Why Mount Vernon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mount Vernon has a city population of 5,620 and is part of a metro area with a population of 2.7+ million. With a growth rate of 0.40% annually, modest but steady development is driving local demand for practical site work and reliable materials. The local climate—34.25 inches of annual rainfall, 228 sunny days per year, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—means homeowners need materials that handle both seasonal rains and long sunny periods. For many projects in Mount Vernon, from regrading yards to preparing shed pads or improving drainage along driveways, quality aggregates are essential: they provide compaction, stabilize slopes, and reduce erosion between storm events and dry spells. In Mount Vernon’s semi-arid setting, clean, low-organic-content fill dirt is a practical choice for backfill, grade building, and creating stable bases for structures. Properly placed and compacted fill dirt reduces future settlement and helps direct runoff after storms, which matters given 34.25 inches of annual rainfall and 228 sunny days per year. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with trusted local suppliers and haulers to source regionally appropriate fill dirt, schedule deliveries by dump truck, and provide transparent pricing and timing—standard delivery in 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST—so you get the right material when you need it.Popular Projects in Mount Vernon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mount Vernon Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Mount Vernon.
Many Mount Vernon customers get free delivery through Hello Gravel, but if a delivery fee applies it is commonly between $50 and $150 for a single truck within the local area. Final cost depends on supplier distance, truck type, and access conditions; large or long-haul deliveries may be higher.
In West Texas, fill dirt prices vary by source and volume. Expect roughly $10 to $30 per cubic yard (about $8 to $25 per ton) for standard, unamended fill dirt, with lower per-unit prices for larger contractor loads and higher prices for delivered, screened, or tested material.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 7 to 9 tons depending on moisture and compaction). For 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards, which is roughly 20 to 26 tons. These are estimates; final amounts can change based on local soil density and how much compaction you plan.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order, and many local suppliers will deliver a single dump truck to a residential address. Typical tri-axle trucks that serve Mount Vernon carry roughly 10 to 15 tons of loose fill dirt, so single-truck deliveries are common but check truck size and minimums when ordering.
Fill dirt generally compacts well when placed in thin lifts and mechanically tamped, but local clay and limestone fragments can hold moisture and cause differential settlement if not properly compacted. For projects requiring structural stability, plan on compacting in 4 to 6 inch lifts with a plate or roller; additives like lime, sand, or crushed rock are sometimes recommended by contractors to improve drainage and stability for heavy loads.
Fill dirt is suitable for general grading and raising low areas, but it is not an ideal wearing surface for driveways. For driveways and building pads in Mount Vernon’s hot and sometimes wet climate, use fill dirt to build up grade and then cap with roadbase or crushed rock designed for traffic and drainage to prevent rutting and erosion.
Some local suppliers or contractor partners can provide compaction services or refer rental equipment, but these services are not guaranteed through every delivery. If you need compacting done, request it when ordering or plan to rent a plate compactor or hire a local contractor after delivery.
Mount Vernon and Franklin County may have local rules for driveway ties, driveway aprons, floodplain work, or major grading changes; HOAs can also set surface and setback standards. Check with the Town of Mount Vernon planning or public works and your HOA before starting large grading or driveway projects to confirm permit requirements and acceptable materials.
Plain fill dirt is useful for shaping grades but tends to be less permeable than engineered mixes, so it is not the best final material for drainage swales. For swales and erosion-prone slopes, combine fill dirt for shaping with a drain layer of gravel or sand, proper slope grading, and erosion controls such as mulching, seeding, or erosion blankets to keep runoff stable.
Hello Gravel sources material from trusted local suppliers in the West Texas region and Franklin County area to reflect local geology and reduce haul costs.

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.
