Why Nacogdoches Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Nacogdoches is a growing community with a city population of 44,055 and a broader metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 2.33% annually, 228 sunny days per year, and location in hardiness zone 8b, the area is seeing steady demand for residential construction, yard regrades, and landscape upgrades. Homeowners and contractors need dependable materials as new builds, driveways, and drainage fixes become more common. Fill dirt is a foundational material used to raise grades, form building pads, and backfill around foundations and hardscapes. Because low-quality fill can settle or hold moisture, Nacogdoches residents look for consistent, regionally sourced fill dirt that compacts well and matches local site conditions to avoid future maintenance and rework. In a climate that averages 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, selecting clean, compactable fill dirt helps maintain grade, improve drainage, and reduce settlement risks around patios, sheds, and foundations. Fill dirt with minimal organic content is best for structural fills and should be placed and compacted in controlled lifts to perform reliably. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets to deliver regionally appropriate fill dirt on a schedule you control. We provide transparent pricing, delivery date options, and local expertise to help you get the right fill dirt for your Nacogdoches project.Popular Projects in Nacogdoches This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Nacogdoches Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Nacogdoches.
Delivery cost for fill dirt in Nacogdoches varies by supplier distance, dump truck access, and the amount ordered. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; many local suppliers include delivery in the checkout price for nearby addresses, while longer hauls may add a delivery fee. You will see exact delivery and any fees when you enter your zip code at checkout or request a quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and contracted haulers that service Nacogdoches and surrounding counties, so you can get names, pricing, and delivery dates during checkout. For direct local sourcing, check with landscape companies, soil suppliers, and commercial haulers in Nacogdoches County; many operate tri-axle dump trucks and sell by the ton or cubic yard.
Fill dirt can raise or level a driveway grade but is not a suitable wearing surface; in Nacogdoches you should use compactable fill dirt to build up the grade, then finish with 4-6 inches of road base or crusher run for strength and drainage. Local hot summers and occasional heavy rains make a compacted base plus a proper surface layer important to prevent rutting and erosion.
For septic backfill, use clean, non-organic fill dirt free of large roots, construction debris, and excessive clay to avoid long-term settling and drainage issues. If your project involves drain fields or leach lines, follow your county health department and installer guidance—often a sand or granular backfill is preferred directly around pipes, with clean fill dirt used to bring final grade to finish elevation.
Measure the area (length x width) in feet and decide the depth (inches) you need to add; multiply length x width x depth and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. As a rough conversion, 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically equals about 1.2 to 1.4 tons loose (and slightly more when compacted), so multiply cubic yards by that factor or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a site-specific estimate.
Fill placed under foundations and driveways should be compacted in thin lifts—commonly 6 to 12 inches—using the proper compaction equipment until you reach the engineer-specified density. For small areas a plate compactor or jumping jack is typical; for larger areas a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller may be required and a compaction test may be needed for permit inspections.
Local contractors typically use dump trucks to deliver fill dirt, skid steers or small excavators to spread it, and plate compactors or small rollers to compact lifts. For large-scale fills or commercial jobs, larger rollers and graders may be used, and Hello Gravel can coordinate deliveries to match contractor schedules.
Fill dirt with organic matter can shrink in hot, dry weather and wash out during heavy rains, causing settlement and erosion. Prevent problems by using well-compacted, low-organic fill; establish positive drainage with swales or grade changes; install erosion-control blankets or silt fence on slopes; and seed or hydroseed exposed areas as soon as practical to stabilize soil.
Fill dirt is generally less expensive per ton than crusher run or road base, but it lacks the structural strength and drainage properties needed for a driveway surface. A common, cost-effective approach in Nacogdoches is to use economical fill dirt to raise or shape the site, then place 4-6 inches of road base or crusher run on top for a durable driveway; final cost depends on local material and haul distances.
Small residential deliveries normally do not require special hauling permits, but large or consecutive heavy loads, major grading, or changes to driveways that affect public right-of-way may trigger city or county permits in Nacogdoches. Check with Nacogdoches City Development Services and Nacogdoches County for driveway cut, grading, stormwater, and septic-related permits, and confirm any HOA rules before ordering.
Confirm access for a tri-axle dump truck: clear overhead wires, allow turning room, and ensure the drop location is reachable without driving on fragile landscaping. Add delivery notes at checkout about preferred drop location and request tailgate spreading if desired—drivers may offer it at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
Use clean, low-organic fill compacted in proper lifts and address drainage so water does not pond on the new fill. For critical areas like under foundations or near utilities, follow engineer recommendations and consider professional compaction testing to confirm density and reduce future settlement risks.
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.
