Why Friendswood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Friendswood has a city population of 52,418 and sits within a growing region (metro area population 2.5+ million) where steady development drives demand for dependable site materials. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, homeowners and small contractors are frequently changing yards, adding hardscapes, and preparing building pads. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—means projects must handle both sunny, drying conditions and significant seasonal rains. That combination increases the need for quality aggregates that compact well, resist erosion, and create consistent grades. For many Friendswood homeowners, buying reliable Fill Dirt is a key step to avoid future settling, improve drainage, and prepare even lots for landscaping or structures.Popular Projects in Friendswood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Friendswood Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Friendswood.
Prices vary by supplier and exact material, but expect a typical range of about $12 to $30 per ton (roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard) for delivered fill dirt in the Friendswood area. Final price depends on local availability, truck access, and whether spreading is requested, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team for an accurate quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Friendswood; exact suppliers vary by neighborhood. Our platform generally has a 3-ton minimum order; delivery fees are often included but can vary by distance and access conditions, so confirm fees and minimums in checkout or with our sales team.
Fill dirt is appropriate for raising grade and backfilling trenches, but it is not a finished driveway surface because it contains fines and can rut or wash under traffic. In hot summers with occasional heavy rains like Friendswood, compacted fill dirt works well for grading and utility backfill when combined with proper compaction and top layers of crusher run or stone for driveways to improve drainage and durability.
To raise 1,000 square feet by 2 inches requires about 6.2 cubic yards, and by 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards. Contractors typically recommend ordering roughly 10% extra to allow for compaction and settlement, so plan on about 6.8 to 20.4 cubic yards (roughly 8 to 25 tons, depending on material density) for that range.
You may need permits or HOA approval depending on the scope of work and your neighborhood rules. Check with the City of Friendswood Development Services for grading, drainage, and floodplain rules, and contact your HOA before ordering to confirm any restrictions on importing material or changing lot elevations.
Install fill dirt in thin lifts (about 4 to 6 inches) and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to achieve consistent density. Control moisture during placement, slope the site for positive drainage away from structures, consider geotextile on soft subgrades, and use contractor-grade testing for structural backfill to reduce future settling and erosion.
Fill dirt is mainly for bulk raising and backfill and often contains fines; it is inexpensive but not suitable as a final driving surface. Crusher run is compactable and gravel-like, making it a better base for driveways. Engineered fill is specified, tested, and graded for structural work like foundations, while clean fill (free of debris) is best for landscaping where contaminants are a concern.
Friendswood's hot, humid summers and periods of heavy rain make timing important: avoid major placement right before forecasted heavy rain to reduce washouts and poor compaction. Summer heat can dry the material quickly and affect moisture control for compaction, so many contractors prefer spring or fall windows, but scheduling is flexible—check local forecasts and coordinate delivery with your contractor.
Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks that unload in a single dump; placement depends on truck access and lot constraints. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading is at the driver’s discretion and not guaranteed; leave clear access and placement notes in your order and contact Hello Gravel if special arrangements or additional spreading services are needed.
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.
