Why Overton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Overton is a small but growing West Texas community of 5,500 people located within a metro region of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.80% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain each year (hardiness zone 8b), homeowners here are frequently updating yards, building pads, and repairing grading to manage runoff and foundation stability. That steady, modest expansion drives demand for dependable bulk materials — from base rock for driveways to clean fill for raising low spots — and homeowners want materials that compact well, resist settling, and support proper drainage under intense sun and intermittent heavy rain. Quality fill materials reduce rework, help protect new landscaping and foundations, and make projects easier to complete on schedule and on budget.Popular Projects in Overton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Overton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Overton.
Delivered fill dirt in the Overton/West Texas area commonly ranges from about $8 to $20 per ton (roughly $10 to $28 per cubic yard), depending on source, moisture, and distance. Prices vary with supplier, hauling distance, and seasonal demand; Hello Gravel shows local pricing and delivery fees for your zip code during checkout. Minimum orders are usually 3 tons and tri-axle trucks are a common delivery vehicle.
Screened or blended fill dirt availability varies by local supplier; some West Texas yards offer screened, others sell raw fill with occasional blending. Typical truckloads use tri-axle dump trucks carrying about 10 to 16 tons, though smaller straight trucks can be used if required; Hello Gravel can check nearby suppliers and their minimums for your address. Expect a 3-ton minimum order on our platform, with full truckloads priced per supplier.
1,000 square feet raised 6 inches equals about 18.5 cubic yards of material. Fill dirt delivered loose commonly weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so you would need roughly 22 to 26 tons before compaction. Contractors typically add 10-20% to allow for compaction and settling, so ordering about 25 to 32 tons is a practical rule of thumb.
Fill dirt can be used for general grading and landscaping on clay-dominant West Texas soils, but it performs poorly as a finished driveway or slab base because clay and unconsolidated fill can settle or shrink-swell. For driveways and structural slab support, contractors usually undercut soft clay, bring in engineered structural fill or road base, and compact in lifts. If you plan structural work, get a site-specific recommendation from an engineer and follow compaction specs.
Mechanical compaction with plate compactors for narrow areas and vibratory rollers for larger areas is recommended, compacting in 6 to 8 inch loose lifts. For structural slabs and garage areas, aim for about 95% of standard Proctor (engineer may specify), while non-structural driveway fills often target 90-95%. Always follow engineer or local building department specs and consider compaction testing for critical work.
In West Texas a compacted fill dirt driveway can function for a few seasons with regular maintenance but will generate dust, rutting, and require periodic regrading and topping. In wetter East Texas climates the same bare fill will suffer faster erosion and washouts, shortening usable life unless capped with rock. For longer life in either climate, a properly compacted rock base (crushed limestone or crusher run) is recommended instead of relying on fill dirt alone.
Fill dirt is generally not suitable for septic drain fields because drain fields require permeable, tested soils and county health permits; using fill dirt can lead to permit denial or system failure. Foundation backfill may be acceptable only if the material is free of organics, properly graded, moisture-conditioned, compacted to engineer-specified densities, and approved by local building officials. Always check Rusk County permitting and the local health department and follow an engineer's guidance for any septic or structural work.
Common alternatives are crushed limestone, road base, and crusher run, which offer better drainage, compaction, and long-term performance for driveways. These materials cost more per ton than raw fill dirt but reduce ongoing maintenance and lengthen service life, making them more cost-effective for driveways. Fill dirt is cheapest for bulk grading but usually needs a rock cap for driveways and heavy use areas.
Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Seasonal demand in spring and summer can extend lead times and push prices up, and heavy rains can limit hauling and raise costs. Hello Gravel will show available delivery windows and pricing for your delivery zip code during checkout.
Narrow driveways, low trees, gates, or weight-restricted roads can require smaller trucks or multiple smaller loads, which may increase delivery fees and limit per-load tonnage. Our typical trucks are tri-axle; if property access is tight we can arrange smaller straight trucks or hand-staging at the driver's discretion and may charge accordingly. To get accurate pricing, add access notes and photos at checkout or contact our team before ordering.
Grade and compact the area after delivery to reduce settling, and avoid leaving loose piles exposed to heavy rain. If you must store material temporarily, cover it with a tarp and keep it away from steep slopes or drainage paths to limit erosion. For long-term use under structures, follow engineer guidance on moisture conditioning and compaction testing.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
