Why Riviera Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Riviera is a small but growing West Texas community of 1,470 residents located inside a larger metro area of 2.5+ million. With a steady annual growth rate of 0.70% annually, Riviera’s semi-arid setting—225 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—drives ongoing demand for practical site work and landscape updates. Homeowners and local contractors need reliable materials for grading low spots, building up pads, improving drainage, and repairing erosion after seasonal storms. Because many projects prioritize stability over appearance, Riviera residents often look for cost-effective, locally sourced fill dirt that compacts well, reduces future settling, and provides a strong base for irrigation, hardscapes, and foundation backfill. Transparent pricing and dependable delivery are especially important as the area sees steady development and renovation activity.Popular Projects in Riviera This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Riviera Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Riviera.
Prices vary by supplier and distance, but in West Texas delivered screened fill dirt typically ranges modestly per ton; your final price depends on quantity, availability, and delivery distance from the supplier. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show upfront pricing when you enter your Riviera zip code; request a quote to see exact delivered cost and any next-day or fuel surcharges.
For Riviera’s sandy-clay soils, choose clean, screened fill dirt with low organic content and some clay or fines to help compact and bind layers. Engineered or compactible fill is best for structural work; for simple grade raising use screened fill dirt but avoid topsoil or high-organic mixes that compress and settle over time.
Fill dirt will perform adequately if properly compacted and covered with an appropriate surface layer, but West Texas heat and drought can cause clay-rich fills to shrink and settle. Occasional freeze-thaw is less severe in Riviera than in colder regions, yet good compaction, moisture control during placement, and a drainage plan will minimize long-term movement.
Raising 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches equals about 500 cubic feet, or roughly 18.5 cubic yards. At roughly 1.2 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt, expect about 22 to 25 tons; order 5-10% extra to cover compaction and grading loss, so plan on about 24 to 28 tons to be safe.
Fill dirt is fine for bulk raising but is not ideal as a finished patio base because it can retain moisture and settle. Crusher run or compacted crushed stone is a better choice for patio bases and pavers in Riviera’s climate because it provides better drainage and a stable, load-bearing surface.
Yes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck fleets that commonly deliver screened fill dirt by the truckload to Riviera. Enter your zip code on our site to see available suppliers, typical truck sizes, and delivery windows for your area.
A compacted fill dirt driveway topped with a few inches of gravel can perform well for several years under light use, but longevity depends on compaction quality, drainage, and maintenance. Regular grading, adding gravel, and managing water flow will significantly extend service life compared with an unmaintained surface.
Fill dirt can be used as non-structural subgrade, but an RV pad or outbuilding usually needs a stable, well-draining granular base (like compacted crusher run) and proper compaction to prevent settlement. For structures or heavy loads, follow local code and consider a thicker engineered base or consult a structural engineer for site-specific recommendations.
Permit requirements vary by project type and local jurisdiction in Kenedy County and the city limits of Riviera, so you should check with the Riviera or county building department before starting work. Fill dirt is commonly used for grading and backfill, but structural or setback conditions may require engineered fill or inspections.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and self-pickup can reduce or eliminate delivery fees if you have the vehicle and equipment to load bulk material. Delivery fees vary by distance and truck type and may be waived in some areas; request an online quote to compare delivered price versus pickup for your Riviera address.
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.
