Why Jersey Village Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Jersey Village is part of a fast-growing Houston-area community with a city population of 7.9+ million. With a growth rate of 1.10% annually, homeowners and local builders are seeing steady demand for grading, yard rework, and small-scale construction. The local climate — about 204 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 50.00 inches in hardiness zone 9a — means projects must handle both heavy rains and long warm seasons. That combination creates a need for reliable base materials: properly compacted fill prevents settling, supports patios and driveways, and helps control erosion around foundations. For DIYers and contractors alike, clear quantities and materials that suit Jersey Village’s conditions are essential to avoid rework and drainage issues.Popular Projects in Jersey Village This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Jersey Village Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Jersey Village.
Fill dirt is clean, compactable soil used to raise grades, fill low spots, and create a stable base for structures or paved surfaces. In Jersey Village you would typically use it to level yards, raise foundations above seasonal surface water, or build up driveways and pads before installing gravel or pavement. It is not a finished surfacing material and should be covered or compacted to specification when used under driveways or slabs.
Prices vary by haul distance, supplier, and site access, but delivered fill dirt in the Jersey Village/Houston area commonly ranges roughly $12 to $30 per ton. Exact pricing depends on how far the supplier must travel, truck access, and whether spreading is requested; check your zip code on Hello Gravel for an instant quote. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
A loose cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons; after compaction it can be closer to 1.4 to 1.7 tons. To estimate, calculate volume in cubic yards (area in sq ft times depth in feet, divided by 27) and multiply by the tons-per-cubic-yard figure. Example: a 50 ft by 10 ft driveway at 4 inches (0.33 ft) deep is about 6.2 cubic yards, which equals roughly 7.5 to 9 tons of fill dirt.
Fill dirt can work in Jersey Village but you should use clean, low-organic structural fill rather than topsoil because the local clay soils and frequent humidity can hold water and cause settlement. Proper compaction in lifts and attention to drainage are essential to prevent shrinking, swelling, or washouts after heavy Texas rains. For load-bearing uses like under slabs or driveways, follow geotechnical or municipal recommendations for compaction and material specs.
For most residential and light commercial work in Jersey Village contractors commonly target 90% to 95% of the Standard Proctor (or the percent specified by the engineer). Compact fill in thin lifts (typically 6 inches or less) using a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller for larger fills. Control moisture during compaction and perform spot testing if the project is load-bearing or covered by local building permitting requirements.
No. Fill dirt is intended as subgrade or to raise levels and will not provide the structural strength or drainage of crusher run or crushed limestone. For Jersey Village driveways use fill dirt only to build and compact a stable subgrade, then finish with crusher run, limestone, or another aggregate designed for driving surfaces to prevent ruts and erosion. Using the correct base materials lengthens life and reduces maintenance in the local clay and wet conditions.
Hello Gravel typically delivers by tri-axle dump truck and has a 3-ton minimum; delivery fees depend on distance and any tight access on the property. Trucks usually need about 10 to 12 feet of lateral clearance and a firm, level place to dump; soft lawns, narrow streets, low branches, or cul-de-sacs can add time or fees. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, but drivers will assess feasibility on arrival and it is not guaranteed.
Small amounts of fill for landscaping rarely need city permits, but any work that changes drainage patterns, raises grades substantially, or impacts neighboring properties may require a permit from Jersey Village public works or building department. Many neighborhoods also have HOA rules about grading, placement of material, and tree protection, so check with your HOA and the city before delivery. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel for guidance and note permit or HOA requirements in your order notes.
A well-compacted subgrade of fill dirt with the proper aggregate surface can last many years, but expect some settlement and occasional maintenance, especially after heavy rain events common in the area. Driveways finished with proper base material and good drainage require less upkeep than those left with fill dirt on the surface, which will wash and rut quickly. Regular checks for low spots, regrading, and topping with fresh aggregate after storms will prolong performance.
On sloped lots in Jersey Village, shape fill dirt to shed water away from buildings with a minimum slope of about 2% (1/4 inch per foot) away from foundations, and consider swales, terraces, or retaining walls to slow runoff. Use geotextile fabric, compacted lifts, and seeded or mulched vegetation to stabilize slopes, and install French drains or catch basins where concentrated flow occurs. Because Houston-area storms can be intense, plan for overflow paths to prevent erosion and protect neighboring properties.
Order online by entering your Jersey Village zip code, selecting Fill Dirt, and choosing the delivery date; Hello Gravel will connect you with local suppliers and show pricing. In the Order Notes include dump location, any access constraints (narrow streets, overhangs, gate codes), desired depth, and whether you want tailgate spreading; also mention HOA or permit requirements so the supplier can advise. For questions call 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 for help calculating quantities and confirming access.

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.
