Why Paducah Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Paducah's city population is 1,000, and it sits inside a growing West Texas metropolitan region with a metro area population of 2.5+ million and a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually. The local climate—233 sunny days per year, 34.60 inches of rainfall annually, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates both sunny, dry stretches and periods of heavy rain that shape landscaping and building needs. Homeowners here are increasingly tackling grading, drainage fixes, and yard recontouring as development expands. That demand makes quality aggregates essential: the right fill material helps prevent erosion after storms, supports stable grades, and reduces future maintenance around foundations, driveways, and low spots on the property.Popular Projects in Paducah This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Paducah Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Paducah.
Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise or level ground; it is mostly soil, small rock, and mineral fragments and is not sized or decorative like pea gravel or river rock. Pea gravel and river rock are washed, rounded aggregates used for drainage and landscaping appearance, while fill dirt is used for bulk grading, backfill, and creating engineered mass where appearance is not important.
No. Fill dirt lacks organic matter and nutrients needed for plants and does not behave like mulch. For planting beds in Paducah you should top the fill dirt with several inches of topsoil or compost before planting to ensure drainage and plant health.
Choose fill dirt when you need to raise low areas, backfill foundations, or build up grades where compaction and mass matter more than drainage. Use sand or gravel mixes when you need good drainage, a stable base for pavers, or a finished surface — local West Texas projects often combine fill dirt for bulk raise and gravel for surface or drainage layers.
Measure the area in square feet and the desired depth in inches, then use this rule: cubic yards = (square feet x depth inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons for ordering by assuming about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt in Paducah, with variation for moisture and caliche content; or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a precise estimate.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are typically made by local contracted dump trucks (often tri-axle). A tri-axle truck commonly carries roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards (about 12 to 16 tons of fill dirt depending on density), but exact truck capacities and availability vary by supplier in the Paducah area.
Fill dirt can be compacted to support light loads if properly placed and mechanically compacted in layers, but it will not harden like concrete. For driveways or areas with vehicular traffic in Paducah, plan on a compacted base plus a surface layer of gravel or pavement rather than relying on raw fill dirt alone.
West Texas fill dirt can contain clay and patches of caliche (calcium carbonate), which affects drainage and compaction. Clay holds water and can shrink or swell with moisture changes, while caliche can be hard and reduce drainage — mention any preferences or concerns in Order Notes so suppliers can advise or select a closer match.
You can place fill dirt on top of existing soil for grading, but for erosion control, separation, or to prevent mixing with loose topsoil it is common to use geotextile fabric or a gravel layer depending on the project. For lawn restoration in Paducah, cap the fill with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil rather than leaving raw fill dirt at the surface.
Rather than fill dirt itself preventing weeds, use a clean layer of topsoil or compost above the fill and remove any weed roots before filling. If persistent weeds are a concern, install a weed barrier fabric under the topsoil layer in flower beds, but avoid placing fabric under turf as it can affect drainage and root growth.
Do not use fill dirt where you need immediate drainage, a decorative finished surface, or fertile planting medium — for those uses choose gravel, sand, or topsoil respectively. Also avoid unconsolidated fill dirt under structures without proper compaction and engineering approvals, especially in areas with expansive clay or caliche common in West Texas.
Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request this service at checkout and note that it depends on site access and safety. Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading, so plan to have tools or a contractor ready if precise spreading or grading is required.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible — changes are easier to accommodate before the order is processed or dispatched. We will do our best to modify or cancel orders, but ability to change depends on supplier and truck scheduling in the Paducah area, so call promptly if plans change.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days; Hello Gravel offers next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee when local suppliers and trucks are available. Exact timing depends on supplier schedules and site access in Paducah, so choose your preferred date at checkout and watch for order confirmations.
Costs vary by supplier, haul distance, truck size, and material quality; a good approach is to calculate the cubic yards or tons you need, then request quotes through Hello Gravel so local suppliers can provide accurate pricing. Remember to factor in potential fees for next-day delivery, spreading, or difficult access when budgeting your Paducah project.
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.
