Why Poteet Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Poteet has a city population of 11,340 and sits within a steadily growing West Texas region, expanding at about 0.70% annually. With 225 sunny days each year, a moderate annual rainfall of 34.70 inches, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners work in a climate of strong sun and intermittent heavy rains that influence yard drainage and soil stability. That mix drives consistent demand for grading, leveling, and soil-moving projects—from building up low spots and shed pads to preparing level bases for patios and driveways. For these projects, homeowners need reliable subsoil that compacts predictably and reduces future settling, which is why many choose quality Fill Dirt that’s sourced and tested for local performance. Fill Dirt is a dense, low-organic subsoil used to raise grades, backfill foundations, and create stable bases for landscape and hardscape work. In Poteet’s environment—with 34.70 inches of rain and long sunny periods—properly compacted Fill Dirt helps improve drainage away from structures and prevents erosion after storms. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who provide regionally appropriate Fill Dirt and coordinates dump-truck delivery on your schedule. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST. Orders typically meet a 3-ton minimum, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion.Popular Projects in Poteet This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Poteet Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Poteet.
Fill dirt is a low-organic material made mostly of mineral particles used to raise or level ground. Unlike topsoil, it has little to no nutrients or organic matter so it is not good for planting; it is best for bulk grading, building pads, and underlayment in Poteet’s yards and rural lots.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and order size, but expect roughly $12 to $40 per ton delivered in the West Texas region. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may offer free delivery in some areas; contact us or check your zip code for a local quote.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers that serve Poteet and nearby southern Bexar County, as well as yards in the San Antonio region. If you prefer walking into a yard, check landscape supply yards in Devine, Pleasanton, and San Antonio, or use Hello Gravel to get a delivered quote and delivery window.
High heat dries soils quickly which can make loose fill dusty and harder to compact; periodic heavy rains can cause rapid settlement and washouts if fill is not compacted and graded. For best results in Poteet, place and compact lift-by-lift with the right moisture content and protect newly placed areas from heavy storms until they stabilize.
Depth depends on use: for simple yard leveling 3–6 inches is common, while building a subgrade may require 6–12 inches of bulk fill plus a granular base. To estimate, calculate cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by roughly 1.2–1.6 tons per cubic yard (use 1.4 t/yd3 for planning). For example, a 600 sq ft area at 6 inches is about 11.1 cubic yards or ~15.5 tons at 1.4 t/yd3.
Fill dirt alone is not a structural driveway material because it contains fines and can settle; use it to raise grades or fill low spots, but finish driveways with crusher run or road base for strength and drainage. For Poteet properties, place fill dirt for elevation then add a 4–6 inch compacted layer of road base or crusher run before the surface gravel or pavement.
Fill dirt used for grading will settle over time and may need occasional topping up and regrading, especially after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles. If used under a proper structural base, it can be long-lasting; otherwise expect periodic maintenance such as adding material, re-compacting low spots, and controlling erosion.
Small residential deliveries and minor grading often do not require permits, but large fills, changes to drainage, or substantial grading may trigger city or county permits. Contact the City of Poteet and Bexar County permitting offices before major fill work to confirm local rules and avoid potential fines or rework.
Place fill in thin lifts (4–8 inches), compact each lift with appropriate equipment (plate compactor for small areas, roller for large areas), and aim for a moisture content that allows good compaction—slightly damp rather than bone dry. Where you encounter very soft or expansive clay, remove poor material or use a geotextile and granular base to improve stability.
Install during relatively dry, mild periods—late spring or early fall in Poteet are often best—so you can control moisture for proper compaction and avoid major storms. Avoid placing large fills just before the rainy season or during extreme heat when soils will either be too wet or too dry to compact correctly.
Ask for fill dirt with low organic content, minimal clay lumps, and a mix of fines and sand that compacts well; suppliers often describe it as “clean fill” or “engineer-grade fill.” For structural work, contractors commonly require no more than a few percent organics, limited oversized rock, and compaction acceptance criteria—verify any specific gradation or compaction requirements with your engineer or local supplier.
Hello Gravel typically delivers by tri-axle dump truck with a 3-ton minimum; trucks operate on local roads and need safe site access for dumping. You can request a delivery date at checkout, note preferred drop location, and ask about tailgate spreading (drivers may do this at their discretion), and always clear the access path and overhead obstacles before delivery.
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.
