Frequently Asked Questions - Heath Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Heath.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Heath area vary by supplier, quantity, and access to your property, but you can generally expect a range of roughly $15 to $40 per ton delivered. Hello Gravel shows transparent quotes for your zip code and will include any delivery fee or minimum (our minimum order is 3 tons); exact pricing depends on local supply, truck type, and whether you request services like tailgate spreading.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 333 cubic feet of material, which converts to roughly 17 to 20 tons of fill dirt depending on how dense and compacted the material is. In North Texas conditions you should plan on ordering 10% to 20% extra to allow for compaction and settlement, so order about 19 to 24 tons to be safe.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grade or backfill but is not the ideal structural base for driveways in Heath because it can hold moisture and shift on its own. Crusher run or crushed stone is a better driveway base: it compacts well and provides drainage. A common approach is to place compacted fill dirt for grade adjustments, then a layer of crusher run or crushed stone as the stable base for the driveway surface.
In Heath's hot, humid summers and heavy rain events, native clay and fine fill dirt can get saturated and may lose strength or settle. Proper compaction, good drainage (slopes, swales, or rock layers), and using coarser material where drainage is important will reduce problems. Hello Gravel recommends discussing local soil conditions with your contractor before delivery so you order the right gradation and plan drainage.
Yes, many suppliers serving Heath and Rockwall County offer screened or clean fill dirt and can deliver by dump truck. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and shows available material options and delivery windows for your zip code; add order notes if you prefer screened material so suppliers can match your request.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of the work and local rules; small residential grading or a few inches of fill for landscaping usually does not require a permit, but larger regrades, changes to drainage, or work near floodplains or easements may. Check with the City of Heath Development Services or Rockwall County before major fills, and consult your HOA if you have one.
With correct compaction, proper drainage, and a stable base, fill dirt used under a driveway can perform for many years, but lifespan varies widely with soil type and moisture. In North Texas, expect several years to decades if the base is designed properly; however, if fine fills are used without adequate drainage or stone base, settlement and maintenance needs can appear within a few years.
Contractors can compact fill dirt to a high density, but compaction alone does not address drainage problems common to local clay-rich soils. For areas subject to vehicle loads or ponding water, adding a crushed stone layer or using geotextile fabric is recommended to improve drainage and long-term stability.
Material cost per ton is often similar whether you get loose fill dirt or have it compacted, but compaction adds labor and equipment costs that typically range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on area and difficulty. Hello Gravel can quote delivery and you should get a separate contractor estimate for compaction so you can compare total job costs.
For simple grade changes, use fill dirt to build up the subgrade and then add 2 to 4 inches of quality topsoil where you will plant grass or gardens. If drainage or a stable walking surface is needed, incorporate crushed rock under high-traffic areas; combining materials gives you stable grades plus good growing medium for landscaping in Heath's climate.
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.
