Why Montague Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Montague is a small, steadily growing West Texas community with a city population of 710 and a metro area population of 5,000. Local development is measured but consistent—Montague’s growth rate is 0.50% annually—so homeowners often undertake incremental projects like slab fills, yard regrading, driveways, and foundation backfill rather than large-scale subdivisions. The climate and geography matter: Montague sees about 230/year sunny days and 28.00 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 7b, conditions that influence drainage needs and soil stability. For those projects, reliable aggregates are essential—homeowners seek quality fill dirt to create stable subgrades, correct elevations, and protect structures from water pooling and erosion in a low-density, rural setting.Popular Projects in Montague This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Montague Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Montague.
Fill dirt is natural soil with low organic content used to raise grade, build pads, and fill holes. In Montague and West Texas it is commonly used for yard grading, drive approaches, and under patios where structural or engineered fill is not required. Because local material reflects West Texas geology, expect some clay and silt that compacts well but can shrink when very dry.
Typical delivered prices in West Texas near Montague generally fall in the range of $20 to $35 per ton, roughly $15 to $25 per cubic yard depending on density and delivery distance. Prices vary with local supplier availability, haul distance, moisture content, and truck access; check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote for an exact price. Orders under the platform minimum or remote deliveries may incur extra fees.
Montague is a small community, so fill dirt suppliers and trucking companies are usually located in nearby towns such as Vernon, Wichita Falls, Bowie, and Graham. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and contracted haulers in your area and provide options for optional tailgate spreading, which drivers perform at their discretion. For full spreading and compaction services, ask for local contractors or landscapers who offer sitework and compaction.
For West Texas conditions, aim for low-organic fill with modest clay and sand content—a sandy-clay mix often balances compaction and drainage. Avoid high organic topsoil as it compresses and settles; for areas needing better drainage, blend in coarse sand or small gravel. For foundation and structural work, use engineered fill specified by an engineer rather than generic fill dirt.
Loose fill dirt typically converts at about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and particle size, with compacted material weighing more per cubic yard. For rough planning use 1.3 tons per cubic yard and then add about 10% extra to allow for settlement and minor grading adjustments. The Hello Gravel material calculator can convert your measurements and recommend a quantity based on your project dimensions.
For driveways, a compacted base of 6 to 8 inches of crushed gravel or road base over stabilized subgrade is common; fill dirt alone is not ideal for a final driving surface. Building pads usually require engineered fill compacted in 4- to 8-inch lifts to 90-95% of Standard Proctor, which should be specified by an engineer. For simple yard grading and landscaping, 4 to 6 inches of compacted fill dirt per lift is typical, compacted in stages to reduce settlement.
Hot, dry summers in Montague can cause clay-rich fill to shrink and crack, while occasional heavy rains may cause erosion or washouts on fresh fills. To minimize issues, compact in lifts, finish grades with proper slope and drainage, and protect new fills with temporary erosion control or seed/mulch. Schedule major grading outside of forecasted heavy-rain periods and maintain drainage swales to reduce long-term maintenance.
Small landscaping fills usually do not require permits, but any large grading, changes to drainage, or fills in regulated floodplain areas may need a permit or approval from Montague County or the City of Montague. Check with the Montague County permitting office or city hall before major earthwork or when altering drainage patterns to avoid code issues. If your project involves foundations or structural pads, your building permit process will typically address required fill specifications.
Common alternatives include Class II road base and crusher run for driveways and areas needing structural strength and drainage, and engineered fill for foundations and building pads. Road base and crusher run compact well and make better driving surfaces than plain fill dirt, while engineered fill is designed, tested, and guaranteed for structural work. Use fill dirt for grading, low-load areas, and landscaping, but choose road base or engineered materials where load-bearing or drainage performance matters.
The most reliable windows in West Texas are spring and fall when extremes of heat and rain are less likely, making compaction and finishing easier. Avoid scheduling deliveries during active heavy-rain periods to reduce the risk of washouts and during the hottest midsummer weeks when rapid drying can cause shrinkage. If you need faster service, Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST, subject to supplier availability.
Material suppliers typically do not provide long-term warranties on natural fill dirt because its behavior depends on site conditions, compaction, and drainage. Some suppliers or contractors may offer limited guarantees on delivery quantity or material quality at the time of delivery; for installation performance (settlement or erosion) you should get written terms from the contractor performing compaction or grading. If you have issues with material delivered by Hello Gravel, contact our customer service and we will work to resolve it in line with our policies.
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.
