Why Ladonia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ladonia is a small West Texas city of 870 residents situated inside a larger regional economy of 2.5+ million people. With a modest growth rate of 0.17% annually, the city sits in a semi-arid setting that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rain annually and falls in hardiness zone 8b. Those climate factors—strong sun punctuated by seasonal rainfall—shape local landscaping and construction needs, from driveway preparation to yard grading and foundation backfill. Homeowners in Ladonia look for reliable, compactable materials that stand up to heat, shed water during storms, and minimize settling. Fill Dirt is often chosen when property owners need to raise grades, fill depressions, or stabilize areas before adding topsoil or paving, because the right material reduces the chance of future erosion and costly rework.Popular Projects in Ladonia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ladonia Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ladonia.
Fill dirt is a low-organic, compactable soil used to raise grade or fill voids. In Ladonia it usually reflects local clayey subsoils, so expect fine particles and some natural variation; it is not intended as a finished surface for driveways or patios.
Typical delivered prices in the Ladonia area run about $8 to $20 per cubic yard, or roughly $6 to $15 per ton, depending on moisture, truck access, and distance to local pits. These are ballpark ranges; request a quote on Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price to your zip code.
For a driveway in Ladonia's clay soils, fill dirt is good for bulk raising but not as the wearing surface. We recommend placing compacted fill dirt to build grade, then a 3/6" layer of road base or 3/4" crushed stone on top for drainage and durability.
Standard fill dirt is fine-grained and designed to compact; there usually aren't specific "sizes" like crushed stone. For areas with expansive clay around Ladonia, consider an engineered or granular fill (mix of sand and small rock) for improved drainage and stability, or use select fill topped with road base.
Hot, dry summers can cause clay-rich fill dirt to shrink and crack, while occasional heavy rains can lead to erosion or settling. Proper compaction, surface grading toward drainage, and a wearing layer of rock will reduce maintenance and erosion after storms.
Use 1 cubic yard = about 1.2 to 1.4 tons for fill dirt as a practical conversion; Hello Gravel and contractors commonly use 1.3 tons per cubic yard as a rule of thumb. Example: a 10 ft x 100 ft area at 6 inches deep is 18.5 cubic yards, or roughly 24 tons (18.5 x 1.3).
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, but some local suppliers may offer smaller loads or partial loads depending on truck routing and availability. Drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion; for guaranteed on-site spreading or finishing, ask for that service up front and expect additional fees.
Yes, compaction is important—especially on clayey Ladonia soils—to reduce future settlement; contractors commonly compact in lifts and may rent plate compactors ($75-$200/day) or rollers ($300-$700/day). Geotextile fabric is often recommended under fill to separate soft native clay from the fill and improve stability; material plus installation can add roughly $0.30 to $1.50 per square foot depending on the product and labor.
Fill dirt is cheaper per load and useful for raising grade, but crushed stone or road base provides far better drainage, load-bearing, and longevity for a driveway surface. In Ladonia you will likely save time and money long-term by using fill dirt only as subgrade and placing road base or crushed stone as the driving surface.
Permit needs vary: small-yard projects often don't need a permit, but driveway approaches, significant regrading, or changes to drainage may require county or city approval in Fannin County and the City of Ladonia. Check with Ladonia City Hall and Fannin County Roads & Bridges or your HOA before starting the work to confirm any permits or right-of-way rules.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
