Why Elmendorf Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Elmendorf sits in West Texas with a city population of 9,380 and is part of a metro area of 2.7+ million. The community is growing at 1.17% annually and sits in a semi-arid environment that averages about 228 sunny days per year, roughly 32.91 inches of rainfall annually, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b. That combination of steady growth and sun-dominant weather has driven demand for residential construction and landscape projects—driveways, yard grading, foundations, and utility trenches are common. Homeowners need reliable, low-organic aggregates that compact predictably so new pads and backfill won’t settle or cause drainage problems. Consistent, properly graded fill dirt is a practical choice for creating level bases, raising grades to direct runoff, and preparing subgrades for patios or outbuildings. Fill dirt works well in Elmendorf’s climate because it is dense, low in organic matter, and compacts into a stable base that resists erosion from intermittent rains and cracking from prolonged sun exposure. With 32.91 inches of annual rainfall and long stretches of sun, keeping drainage predictable and minimizing long-term settling are priorities—proper fill dirt helps on both fronts. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt, provides clear quantity guidance, and schedules delivery by dump truck with standard 2+ business days and next-day options when available, so you get the right material on the timeline your project needs.Popular Projects in Elmendorf This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Elmendorf Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Elmendorf.
In Elmendorf you can generally expect fill dirt to run about $8 to $18 per ton, depending on supplier and moisture content. That converts roughly to $10 to $22 per cubic yard loose; local truck sizes and compaction affect the final delivered volume, so prices vary by supplier and delivery distance.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and delivers via local contracted dump trucks. Many orders qualify for free delivery depending on zip code, but where a fee applies in West Texas it commonly ranges from around $25 to $150 depending on distance, truck access, and next-day service requests.
Fill dirt is intended as a subgrade or to raise ground levels and is not a durable wearing surface for driveways. For a driveway you should place compacted road base or crushed stone over the fill dirt; otherwise the surface will rut, dust, and erode quickly under vehicle traffic.
For subgrade fill, specify clean, non-organic fill with minimal oversized rock and no topsoil; particle sizes will be fines-dominant, but select fill or engineered fill is better than loose topsoil. Compact fill in 6- to 8-inch loose lifts to about 90% to 95% standard Proctor (relative compaction), testing with spot checks where the driveway will bear traffic.
Hot, dry conditions in West Texas increase shrinkage and dust from fine, clay-rich fill dirt and can make freshly placed fills prone to cracking as they dry. Proper compaction, moisture conditioning at placement, and covering with a base material or mulch will reduce settling, erosion, and dust issues.
Permitting rules vary by location, so check with the City of Elmendorf and the county planning or building office before importing large volumes, especially if you are changing grade, working in a floodplain, or are in an HOA. Simple small deliveries often have no special permit, but larger grading or retaining-wall work usually requires approval or permits.
If you only have fill dirt delivered and spread with compaction, expect roughly $0.50 to $1.50 per square foot for typical residential volumes and modest sites. For a complete driveway build—grading, geotextile, compacted base, and surface gravel—typical turnkey pricing in West Texas is closer to $2.00 to $6.00 per square foot, varying with site access and material choice.
Better alternatives for driveway surfaces include road base (engineered crushed rock), crusher run, and 3/4-inch crushed limestone; these materials compact well, shed water, and resist rutting compared with raw fill dirt. They cost more than basic fill dirt—expect road base or crusher run to run higher per ton—but they lower long-term maintenance and improve drainage and load-bearing performance.
Measure the area in square feet, multiply by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (area x depth / 27 = cubic yards). Multiply cubic yards by about 1.1 to 1.3 to estimate tons for loose fill (1.2 is a common factor), then round up to allow for compaction and waste.

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.
