A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose (larger end-dumps may carry more). One cubic yard covers about 108 sq ft at 3 inches, 54 sq ft at 6 inches, and 27 sq ft at 12 inches, so a 10-yd3 truck covers roughly 1,080 sq ft at 3", 540 sq ft at 6", or 270 sq ft at 12". Tons vary with soil density, but 1 cubic yard of fill-dirt is roughly 1.1 to 1.4 tons depending on moisture and soil type, so a full tri-axle is often about 11 to 17 tons.

Fill-dirt is not a substitute for gravel as a driveway surface or structural base: it compacts and can rut or wash out under vehicle traffic. Costs for fill-dirt are usually lower than crushed rock, but you'll likely need to add a rock base or stabilize the surface for a durable driveway; plan on higher long-term maintenance if you skip proper base materials.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely, but this is not guaranteed. Professional spreading and compaction can be arranged through local contractors or sometimes the supplier for an extra fee; expect contractor or crew rates commonly in the $60 to $150 per hour range or roughly $2 to $6 per cubic yard depending on access, job size, and whether machinery is required.

Yes. Regulations and HOA rules vary by county and neighborhood in Oak Grove, so check your county building or planning office and your HOA before bringing in large volumes or changing grades. Also call 811 to locate utilities if you will be grading or digging, and consult Hello Gravel if you need help contacting local authorities.

'Poor man's concrete' generally means compacted fill or soil mixed with a small amount of rock or binder to make a cheaper surface. It can be inexpensive short-term, but it is not a structural substitute for concrete or properly designed engineered bases and will usually perform worse under vehicle loads or freeze-thaw cycles; for lasting driveways and building pads, properly prepared aggregate or concrete is the safer choice.

Many suppliers in our network can provide screened or clean (engineered) fill-dirt suitable for building pads; this material is sorted to reduce roots and organics. Screened fill typically costs more—often 10% to 30% higher than standard loose fill—because of extra processing and handling; ask for 'screened' or 'clean fill' in your order notes to see accurate pricing.

Standard delivery windows are 2+ business days, and next-day delivery can be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Seasonal factors matter in Texas: landscaping season and dry construction months can increase demand and prices, while heavy rain periods can delay deliveries or affect site access and compaction, so plan ahead for large jobs.

Expect some settlement and compaction; a typical allowance is to order 5% to 20% more material depending on soil type and how it is placed and compacted. For uncontrolled loose fills, err toward the higher allowance and consider placing and compacting in lifts to reduce long-term settlement.

Clear a stable drop zone and turn-around path so the dump truck can safely access the delivery spot; park vehicles and mark property lines and desired drop location. Also call 811 to mark utilities, trim low-hanging branches if needed, and note that drivers will assess safety on arrival and may refuse or limit service if access is unsafe.
