Most deliveries come by tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10 to 14 tons per load; other truck types may be used for smaller jobs. Hello Gravel requires 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.

Calculate cubic yards with (area in ft2 × depth in ft) / 27, then allow for compaction and settlement by adding about 10% to 25% depending on existing soil. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of fill-dirt in this region weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons; for example, raising a 20'×20' area by 3 inches is ~3.7 yd3, allow 25% = ~4.6 yd3, or roughly 6 tons.

Fill-dirt is commonly used in Midway North for filling low spots and backfill, but heavy local clay soils can shrink, swell, and retain moisture which affects stability. For areas that need a stable finished surface, compacted fill-dirt should be followed by an engineered base (crusher run or crushed stone) and attention to moisture conditioning to reduce long-term movement.

Compact in 6 to 8 inch lifts with a plate compactor or jumping jack for small residential fills; use a vibratory roller for larger fills or deeper lifts. Adequate moisture conditioning is important with Texas clay—too dry or too wet reduces compaction efficiency—so consider professional compaction testing for large or critical fills.

Fill-dirt is intended for building up grade and backfilling, but it is not a structural or draining base for driveways. For driveways and drainage you should use crusher run or crushed stone as the base layer because those materials compact tightly and shed water; fill-dirt can be used beneath the base to bring grade up but should not be the top driving surface.

You may need city or county permits for large fills or changes to site drainage; local grading and stormwater rules can apply even in small towns. Check with Midway North city offices and your county, and review any HOA covenants before ordering fill-dirt to avoid fines or required rework.

Fill-dirt is generally available year-round in the Texas region, but heavy rains can make sites muddy and delay deliveries or spreading, while extremely dry conditions can make compaction harder. Plan deliveries around local weather and allow extra lead time during wet seasons; next-day delivery options may be limited on short notice or during peak demand.

Expect some settlement over months to years—commonly 5% to 15% depending on initial compaction and underlying soils—so plan to overfill slightly and regrade after settlement. For lawns, patios, and driveways, follow fill-dirt placement with appropriate topsoil or engineered base material and monitor low spots to add material as needed.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; this service is requestable at checkout but cannot be guaranteed. Hello Gravel does not guarantee compaction services; for professional spreading and compaction, we recommend hiring a local contractor or equipment rental and noting spreading requests in your order notes.
