Why Kerrville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Kerrville is a growing West Texas community of 36,976 residents within a metro area of 2.5+ million, and homeowners here are seeing steady development driven by a 2.90% annual growth rate. The local climate—228 sunny days each year, an average rainfall of 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates distinct needs for yard and site work. As lots are graded, driveways extended, and drainage reworked to handle occasional heavy rains and sun-driven drying, demand for reliable bulk materials rises. Homeowners and contractors alike look for predictable, regionally sourced aggregates that match local soils and drainage expectations, so projects finish on time and perform well through seasonal cycles.Popular Projects in Kerrville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Kerrville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Kerrville.
A quick rule of thumb: multiply square feet by desired depth in inches, then multiply by 0.004 to get tons (area x depth(in) x 0.004 = tons). Example: a 500 sq ft area filled 6 inches deep needs about 12 tons. This estimate assumes typical West Texas fill dirt; moisture and compaction can change the final weight so add 5-15% extra for settlement and grading.
Local fill dirt in the Hill Country is typically a mix of subsoil, small rock, and caliche with few organics, and colors range from tan to brown. Use it to raise grades, build up low spots, or for non-structural backfill behind walls and under lawns. It is not recommended as a finished driving surface or as final topsoil for planting without amendment.
For structural uses like driveways or foundation backfill, contractors in Kerrville usually prefer engineered or compactible 'select fill' or road base/ crushed limestone instead of plain fill dirt. Fill dirt can be used for bulk grading and rough backfill, but structural areas need clean, well-graded materials compacted in lifts per engineer recommendations. Always follow your engineer or contractor for foundation and load-bearing applications.
Kerrville has hilly terrain, limestone/chert subsoils, and seasonal heavy rains that increase erosion and runoff risk if fill is not compacted or protected. Hot, dry summers can make newly placed dirt dusty and harder to compact without moisture, while intense rain events can cause washouts on unprotected slopes. Plan erosion control, compaction in lifts, and proper drainage for long-term stability.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that often offer screening and different grades of fill, and dump-truck delivery is standard with a 3-ton minimum order. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but compaction is usually a separate service provided by local contractors. Request screening, delivery details, and spreading options in your order notes and we will confirm availability before dispatch.
Because Hill Country soils often contain clay and caliche, mix or place fill so that water is directed away from structures and not trapped between impermeable layers. Use free-draining material next to foundations and install proper swales or French drains where needed. If you are tying new fill into existing slopes, benching and compaction help reduce slippage and improve drainage continuity.
Compact fill dirt in 4-8 inch lifts with a plate compactor or roller until you reach the compaction specified by your engineer; this reduces settlement and erosion in Kerrville’s variable soils. Add light moisture during hot dry conditions to aid compaction, but avoid over-wetting which reduces strength. For critical areas like foundations or road bases, use a compaction test via a geotechnical engineer or contractor.
Allow time for settlement: minor projects may be stable after a few weeks if properly compacted, while larger fills can take several months to fully settle. For structures, driveways, or anything load-bearing, follow engineer guidance and wait until specified compaction and testing are complete. For planting, topsoil should be added over fill to support vegetation and reduce erosion.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grade and backfill but is not a good finished driveway surface because it compacts poorly and can rut or erode. Crushed limestone or road base is preferred for Kerrville driveways because it compacts into a stable, draining surface that resists rutting. A common approach is to use fill dirt for bulk grade work, then place and compact a road-base layer for the driving surface.
Minimum orders are generally 3 tons for online delivery through Hello Gravel, and prices vary by supplier, screening, and delivery distance. In the Kerrville/West Texas area, typical delivered price ranges for basic fill dirt often fall in a broad band depending on season and service level, so request a quote for the most accurate price. Always check availability and delivery windows for your zip code before ordering.
Yes. Summer heat increases dust and may require watering for compaction, while heavy rains or flash floods can delay deliveries and make sites inaccessible. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day options when available, but severe weather can affect scheduling and truck access. Plan ahead during wet seasons and allow extra time for coordination.
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.
