Why Gatesville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gatesville is a compact West Texas community with a city population of 15,131 and a wider metro area population of 75,000. With steady growth of 0.80% annually and a climate that averages 230 sunny days per year in hardiness zone 7b, homeowners here undertake regular landscaping and light construction projects that require reliable earthmoving materials. Annual rainfall of 28.00 inches means projects must balance dry-season work with occasional heavy rains, so contractors and DIYers often need dependable fill to grade lots, backfill around foundations, and establish consistent elevations for driveways and yards. That steady, measured development drives demand for quality aggregates: homeowners want fill dirt that compacts well, minimizes settlement, and reduces erosion risk when storms arrive.Popular Projects in Gatesville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gatesville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Gatesville.
In Gatesville and West Texas, delivered fill dirt commonly runs in the range of about $10 to $25 per ton, depending on source distance, moisture content, and seasonal availability; minimum orders typically start at 3 tons. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing for your zip code at checkout and includes delivery fees in the quote; next-day delivery may cost extra and tailgate spreading is at the driver’s discretion.
Local suppliers and pits change with season and demand, and Gatesville’s fill dirt is often sourced from nearby Coryell, Bell, and surrounding county pits. Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and haulers in your area — check your zip code on our site to see current supplier options and pit locations for Gatesville.
Gatesville’s clay and caliche can make native soils dense, poorly draining, and prone to hardpan, which affects compaction and drainage when using fill dirt. For driveways and build-up, use compacted, clean fill dirt as a bulk lift but finish with a crushed stone or crush-and-run layer for drainage and traction; consider soil testing where structural support is required.
Common residential uses include raising low yards, building landscape berms, basic building pad backfill, and filling trenches or holes. Ask for 'clean fill dirt' with minimal organics and debris, medium-fine gradation for easy compaction, and discuss moisture level with the supplier; for driveways or septic pads request engineered or compactible fill and verify compaction specs with your contractor or county requirements.
Yes — West Texas heat causes moisture loss and shrinkage, while storm events can cause erosion; both increase the need for good compaction and correct lift thickness. Use controlled lifts (typically 6-8 inches loose) with mechanical compaction to reach target density, slope for drainage, and add erosion control (straw, hydroseed, or turf) on exposed fills to reduce washout after heavy rains.
Use the formula: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards. For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft lawn by 4 inches needs about 12.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 15–20 tons depending on moisture and material density; always order 5–10% extra to allow for settlement and compaction.
Permits depend on the scope of work — small landscaping fills rarely need a permit, but building pads, septic systems, driveway modifications, or substantial grading may require Coryell County permits or city approval and HOA rules may restrict visible grading or changes. Check with the City of Gatesville, Coryell County permitting offices, and your HOA (if applicable) before ordering; Hello Gravel can also help coordinate delivery details once permits are confirmed.
Fill dirt is bulk, low-organic soil used to raise grade and fill voids and is less suitable for final planting than topsoil, which is richer in organic matter. Crush-and-run or gravel is better on driveways for load-bearing and drainage, while engineered fill (spec’d and tested) is the right choice for structural pads or septic beds; choose fill dirt for bulk elevation but finish with the appropriate material for the surface use.
Installation pricing varies with access, haul distance, and compaction requirements; simple placing and grading of fill dirt is often quoted per cubic yard ($10–$35/yd3) or per ton, while full compaction and testing for structural work increases cost. Get written estimates that itemize hauling, spreading, compaction, and any density testing; Hello Gravel can supply delivered material pricing so you can compare contractor bids accurately.
Expect some initial settling, especially in deep fills or over organic material, and potential erosion during heavy rains if slopes are not stabilized. Reduce problems by compacting in lifts during installation, using proper drainage and grading, capping with topsoil and vegetation or rock as appropriate, and regrading low spots after the first wet season if needed.
Calculate cubic yards with: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27, then convert to tons using a local density estimate (fill dirt typically 1.2–1.6 tons/yd3) and add 5–10% for settlement. Hello Gravel’s online calculator and material quiz help estimate quantities for Gatesville projects, and we connect you to local suppliers and schedule tri-axle deliveries to your property once you enter your zip code.
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.
