Why Premont Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Premont is a small West Texas city of 2,670 residents that is experiencing steady, incremental growth at 0.70% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of rainfall, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, local yards and building sites are shaped by alternating sun and seasonal moisture. Those conditions, and development pressures in the broader 2.7+ million metro area, create steady demand for reliable site work: grading for drainage, building raised planting beds, leveling pads for sheds and porches, and backfilling around foundations. Homeowners and DIYers in Premont look for consistent, compactible materials because the right fill prevents settling, protects driveways and slabs, and helps manage stormwater on properties influenced by regional soils and weather patterns. Fill Dirt is a practical match for many local projects because it is low in organic matter, free of large debris, and designed to compact well for stable fills. In Premont's mix of sun and seasonal rain, properly placed and compacted fill dirt helps establish grades that shed water away from structures and reduce long-term settlement. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and professional haulers that source regionally appropriate fill dirt, offers transparent pricing and scheduled delivery (standard: 2+ business days; next-day available before noon CST), and handles coordination so your material arrives when you need it.Popular Projects in Premont This Season

Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Premont.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Premont typically vary with supplier, haul distance, and seasonal demand.

For larger commercial needs, ask our team to match you with contractors familiar with Jim Wells County conditions and truck access requirements.
Soils around Premont in West Texas commonly include clayey and calcareous (caliche) layers with pockets of sandy or silty material, which influence drainage and compaction. These native conditions can cause uneven settlement and poor drainage unless you use properly selected and compacted fill dirt and consider geotechnical guidance for structural pads.
Hot, dry periods cause fill dirt to dry, shrink, and become harder to compact, while heavy seasonal rains can soften surfaces, increase settlement, and trigger erosion on slopes. For best results, place and compact fill in controlled lifts at near-optimal moisture, schedule work outside heavy rain windows, and use erosion controls (silt fence, straw) on exposed grades.
Fill dirt in Premont is commonly used for raising grades, trench backfill, filling low spots, preparing basement or garage pads, and utility backfill where organic material is unwanted. Avoid using fill dirt as a finished surface for driveways or pathways — use crusher-run, base rock, or gravel on top of compacted fill for wearing surfaces and drainage.
Small deliveries for yard grading usually do not need permits, but larger earthwork, fill over certain heights, or work affecting drainage may require city or county permits and inspections. Also check for posted bridge or road weight limits if a supplier must haul long distances; when in doubt, contact the City of Premont or Jim Wells County permitting office before ordering large volumes.
Target relative compaction of about 90% to 95% (standard Proctor) for structural pads and 85% to 90% for non-structural fills, with lift thickness of 4 to 6 inches for hand-operated plate compactors and up to 8 inches for heavier rollers. Use a plate compactor for small areas, a vibratory roller or sheep's foot roller for larger fills, and control moisture so the soil compacts effectively in West Texas conditions.
Calculate volume by multiplying area (ft^2) by depth (ft), divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then convert to tons using a factor of about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard (we use 1.3 as a practical estimate). Example: 1,000 ft^2 at 6 inches (0.5 ft) = 500 cu ft = 18.5 cu yd, which is roughly 24 tons (18.5 x 1.3). Use Hello Gravel’s online calculator or contact our team for help with your exact measurements.
Fill dirt is mostly fines and is used to raise grades and fill voids but it does not provide a stable wearing surface or good drainage. Crusher-run or base rock is preferred for driveways and structural building pads because it compacts to a firm, load-bearing layer and sheds water; sand is useful where drainage is required. For driveways in Premont’s climate, a compacted base rock over properly compacted fill dirt gives the best performance.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and most local deliveries are by tri-axle dump trucks that commonly carry about 12 to 15 tons (roughly 9 to 12 cubic yards depending on material). Expect potential rural delivery surcharges or fuel fees for long-haul deliveries into remote West Texas areas, and verify driveway/turnaround access so the driver can safely dump where you need the material.
Mark the intended dump location before delivery and clear obstacles so the truck can get close; request tailgate spreading at checkout but know the driver will decide if it is safe. For better long-term results, place fill in thin lifts, control moisture during compaction, and cover exposed fills ahead of storms to reduce erosion; contact Hello Gravel for guidance on material selection and scheduling.
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.
