Why Hughes Springs Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hughes Springs (city population: 4,080) sits in West Texas where modest growth and a distinct climate shape local projects. With a growth rate: 0.24% annually and a regional pattern of sunny days: 215/year paired with annual rainfall: 45.88 inches, homeowners here balance dry, sunbaked summers with periods of heavy moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions - Hughes Springs Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hughes Springs.
Prices vary by supplier and season, but in Hughes Springs expect roughly $10 to $25 per ton delivered for basic fill dirt. Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons; standard delivery is 2+ business days and may be free in many areas, while next-day delivery (orders before noon CST) has an extra fee. Exact pricing depends on your zip code, haul distance, and site access, so check your quote at checkout or contact our team.
Hello Gravel partners with local quarries and aggregate haulers that serve the Hughes Springs area; specific suppliers depend on your zip code. Minimums commonly start at 3 tons through Hello Gravel, though some local yards or long-haul deliveries may require 5 to 10 tons. Enter your zip code on our site or contact sales so we can show you available suppliers and any supplier minimums.
Hughes Springs often has pockets of clay and silt that retain water, which can slow drainage and increase settlement risk when you add fill. Fill dirt works well as non-planting structural fill, but you should manage surface drainage, avoid trapping water, and compact in lifts so the new fill doesn't settle or wash out after heavy rain. Consider a drainage plan—swales, grades, or pipe—and tell your supplier about wet areas so they recommend the right material.
Place fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or vibratory roller until you reach target compaction; moisture conditioning helps achieve better compaction. For deeper fills, use engineered lifts and consider geotextile fabric over soft spots, and always prevent large loose pockets near slopes or drainage channels. If your project affects structures or driveways, have a compaction test or engineer’s recommendation done for critical areas.
Use cubic yards = area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27, then convert to tons. For 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches (0.333 ft) you need about 12.35 cubic yards, roughly 15 to 16 tons of fill dirt. At 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need about 18.52 cubic yards, roughly 23 tons. These estimates assume typical settled weight; order 5-10% extra for compaction and grading.
Small backyard or minor grading projects often do not require a permit, but larger grading, changes to drainage, or work that affects neighboring properties commonly do. Check with Hughes Springs city hall or Cass County building/permit office and your HOA before starting, since rules and permit thresholds vary. If you need documentation for a permit or engineered fill, our team can help connect you with local suppliers or contractors who provide compaction reports.
Fill dirt is low-organic subsoil used to raise grade and backfill; it is not designed as a wearing surface. Crusher run or road base contains crushed rock and fines and compacts into a stable base suitable under driveways and paving, while topsoil is rich in organic matter for planting and will compress and erode if used as structural fill. For a driveway in Hughes Springs, use fill dirt to build grade, road base/crusher run as the compacted base, and a wearing surface (gravel, asphalt, or pavers) on top.
Heavy rains can cause erosion and settlement if fill is not compacted and drained properly, while hot, dry periods can lead to shrinkage cracks in clayey fills. Freeze-thaw cycles are rare compared with northern climates but can occur and may aggravate poorly drained fills. Plan for erosion control (straw, silt fence, or seed), proper grading to shed water, and compaction to reduce long-term settling.
