Why Lufkin Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lufkin has a city population of 56,559 and sits within a steadily growing West Texas region with an annual growth rate of 0.70%. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b—supports ongoing residential building and landscaping activity. That steady demand drives frequent needs for basic site-prep materials like fill dirt for grading, foundation backfill, and driveway bases. Homeowners want dependable, locally sourced material because inconsistent fill can settle or hold water, leading to drainage problems and extra work. Clear product specs, quantity guidance, and reliable delivery help both DIYers and contractors avoid surprises and finish jobs correctly the first time. Fill dirt for Lufkin projects should be clean, compactable soil with minimal organics so it consolidates under load and resists erosion during rainy periods. Given the area's 34.25 inches of annual rainfall and long stretches of sun, proper compaction and planned drainage are essential for lawns, pads, and sloped areas. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who understand regional soil characteristics, provides transparent pricing and quantity calculators, and schedules delivery on standard 2+ business days with next-day options available when requested. You can add order notes for placement preferences; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion.Popular Projects in Lufkin This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lufkin Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lufkin.
Delivered fill dirt in Lufkin typically ranges from about $12 to $28 per ton depending on source, truck distance, and order size. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum; get an exact price by entering your zip code or requesting a quote since local suppliers and delivery fees vary.
Choose clean, low-organic fill dirt (sometimes called structural fill) that compacts well and has minimal topsoil or vegetation. Because Lufkin soils tend toward clay and loam, ask your supplier about clay content; for better drainage mix in coarse sand or a gravel layer where needed.
Use this quick formula: tons = (area in ft2 * depth in inches) / 270, which accounts for typical local fill density. For example, to raise 1,000 ft2 by 3 inches you would order about 12 tons; add 5-10% extra for compaction and settling.
Pure fill dirt with high clay content will drain slowly and can hold water after heavy rains common in East Texas. For improved drainage, grade the site away from structures, use a free‑draining base layer (sand or gravel), and consider subdrains or French drains for low areas.
Small residential deliveries are usually fine, but significant grading, changes to drainage, or large import volumes may require permits from the City of Lufkin or Angelina County. Check with local building and planning departments and your HOA before ordering large loads to avoid fines or remediation.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grade but not as a finished driveway surface. For a durable Lufkin driveway, use compacted fill dirt to build grade, then install a well-compacted crusher run or base rock topped with surface stone for strength and drainage.
A properly compacted fill should be stable for years, but expect initial settling during the first 6-12 months and plan for touch-ups. Control erosion with grading, vegetation, and mulch; in Lufkin’s climate keep slope and drainage maintained to prevent washouts after heavy rains.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries normally arrive by tri-axle dump truck. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, next-day is available if ordered before noon CST; include delivery notes for drop placement and be aware tailgate spreading is at the driver’s discretion.
Clear the drop zone of vehicles, low branches, and debris and mark underground utilities before delivery. Provide clear placement instructions in Order Notes, create a solid approach for the truck, and protect lawns with plywood if needed to minimize turf damage.
Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers, and material composition varies regionally; ask for ‘clean fill’ or a material description if contamination is a concern. For gardens or regulated sites request documentation or lab tests, and use screened topsoil rather than fill dirt for planting beds.
Only engineered, tested fill compacted to spec should be used under foundations or slabs. Because Lufkin’s native clays can shift and settle, consult a geotechnical engineer and follow local code before using fill dirt in structural applications.
Suppliers source locally so fill dirt in Lufkin typically reflects East Texas geology—more clay and loam than West Texas. Ask suppliers about moisture content, clay percentage, and compaction recommendations, and include any color or composition notes at checkout.
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.
