Why Lexington Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lexington, West Texas, has a city population of 4,410 and is growing at about 0.80% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and placement in USDA hardiness zone 8b, the local climate supports steady residential development and outdoor projects. That modest growth and favorable weather mean homeowners and contractors are regularly regrading yards, building pads for sheds, repairing drainage, and preparing sites for landscaping and construction. For those projects, quality aggregates matter: property owners need fill material that compacts reliably, resists washout during heavy rains, and provides a stable base for foundations, driveways, and planting beds. Choosing the right fill dirt reduces future settling, minimizes grading work, and helps keep projects on schedule in Lexington’s sun-filled, occasionally wet conditions.Popular Projects in Lexington This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lexington Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lexington.
In West Texas, delivered fill dirt prices typically run in a broad range because of local supply and hauling distance; expect approximately $12 to $35 per ton delivered as a rough guide. Final price depends on your zip code, supplier availability, and order size — Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows exact quotes in checkout. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets that serve Lexington and West Texas; these suppliers source regionally so materials reflect local geology. You can check availability by zip code on our site or contact our team at 855-241-8884 (or text 844-407-3734) for supplier details and delivery options. For large or specialized loads, local excavators and landscape contractors often provide pickup and placement services.
Fill dirt weight varies with moisture and soil type, but a practical rule is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard; using 1.3 tons/cu yd is a common estimate for planning. For 1,000 sq ft: 1 inch depth = about 3.09 cu yd (≈4.0 tons), 3 inches = 9.26 cu yd (≈12.0 tons), 6 inches = 18.52 cu yd (≈24.0 tons), and 12 inches = 37.04 cu yd (≈48.0 tons). Always allow a 5-15% contingency for settlement and compaction when ordering.
West Texas soils often include clays that shrink and swell with moisture changes, so plain fill dirt can consolidate and crack in hot, dry weather or become soft when saturated. For areas prone to flash flooding or poor drainage, combine fill dirt with coarser materials (sand or gravel) and proper grading to encourage runoff. For structures or places with strict drainage concerns, get a site-specific recommendation from an engineer or ask Hello Gravel to source a more engineered fill product.
For driveways and farm roads, fill dirt is a good subgrade but should be covered with road base or crusher-run and compacted to provide strength and a wearing surface. Building pads normally require clean, compactable granular fill with low organic content and controlled compaction — plain loose fill dirt alone is usually not sufficient for foundations. Consult a local contractor or engineer for bearing and compaction specs and consider using a geotextile or engineered base where heavy loads are expected.
Permitting depends on project scope: small yard grading or minor fills often do not require permits, but substantial grading, changes to drainage, or development near floodplains typically need approvals from Lexington city hall or Lee County. Always check local zoning and stormwater rules before large deliveries, and contact your local permitting office for specific thresholds. If in doubt, Hello Gravel can help you understand typical local requirements but recommend confirming with municipal authorities.
For structural fills and building pads, aim for 90-95% of Standard Proctor density as a common specification, and 85-90% may be acceptable for non-structural yard fills. Small landscaping areas can be compacted with a walk-behind plate compactor, while larger areas require a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller and staged lifts of 6 to 12 inches. Moisture conditioning, compacting in lifts, and testing by a soils lab are important steps to achieve reliable results.
Fill dirt is primarily subsoil used to raise grades and fill voids and is not engineered for strength or drainage, while crusher-run and road base are crushed rock mixes designed to compact strongly and shed water, making them superior for driveways and roads. Imported engineered fill is specified where controlled particle size, low organic content, or low-expansion soil is needed for foundations or slabs. Choose fill dirt for basic grade raising and inexpensive bulk fill, and choose road base or engineered materials when structural performance or drainage matters.
Yes. Hello Gravel's standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, but local supplier schedules and weather can add lead time. Wet weather can delay placement and compaction, and spring or fall busy seasons may increase wait times, while summer heat affects handling and moisture. Plan ahead, especially for large orders, and schedule your preferred delivery date in checkout.
If you are importing large volumes, have the material tested for contaminants and composition to ensure it is clean and appropriate for your project; Hello Gravel can help identify suppliers who provide material descriptions. Recycled clean fill from construction can be acceptable if free of debris and contaminants, but contaminated or organic soils must be disposed of according to local rules. For leftover material, contact local landscapers or the county transfer station for disposal or reuse options.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
