Why Hewitt Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hewitt is a growing West Texas city of 14,610 residents within a broader metro area of 2.5+ million, seeing steady expansion at a 0.80% annual growth rate. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and roughly 35.91 inches of annual rainfall—creates a mix of sun-driven landscaping needs and seasonal runoff concerns. That combination drives steady demand for reliable aggregates: homeowners and small contractors regularly need materials to raise low spots, regrade yards, backfill around foundations, and prep sites for drought-tolerant plantings. Quality matters here because materials must compact well, resist washout during heavy rain, and arrive in the right quantity and grade to keep projects on schedule.Popular Projects in Hewitt This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hewitt Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hewitt.
Delivery costs vary based on the supplier, distance, and order size. Many Hello Gravel orders in the Hewitt area qualify for free delivery, but fees can apply for long hauls or small orders; exact delivery charges are shown at checkout. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for an extra fee if you order before noon CST.
Fill dirt prices in West Texas commonly range, depending on local supply and quality, but you can expect roughly $8 to $25 per ton delivered for typical fill dirt. Prices fluctuate with regional availability and moisture content, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel for an up-to-date quote and note the site shows all fees before checkout.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards of material. That is roughly 9 to 12 tons of fill dirt depending on how wet and compacted the material is; we recommend ordering 10% to 20% extra to allow for compaction and settling, so plan on about 11 to 12 tons.
Fill dirt is fine for bringing up low spots and rough grade work, but it is not the best finished base for driveways on Hewitt’s heavy clay soils. Clay can hold water and shrink-swell with heat, so a compacted structural base like crusher run or crushed stone with proper drainage is a better long-term choice for driveways. If you use fill dirt, compact it well and cap it with an appropriate aggregate to avoid rutting and erosion.
Fill dirt by itself can settle, erode, or wash in heavy rains unless it is well compacted and has good surface drainage. In Hewitt’s climate, success depends on compaction, adding a protective surface (grass, mulch, or gravel), and directing water away from the area. For load-bearing uses, combine fill dirt with a gravel base or other engineered backfill for better durability.
Contractor rates vary with job size and equipment needed, but small jobs are often charged by the hour ($50 to $120 per hour) or by the ton ($20 to $60 per ton) for spreading and compaction. Prices depend on access, slope, required compaction lifts, and whether a roller or plate compactor is needed; get multiple local quotes and ask for references. Hello Gravel can deliver materials, and local contractors can assist with spreading and compaction if drivers can't perform spreading.
Longevity depends on preparation: properly placed in lifts and mechanically compacted with good drainage, fill dirt can provide a stable base for years. If loose or poorly drained, it may settle and cause uneven surfaces within months to a few years. For patios and sheds, consider a gravel cap and compaction; for driveways, use an engineered stone base on top of compacted fill dirt.
Use fill dirt for raising grade, filling trenches, and non-traffic subgrade work; it compacts well but contains more fines and less structural strength. For Hewitt driveways, crusher run (crushed stone with fines) is usually the better option because it compacts to a firm surface and sheds water more reliably. Many projects use fill dirt for bulk grade adjustments and then a layer of crusher run or crushed stone as the finished base.
Regulations vary: small grade adjustments usually do not require permits, but major regrading, changes to drainage, or retaining walls over a certain height may need city or county permits and HOA approval. Check the City of Hewitt and McLennan County building departments and your HOA covenants before starting work, especially when altering drainage or changing front-yard grades.
Hello Gravel partners with local West Texas suppliers and can show available fill dirt options for your Hewitt zip code; minimum orders typically start at 3 tons. Delivery is done by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle) with standard 2+ business day lead time; some suppliers can offer spreading at the driver’s discretion but this is not guaranteed, so plan to request spreading at checkout or hire a local contractor for paid spreading and compaction.
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.
