Why Ennis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ennis has a city population of 28,923 and is part of a steadily growing West Texas region with a 0.70% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days per year, average annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners in Ennis are regularly undertaking outdoor projects—from lot grading and foundation backfill to driveway builds and landscaping—that require dependable aggregates. Local geology and weather patterns produce a mix of clay and sandy soils, so using the right fill material up front reduces the risk of settling, erosion, and drainage problems. Homeowners seek quality fill dirt to create stable subgrades, maintain proper drainage under heavy rains, and avoid repeated repairs after installation.Popular Projects in Ennis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ennis Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ennis.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and season. Hello Gravel shows per-ton or per-cubic-yard pricing in checkout after you enter your zip code; typical local orders start at our 3-ton minimum. For an exact price, check your zip code on our site or contact our team at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734.
Both screened (clean, free of large clods and debris) and unscreened (more native soil) fill dirt are available around Ennis, but availability depends on the local quarry or pit. Minimum orders commonly start at our 3-ton minimum for delivery, while some suppliers or larger contractors may require a full truckload. Use the product filters on checkout or ask our team if you need screened material for landscaping or building work.
Ennis has clay-rich native soils that shrink and swell with moisture, so bringing in clean, well-graded fill dirt can improve drainage and reduce future settling when used for grading or backfill. For structural backfill near foundations, contractors often blend or cap clay with granular fill or select fill to limit moisture movement. If you have clay issues on site, we recommend discussing your project with a local contractor or our team so you get material suited to your drainage and compaction needs.
Compaction is important: contractors typically compact fill dirt in lifts (4 to 8 inches) with plate compactors, ride-on rollers, or vibratory rollers depending on depth and access. Ennis building inspectors may require documentation or testing for structural backfill, so for foundations or engineered work plan to hire a contractor who can provide compaction testing. For non-structural grading or yard raises, a plate compactor and proper lift thickness are usually sufficient.
Yes. Spring and early summer are busy construction months in North Texas and can push prices up and reduce short-notice availability. Heavy rains can also limit quarry access and delay deliveries. We recommend ordering earlier in the season when possible and checking Hello Gravel for current pricing and next-day options if you need material quickly.
Use cubic yards first, then convert to tons: 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt is roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on moisture and density. Examples: to raise a 12 ft x 50 ft driveway by 3 inches you need about 5.6 cubic yards (approximately 7 to 9 tons); to raise a 1,000 sq ft yard by 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (about 8 to 10 tons); an average 20 ft x 20 ft foundation backfill zone 1 ft deep is about 15 cubic yards (about 18 to 24 tons). Always order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading.
Common alternatives include crushed stone (for driveways and structural base), select or engineered fill (graded and compactable), and granular borrow (clean, compactable fill). Fill dirt is usually the least expensive option but does not provide the same drainage or load-bearing characteristics as crushed stone or engineered fill, which are typically 20% to 100% more expensive depending on material and haul distance. Choose the material based on whether you need drainage, compaction, or a structural base.
Some Ennis building permits or HOAs may have rules about driveway materials, elevations, or impermeable surfaces, so check your HOA and local permitting office before major changes. In West Texas, plan positive drainage away from structures with at least a 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot slope, and consider swales, French drains, or perimeter drains where surface water concentrates. Using a granular base or geotextile under the fill can also help prevent washout and rutting during heavy rains.
Order online by entering your Ennis zip code to see available suppliers, pricing, and delivery dates; minimum orders start at 3 tons and you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested in the order notes, but spreading is not guaranteed and will be decided on arrival for safety reasons.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
