Why Memphis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Memphis is a West Texas city with a city population: 1,790 and a metro area population: 2.5+ million. The area shows steady development (growth rate: 0.40% annually) and a climate that supports year-round outdoor work (sunny days: 228/year, annual rainfall: 34.25 inches, hardiness zone: 8b). Those local conditions—frequent sun, periodic heavy rains, and gradual growth—drive demand for practical site work: yard grading, foundation backfill, and drainage fixes. Homeowners and contractors turn to reliable aggregates because proper materials reduce settling, control erosion, and create stable bases for patios, driveways, and landscaping features. Fill Dirt is uncrushed native material used to add bulk and raise grade for landscaping and non-structural fills. In Memphis’s climate (annual rainfall: 34.25 inches and abundant sun), Fill Dirt is a cost-effective choice for filling low spots, building planting berms, and bringing site grades to level before final surfacing. For areas that need a compacted structural base, compactable fill or gravel may be layered over Fill Dirt. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers to schedule dump-truck delivery, choose delivery dates, and note tailgate spreading requests for the driver to assess on arrival.Popular Projects in Memphis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Memphis Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Memphis.
In Memphis (West Texas) delivered fill dirt usually runs in the range of about $12 to $25 per ton, which translates roughly to $9 to $20 per cubic yard depending on how loose or compacted the material is. Final price depends on supplier, truck distance, site access, and whether screening or clean fill is required. Hello Gravel can provide local quotes for your zip code and minimum orders start at 3 tons.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers who deliver screened fill dirt to Memphis and nearby West Texas towns. You can also check local landscape supply yards, nurseries, and construction material suppliers, but using Hello Gravel saves you time by getting multiple local quotes and scheduled dump-truck delivery. Always confirm material description (screened, clean, or recycled) before ordering.
For West Texas conditions, choose fill dirt that is low in organic material, well-graded, and free of roots and debris so it compacts reliably and drains reasonably well. A sandy-clay or clayey-sand blend often works well because it compacts for a stable base but you should avoid highly expansive native clays if you are building near foundations. For critical grades or structures, have a soils test and follow your engineer's recommendation before purchasing large volumes.
Fill dirt density varies with moisture and compaction, but a practical local rule is about 1.2 tons per cubic yard loose and about 1.4 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard when compacted. For driveway and grading work where you compact in lifts, use 1.4 tons/yd3 as a working estimate unless your contractor gives a site-specific figure. Use these numbers when converting quotes given in tons to cubic yards or vice versa.
Contractors place fill dirt in 4 to 8 inch lifts, add moisture if needed, and compact each lift with a plate compactor, sheepsfoot roller, or vibratory drum depending on area size. Small residential spots usually see plate compactors and compacting passes until no further settlement, while larger rural fills use tandem rollers or sheepsfoot rollers for better density. Proper drainage, compaction testing for structural work, and following lift-thickness guidelines are key to avoiding future settling.
Fill dirt used as a subgrade can last many years if properly compacted and capped with appropriate surfacing (gravel, road base, or pavement); however, exposed fill dirt surfaces will erode, rut, and need frequent maintenance. For driveways, expect to regrade and add gravel every 1 to 5 years depending on traffic and rainfall, while a well-built road base with good drainage will require much less frequent upkeep. Seasonal checks for washouts, low spots, and drainage problems are recommended in West Texas.
Permitting rules vary by jurisdiction, so you should check with Memphis city hall and Hall County planning or building departments before importing large volumes or changing lot grades. Permits or notices are commonly required if fills affect drainage, are within a floodplain, alter property elevations near neighbors, or touch on septic/drainfield areas. If you are unsure, contact Hello Gravel or your local permitting office for guidance before ordering.
Delivered fill dirt typically costs more than the raw material pickup price because it includes trucking and drop-off labor, but delivery is often cost-effective for small homeowners who lack a suitable truck and equipment. Pickup can save you the truck fee but requires a heavy-duty vehicle, loader or trailer and time to load and move the material yourself. Ask Hello Gravel for both pickup and delivered quotes to compare total landed cost and convenience for your project.
To raise 1,000 square feet by 4 inches you need about 12.35 cubic yards of material. Using a working conversion of 1.4 tons per cubic yard (compacted), that equals about 17 to 18 tons of fill dirt. For other common examples: 500 sq ft by 6 inches needs roughly 8.3 yd3 or about 12 tons; 2,000 sq ft by 4 inches needs about 25 yd3 or about 35 tons; always add 5-15% for compaction and settlement.
Use fill dirt to raise grades, build up low spots, or backfill — it is not a durable wearing surface for driveways. For driveway riding surfaces in West Texas, crushed limestone or engineered road base is the better choice because they compact to a stiff, erosion-resistant surface and shed water when installed with proper slope and drainage. Typical build-up is a compacted fill dirt subgrade, a geotextile if needed, then 4 to 6 inches of road base or crushed limestone for light-traffic driveways and thicker sections for heavier loads.
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.
