Why Port O'Connor Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Port O'Connor is a growing West Texas community with a city population of 250,000 and a metro area of 750,000 that is expanding at a 1.20% annual growth rate. With roughly 210 sunny days per year, 24.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 7b, homeowners here face a sun-forward, moderately dry climate that influences landscaping and building choices. That steady growth and favorable weather are driving demand for reliable site work materials—driveways, raised beds, foundation backfill, and grading projects all require consistent, compactable fill materials. Homeowners and small contractors alike look for fill dirt that compacts well, resists excessive erosion during storms, and matches the local soil profile to reduce future settling and maintenance.Popular Projects in Port O'Connor This Season

Consider blending a small clay fraction if your native soil is very sandy to reduce future settling.

Frequently Asked Questions - Port O'Connor Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Port O'Connor.
Prices vary by supplier, quantity, and delivery distance, but expect a rough range of $12 to $40 per ton or about $15 to $55 per cubic yard for loose fill dirt in the Port O'Connor area. Costs tend to be lower for large orders and higher when hauling from farther inland or when smaller trucks are needed; contact Hello Gravel for a zip-code specific quote and exact freight charges.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that service Port O'Connor and Calhoun County; availability may include vendors from Port O'Connor, nearby Port Lavaca, and regional yards in Corpus Christi or Victoria. Enter your zip code on our site or call our team to get a list of available suppliers, schedules, and confirmed pricing for your address.
Fill dirt itself is not affected by salt air, but coastal conditions in Port O'Connor mean sandy native soils, high water table, and flood exposure — all of which increase settlement and erosion risk if fill is not properly compacted and drained. Use clean, well-graded fill with adequate compaction, proper drainage, and erosion protection for coastal sites; for flood-prone or shoreline locations, consult local permits and an engineer before adding large volumes of fill.
For driveways, use a compactable structural fill (well-graded fill dirt or crushed stone base) topped with crushed rock or crusher-run for strength and drainage rather than loose topsoil alone. For yard grading, choose clean, low-organic fill dirt that matches local soils to minimize settlement, and consider blending with sand or small amounts of stable material to improve drainage in Port O'Connor’s sandy coastal sites.
Raising 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches requires about 12.3 cubic yards (1,000 x 4/12 ÷ 27). Using a typical conversion of roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt, that equals about 16 tons. We recommend ordering 10% to 20% extra to allow for compaction and waste, so plan on about 13.5–15 cubic yards or roughly 18–19 tons.
Permitting depends on the location and scope of the project; Port O'Connor properties near the shoreline or in regulated floodplains often require approvals from Calhoun County, the Texas General Land Office, or federal agencies for shoreline or wetland work. Before placing significant fill, check with Calhoun County permitting, local building authorities, and Hello Gravel can help point you to local contacts—but always confirm permit needs with the permitting agencies.
For shoreline and flood-prone lots, alternatives include engineered sand lifts, geotextile-stabilized fill, elevated foundations (pilings), and riprap or living shoreline treatments that reduce erosion. These options often require an engineer and permits but can be more resilient than standard fill dirt in Port O'Connor’s coastal environment.
Compaction costs depend on equipment and crew; DIY roller or plate compactor rentals run roughly $70–$150 per day, while contractor work with a roller or bobcat typically ranges from a few hundred to $800+ per day depending on crew and equipment. Budget for occasional maintenance after coastal storms and for regrading or additional material if settlement occurs, and get written estimates from local contractors in Calhoun County for exact pricing.
Hello Gravel commonly delivers fill dirt to Port O'Connor using tri-axle dump trucks (typical minimum order is 3 tons), though smaller trucks may be used for tight access. Port O'Connor has narrow, sandy, or low-bearing roads in places — drivers may require a stable staging area, and additional fees may apply for offloading on soft ground or using smaller trucks; request delivery details at checkout so suppliers can plan access and placement.
Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days from order confirmation, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee when suppliers and trucks are available. Lead times can lengthen during hurricane season, local events, or when sourcing material from farther away, so schedule early if you have a tight timeline.
Yes, prices in coastal Texas can fluctuate seasonally — demand rises before hurricane season, during spring landscaping months, and after storms, and wet weather or supply constraints can increase hauling costs. To lock in better rates and availability for Port O'Connor projects, get quotes early and consider scheduling delivery during non-peak times.
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.
