Why Gunter Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Gunter, Texas, is a growing community with a city population of 4,460 and a steady growth rate of 2.38% annually. Located in West Texas in hardiness zone 8b, the area sees 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, a climate that supports both landscaping and ongoing residential development. That steady local growth, alongside demand across the broader metro area population of 2.7+ million, increases need for basic site-preparation materials. Homeowners and contractors in Gunter seek quality aggregates to grade lots, backfill foundations, build driveway bases, and shape yards. Good fill dirt reduces settlement risk, compacts predictably, and improves drainage compared with organic or inconsistent soils—making material choice important for long-term project performance.Popular Projects in Gunter This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Gunter Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Gunter.
Fill dirt is soil sold primarily to raise grade, level ground, backfill foundations, and fill low spots; it usually contains few organic materials and varies by local geology. In Gunter, TX, homeowners use it for backyard grading, setting building pads above wet areas, and filling trenches before compacting. It is not intended as a finished driving surface without a structural base on top.
Prices for fill dirt in the West Texas/Gunter area vary by supplier and haul distance, but you can typically expect a rough range of about $10 to $30 per ton (or roughly $12 to $36 per cubic yard) before taxes and fees. Hello Gravel shows transparent quotes and delivery pricing at checkout; our minimum order is 3 tons and many deliveries in our network include free delivery or a modest delivery fee depending on distance and access.
Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local quarries and sand-and-gravel suppliers serving Gunter and nearby Grayson and Collin County areas, plus independent haulers that handle last-mile delivery. Supplier minimums commonly align with our 3-ton platform minimum, though some quarries or farm sellers may require larger loads; delivery fees depend on distance, site access, and truck type. For specific suppliers, minimums, and exact delivery fees, use our zip-code check or request a quote through the Hello Gravel site.
Approximate amounts for 1,000 sq ft: 4" depth needs about 12.3 cubic yards (roughly 14–16 tons), 6" needs about 18.5 cubic yards (roughly 21–24 tons), and 8" needs about 24.7 cubic yards (roughly 28–32 tons). Exact tonnage depends on the material's moisture and compaction; we recommend ordering a small overage (5–10%) to allow for settlement and compaction losses.
Fill dirt can perform fine for raising grades in Gunter’s hot, dry summers, but it tends to shrink when dry and may rut or wash in heavy rains if not compacted and protected. For better long-term performance, compact fill in 4–6" lifts, add a capped layer of gravel or crushed stone for driving surfaces, and consider soil amendments or geotextile underlay if drainage is poor. Avoid using untreated fill dirt as the final surface for driveways—use a structural base material on top for traffic areas.
Aim for roughly 90–95% of Standard Proctor density for building pads and around 90% for non-structural landscaping areas; a local geotechnical engineer can specify exact targets for structural work. Use plate compactors or a trommel compactor for small areas, jumping-jack compactors for trenches or narrow spots, and a walk-behind or small vibratory roller for residential driveways and pads. Compact in 4–6" lifts, checking firmness between passes before adding the next layer.
Yes—driveway cuts, culvert placement in the right-of-way, and substantial grading or regrading can require permits or approvals from the City of Gunter or Grayson County. If your work affects a street, stormwater flow, or a floodplain, you may need additional permits or engineering. Check with the City of Gunter Public Works or Grayson County permitting offices before large deliveries or grading work; Hello Gravel can help point you to local contacts if needed.
Fill dirt is mainly soil and is inexpensive, but it does not compact into a strong, load-bearing surface and can rut or wash out under traffic and rain. Crusher run and road base are crushed stone mixes with angular particles that lock together and drain better, making them the preferred choice for driveways and roads. For Gunter driveways, use fill dirt only to raise or level. Put a compacted layer of crusher run or road base on top for durability and proper drainage.
Standard delivery is typically 2 or more business days after order processing, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Seasonal demand can increase lead times in spring and fall landscape seasons, and heavy rain events may delay deliveries due to site access or road conditions. Summer heat rarely prevents delivery, but contractors sometimes schedule early-morning drops to avoid midday issues and to protect moisture-sensitive soils.
Regular maintenance includes keeping a crown or proper slope for drainage, regrading low spots after storms, and adding compacted material to rutted areas. Installing swales, small berms, or erosion-control vegetation helps route runoff and reduce washouts. For vehicle areas, plan to top with a granular surface (crusher run or gravel) and periodic light grading to maintain the profile.
Yes—North Texas commonly has clayey subsoils that hold moisture and create a weak subgrade, so using a geotextile fabric or a separation layer is a good idea where drainage or load-bearing is a concern. For driveways and pads, place a geotextile over soft clay, then install a compacted granular base before placing fill dirt or finished surfacing. For structural work, consult an engineer to determine fabric type and base thickness based on local soil tests.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
