Frequently Asked Questions - Luling Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Luling.
Fill dirt is a low-organic soil used to raise grades, backfill foundations, or build berms. In Luling's hot, dry West Texas climate it's commonly used to level yards, raise low spots, and prepare subgrades before adding a driveway base or topsoil for planting.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 11 tons), and for 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards (roughly 22 tons). Actual tonnage varies with moisture and compaction, so we recommend ordering a 5–10% overage and confirming the conversion when you check out.
Material prices for fill dirt in West Texas commonly range from about $6 to $18 per ton, with delivery adding $0 to $15 per ton depending on distance and truck size. Additional placement or spreading by a contractor typically runs extra; expect small-area labor or equipment charges rather than free spreading from the delivery driver.
Hello Gravel connects you with local quarries, borrow pits, and aggregate suppliers serving Caldwell County and nearby West Texas areas. Our minimum order online is 3 tons, though some local quarries and cash-and-carry yards may require larger minimums for direct pickup or delivery—ask us to check suppliers serving your zip code.
Permitting depends on project size and location. Small residential grade changes usually do not need a city permit, but inside Luling city limits or for projects that change drainage, exceed certain volumes, or disturb creeks you should check with Luling City Hall and Caldwell County Planning. For large projects near waterways or with significant earthmoving, state rules and erosion control requirements may also apply, so contact local officials before you start.
Fill dirt performs well for raising grade and backfill, but clay-rich fills can shrink, crack, or retain water during wet periods. In Luling's dry climate it's important to compact in lifts and consider mixing with sand or using a graded rock base where drainage and stability are needed to avoid future settlement or mud.
Compact fill dirt in thin lifts—typically 6 to 8 inches—and use a plate compactor or hand tamper for small lifts and a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller for larger areas. For homeowner jobs, rent a plate compactor and compact each lift; contractors use rollers to reach higher density for driveways and structural fills.
Common practice is to place a compacted layer of crusher run, road base, or 3/4-inch crushed limestone on top of compacted fill dirt for driveways and high-traffic areas. Other useful steps include installing a geotextile fabric to separate soft subsoils, adding drainage rock where water collects, and topping fill dirt with topsoil in planted areas.
Properly compacted fill dirt can perform for many years as a structural subgrade, but expect some settlement over the first months to year. For driveways you should cover fill dirt with a durable base (crusher run, road base, or gravel) and periodically regrade, add material, and maintain drainage to avoid erosion and potholes.
Fill dirt is low in organic matter and meant for building grade and structural backfill, not for planting—that's what topsoil is for. Clay can hold water and expand or shrink, so it's usually avoided as a finished base. Crushed limestone or crusher run are preferred as final driveway bases for drainage and load-bearing; use fill dirt underneath when you need to raise elevation or fill large voids.
Many local landscapers and small earthwork contractors in the Luling area offer delivery-plus-spread or full grading services. Prices vary by crew size and equipment, but typical ranges are $50–$150 per hour for machine and operator or $5–$25 per ton for spreading and grading on small projects; request a site visit and written quote for an accurate cost.
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.
