Why Follett Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Follett has a population of 530 and sits in semi-arid West Texas, where steady regional expansion and a 0.70% annual growth rate are driving modest construction and landscape work. With 228 sunny days per year and about 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners in Follett see a mix of dry periods and occasional heavy storms that make proper grading and stable subgrades important. Fill dirt is often the go-to material for grading yard slopes, building up low spots, backfilling foundations and utility trenches, and creating level pads for sheds or patios. Homeowners choose quality fill dirt because proper compaction and consistent material reduce future settling, protect drainage during heavy rains, and simplify landscaping in Follett's hardiness zone 8b climate.Popular Projects in Follett This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Follett Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Follett.
Per-ton prices for basic fill dirt around Follett typically run in the lower range—expect roughly $12 to $20 per ton depending on local supply and quality. Hello Gravel often includes free delivery in many areas, but rural Follett addresses can see distance or fuel fees, typically $0 to $150 extra depending on haul distance and truck access; minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Use the rule of thumb 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt ≈ 1.1 to 1.3 tons. Examples for Follett: a 12x30 ft driveway base at 4 inches needs about 4.5 cubic yards (≈ 5 to 6 tons); raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards (≈ 20 to 24 tons); a small 10x20 parking pad at 6 inches needs about 4.6 cubic yards (≈ 5 to 6 tons). Always measure your area, pick the desired depth, and add 5-10% for compaction and settlement.
For West Texas conditions, choose a compactable fill with a mix of fines and sand (moderately well-graded) rather than pure clay or loose sandy topsoil; this packs down and resists wind erosion better. Avoid highly expansive clays; if local caliche is present, a caliche-containing fill can work but may require proper compaction and drainage planning to avoid future cracking or runoff.
Deliveries to Follett are typically done with tri-axle dump trucks, but very rural or narrow drives may require smaller trucks (single-axle) or offloading to a safe location at the road. Long hauls, tight turns, unpaved approach roads, or weight-restricted bridges can trigger additional fees or require coordination with the hauler, so mention access details and gate/road conditions when ordering.
Fill dirt can compact well if it is properly placed in thin lifts and moisture-conditioned, but native expansive clay or hard caliche underneath can cause differential settling or poor bonding. For structures or driveways on those native soils, consider compaction testing, geotextile fabric, or stabilization (lime, cement, or engineered base) to improve performance rather than relying on loose fill dirt alone.
If fill dirt is only used to build up elevation and the surface is finished with a stable crushed stone or road base, expect routine maintenance like grading and adding topping gravel every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and weather. Driveways left as bare fill dirt will deteriorate faster from wind and rain; plan for more frequent repairs and dust control in Follett's dry, windy climate.
Use inexpensive fill dirt for bulk elevation and non-load-bearing fill behind walls or for grading. For driveways, parking pads, and building foundations in Follett, crusher run or road base (crushed stone with fines) is the preferred surface because it compacts and drains better; engineered fill with testing and spec'd material is required for most structural foundations and permitting.
Permits and requirements vary by project: septic systems and building pads commonly have county health or building rules that can require specific backfill and compaction or engineered reports. Check with Lipscomb County officials before major grading, and tell your permit officer whether you plan to use fill dirt so they can advise on compaction testing or engineered fill requirements.
Summer heat and wind in Follett increase dust and make compaction trickier unless moisture is controlled; schedule deliveries when moderate moisture is possible or arrange on-site watering for compaction. Avoid major fills during heavy rain events to reduce erosion and washout risk; follow up with erosion control (straw, seed, or temporary mulch) if you leave bare fills exposed.
Contractors ordering large volumes typically receive lower per-ton pricing and may arrange multiple loads with scheduled hauls, while homeowners ordering smaller amounts pay retail per-ton rates; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. For remote Follett deliveries, both homeowners and contractors may face the same distance or access fees, so get a personalized quote to compare pricing for your job size.
