Why Hempstead Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hempstead is a small but growing community (city population 13,370) sitting inside a larger West Texas metro (2.5+ million) that is seeing steady development and ongoing residential projects. With a growth rate of 1.27% annually and a climate that averages 228/year sunny days and 40.20 inches of rain, homeowners here balance dry, sunny summers with periodic heavy rainfall events. That mix drives demand for reliable earthwork and drainage solutions on new builds, yard re-grades, and garden projects. Homeowners and local contractors seek quality aggregates to control settling, improve grading, and protect foundations and landscape beds — and they need clear guidance on material choice, quantities, and delivery logistics tailored to Hempstead’s climate and soils.Popular Projects in Hempstead This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hempstead Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hempstead.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the West Texas/Hempstead area commonly range from about $10 to $30 per ton, depending on material quality, screening, and haul distance. Local factors like truck access, offload difficulty, and seasonal demand can push prices higher, so check your zip code for a firm quote through Hello Gravel.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which for most local suppliers equals roughly 2.5 to 3 cubic yards of fill dirt. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with optional next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST; some addresses may incur additional delivery fees for long drives, tight sites, or special handling.
For backfill and general grading, a screened, low-organic fill dirt that compacts well is best. For driveways, we recommend using fill dirt only as a compacted subgrade and placing crusher run or washed gravel on top for strength and drainage; engineered fills that mix sand and small rock are a good compromise where drainage and compaction matter.
Hempstead's clay soils can hold moisture and swell, so plain fill dirt can be prone to poor drainage and movement if not prepared correctly. Mitigate risks by placing fill in 4-6 inch lifts with proper compaction, improving drainage (swales, French drains), and using sand/gravel mixes or geotextile where needed to break up clay layers and aid drainage.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.35 cubic yards (1,000 * 4/12 /27). In West Texas a practical weight estimate is roughly 2,200 lbs per cubic yard (about 1.1 tons/yd3), so you would need approximately 13.6 tons; always round up to allow for compaction and settling and confirm with a supplier quote.
Equipment and labor rates vary, but expect mini-excavator or small backhoe rentals with operator at roughly $100 to $200 per hour, skid steer rates around $75 to $150 per hour, and common compaction/roller rental or operator costs from $60 to $150 per day. Many local contractors offer flat-rate pricing for small jobs; get written estimates that include materials, machine time, and site prep.
Longevity depends on use and drainage: compacted fill used as subgrade under gravel or pavement can last many years with proper drainage, while loose fill in exposed areas may need regrading within 1 to 5 years after settling and erosion. Plan seasonal checks, regrading after heavy rains, and occasional replenishing or topping with gravel to control erosion and maintain surface levels.
Fill dirt is the least expensive option and works well as a structural backfill, but it drains poorly and is not ideal as a finished driving surface. Crusher run compacts tightly and makes a good stable base, while washed gravel provides the best drainage and surface wear; for long-lasting driveways a compacted fill or crusher run base with a washed gravel wearing layer is often the best compromise.
Significant grading, changing drainage, or large-volume fill projects can trigger city or county permits in Hempstead and Waller County, and HOA rules may restrict visible changes or materials. Before ordering large volumes, contact the City of Hempstead building or planning department and your HOA to confirm permit or design requirements.
Hello Gravel works with a network of regional suppliers that serve Hempstead, and standard lead time is typically 2+ business days for delivery with next-day availability for orders placed before noon CST when possible. During busy seasons or for large truckloads you may see longer lead times, so request a quote and delivery window for your zip code.
Ask for screened, low-organic fill dirt and note any color or composition preferences in your order notes; mark a clear drop zone, and identify overhead lines or tight access for the driver. Also request guidance on compaction lifts, ask about tailgate spreading at checkout (driver discretion), and take photos of the site for supplier reference.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
