Why Electra Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Electra is a tight-knit West Texas city of 2,230 residents that sits inside a broader regional market of 2.5+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 0.49% annually, local housing and small-scale development projects steadily create demand for practical, cost-effective site materials. Electra’s climate — an average of 262 sunny days per year, a hardiness zone of 7b, and 27.80 inches of annual rainfall — favors outdoor work for much of the year but also means homeowners need reliable materials that handle both sun and intermittent heavy rain. For many local homeowners, sourcing quality aggregates like fill dirt is essential to level yards, prep building pads, fix drainage, and prevent settling after seasonal storms. Fill dirt in Electra typically acts as subsoil for raising grades, backfilling foundations, and stabilizing low spots rather than as a planting medium. Given the region’s 27.80 inches of rain and high sun exposure, properly compacted, well-graded fill dirt reduces erosion and long-term settling, helping finishes like driveways, patios, and landscaping stay true to grade. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who provide regionally sourced fill dirt, handle scheduling, and deliver by dump truck on your timeline (standard delivery in 2+ business days with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST). We make it simple to order the right volume and get reliable delivery from local haulers.Popular Projects in Electra This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Electra Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Electra.
In the Electra area fill dirt usually runs about $10 to $18 per ton, depending on supplier and haul distance. Using a practical estimate of 1.3 tons per cubic yard, that is roughly $13 to $24 per cubic yard. Prices can vary with moisture content, regional availability, and minimum-order or delivery fees, so check your zip code for an exact quote.
For raising grade in hot, arid Electra conditions look for clean, low-organic fill with some clay or silt for cohesion (often called structural or compactable fill). Avoid topsoil and high-organic mixes that settle and shrink; use fill dirt to build the subgrade and cover it with road base or crushed stone for a durable driveway surface.
Quick method: calculate area (sq ft) x depth (ft) = cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.3 to get tons. Example: 1,000 sq ft raised 1 inch = 1,000 x (1/12) = 83.3 cu ft = 3.09 yd3 ≈ 4 tons. For rough estimates use 1 inch over 100 sq ft ≈ 0.31 yd3 ≈ 0.4 tons.
Fill dirt can compact well if it is clean, low-organic material placed in thin lifts and mechanically compacted. Electra's arid soils can be clayey or sandy; for building pads and septic fields you may need engineered fill and compaction testing to meet local codes. We recommend consulting a geotechnical engineer or your county health office for septic specs before hauling material.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers in Wichita County and nearby towns; in rural West Texas suppliers often source materials within a 25 to 50 mile radius. Delivery availability depends on local stock and road access; enter your zip code on our site or call our team to see which suppliers and trucks can serve your property.
Permit requirements vary: simple private driveways often do not need a city permit, but installing a driveway approach, culvert, or changing drainage may require county or TxDOT approval. For building pads and septic systems you should check with Electra city hall and Wichita County offices for local rules and septic permits before starting work.
Exposed fill dirt will erode, settle, and dust more quickly under Electra's sun and storm patterns; expect initial settling in the first year and possible regrading after heavy rains. For a low-maintenance surface use fill dirt only as subgrade and cap it with gravel or road base; maintained gravel driving surfaces typically need spot regrading and added material every 1 to 3 years depending on use and drainage.
Use fill dirt to raise grade or fill low spots, but not as the wearing surface. Crusher run, road base, or compacted limestone are better for driveway surfaces because they interlock and shed water. A common approach in West Texas is structural fill for subgrade, then 4 to 6 inches of road base or crushed stone on top for durability and drainage.
Typical local dump trucks on Hello Gravel orders are tri-axle trucks carrying roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards loose (about 12 to 18 tons depending on material). Our minimum order is 3 tons; delivery fees vary by supplier and distance—rural deliveries may add a travel fee if outside normal service areas. We recommend requesting a quote with your address so we can show exact truck options and any delivery charges.
Delivery cost depends on distance from the supplier, road conditions, truck access, offloading difficulty, and whether permits or escorts are needed. To get an accurate freight estimate provide your property address, pictures of the access road, and any gates or bridge constraints; use Hello Gravel's online quote tool or contact our team for a tailored delivery price.
Aim for late spring or early fall in Electra when soils are not overly wet from seasonal storms and not baked dry by summer heat. Avoid hauling during or immediately before heavy rain seasons to reduce erosion and compaction problems, and plan compaction shortly after placement to limit settling.
Avoid fill that contains topsoil, organic matter, trash, roots, or construction debris—ask for 'clean structural fill' or 'engineered fill' when possible. Common stabilizers in West Texas include lime, cement, or polymer additives for improved compaction and dust control; another practical option is to cap fill with gravel or a soil stabilizer product to reduce dust and erosion. Always check local specs for septic or building projects before using additives.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
