Why Ovilla Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ovilla's city population is 4,288 and the area is part of a fast-growing metro with a metro area population of 2.7+ million, experiencing a growth rate of 2.33% annually. That steady growth and ongoing residential activity mean more homeowners are regrading yards, filling low spots, and preparing lots for landscaping or small additions. With 228 sunny days per year, a USDA hardiness zone of 8a, and an annual rainfall of 38.57 inches, projects in Ovilla must balance sun exposure with occasional heavy rains. Homeowners seek reliable, locally sourced aggregates to create proper drainage, prevent erosion, and establish stable bases for lawns, patios, and foundations—tasks where good fill material makes the difference between a long-lasting installation and recurring maintenance.Popular Projects in Ovilla This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ovilla Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ovilla.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Ovilla/West Texas area typically range depending on quantity, screening, and distance. Expect an approximate delivered range of $10 to $35 per ton, with lower per-ton pricing on larger truckloads; for an exact quote check your zip code through Hello Gravel.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, which is common for small repairs. Typical homeowner orders are 3 to 20 tons (about 2.5 to 15 cubic yards); contractors often order full truckloads (10 to 16 tons) for larger jobs.
For raising grade and structural backfill, compactable fill dirt with low organic matter is appropriate when properly placed and compacted. For driveway bases you should usually place fill dirt only to build grade, then install a structural base such as crusher run or crushed stone on top for drainage and durability.
Ovilla’s hot, sometimes dry conditions and local clay/caliche tendencies can cause shrink-swell and cracking if fill dirt isn’t compacted correctly. Proper moisture conditioning during placement and thorough compaction in lifts reduces future settling and movement in West Texas conditions.
Install fill dirt in 4 to 8 inch lifts and compact each lift with mechanical equipment to achieve high density; homeowners should aim for professional compaction or equipment rental. For small jobs you can rent a plate compactor or hire a contractor; expect a modest additional cost for compaction depending on area size and access.
Costs vary by scope, access, and contractor, but basic compaction and grading for a small yard or low spot often runs from a few hundred to around $1,000. Larger projects with machine work, hauling, and finish grading can run higher; get estimates from local contractors for specific pricing.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers that deliver screened or blended fill dirt to Ovilla. Delivery fees depend on distance, load size, and site access; many deliveries include low or no delivery fees on orders above certain quantities, while short runs or small orders may incur a fee typically ranging from $0 to around $150—get a quote at checkout for exact pricing.
Small imports for leveling or minor grading usually do not require a permit, but significant grading, large volume fills, or changes to drainage may trigger city or county permits in the Ovilla area. Check with the City of Ovilla building or planning department before major work and confirm any HOA rules to avoid fines or rework.
Fill dirt is mainly used to raise grade and fill low spots and is not suitable for planting because it lacks organic material. Crusher run or crushed stone is preferable as a driveway base because it compacts well and sheds water, while topsoil is used only where plants or lawns will be grown.
Use this quick rule: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, and 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 1 inch needs about 3.1 cu yd (roughly 3.7 to 4.7 tons); raising that same area by 6 inches needs about 18.5 cu yd (roughly 22 to 28 tons).
Some settling is normal in the first year after placement, especially after heavy rains; expect to monitor and regrade low spots once or twice during the first 12 months. Long term maintenance is minimal if the fill is properly compacted and covered with turf, gravel, or pavement, but isolated touch-ups may be needed after extreme weather.
Screened fill dirt is cleaner, with fewer rocks and debris, and compacts more uniformly—this makes it a better choice for yard fills and professional backfill in Ovilla. Regular unscreened fill is cheaper but may require more effort to place and compact and can leave larger rocks that interfere with landscaping or grading.
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.
