Why Onalaska Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Onalaska has a city population of 4,830 and sits within a rapidly growing West Texas metro area (metro area population: 2.5+ million). The town's growth rate: 2.21% annually and its semi-arid climate — hardiness zone: 8b — shape strong local demand for basic site work like regrading yards, building up foundations, and preparing driveways. With sunny days: 228/year and annual rainfall: 34.25 inches, homeowners often need dependable, low-organic material to raise grades, correct drainage issues, and create a stable base for landscaping or hardscapes. That combination of steady population growth and climate-driven water management makes quality fill dirt an economical, practical choice for both small DIY jobs and contractor-scale prep work. Fill dirt is clean subsoil used to build up low spots, establish finished grades, and support compacted bases. In Onalaska's sun-and-storm pattern (annual rainfall: 34.25 inches; sunny days: 228/year), using compactable, low-organic fill dirt reduces future settling and erosion compared with irregular native soils. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers, helping you choose the right fill dirt grade and schedule dump-truck delivery so material arrives in the right amount and on a convenient day—saving time and avoiding multiple supplier calls.Popular Projects in Onalaska This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Onalaska Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Onalaska.
Fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than decorative gravel because it is lower-grade material intended to raise grades and fill voids. In Onalaska and West Texas, expect fill dirt to cost noticeably less than washed or decorative gravels, though final price depends on hauling distance and supplier. If you need a finished driving surface, plan to add a gravel or base layer on top of compacted fill dirt, which increases total cost.
Fill dirt is natural subsoil mostly made of clay, silt, and sand and is sold to raise grades, fill holes, and support landscaping. Gravel is made of crushed rock or rounded stones used for drainage and finished surfaces. Use fill dirt to build up the ground; use gravel when you need drainage, load-bearing ability, or a finished look.
In the Onalaska area, a standard tri-axle dump truck (about 10-12 cubic yards) of fill dirt typically ranges from roughly $120 to $420, depending on supplier, load size, and distance. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of about 3 tons and posts clear delivery pricing at checkout, with standard delivery in 2+ business days. For an exact quote, check your zip code and request a delivery estimate through our site.
To cover 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches deep you need about 9.3 cubic yards; at 6 inches deep you need about 18.5 cubic yards. In West Texas prices, expect per-cubic-yard delivered fill dirt to range roughly from $12 to $35, so covering 1,000 sq ft will typically cost between about $110 and $650 for the material only, depending on depth and local delivery fees. Always add compaction or contractor labor costs if you want a finished product.
A 20 ft driveway, for example 20 ft long by 10 ft wide at 6 inches depth, requires about 3.7 cubic yards of fill dirt. Material cost in the Onalaska area will commonly fall in the low hundreds for that volume, but compaction is a separate service; hiring equipment/operator to compact properly will add several hundred dollars depending on access and lift thickness. Hello Gravel delivers the material; request contractor referrals if you need compaction and grading.
You can use fill dirt to raise or level the base under a driveway, but it must be placed in loose lifts (usually 6-8 inches or less) and compacted each lift to avoid future settling. In Onalaska’s soils, moisture control and proper compaction are important because local clay content can shrink or swell; consider geotextile fabric and a compacted gravel base on top of compacted fill for a stable driveway. Hello Gravel drivers can deliver and may tailgate spread at their discretion, but compaction is usually done by a contractor with proper equipment.
Fill dirt is appropriate for filling low spots and building up grades away from foundations, but it is not the best material for improving drainage next to foundations. For drainage trenches or around footings you should use free-draining materials such as crushed stone or gravel; these materials allow water to flow away from the foundation, while fill dirt can hold moisture against the structure. Consult a contractor for grading and drainage plans if you have standing water near your foundation.
For general yard grading in Onalaska, choose clean fill dirt or fill dirt with minimal organic matter so it compacts well and won’t settle excessively. If you plan to plant turf or garden over the filled area, top with several inches of topsoil rather than using topsoil-grade fill for structural fills. Regional sourcing means texture and color may vary, so add material preferences in order notes if appearance matters.
Typical fill dirt is not a substitute for engineered or select structural fill required under foundations and slabs because it may contain variable fines and organic material. For structural work you will usually need engineered fill or crushed stone and a geotechnical report to specify compaction requirements. Contact a geotechnical engineer or your contractor before ordering fill dirt for load-bearing applications.
Hello Gravel serves nationwide through local suppliers; availability to rural Onalaska addresses depends on local suppliers and haulers. Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days, with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST for an added fee. Minimum orders start at about 3 tons, and you can check zip code availability and schedule preferred delivery dates at checkout.
Measure the area length and width and decide desired depth in inches, then use: cubic yards = (length ft x width ft x depth in) / 324. For weight, fill dirt in West Texas generally ranges from about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, so multiply cubic yards by that factor to get tons. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for help to ensure you order enough and account for compaction or settlement.
Fill dirt does not harden like concrete; if you need a hardened base consider crushed stone/road base, cement-treated base, or resin-stabilized gravel, which are engineered for strength. Those stabilized options require specialized materials and compaction (and sometimes chemical binders), making them more expensive than plain fill dirt; installation costs vary widely based on scope and access. For pricing and installation, request a quote through Hello Gravel and ask for contractor referrals to handle stabilization and compaction.
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.
