Why Lakewood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lakewood, West Texas, Texas, is a growing city of 993,588 residents. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners balance long dry spells with occasional heavy rains. That combination drives steady demand for reliable site preparation, grading, and yard repairs as new construction and remodels adapt to regional drainage and soil conditions. Whether you are leveling a yard, filling low spots, or preparing for hardscape and foundation work, local projects need consistent, compactable material. Homeowners seek quality fill dirt to reduce settling, control erosion, and create stable subgrades that stand up to Lakewood’s climate and growth-driven construction activity.Popular Projects in Lakewood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lakewood Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lakewood.
Fill dirt is subsoil material with little organic matter used to raise grades, backfill foundations, and build up low spots. In Lakewood's West Texas climate it's commonly used to level yards, create pads for buildings, and fill trenches where drainage and compaction are important. Because we source locally, texture and color may vary based on regional geology.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and access, but in West Texas you can expect a wide ballpark range for delivered fill dirt rather than a fixed number. Hello Gravel lists material-plus-delivery pricing during checkout and our minimum order is 3 tons, so enter your zip code for an instant quote that reflects local hauling and supplier rates.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers across West Texas and most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks. Our platform enforces a 3-ton minimum order; some suppliers or small-hauler partners may have higher minimums or access-based fees, which will be shown during checkout.
No — fill dirt alone is not recommended as a finished driveway surface. In Lakewood's hot, dry climate it compacts but offers poor wear resistance and can rut or erode; use fill dirt to raise and level the base, then install a structural layer such as road base or crusher run and a wearing course like gravel or pavement for durability.
Place fill dirt in 4 to 6 inch lifts and compact each lift with a mechanical compactor to achieve a firm, uniform base. For structural work, aim for industry-standard compaction (typically 90% to 95% of standard Proctor) and consider geotextile fabric or engineered fill if your project carries significant loads; consult a local engineer for foundations or retaining walls.
Use this rule: cubic yards = area(ft2) * depth(in) / 324. A practical conversion for fill dirt is roughly 1.2 tons per cubic yard, so tons = cubic yards * 1.2 (regional density varies). Example: 1,000 sq ft raised 6 inches = 18.5 cubic yards ≈ 22.2 tons using the 1.2 factor; always round up for compaction and waste and verify density for your specific material.
Fill dirt used only as a base will last indefinitely if properly compacted and covered with an appropriate wearing surface; however, a surface made only of fill dirt will degrade quickly. In West Texas expect to perform grading, replenishment, or re-compaction after heavy rain events and periodically (every 1-3 years) if the area sees vehicle traffic, unless you install a structural base and top layer for longer-term durability.
Fill dirt is subsoil best for raising grade and backfilling but contains little organic matter, so it is not suitable for planting (use topsoil) and not ideal as a wearing surface. Crusher run or engineered road base contains crushed rock and fines designed for compaction and load-bearing, making it the preferred choice for driveways and roads. Pick fill dirt for bulk elevation work, road base for structural support, and topsoil for landscaping.
Permit and HOA rules vary by city, county, and association. For minor landscape fills you often will not need a permit, but larger grading jobs, retaining walls, or fills near floodplains or easements may require a city or county permit and HOA approval; check Lakewood city building or county permit offices and your HOA before ordering large volumes.
West Texas can have intense, short-duration storms that increase erosion risk on loose fills. Protect exposed fill with proper compaction, grade it to shed water, add temporary erosion controls (silt fence, straw wattles), and establish vegetation or permanent surface cover quickly to reduce washouts and sediment leaving the site.
DIY can save on labor but requires equipment (compactor, possibly a skid steer) and experience with compaction and drainage; you still pay for material and delivery. Contractors add labor and equipment costs but provide compaction, grading, and disposal of excess—get multiple local quotes from Hello Gravel-approved contractors and compare them to rental and hourly costs for a realistic project estimate.
Expect tri-axle dump trucks and plan a clear drop zone with truck access, firm ground, and a turnaround if possible to avoid property damage. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if needed, but remember drivers will assess feasibility on arrival; order at least 3 tons and schedule with Hello Gravel at least 2 business days ahead for standard delivery or before noon CST for next-day options when available.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
