popular Projects in El Campo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - El Campo Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in El Campo.
Fill dirt is natural soil used to raise or level ground; it usually contains sand, silt, clay and small rock but should be low in organic material. In El Campo you would use fill dirt to raise yard grades, build up under sheds or pads, backfill trenches, or create gentle slopes for drainage. It is not a substitute for structural base material under driveways or parking areas unless it is properly compacted and tested.
Delivered fill dirt in the El Campo area typically ranges from about $12 to $30 per ton depending on source, quantity, and haul distance; 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.0 to 1.3 tons, so expect about $15 to $40 per cubic yard. Prices can shift seasonally and with heavy-haul distance, so use Hello Gravel to get an exact local quote and include delivery fees and minimums.
Most suppliers in our network require a minimum order of about 3 tons (Hello Gravel minimum) and commonly deliver within a 30 to 60 mile radius of El Campo. Larger orders and commercial accounts may get wider delivery windows; check your zip code on Hello Gravel to see local supplier options and any distance-based delivery fees.
For grading and raising areas use clean, low-organic fill dirt that compacts well; for shed pads and building pads, aim for engineered or structural fill placed in compacted lifts. For driveways in clay-prone El Campo soils, avoid using only fine fill dirt at the surface — use fill dirt to raise grade but place a well-draining granular base (road base, crusher run, or 3/4" minus) on top for stability and drainage.
Residential projects typically require compaction to about 90-95% of Standard Proctor, with fill placed in 4 to 8 inch lifts and compacted with plate compactors or rollers. Contractor charges vary with job size; small jobs may add $300-$1,200 for grading and compaction while larger sites are priced by area or hourly equipment and operator rates — get a local estimate for exact costs.
Hot, dry spells make clay-rich fill dirt shrink and crack while heavy, infrequent rains can cause erosion and rill formation if slopes are not stabilized. In El Campo, plan for proper compaction, gentle slopes, surface grading to direct runoff, and erosion controls like sod, seed, or temporary mulch to protect fresh fills until vegetation takes hold.
Small residential fills are often allowed without a permit, but larger grading, changes to drainage, or fills that exceed local elevation thresholds may require a city or county permit and inspection. Contact City of El Campo Planning/Building and Wharton County officials before large deliveries or major re-grading to confirm local rules, especially if you are near floodplains or public rights-of-way.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 1 inch you need about 3.1 cubic yards (roughly 3.5 to 4.0 tons). A 10-car driveway (roughly 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft) at 6 inches of fill needs about 37 to 56 cubic yards (about 45 to 70 tons depending on density). A 20x30 shed base (600 sq ft) at 4 inches needs about 7.4 cubic yards (around 8.5 to 10 tons) and at 6 inches about 11.1 cubic yards (around 13 to 15 tons). Use Hello Gravel's calculator to refine quantities based on exact dimensions.
No — while fill dirt can raise grades, it is not a substitute for engineered granular base materials. For driveways and drainage in El Campo's clay soils, use road base or crusher run for load-bearing and drainage properties, and reserve fill dirt for subgrade fill or leveling behind the base layer.
If fill dirt is used alone as a driveway base it will likely settle, rut, and require more frequent maintenance — expect periodic regrading and added material every few years depending on use. A properly compacted subgrade with a granular base on top can last many years with minimal upkeep; anticipate occasional resurfacing or edging work to manage erosion after heavy rains.
Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Seasonal demand is highest in spring and fall, and extreme summer heat or post-storm conditions can affect scheduling; for large projects in El Campo, book materials a week or more ahead and avoid scheduling immediately after heavy local rains.
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.
