Why Hockley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hockley is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 26,340 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million, expanding at about 1.05% annually. Its semi-arid climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—shapes local landscaping and construction needs. As housing and infrastructure respond to steady population growth, homeowners and contractors routinely require dependable materials for grading, building pads, and drainage work. Quality aggregates matter because they reduce settlement, support foundations and driveways, and help control stormwater in Hockley’s sun‑heavy but occasionally intense rain events. Easy access to the right material saves time and money on projects ranging from small yard regrades to new construction.Popular Projects in Hockley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hockley Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hockley.
Fill dirt is subsoil with low organic content used to raise or level ground, fill holes, and build berms. In Hockley and West Texas it is commonly used to raise low spots, build pads for sheds or pools, and to correct drainage slopes before landscaping. It is not suitable as planting soil without a topsoil layer on top.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and material quality, but a common delivered range in West Texas is roughly $10 to $30 per ton. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and shows transparent, location-based pricing at checkout; delivery fees or next-day charges may apply. For an exact quote, check your zip code or contact our team.
Calculate the cubic yards needed by multiplying area (sq ft) by desired depth (ft) and dividing by 27, then convert to tons (one cubic yard of fill dirt is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons depending on moisture). For example, to raise 100 sq ft by 4 inches: 100 * (4/12) / 27 = about 1.23 cu yd, roughly 1.5 to 1.7 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a quick estimate and add 5-10% for settling and compaction.
Hockley’s hot summers and occasional heavy storms mean soils can be dry then quickly saturated, so changes to grade can affect runoff and erosion. Clay or expansive subsoils may need compaction and proper slope to keep water away from foundations and neighboring properties. Always plan drainage routes, avoid obstructing natural flow, and consider erosion control for rainy seasons.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of the work and local jurisdiction; small yard leveling often needs no permit, but large fills, changes to drainage, or work near waterways or lot lines can require county or municipal approval. Check with your local permitting office or homeowner association before starting major grading. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel for guidance and allow time for permitting.
Fill dirt is typically delivered by tri-axle dump truck and scheduled through Hello Gravel’s local haulers. Clear access, mark any utility lines, and choose a drop location; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but will assess safety on arrival. Remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and you can select delivery date during checkout.
Fill dirt can be used for general grade raising, but for driveways and structural footings you need a compacted, engineered base or structural fill and a granular layer like crusher run. For footings and load-bearing applications, consult an engineer or local contractor and plan for compaction testing and proper material specification. Using plain fill dirt without proper compaction can lead to settling and damage.
Fill dirt is mostly mineral subsoil with little organic matter and is meant for raising grade, not planting. Topsoil contains organic matter for lawns and gardens, while crusher run is crushed stone mixed with fines used for compacted bases and driveways. Choose fill dirt for bulk raising, topsoil for planting, and crusher run for structural base layers.
Because fill dirt lacks nutrients and organic matter, you should cover it with 4-6 inches of topsoil before planting or laying sod. Allow time for proper compaction and settlement—minor projects may set in a few weeks, but larger fills can take months to fully settle. Watering and a soil test help determine any amendments needed for successful turf establishment.
Place fill in 6-8 inch lifts and compact each layer with a plate compactor or roller until the layer is firm; moisture control helps achieve good compaction. For critical or structural projects, hire a contractor and request compaction testing (proctor/density tests). Proper staging and compaction are especially important in West Texas where soils and moisture vary widely.
Use commercial-intent keywords like 'fill dirt delivery Hockley TX', 'buy fill dirt near me', 'fill dirt price per ton Hockley', 'bulk fill dirt delivery West Texas', and 'contractor fill dirt installation Hockley'. Add modifiers such as 'next day', '3 ton minimum', or 'compacted fill' to refine results for delivery speed, minimum order, or installation needs. Hello Gravel’s site and zip-code lookup will show local supplier pricing and delivery windows.
Contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible and include photos of the material and drop location; we will work with the supplier and hauler to resolve the issue. We handle disputes and will explain options consistent with our refund policy, but timely notice and photos help speed resolution. For installation or compaction problems, consider hiring a local contractor to assess condition and repairs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
