Why Frankston Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Frankston is a West Texas community of 5,370 people experiencing steady regional growth. The broader metro area counts 2.5+ million residents and the area expands at about 0.80% annually, which contributes to a gradual rise in home projects and local construction demand. Frankston's climate—approximately 228 sunny days each year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of sun exposure and occasional heavy rain that affects soil stability and landscaping choices. That combination means homeowners are looking for reliable, locally sourced materials that perform well for grading, drainage, and foundation prep. Consistent fill material helps prevent settlement, improve drainage paths, and reduce rework on both small landscaping jobs and larger renovation projects.Popular Projects in Frankston This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Frankston Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Frankston.
Prices vary by supplier and distance, but expect a typical range of $25 to $60 per ton delivered in rural East/Central Texas areas near Frankston. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may offer free or reduced delivery within nearby service zones; remote or long-haul loads will run toward the higher end of the range. Request a zip-code quote for an exact delivered price and available next-day options.
A good rule of thumb is 1 cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.1 to 1.4 tons depending on moisture and compaction. For small Frankston projects, multiply cubic yards needed by 1.2 to estimate tons; for example, 10 cubic yards is roughly 12 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team to get a project-specific conversion.
Typical fill dirt used locally is stable under heat but performs differently when wet. For base fills and grading, well-draining, compacted fill dirt is fine, but for areas prone to standing water you should add drainage or use a blended fill with more sand. Local suppliers source materials suited to East Texas soil conditions, but confirm drainage and compaction specs with your contractor.
Yes; Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck fleets that serve Frankston and surrounding West Texas areas. Deliveries are typically made with tri-axle dump trucks and have a 3-ton minimum order. If you need spreading or placement, request tailgate spreading at checkout, but the driver will assess safety and access on arrival.
A screened, native fill dirt compacted in lifts is commonly used for grading and raising low spots in the Frankston area. For improved drainage, contractors often blend fill dirt with coarse sand or a small percentage of crushed rock to reduce shrink-swell and improve permeability. Specify your project (driveway base, lawn, foundation backfill) so suppliers can recommend an appropriate blend.
Permitting depends on the scope of the work. Small landscaping fills under typical yard grading often do not require permits, but larger regrades, commercial work, or fills that alter drainage patterns may need town or county approvals. Check with the town of Frankston or Cherokee County before major earthwork and ask your contractor to confirm permit requirements.
Contractors measure the volume in cubic yards, account for compaction and waste (usually 5% to 15%), then convert to tons for pricing. Quotes will include delivery, spreading/compaction labor, and any hauling into areas with limited access. Ask for a line-item quote from contractors and compare it to the delivered material cost from Hello Gravel to see the full project price.
Fill dirt itself is durable, but the finished grade depends on compaction, drainage, and surface material. For unpaved driveways, expect some settling and rutting the first season and budget for periodic regrading or adding topcoat material every few years. Proper drainage and compaction up front reduce maintenance in the East Texas climate.
Choose fill dirt for general grading, raising yard elevations, or filling trenches when native soil compatibility and cost are priorities. Use sand or engineered fill where uniform compaction, faster drainage, or specific structural specifications are required, such as under slabs or engineered foundations. If your project involves structures, consult an engineer or contractor to meet local code and site conditions.
Deliveries are usually made with tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10 to 14 tons per load depending on material weight. Drivers need a clear, level place to tip without overhead obstructions and reasonable turn-around space; narrow drives, steep slopes, or low-hanging branches can limit where trucks can offload. If access is tight, request smaller trucks or off-site drop locations when ordering through Hello Gravel.
Drivers may be able to tailgate spread at their discretion and when it can be done safely, but spreading is not guaranteed. Please request spreading at checkout and include access notes; the driver will assess conditions on arrival and advise. For guaranteed spreading and compaction, hire a local contractor to perform those final steps after delivery.
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.
