Why Lake Dallas Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake Dallas has a city population of 12,700 and sits inside the fast-growing Dallas-Fort Worth region (metro area population of 2.7+ million). With a growth rate of 0.80% annually, steady development and home improvement projects are common as homeowners update yards, add patios, and regrade lots. The local climate—228/year sunny days, a hardiness zone of 8b, and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches—creates a need for reliable base materials that control drainage, prevent settling, and support landscaping structures. For many homeowners, Fill Dirt is a practical, cost-effective solution for raising grade, filling low spots, and providing a stable base for hardscapes or turf before topsoil is added. In Lake Dallas’ climate, Fill Dirt works well as structural fill when it is free of organics and properly compacted to resist erosion from the area’s 34.25 inches of rain. Homeowners use it for yard regrading, building berms, and backfilling around foundations and retaining walls. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who understand regional soils and delivers by dump truck with clear pricing and scheduled windows. We offer standard 2+ business day delivery and next-day options for orders placed before noon CST, and our team can help estimate quantities and coordinate delivery to your property.Popular Projects in Lake Dallas This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake Dallas Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lake Dallas.
Fill dirt is natural mineral soil with minimal organic matter used to raise grades, fill low spots, or build up pads. In Lake Dallas it’s commonly used to level yards near the lake, raise foundations above seasonal standing water, or to create subgrade under driveways and patios. It is not a finished surface material, so you should cover it with topsoil, gravel, or base rock depending on the project.
Costs vary by supplier, but in the Lake Dallas area fill dirt often runs in the typical range of about $8 to $25 per ton depending on quality, quantity, and regional availability. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and often negotiates delivery into the price; delivery fees in DFW commonly range from free for larger loads to $50-$150 for small orders or long hauls. For an exact price and delivery window, use Hello Gravel’s online quote or contact our team with your zip code.
One inch of coverage over 1,000 square feet equals about 3.09 cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.3 short tons per cubic yard, so plan on roughly 3.4 to 4 tons to cover 1,000 square feet by 1 inch. For common projects: a 10' x 50' driveway (500 sq ft) needs ~1.54 cubic yards per inch, or about 1.7 to 2 tons per inch of depth.
Yes, larger grading or changes to lot elevations often require permits from the City of Lake Dallas or Denton County, and many HOAs require prior approval for visible changes or shoreline work. Always call 811 to locate underground utilities before any digging or placement, and check with your HOA and the city planning or public works department for permit requirements. Hello Gravel recommends confirming approvals before scheduling a large delivery.
North Texas’s cycles of intense summer heat and heavy rain can cause settling, shrink-swell, and erosion in poorly installed fill. Clay-rich or expansive subsoils common in the region may hold water and shift, so proper compaction and drainage are critical to limit future settlement and washouts. Expect that newly placed fill will settle over months and plan for erosion control during storm seasons.
Install fill dirt in thin lifts (typically 4 to 8 inches loose) and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to achieve a firm subgrade. For building pads and driveways, work with a soils engineer or contractor to meet required compaction standards and consider geotextile fabric over soft areas to stabilize the base. Keep material moisture in mind—slightly damp soil compacts best; overly wet or bone-dry dirt will be harder to compact properly.
Fill dirt is intended as fill and subgrade material, not as a finished driveway surface. Crusher run or compacted base rock is much better for driveway durability and drainage because the angular rock locks together when compacted. In Lake Dallas it’s common to use fill dirt to bring grades up, then cap with several inches of compactable base rock or crusher run before a gravel or paving surface for a long-lasting driveway.
A properly installed, well-drained subgrade made with compacted fill dirt can last many years as the foundation for a driveway or yard, but the surfacing material (gravel, asphalt) will drive most maintenance needs. For a gravel driveway over fill dirt expect to regrade or add fresh gravel every 2 to 5 years depending on usage and storms, and to inspect for rutting or erosion after heavy rains. Regularly maintain drainage (ditches, swales) to reduce washouts and minimize long-term settlement.
Yes, placing fill near Lewisville Lake or in mapped floodplain areas may trigger additional rules, permits, and environmental requirements from the City of Lake Dallas, Denton County, or state agencies. Work with the city planning office and check FEMA flood maps before any major placement; shoreline or bulk grading often needs erosion control measures and permits. If your lot is adjacent to the lake, your HOA may also have restrictions to protect shoreline and views.
Common local practices include blending fill dirt with sand or crushed rock fines to improve drainage and compaction, or placing a thin layer of crusher fines on top to create a stable working surface. For structural pads, contractors may add a compactable base rock layer and sometimes lime or cement stabilization if soils are very clayey. Tell Hello Gravel in Order Notes if you prefer a specific blend so suppliers can match local mixes when available.
