Why Hale Center Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hale Center, West Texas, Texas, is a small but steadily growing city of 2,400 residents. With a regional growth rate of 0.80% annually and a semi-arid climate that averages 228 sunny days/year and 34.25 inches of rain annually, local landscaping and building projects face distinct soil and grading challenges. Strong solar exposure and dry spells can desiccate topsoil while episodic rains require proper elevation and drainage to avoid pooling. That combination drives steady demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners need fill to level yards, raise building pads, backfill foundations, and prevent puddling around structures. For DIYers and contractors alike, choosing the right fill material reduces future settling, improves compaction, and helps form consistent slopes for runoff, making material selection and placement essential to long-term performance.Popular Projects in Hale Center This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hale Center Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hale Center.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and material quality, but basic delivered fill dirt in the Hale Center/West Texas area commonly runs about $10 to $30 per ton (roughly $8 to $23 per cubic yard). Minimum orders and truck fees can affect the per-ton price, so contact us for an exact quote for your zip code and delivery location.
Local sources include regional quarries, landscape suppliers, and dirt haulers in Hale County and nearby Lubbock, but exact suppliers depend on your zip code and availability. Hello Gravel typically shows suppliers with a minimum order of 3 tons; common delivery trucks are tri-axle end dumps (10–15 tons load) or smaller tandem-axle trucks for tight access. Tailgate spreading may be available but is done at the driver’s discretion.
Use volume = length x width x depth and convert cubic feet to cubic yards (divide by 27), then convert cubic yards to tons (fill dirt in this area is about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction). Example: a 12 ft by 50 ft driveway raised 3 inches is ~5.6 cubic yards, or roughly 6.2 to 7.3 tons. Adjust dimensions for your project and contact us if you want help calculating exact amounts.
Contractors typically place fill dirt in lifts (4 to 6 inches) and compact each lift with a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller for larger fills. Moisture conditioning (wetting or drying to the right moisture content) and removing organic material before placing fill reduce future settling. For driveways or load-bearing areas, contractors often install a compactable aggregate base over the fill or use geotextile fabric to improve stability.
Fill dirt is cost-effective for raising grade and filling low spots but it may settle and can hold water over clay subsoils, leading to long-term consolidation. Caliche or crusher run give better structural support and drainage for driveways, while screened topsoil is best for planting and lawns. In Hale Center you’ll often see a combination: fill dirt for bulk raising, compacted aggregate for driveways, and screened topsoil on top where plants will grow.
Small amounts of fill for typical yard projects often do not require a city permit, but larger grading, changes that affect drainage, or work in public right-of-way may trigger City of Hale Center or Hale County permitting requirements. HOAs commonly require prior approval for visible grading or major changes to yard elevation, so check your neighborhood covenants. When in doubt, contact the city planning office or your HOA before ordering large truckloads.
Expect most settlement to occur in the first 6 to 24 months; you may need to add and regrade material after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles. For driveways, using a compactable base (crusher run) on top of the fill and occasional regrading or added material every few years will extend service life. Regular inspections after storms and adding material in low spots keep surfaces functional longer.
Screened topsoil usually costs more than basic fill dirt because it is screened and suitable for planting; expect roughly 25% to 50% higher per ton in many local quotes. Aggregate base or crusher run, which provides better compaction and drainage, often runs about 10% to 40% more per ton than basic fill dirt depending on the supplier and haul distance. Exact differences depend on local availability, quality, and delivery distance, so request a quote to compare.
