Why Lake Highlands Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake Highlands homeowners are part of a growing community with a city population of 38,000 and access to a metro area population of 4.6+ million, and the area is expanding at an annual growth rate of 2.10%. With a hardiness zone of 8a, about 218 sunny days each year, and average annual rainfall of 38.97 inches, local projects can move forward year-round but still require thoughtful site preparation. That steady growth and favorable climate drive demand for reliable bulk materials for yard grading, foundation backfill, drainage work, and new landscaping. Homeowners choose quality aggregates and fill materials to reduce settling, control stormwater, and create stable bases for driveways, patios, and planting beds—making clear specs and accurate delivery essential to project success.Popular Projects in Lake Highlands This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake Highlands Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lake Highlands.
Delivered fill-dirt in Lake Highlands commonly ranges from about $8 to $25 per ton depending on supplier, how close they are, and whether the material is screened or clean. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and can show local pricing for your zip code; screened or specialty fills usually cost more. Ask for a delivery quote to get an exact price for your address.
Use this rule: 1 cubic yard covers 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth, and 1 cubic yard of fill-dirt is roughly 1.2 tons. That means about 0.0037 tons per sq ft per inch of depth; for example, a 1,000 sq ft area at 3 inches needs about 11 tons (plus 5-10% for settlement). Always round up and order extra to allow for compaction and grading adjustments.
Yes, compaction is usually a separate line item; many contractors include compacting with site prep but will bill equipment and labor separately. Hello Gravel drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but do not guarantee compaction services. Confirm compaction scope and cost with your contractor before ordering material.
Lake Highlands sits on expansive Texas clay that shrinks and swells with moisture, so plain fill-dirt can settle and retain water if not properly placed and compacted. For grading and near foundations, use compacted engineered fill or a mix with granular material, and include proper slope and drainage to keep water away from structures. Consult a local contractor or engineer for critical foundation work because clay behavior can require specific solutions.
Yes—because Hello Gravel sources locally, you can often find screened or cleaner fill-dirt options near Lake Highlands; fully washed soil is less common and usually used for specialty projects. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see local supplier options and add notes requesting 'screened' or 'clean' fill. Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck with a 3-ton minimum.
Place fill-dirt in 4-6 inch lifts and compact each layer rather than dumping a large mass and compacting once; control moisture during placement to get reliable compaction. Use geotextile fabric over very soft clay, maintain a 2% slope away from buildings for drainage, and install a proper aggregate base (road base or crushed stone) under driveways and patios rather than relying on loose fill-dirt as the finished surface. These steps reduce settling and improve long-term performance in North Texas climate.
Frequency varies by traffic and installation quality: a well-compacted, engineered base may need little topping for many years, while loosely placed fill under high-traffic areas can require spot repairs or topping every 1-3 years. For landscaping grades, homeowners typically top up low spots every 3-7 years as settling and erosion occur. Inspect after heavy rains and patch low areas promptly to avoid larger regrading jobs.
Fill-dirt is usually cheaper per ton and good for raising grade, but it does not compact into a stable, draining base like crushed limestone or road base. For durable, low-maintenance driveways in Lake Highlands' clay soils, contractors typically recommend a compacted road base or crushed limestone underlayer; it costs more upfront but lasts longer and reduces maintenance over time. Hello Gravel can deliver both materials so you can compare quotes for your project.
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.
