Why Magnolia Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Magnolia, West Texas, has a city population of 76,032 and sits inside a rapidly expanding metro area of 2.4+ million. With an annual growth rate of 147.40%, homeowners and builders are pushing new foundations, driveways, and landscaping projects across the city. Magnolia’s climate—hardiness zone 8b, about 233 sunny days per year, and 38.15 inches of annual rainfall—creates periods of intense sun and seasonal heavy rains that affect site drainage and soil behavior. That combination drives demand for dependable aggregates: homeowners want materials that compact reliably, shed water correctly, and resist future settling. Because local geology varies, choosing the right fill material and quantity helps prevent erosion, reduces maintenance, and keeps patios, walkways, and grade work stable through Magnolia’s climate.Popular Projects in Magnolia This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Magnolia Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Magnolia.
You can place fill dirt on top of existing soil, but do some prep first: remove vegetation and top organic layers, fix any soft or saturated spots, and compact the fill in 4- to 6-inch lifts. Magnolia's seasonal heavy rains mean you should slope the fill for drainage away from buildings to reduce erosion and pooling. If you plan to plant on the new grade, cap the fill dirt with topsoil because fill dirt is low in organic matter.
You do not always have to excavate deeply, but prior preparation gives better results: strip turf and organic topsoil where the fill will go, remove debris and roots, and scarify hard surfaces so new material bonds. For larger fills or building pads in West Texas, contractors commonly cut into stable subgrade and then place fill in compacted lifts to reduce future settlement. If you are unsure about soil quality, a local contractor or Hello Gravel sales rep can advise on site prep.
Raising low areas with fill dirt can improve drainage, but you must evaluate the whole yard and local stormwater paths before filling. Magnolia is in a region that can see heavy rainfall, so check for floodplain rules and get any required permits—adding unpermitted fill can cause problems with neighbors and regulators. Proper compaction, grading, and possibly installing swales or drains are necessary to keep water moving away from structures.
No—fill dirt is formulated for volume and compaction, not for plant growth; it typically lacks organic matter and nutrients. For gardens and lawns, use a good-quality topsoil or mix topsoil with compost (see the 70/30 rule). If you must use fill dirt to build up grade before planting, put at least 6 to 12 inches of topsoil over the fill for planting beds.
The 70/30 rule is a common planting mix guideline—about 70% topsoil and 30% compost—for healthy garden soil, and it does not apply to fill dirt. Fill dirt should not be counted as part of that planting mix because it is low in organic material. If you need to amend areas where fill dirt was used, remove rocks, blend in topsoil, and then mix in compost per the 70/30 guideline for best planting results.
Yes—expect some settlement as newly placed fill consolidates, especially after heavy rain. To limit future settling, place fill in thin lifts and mechanically compact each layer during installation; leaving time between placement and final landscaping or construction reduces surprises. In West Texas soils, variations in moisture can increase settlement risk, so proper compaction and drainage are important.
For foundational backfill, use engineered or approved structural fill and follow local building codes—plain fill dirt may not meet requirements near foundations. When backfilling around trees, avoid tightly compacting fill dirt against roots; use loose native soil or topsoil in the root zone and keep heavy compaction away from the trunk. If you are doing structural work, consult your engineer or local building department before ordering material.
Possibly—many municipalities and Montgomery County have rules about grading, fill in floodplains, and large volume imports, so check with Magnolia city hall or the county building department before adding significant fill. Even if no permit is needed, you should call 811 to locate underground utilities and follow local erosion-control rules to prevent runoff. Hello Gravel recommends confirming local codes before ordering to avoid delays or rework.
Hello Gravel delivers fill dirt via local dump-truck partners, typically in tri-axle loads with a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Because material is regionally sourced, appearance and texture may vary, so note any delivery preferences in your order notes.
Yes—truck access, driveway protection, dust, and sightlines for neighbors are common concerns when receiving bulk fill dirt. Protect paved surfaces if heavy trucks will drive on them, arrange a clear drop zone, and communicate timing with neighbors if large quantities are delivered. Also ensure safe handling by marking utilities, using proper protective gear during spreading, and following any local site rules or permit conditions.
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.
