Why Jonestown Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Jonestown is a small but steadily growing West Texas community (population 2,611) located inside a metro area of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.20% annually and a climate that includes 228 sunny days a year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and about 34.25 inches of rain annually, homeowners face both opportunities and challenges for outdoor projects. The sun-and-rain pattern produces firm, sun-baked topsoils in summer and seasonal runoff during wetter months, creating demand for dependable aggregates. Homeowners look for quality Fill Dirt to level yards, raise low spots, and prepare subgrades—materials that compact predictably, resist erosion, and match local soil so landscaping and foundations settle less over time.Popular Projects in Jonestown This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Jonestown Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Jonestown.
Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and season, but in West Texas delivered fill dirt in Jonestown commonly runs about $10 to $25 per ton (roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard). For an exact, up-to-date price including delivery and minimums, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote — rates can change with fuel and local demand.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Jonestown; supplier names vary by zip code. Typical minimum orders are about 3 tons (our platform minimum), and many areas qualify for free delivery on standard loads, while short loads or remote drops may incur a delivery fee of roughly $25 to $75—check the quote at checkout for exact terms.
West Texas heat dries fill dirt and can cause shrinkage and loose, dusty surfaces in summer, while occasional heavy rains can cause settling, washouts, and rutting if material is not compacted and properly graded. Wind can also blow fine material away on exposed slopes, so good compaction, surface grading, vegetation, or erosion control measures are important to maintain performance.
For driveways choose low-organic structural fill or worked fill that compacts well; for building pads use clean, tested compactable fill specified by your engineer (often required for foundations); for septic backfill use clean fill free of large debris and organic material to avoid settlement and drainage problems. When ordering, note the intended use so suppliers can match local material (sandier vs. clayey) to your project.
Use this method: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt. Example: a 2-car driveway roughly 20' x 20' (400 sq ft) raised 4 inches needs about 4.9 yd3 or roughly 6 tons. Leveling a 1,000 sq ft yard by 4 inches needs about 12.4 yd3 or roughly 15 tons.
Contractors typically place fill in 4 to 6 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller for larger areas. They also recommend moisture conditioning (not too wet or too dry) and proof-rolling for building pads; for permit-related work, follow engineer-specified compaction goals (often 90-95% Standard Proctor).
Fill dirt is usually the most economical option for bulk elevation or backfill but has poor surface drainage and low organic content. Crusher-run or road base is better for driveways because it compacts and drains well, while topsoil is best for planting and lawns. Many homeowners use fill dirt to bulk up grades, then install road base for driveway surfaces and topsoil only where vegetation will grow.
Rules vary: small backyard grading often needs no city permit, but major regrading, new driveways, or septic work can trigger city or county permits and inspections. HOAs may have their own restrictions on driveway materials, finished elevations, or visible grading; check Jonestown city code, Travis County (if applicable), and your HOA before starting significant work.
Standard deliveries are usually scheduled 2 or more business days out, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Seasonal demand and weather (heavy rains or extreme heat) can lengthen lead times and affect prices, so plan ahead in spring and fall when contractor activity is highest.
With proper compaction, drainage, and a suitable surface layer (road base or gravel), a driveway can perform well for many years, but untreated fill dirt surfaces will rut, erode, and require periodic regrading and additional material. For lawns, thin layers of fill topped with good topsoil and proper seeding will settle over the first year and generally need touch-ups; regular drainage maintenance increases lifespan.

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.
