Why Matador Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Matador is a small West Texas town with a city population of 590 and a steady growth rate of 0.90% annually. The local climate—with 264 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 23.41 inches in hardiness zone 7a—means landscaping and construction projects must account for strong sun, occasional heavy rains, and generally dry soils. Homeowners and small contractors in Matador often need reliable materials to build driveways, raise building pads, repair erosion, and manage grading on ranch and residential lots. That demand favors durable, well-graded aggregates and dependable deliveries because remote locations and seasonal work windows make material timing and consistency especially important. Fill Dirt is a practical choice in Matador for raising grades, backfilling footings, and stabilizing low spots where native topsoil is too loose or organic-rich to compact well. In a climate with 23.41 inches of annual rainfall and frequent sun, properly screened fill dirt reduces settling and improves drainage when placed and compacted in lifts. Hello Gravel connects Matador homeowners with local suppliers and haulers, offers transparent pricing, and schedules delivery on dump trucks so you get the right fill dirt when you need it. Standard delivery requires 2 business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST.Popular Projects in Matador This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Matador Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Matador.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Matador vary with supplier, haul distance, and truck size, but homeowners in West Texas commonly see rough ranges of $10 to $25 per ton (about $12 to $30 per cubic yard using a regional density). Rural deliveries to Matador can be toward the higher end because of longer hauls. Get an exact quote in checkout or contact our team to check current local pricing for your zip code.
Fill dirt weight varies by moisture and composition, but a practical West Texas rule is about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard; we use 1.2 tons/yd3 as a common estimate. To convert: cubic yards = (area in ft2 * depth in inches) / 324; tons = cubic yards * 1.2. Always round up and ask your supplier for the exact delivered density if weight matters for hauling or permits.
Use the formula cubic yards = (square feet * inches of depth) / 324. For example, to raise 1,000 ft2 by 4 inches you need ~12.3 yd3 (about 15 tons using 1.2 t/yd3); at 12 inches that same area needs ~37 yd3 (about 44 tons). Ask us to calculate for your exact square footage so you order the right amount and avoid multiple deliveries.
Fill dirt is a cost-effective choice for bulk raising and grading but is not ideal as a finished driveway surface because it usually lacks the angular stone and fines that compact into a stable driving layer. For Matador driveways, use fill dirt to build up low areas, then cap with crusher run or road base (and a wearing layer like crushed stone or asphalt) for durability and drainage. For yards and planting areas, topsoil is better on the surface while fill dirt is fine underneath.
Matador sits in an arid region with clayey and caliche-influenced soils that can shrink, swell, or develop hardpan when wet/dry cycles occur. Good compaction in thin lifts (4 to 8 inches) and proper moisture control are key to reducing future settlement and erosion. Expect some natural settling over the first year and plan for final grading and surface material after settling.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and most regional dump trucks serving Matador are tri-axle units that carry roughly 10 to 15 cubic yards per load (about 12 to 20 tons depending on material). Suppliers sometimes run smaller loads or split loads for small jobs, but delivery fees may apply for partial truck deliveries. Check your quote for exact truck size and any additional delivery charges for rural Matador addresses.
Permitting and driveway regulations can vary; Matador and Motley County may require permits for creating new driveway approaches to county roads, altering drainage patterns, or substantial regrading. There are few HOAs in Matador, but if you are in a platted subdivision check any deed restrictions. We recommend contacting Motley County offices or your city planning department before major grading and keeping documentation of the material delivered.
For small jobs or tight spaces, a plate compactor or jumping jack is effective for each 4 to 6 inch lift; larger areas benefit from a small vibratory roller or rented walk-behind roller. Compact fill dirt in thin lifts (4 to 8 inches), adjust moisture to near-optimum before compacting, and pay extra attention to soft spots—geotextile fabric can help stabilize soft subgrades common in West Texas. If a structural fill is required (for driveways or foundations), consult an engineer about compaction specs and testing.
Because Matador is dry and windy at times, keep delivered fill dirt covered if it will sit more than a few days to reduce dust and erosion; tarps or mulch can help. Stage material on flat, accessible areas away from drainage paths and complete compaction and final grading promptly after placement. If windblown dust is a concern during delivery, ask about smaller, more frequent loads or on-site watering options.
