Why Menard Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Menard, Texas (city population 1,530; metro area population 1,911) sits in a semi-arid West Texas landscape that blends rural character with steady growth. With a growth rate of 2.50% annually, homeowners and local contractors increasingly take on yard, foundation, and small-site projects that require dependable materials. The climate—210 sunny days per year, 22.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 7a—creates conditions where soils are often dry and can erode quickly during sporadic rains. That combination raises demand for materials that stabilize grades, fill low spots, and provide a solid base for outdoor improvements. Homeowners look for quality Fill Dirt to reduce settling, improve drainage, and avoid repeat fixes under Menard’s sun-and-storm cycles. Fill Dirt is especially well suited to Menard projects like backfilling foundations, raising low areas, and preparing pads for sheds and patios. Because Fill Dirt is generally low in organic material and large debris, it compacts reliably in Menard’s dry summers and holds up when the area receives its 22.00 inches of annual rainfall. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting you with local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, offering transparent pricing, scheduling options, and guidance so you get the right material and quantity for a stable, long-lasting fill job.Popular Projects in Menard This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Menard Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Menard.
Prices vary with supplier, distance, and truck access, but fill dirt in West Texas commonly falls in a broad range. Rural Menard deliveries often cost more because of longer hauls and smaller orders; contact Hello Gravel for an exact, upfront quote for your zip code. We require a 3-ton minimum and can show delivery fees and options during checkout.
Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks for fill dirt, which usually carry about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 12-15 tons) per load. Smaller or partial loads are available but may incur higher per-ton delivery fees; next-day delivery can be requested if you order before noon CST and the route is available.
For Menard's arid climate, a sandy or sandy-loam fill dirt with some small gravel provides better drainage and stability than heavy clay. For driveway bases, use fill dirt as grade/fill under a compacted layer of crushed stone; avoid using raw fill dirt as the final driving surface.
Fill dirt weights vary, but a practical range is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. Example: to raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches (common driveway grade), you need about 12.3 cubic yards or roughly 15-20 tons of fill dirt. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.
Compact fill dirt in lifts of about 4-6 inches using a plate compactor or roller, and add moisture as needed to get good compaction. For building pads or structural work consult a local engineer; for driveways, finish with a compacted stone base and proper slope for drainage to handle Menard's occasional heavy rains.
In West Texas heat, dry fill dirt can shrink and loosen, and flash floods can cause erosion and settling. Expect some settling over the first year and plan for regrading and erosion control (silt fences, berms, or vegetation) near drainage paths. Using well-draining mixes and compacting in layers reduces maintenance needs.
Fill dirt is mainly for raising grade and non-structural backfill. Crushed stone is a better choice for driveway wearing surfaces and stable base layers because it compacts and drains well. Topsoil is for planting and landscaping and is not suitable as structural fill or driveway base.
Some rural roads and bridges around Menard may have weight or seasonal restrictions. For very large or heavy deliveries, check Menard County road rules and Texas DOT guidelines; Hello Gravel can flag route issues and coordinate with local haulers. If you expect road or access concerns, notify us early so we can confirm whether permits or alternate drop locations are needed.
Order full truckloads when possible to lower the per-ton delivery cost, consolidate nearby projects, and schedule deliveries during weekday hours to reduce access complications. Ask suppliers about locally sourced material to reduce haul distance and provide an exact drop location to minimize labor or rehandling fees.
Fill dirt is acceptable for general backfill, but it is usually not the right material for septic drain fields where free-draining sand or gravel is required by code. For landscaping, use fill dirt to raise grade and then cover with topsoil for planting; consult your septic installer and local codes before using fill dirt around septic systems.
Provide a clear drop location, gate codes, driveway width and surface, and any obstacles like low-hanging trees or steep grades. Note if you want tailgate spreading requested, but remember drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
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.
