Why Richardson Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Richardson, Texas, with a city population of 100,080 and located inside a Dallas-Fort Worth metro area of 2.7+ million people, is a growing suburban community experiencing steady development (0.40% annual growth). The area’s climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round outdoor work but also creates demands for reliable grading and drainage solutions. As homes are renovated and yards regraded, homeowners need predictable materials that compact well, resist settling, and help manage runoff. That demand is driven by new construction, remodels, and landscaping projects that require stable base layers and economical fill to raise low spots, backfill foundations, and prepare sites for lawns, patios, or driveways. Fill dirt is a practical choice for many Richardson projects because it provides economical, structural mass without the decorative properties of topsoil. Given the region’s rainfall and sunny conditions, properly placed and compacted fill dirt helps maintain finished grades, supports surface materials, and reduces erosion when combined with good drainage planning. Hello Gravel connects Richardson homeowners with local suppliers and hauling partners who understand regional sourcing and timing, providing clear pricing, scheduled delivery (standard 2+ business days, next-day available before noon CST for an extra fee), and options like tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion to make site prep straightforward and efficient.Popular Projects in Richardson This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Richardson Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Richardson.
Delivered prices vary by supplier, distance, and truck size, but in Richardson you can typically expect delivered fill dirt to run in the range of about $12 to $25 per cubic yard. A common tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards loose, so a single truckload often costs in the low hundreds to a few hundred dollars; request a quote for exact pricing to your zip code.
In Richardson, delivered fill dirt commonly falls between about $12 and $25 per cubic yard depending on supplier and delivery distance. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so it covers about 324 square feet at 1 inch depth (or use the formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324).
To calculate: cubic yards = (area in square feet * depth in inches) / 324. For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft lawn by 3 inches needs about (1000 * 3) / 324 ≈ 9.3 cubic yards. Hello Gravel can deliver the material to your Richardson address, and you may request tailgate spreading at checkout, but spreading is performed at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed; compaction is not included.
Fill dirt is loose earth material and does not harden like stabilized gravel or soil-cement; Hello Gravel typically supplies loose fill dirt. Stabilized or compacted bases are a construction service supplied by contractors or specialty suppliers; costs depend on materials, compaction specs, and labor, so get local contractor estimates for installation and compaction requirements in Richardson.
For drainage work in Richardson’s clay-prone area, use a coarser, free-draining fill (sandy or sandy-silty) placed with proper slope. For driveway subgrade build-up, use structural or engineered fill plus a rock base rather than loose fill dirt alone. For landscaping and raising grade, use clean fill with low organic content, and finish with topsoil for planting. Because DFW soils can be expansive, plan for compaction and proper material selection on sloped or load-bearing areas.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; standard delivery lead time is typically 2 or more business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees depend on supplier distance, driveway access, and local routing; enter your Richardson zip code at checkout or request a quote to see exact fees and available dates.
Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery but does not directly provide grading or compaction work. Many customers hire local landscaping or excavation contractors in Richardson for grading, compaction, and installation; costs vary with scope, equipment, and site access, so we recommend getting at least two local quotes. We can help point you to local suppliers or contractors on request.
Suppliers commonly offer lower per-yard pricing for larger orders or multiple truckloads, with noticeable discounts often starting around 20 to 30 cubic yards or per full-truck multiples. Hello Gravel negotiates rates with local suppliers, so ask for a volume quote when you request pricing for your Richardson project to see specific thresholds and savings.
Yes — October is a good month for landscaping in Richardson and many suppliers have good material availability in fall. That said, schedule early: standard lead times apply and heavy rain or high demand can affect timing. If you need next-day delivery, order before noon CST and expect an additional fee.
Yes. Use Hello Gravel’s online material calculator to estimate cubic yards and our aggregate quiz to pick the right material for Richardson projects. For a firm delivered price or an on-site estimate, contact our sales team at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 and we can arrange a quote or connect you with a local supplier for an on-site assessment.
Ask whether the fill dirt is 'clean fill' with low organic content, the source of the material, and whether it contains clay, sand, or rock. For projects near structures or driveways, ask for compaction recommendations, required compaction specs, and whether the supplier can provide certificates of compliance or lab tests if needed. Because Richardson soils vary, specifying project use (landscape, structural fill, drainage) helps suppliers match the right material.
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.
