Why Lakehills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lakehills, Texas, has a city population of 993,588 and sits within a West Texas metro area of 2.7+ million. With a modest annual growth rate of 0.40% and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and 34.25 inches of rain annually, homeowners balance bright, dry conditions with seasonal showers. That mix drives steady demand for grading, driveway work, yard regrades, and foundation backfill. Homeowners need reliable aggregates that compact well, resist settlement, and promote drainage—qualities that matter when new construction and landscaping activity follows local growth. Fill dirt is often chosen as the structural subbase where consistent compaction and low organic content are priorities for long-term stability. In Lakehills’ environment, quality fill dirt—low in organic matter and sized for compaction—helps reduce post-installation settling and improves drainage beneath pavements, patios, and planted slopes. It’s ideal for raising low areas, backfilling around foundations, and building level subgrades before adding topsoil. Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets to deliver regionally sourced fill dirt with transparent pricing and scheduled delivery. We require a minimum order of 3 tons, offer standard delivery in 2+ business days, and provide a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion.Popular Projects in Lakehills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lakehills Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lakehills.
Yes—fill dirt is usually cheaper than decorative gravel in Lakehills because it is simply native or quarried subsoil with less processing. Prices still vary by supplier, distance, and whether material contains caliche or rock; Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons and we can provide a local delivered quote for your zip code.
Fill dirt in Lakehills commonly includes native subsoil, clay, sand, and often pieces of caliche or small rock depending on where it was sourced. It is not topsoil (low in organic matter), so it is best used for grading and backfill rather than for planting.
Costs depend on truck size, distance, and supplier, but a typical tri-axle load (roughly 10–12 cubic yards) delivered in the Lakehills area often falls in the mid-hundreds of dollars range. For an accurate price tailored to your address and project size, request a quote through Hello Gravel—standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST.
Calculate volume by multiplying area by depth: 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep is about 12.35 cubic yards (1,000 x 0.333 ft = 333.3 cu ft ÷ 27 = 12.35 yd3). For common depths: 2 inches ≈ 6.17 yd3, 4 inches ≈ 12.35 yd3, and 6 inches ≈ 18.52 yd3—ask Hello Gravel to convert yards to tons for local pricing and truckloads.
No—fill dirt can be compacted to make a stable base, but it will not harden like concrete. If you need a surface that behaves like concrete (for driveways or structural pads), use engineered base materials, cement-treated base, or a concrete pour rather than plain fill dirt.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. As examples, one yard will cover about 100 sq ft at 3.2 inches deep, 50 sq ft at 6.4 inches, or 27 sq ft at 12 inches—adjust depth to estimate how many yards you need for your Lakehills project.
Black dirt or topsoil contains organic matter and is intended for planting and lawns, while fill dirt is low-organic subsoil used to raise grade and backfill. If you want to grow grass or garden beds in Lakehills, add a layer of topsoil over compacted fill dirt.
Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request it during checkout but expect the driver to assess safety and site conditions on arrival. Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading—obstructions, slopes, and local access can affect whether spreading is possible.
Yes—compact fill dirt in lifts (typically 4 to 8 inches) using a plate compactor for small areas or a roller for larger fills to achieve stability and reduce settling. For deep fills, critical grades, or construction near foundations in West Texas soils (which can include clay and caliche), hire a contractor and consider compaction testing or engineered fill recommendations.
Fill dirt is suitable for raising grades, backfilling trenches, and creating rough contours for landscaping, but it is not a planting medium and not usually acceptable as final structural fill without engineering. For foundations, driveways, or final lawn grade, combine proper compaction, engineered base materials, and a top layer of topsoil or appropriate surface material.
Use Hello Gravel to check availability by zip code, choose the amount (minimum 3 tons), and select a delivery date—standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day possible if ordered before noon CST. For the best local price, include delivery address and any site notes (preferred drop spot, spreading request, access issues) so suppliers can provide an accurate quote.
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.
