Why Palmview Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Palmview is part of a rapidly expanding region with a city population of 723.0+ million and a metro area population of 2.4+ million, and that growth—about 2.50% annually—is translating into increased residential building, yard renovations, and infrastructure work. With hardiness zone 8b, roughly 230/year sunny days, and average annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, the climate supports year-round outdoor projects but also creates local concerns around drainage, grade control, and soil stability. Homeowners and small contractors in Palmview look for dependable, locally sourced materials to raise low spots, backfill foundations, prepare building pads, and prevent erosion, so clear information about material type, quantity, and delivery logistics is essential.Popular Projects in Palmview This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Palmview Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Palmview.
Fill dirt is primarily subsoil used to raise or level ground; it usually contains little organic material and more clay, silt, and sand. In Palmview and Hidalgo County it is commonly used to build pads, raise grades above flood-prone areas, or fill holes before landscaping. It is not typically a planting topsoil or a finished driveway surface.
Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and job access, so exact rates change frequently; request a quote through Hello Gravel to see local per-ton or per-yard pricing. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Fill dirt densities vary, but a common rule is 1 cubic yard equals about 1.2 to 1.4 tons (loose to moderately compacted). For 1,000 sq ft raised 6 inches (0.5 ft) the volume is 500 cu ft or about 18.5 cubic yards, which translates to roughly 22 to 26 tons. Add a 5-10% buffer for settling and compaction when ordering.
Fill dirt can be appropriate to raise grades and improve positive drainage, but in Palmview you must consider local flat topography and periodic heavy rains. Use clean, non-organic fill for areas that need structural stability or flood elevation, and avoid soft, uncompacted or organic-rich soils in low-lying or floodplain sites. For properties in FEMA flood zones or near drainage easements check with city and county planning before importing large volumes.
Compaction is important: typical field practice is to place fill in lifts of about 4 to 8 inches loose, then compact each lift until it reaches the specified density. Small projects can use a vibratory plate compactor or jumping jack, while larger jobs benefit from a tandem or sheepsfoot roller available from local rental shops. Conditioning the moisture content before compaction improves results and reduces future settlement.
Possibly. Large grading, changes in drainage, or filling in excess of local thresholds often require permits from the City of Palmview or Hidalgo County, and work in floodplains or near waterways may trigger additional reviews. Many HOAs also require approval for visible grade changes or truck activity, so check local permitting offices and your HOA covenants before ordering.
Fill dirt is fine for raising the grade under a driveway but is not a good finished driving surface because it compacts poorly and holds water. For Palmview driveways use compacted road base or crushed stone as the structural layer, with a top surface of crushed stone, paving, or asphalt for durability and drainage. Road base and crushed stone provide better load-bearing capacity and last longer in seasonal heavy rains.
Stabilized, well-compacted fill will perform for many years but can still settle, erode, or rut after heavy rains common in South Texas. Expect occasional top-ups, regrading, and erosion control measures such as swales, vegetation, or edging. Proper initial compaction and good drainage are the best ways to minimize maintenance over time.
Fill dirt should be used as structural backfill or to build grade; it is low in organic matter so mix it with topsoil or compost for planting beds to support plant growth. Behind retaining walls use free-draining material (gravel or crushed rock) and drainage pipes rather than clay-heavy fill directly against the wall. For flower beds add 2 to 4 inches of quality topsoil or amended soil on top of fill dirt before planting.
Deliveries are usually by tri-axle dump truck, so expect 2+ business days for standard delivery and possible extra fees for tight access, soft yards, or long offload distances. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion but not guaranteed. Prices can rise seasonally during busy construction periods or after major storms, so schedule early for best availability.
Ask whether the material contains organics, trash, construction debris, or large rocks and whether it is screened or tested for contaminants. Request the source (local pit or recycled material), whether the supplier can provide compaction guidance or testing, and any recommended moisture conditioning. For structural or large-volume projects consider asking for a material sample or lab test.
Hello Gravel connects you to local Hidalgo County suppliers and hauling partners, provides upfront pricing and delivery scheduling, and offers calculators to estimate quantities. You can check zip code availability, request next-day delivery when eligible, and add order notes about access, spreading requests, or material preferences to help ensure the delivery fits your Palmview job site.

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.
