Why Hereford Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hereford, with a city population of 16,670 and located in West Texas inside a metro area of 2.5+ million, is seeing steady, measured development with a growth rate of 0.40% annually. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and roughly 34.25 inches of annual rainfall—creates conditions where grading, erosion control, and stable foundations are frequent homeowner concerns. As yards are regraded for drainage, new driveways are installed, and small building pads are prepared, homeowners need fill dirt that compacts predictably and minimizes future settling. Quality fill dirt helps control runoff during heavy rains, provides a stable base for hardscapes, and reduces the need for repeated regrading, so choosing the right material up front saves time and cost down the road.Popular Projects in Hereford This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hereford Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hereford.
Generally yes. Fill dirt is usually less expensive because it is often unprocessed subsoil with more fines, while gravel requires crushing and screening. Local prices in Hereford vary by supplier and delivery distance, so request a quote for precise pricing.
Fill dirt is native subsoil that contains fines and very little organic matter; it is used to raise grade and fill voids. Gravel is processed rock used for drainage and structural bases; it is more stable and drains much better than fill dirt.
Not as the final top layer. Fill dirt is low in organic matter and compacts, which can make it hard for plants to establish. Add 4 to 6 inches of screened topsoil or amended soil on top of fill dirt for lawns and gardens.
Not by itself. Fill dirt tends to settle and rut under traffic; a compacted gravel or crushed-rock base is recommended on top of properly compacted fill dirt if you need to raise grade first. For driveways, use engineered base materials and compaction to get a stable surface.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (roughly 12 to 15 tons, depending on moisture). Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and availability; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and provides local quotes—check your zip code or request a quote for exact pricing and delivery options.
Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about (1,000 x 2)/324 = 6.17 cubic yards. Order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and uneven spread.
You can place gravel over fill dirt, but the fill must be properly compacted first and, if needed, separated with a geotextile fabric to reduce mixing. Without compaction and separation, the gravel will sink and the surface will become uneven, especially after rain or freeze-thaw cycles.
No, fill dirt is not suitable for drainage. Its fine particles slow water movement; use clean gravel or drainage rock and proper pipe if you need to promote drainage or backfill near foundations.
No. Compacting fill dirt increases density and reduces settlement, but it will not harden like concrete. For a hard, load-bearing surface use compacted crushed stone, crusher-run, or concrete over a properly prepared subbase.
Not reliably. Fill dirt itself does not repel insects; in fact, if it contains organic material or retains moisture it can attract pests. To reduce pest risk, keep fill away from direct contact with foundation walls and maintain proper drainage and clearance around structures.
Avoid using fill dirt as a final planting medium, as a drainage layer, or as the finished surface for driveways and patios. Also avoid placing it against structures without proper compaction and moisture control; consult a builder or engineer for structural fills near foundations.
Yes. Hereford sits on the High Plains where soils can be calcareous, sandy, or cloddy depending on the source; material from different suppliers may vary. If fill will support a structure or affect drainage, consider a soil test and request material details from your supplier.

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.
