Why Los Fresnos Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Los Fresnos is a growing community of 21,560 residents in West Texas, and its steady 1.32% annual growth is driving new housing and landscaping projects across the area. Located in hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, the town’s semi-arid climate and expanding residential footprint create steady demand for reliable aggregate supplies. Homeowners and contractors here are regularly moving earth for grading, foundation backfill, yard builds, and driveway repairs—projects that require clean, compactable materials. That makes quality Fill Dirt a common need: it provides a stable base, helps control settlement, and supports landscaping and construction work in a region that is also part of a larger metro area of 2.7+ million people.Popular Projects in Los Fresnos This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Los Fresnos Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Los Fresnos.
Typical delivered prices for fill dirt around Los Fresnos vary with supplier and haul distance; expect roughly $8 to $25 per ton delivered in many cases, with small orders toward the higher end. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Exact pricing depends on local availability, truck access, and whether tailgate spreading is requested.
Local sources usually include landscape supply yards, construction material suppliers, and local earthwork contractors; Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and haulers in the Los Fresnos area. Minimums commonly start at 3 tons (Hello Gravel minimum), but small landscape yards may require 3-5 tons and contractors often order 10+ tons for efficiency. Ask suppliers about truck type and where they can safely dump on your property before scheduling.
Fill dirt is made mostly of subsoil and tends to have more fines and clay than crushed rock, so it does not drain as well on its own in heavy rain events common during storm season. For improved drainage in Los Fresnos, contractors often mix a drainage layer (coarse sand or crushed stone) or install a perforated pipe under the fill for larger fills. Always consider local grade, slope, and nearby floodplain rules when planning drainage.
Quantities vary by project: raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 3 inches needs about 8 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 9 to 15 tons depending on moisture). Driveway subgrade repairs commonly use 20 to 60 tons depending on length and desired depth, while a 1,000 sq ft slab subbase at 4 to 6 inches typically requires about 12 to 18 cubic yards (about 14 to 24 tons). Use a material calculator and provide exact area and depth when ordering to get a precise quote.
Local clay soils can make compaction tricky: fill dirt will compact, but it may not achieve the stability of engineered base material on its own. For structural uses like driveways or building pads, contractors usually recommend a compacted rock or road base layer on top of or instead of plain fill dirt, or engineered fill and testing for load-bearing applications. Always have the contractor proof-roll and verify compaction with a compaction test for critical subgrades.
In Los Fresnos' climate, a fill-dirt driveway or loose fill path typically needs minor maintenance every 1 to 3 years, such as regrading low spots and adding small top-up loads after heavy storms. Areas that see vehicle traffic or concentrated water flow may require more frequent attention or conversion to a more stable surface (gravel or crushed stone). Proper initial compaction and drainage reduce maintenance frequency significantly.
Choose fill dirt when your main goal is raising grade, backfilling, or filling large voids inexpensively; it is not ideal as a finished driving surface. For driveways or areas that need structural support and good drainage, crushed limestone or road base is a better choice because they compact harder and shed water. Sand drains well but shifts under load, so it is best used for bedding or drainage layers rather than primary structural fill.
Permitting requirements vary with project scope and location; small landscaping fills usually do not need permits, but large imports, work in regulated floodplain areas, or changes to drainage may require city or county permits and inspections. In Los Fresnos you should check with the city planning or Cameron County offices and any HOA before moving significant volumes of material. If your project affects street access or requires large truck deliveries, let Hello Gravel know so we can coordinate safe delivery times.
For small residential jobs, contractors typically use a skid steer or small loader to spread material and a vibratory plate compactor or jumping jack for compaction; larger jobs will use a roller (sheepsfoot or vibratory) and a track loader. Contractors may also use laser levels for consistent grades and water trucks to aid compaction in dry conditions. Tell your contractor about local clay soils so they plan the right compaction method and testing.
Avoid major work during peak storm and hurricane season (roughly June through November) when heavy rains can cause washouts and make compaction difficult. Late fall through spring (roughly November through April) is often the best window for grading and compaction in the Los Fresnos area because soils are easier to work and weather tends to be more stable. Also plan deliveries around forecasted storms and consider next-day options if you need a quick turnaround.
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.
