Why Fabens Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fabens is a tight-knit West Texas community of 8,957 residents experiencing steady local development with a growth rate of 0.18% annually. Nestled in a semi-arid setting with 291 sunny days per year and just 9.25 inches of annual rainfall, Fabens presents unique landscaping and construction challenges: soils shift with temperature and sudden storms, and water-sensitive projects must be engineered for drainage and compaction. That steady but modest growth creates demand for reliable site work—everything from yard grading and retaining walls to utility trench backfill and small foundation repairs. Homeowners in Fabens look for quality aggregates that provide predictable compaction, minimal settling, and compatibility with local soils; Fill Dirt is often the material of choice when raising grade, stabilizing subgrades, or filling voids before topsoil or paving.Popular Projects in Fabens This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fabens Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Fabens.
Yes, plain fill dirt is generally cheaper than decorative or crushed gravel because it is less processed and often contains more fines. In Fabens, local factors like nearby pit availability, truck distance, and whether the dirt contains caliche or clay affect price; expect fill dirt to be the more budget-friendly option for raising grade or backfill. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and delivery charges can change the final cost.
No, decorative materials marketed as "Texas black" are usually crushed rock or slag used for appearance and drainage, not for structural backfill. For filling and compaction needs around foundations or to raise grade in Fabens, choose fill dirt or engineered fill; if you want a stable surface that also looks good, ask about a base rock option after the fill dirt is placed.
Costs vary with truck size, material density, and haul distance, but a quick way to estimate is: a tri-axle truck carries about 10-12 cubic yards, and fill dirt weighs roughly 1.2-1.6 tons per cubic yard. Using local delivered rates (which can range widely), a single truckload commonly ends up in the low hundreds to several hundred dollars; contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote using your zip code and delivery address.
Calculate cubic yards with this formula: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) ÷ 27. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches (0.333 ft) needs about 12.3 cubic yards, which is roughly 15-20 tons depending on moisture and soil type; add 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and settling in Fabens' arid conditions.
No, ordinary fill dirt will not harden like concrete. If you need a firm, load-bearing surface in Fabens, consider compacting engineered fill to specification or using soil-cement or a crushed-stone base; those are contractor-level solutions that require testing and proper mixing, so discuss options with a local builder or Hello Gravel for material recommendations.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. That will cover about 81 sq ft at 4 inches deep, about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 54 sq ft at 6 inches; remember compaction and moisture in West Texas soils can reduce as-delivered spread, so order a little extra to be safe.
Fill dirt is mainly fines and small particles used to raise grade and backfill; G1 and 3/4" are size-graded crushed stones used for structural bases and drainage. In Fabens use fill dirt where you only need volume and compaction, and use G1 or 3/4" crushed stone where strength, drainage, or a stable driving surface is required.
Expect local fill dirt to reflect West Texas soils—often sandy-clay or caliche—which affects compaction and drainage. Ask Hello Gravel for quotes tied to your zip code, request delivery date windows, note if the driver can tailgate spread (driver discretion), and plan for compaction and moisture conditioning to get the best results.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
