Why McQueeney Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
McQueeney (city population: 2,469) sits inside a growing West Texas metro (metro area population: 2.4+ million) where a steady growth rate of 0.60% annually and a sun-forward climate (218 sunny days per year, hardiness zone 8a) shape how homeowners plan outdoor projects. As yards, driveways, and small additions appear across the community, demand for reliable fill materials rises. Homeowners need fill dirt to level sites, build up grades for proper drainage, and provide stable bases for patios, sheds, and landscaping. Because many local projects tie directly into existing soil conditions, buyers look for fill dirt that compacts predictably, has low organic content, and matches regional subsoil to avoid future settling and rework.Popular Projects in McQueeney This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - McQueeney Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in McQueeney.
Delivery costs vary by distance, load size, and local supplier rates, but expect to pay for a minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) plus a per-mile hauling fee in rural West Texas. In small towns near McQueeney, short local hauls are often included in the quoted price, while longer trips or next-day delivery add fees; use Hello Gravel’s checkout to see transparent pricing for your ZIP code.
Contractors use cubic yards to estimate fill dirt: cubic yards = area (sq ft) × depth (in inches) ÷ 324. For quick planning, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards; one cubic yard of compacted fill dirt typically weighs about 2,200–2,700 pounds (roughly 1.1–1.35 tons), so convert to tons if ordering by weight. Hello Gravel’s material calculator can convert your measurements to the recommended minimum order and suggest extra allowance for compaction and waste.
For driveways and structural pads in McQueeney, use clean structural fill or a well-graded fill dirt with minimal organic matter rather than loose topsoil. Pure fill dirt compacts better when free of roots and debris, but for final driveway surface a crushed stone or engineered base is recommended on top of compacted fill to resist rutting in hot, clay-prone soils. When ordering, note regional variations and add a request in Order Notes for low-organic, well-graded fill dirt.
Natural fill dirt is often fine-textured and can hold water, so it is not the best standalone material for drainage; it can increase surface runoff if compacted into a clay layer. For erosion control in McQueeney’s seasonal storms, combine compacted fill dirt with surface treatments: install slope breaks, geotextile fabrics, mulch or rock armoring, and use drain pipes or crushed stone swales to move water away from slopes. Consider specifying a granular cap or engineered aggregate in areas where water infiltration and erosion are concerns.
Contractors should compact fill dirt as soon as possible after placement while moisture content is near optimal — typically within a few days — to achieve best density. Compact in lifts no thicker than 4–6 inches using a plate compactor for small jobs or a vibratory roller/skid-steer with compaction attachment for larger areas; multiple passes are required and moisture may need adjusting with water or drying time. For foundations or structural pads, specify compaction testing to meet engineering requirements.
Local permitting and code requirements vary by jurisdiction, so check with McQueeney’s city or county building department before major grading or foundation fill. Many projects that change lot grades, affect drainage, or support structures require permits, engineered fill specifications, or compaction testing; septic or floodplain rules may also apply. When in doubt, contact local authorities or an engineer and note permit needs in your Hello Gravel order notes so delivery timing can accommodate inspections.
Fill dirt is typically less expensive per ton than crushed stone, but it does not provide the same load-bearing, drainage, or surface durability for driveways. For McQueeney driveways, a compacted fill dirt subgrade can be a cost-effective way to raise and level grade, but a layer of engineered base or crushed stone on top greatly improves durability and reduces maintenance over time. If budget allows, plan for fill dirt for bulk grade changes and crushed stone or compacted base as the wearing surface.
Hello Gravel’s nationwide minimum order is 3 tons, and many local suppliers have small-load options or yard pick-up but may set their own minimums and fees. In small towns near McQueeney, suppliers often use tri-axle dump trucks for delivery; request a price quote in the checkout for exact minimums and any short-haul or small-load surcharges. If you need less than the minimum, consider splitting a larger project with neighbors or arranging pick-up from a local landscape yard.
Avoid using plain fill dirt as a planting medium because it usually lacks organic matter and nutrients; mix topsoil or imported compost into the top 6–8 inches where plants will grow. Adding sand to fill dirt is rarely recommended for Texas clay soils because it can create a concrete-like mix; instead, amend with organic matter to improve structure and drainage or use a dedicated topsoil layer over compacted fill. For lawns and beds in McQueeney, plan for a compacted fill subgrade topped with 4–8 inches of quality topsoil or blended planting mix.
In West Texas areas near McQueeney, availability and pricing can fluctuate with construction seasons: spring and fall often see higher demand, while heavy rain events or extreme heat can delay deliveries and affect supply. Plan projects early and use Hello Gravel’s scheduling to lock in delivery dates; next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Also expect regional variations due to local quarry or pit activity and trucking capacity, so get a quote and reserve your delivery as soon as your schedule is set.
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.
