Why Mitchell County Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mitchell County serves homeowners in a growing area with a city population of 8,782 and access to a metro area of 4.6+ million residents. With an annual growth rate of 2.10% and a climate in hardiness zone 8a—about 218 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 38.97 inches—local development and landscaping projects are frequent. That steady population growth and generally favorable weather mean more driveways, foundation backfills, yard leveling, and grading work where reliable fill is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions - Mitchell County Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Mitchell County.
Typical delivered prices for loose fill-dirt in rural Mitchell County generally run in the range of about $10 to $30 per ton, depending on availability, haul distance, and moisture content. Remote deliveries, long-haul charges, or specialty screened fill can push costs higher, so get a live quote for an accurate number. Hello Gravel will connect you with local suppliers and show delivered pricing for your zip code.
Most tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt, which is commonly about 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and density. Local suppliers serving Mitchell County commonly deliver within a 30 to 75 mile radius; deliveries beyond that are possible but often add a per-mile fee. Exact truck size and radius depend on the supplier and local road/weight restrictions.
Mitchell County soils often include clayey mixes and zones with caliche (calcium carbonate) and occasional sandy layers, reflecting West Texas geology. Clay and caliche can make compaction tricky: clay needs proper moisture control to compact well, while caliche can be very hard and variable in particle size. Always test the existing soil and condition fill dirt (moisture, fines) before compacting for best results.
Permit requirements vary: small landscaping fills often do not need permits, but raising grades for building pads, changing drainage, or working in a public right-of-way may require a county permit or a TxDOT driveway permit if you tie into a state road. HOAs in Mitchell County may have rules on driveway appearance or grading, so check with your HOA and the Mitchell County permitting office before ordering large quantities. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or local authorities to confirm requirements for your specific address.
For structural fills under pads or driveways, aim for 90% to 95% relative compaction (standard or modified as specified by a geotechnical engineer). Small areas can be compacted with a vibratory plate or jumping jack compactor in 4-6 inch lifts; larger areas benefit from a sheepsfoot or vibratory roller and compacting in thin lifts. In hot, dry West Texas conditions, lightly moistening very dry fill before compaction improves density and reduces cracking; avoid compacting overly wet material.
Fill-dirt is best for raising grade and filling low spots but is not a stable wearing surface for driveways or a reliable structural base for slabs. Crushed limestone or engineered base provides better load-bearing capacity, drainage, and long-term stability in West Texas soils and is usually recommended as the top layer over compacted fill. A common approach is to place structural fill-dirt to finish grade, compact it properly, then install a crushed rock or engineered base layer for driveways and building pads.
Fill-dirt surfaces used as temporary roads or rough driveways can start showing ruts, dust, and washboarding within a season and typically need periodic regrading, additional material, and compaction. With good compaction, a topcoat of crushed rock, and erosion control, longevity improves substantially; without a base, expect ongoing maintenance every 1 to 3 years. Plan for seasonal checks after heavy rains to address settling and drainage issues quickly.
Approximate delivered tons for typical fills are: a 1-car driveway lane (12 ft x 20 ft) raised 4 inches needs about 3 to 5 tons; a 2-car driveway (20 ft x 20 ft) at 4 inches needs about 6 to 10 tons. A small 20 ft x 20 ft building pad raised 6 to 12 inches usually requires about 12 to 25 tons, depending on lift height and compaction. These are estimates; use Hello Gravel's material calculator or provide your dimensions for a precise quote.
Hello Gravel works with regional quarries and local dirt haulers that supply Mitchell County; specific supplier names vary by zip code and season. Common additional fees include long-haul mileage beyond a supplier's free zone, small-order surcharges for orders near the minimum, or access fees for difficult drop locations; fees are quoted up front during checkout. Enter your address on Hello Gravel to see supplier options and any delivery fees that apply to your location.
Fill-dirt is generally not recommended as the final material for septic drain fields because fine, clay-rich fills can impede percolation and violate TCEQ or local health regulations; native soils or engineered stone are usually required. For erosion control, fill-dirt can be used to regrade slopes but must be stabilized with vegetation, erosion control blankets, or rock to prevent washout in heavy rains. For roadbase, fill-dirt alone is typically insufficient; a compacted engineered base or crushed rock is the preferred wearing and structural layer in Mitchell County conditions.
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.
