Why Lone Star Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lone Star, West Texas, is a small but steadily growing community with a city population of 1,490 and a measured growth rate of 0.20% annually. Located in hardiness zone 8a, the area sees 211 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 48.62 inches, a combination that drives steady demand for site work, grading, and yard renovation. Homeowners here commonly need materials for foundation backfill, grading low spots, building raised beds, and fixing drainage after heavy storms. That local mix of sun, rain, and gradual development means people look for reliable, low-settlement aggregates that perform well over time and reduce the risk of erosion and standing water around structures and landscaping features.Popular Projects in Lone Star This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lone Star Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lone Star.
Delivered fill dirt prices in West Texas vary with distance, site access, and volume. Expect rough local ranges of about $10 to $25 per ton (or about $13 to $35 per cubic yard) for nearby deliveries, with higher costs for long rural runs or restricted access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and can give an exact quote for your zip code and preferred delivery date.
Choose a clean, low-organic, well-graded fill (often called select or structural fill) that compacts well rather than topsoil. In Lone Star's arid climate, mixes with some clay or sand that compact tightly are common, but avoid high-organic or high-silt material that erodes or loses strength.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers 324 square feet at 1 inch depth. So divide your area in square feet by 324 to get cubic yards per inch, then multiply by about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard to get tons per inch (example: a 1,000 sq ft driveway needs ~3.09 yd3 or ~3.7 to 4.3 tons per inch). Use Hello Gravel's calculator or send your dimensions for an exact estimate.
Compaction performance depends on material, moisture, and layer thickness; contractors typically place fill in 6-8 inch lifts and aim for 90-95% of Standard Proctor density for structural fills. Lone Star's native clays can be expansive or variable, so moisture conditioning and proper compaction are essential; for foundations or heavy loads get a geotechnical recommendation.
Fill dirt is appropriate for raising grade and backfill but is not a good wearing surface for driveways. For driveways and load-bearing pads, crushed limestone or road base provides better drainage and load distribution; common practice is to put compacted fill dirt to grade, then install a crushed-rock base layer as the finished structural surface.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers in West Texas and can provide multiple quotes so you can compare prices and delivery terms. Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and material specs, so request a delivery quote, minimums (3 tons), and any photos or product specs before you order.
Fill dirt can help regrade slopes and build berms but by itself it does not solve drainage or erosion risks. Use proper slope design, swales, erosion control fabric, vegetation or riprap and consider a compacted granular toe or retaining features to limit washout during intense rain events common after dry periods.
Standard steps are clear and grade the site, place fill in controlled lifts (6-8 inches), moisture-condition as needed, compact each lift, and then finish grade. For small residential jobs expect contractor or equipment costs that commonly range from several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on volume and access; per-cubic-yard installed rates often fall roughly in the low tens of dollars but get local quotes for accurate pricing.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt can remain stable for many years, but loose or poorly compacted fills can settle within months to a year and require topping. For driveways, fill dirt without a rock base will deteriorate quickly under heavy truck use and usually needs topping or replacement within a few seasons.
Permitting rules vary by city and county; many jurisdictions require permits for substantial grading, changes to drainage, or land disturbance beyond a certain area or volume. Check with Lone Star city hall or the county permitting office before large deliveries or major regrading, and be sure not to place material in public right-of-way without permission.
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.
