Why Roby Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Roby, a West Texas town with a city population of 1,010, sits in hardiness zone 7b with a growth rate of 1.40% annually. The local climate—about 246 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 24.60 inches—means homeowners face strong sun, occasional heavy showers, and soils that tend to be compact and low in organic matter. That combination drives steady demand for reliable aggregates: grading to manage runoff, raising low spots to prevent pooling, stable backfill for foundations and septic systems, and durable bases for driveways and patios. Homeowners in Roby seek quality materials that compact well, support drainage, and reduce future maintenance in this semi-arid setting.Popular Projects in Roby This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Roby Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Roby.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Roby typically vary by supplier, distance, and moisture but you can expect roughly $8 to $20 per ton (about $9.60 to $24 per cubic yard using a common conversion). Hello Gravel shows exact pricing after you enter your zip code; our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees depend on local suppliers and haul distance.
Hello Gravel connects you with local West Texas suppliers that serve Roby; specific suppliers vary by day and availability. Most local vendors work with a 3-ton minimum (our platform minimum) and many offer free delivery inside nearby areas, while longer hauls can have a delivery fee—check your exact quote at checkout or call our team for supplier details.
Roby’s hot, dry summers and occasional heavy storms mean fill dirt will shrink when very dry and can settle or erode after heavy rains. Proper moisture conditioning, compaction, and grading for drainage reduce shrinkage, settlement, and erosion risks; expect most initial settling to occur in the first year after installation.
For raising grade or yard leveling, use standard fill dirt with a mix of fines and small aggregates that compacts well; for driveway subgrade, prefer a compactable granular base like crusher run instead of plain fill dirt. For erosion control, use fill dirt behind rock or vegetation, but slope faces should be finished with topsoil and erosion-control measures rather than loose fill alone.
Use 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet. At 6 inches depth: a 1-car driveway (10' x 20') needs ~3.7 cubic yards (~4.5 tons using 1.2 tons/yd3); a 2-car driveway (20' x 20') needs ~7.4 cubic yards (~8.9 tons); 1,000 sq ft at 6" depth needs ~18.5 cubic yards (~22.2 tons). These are estimates; actual weight varies with moisture and compaction—use our material calculator for exact quotes.
Compact fill in thin lifts (4 to 6 inches loose) using a plate compactor for small areas or a roller for larger fills, and achieve even moisture before compaction. For structural fills or near foundations in Texas’s clayey soils, place controlled lifts, consider geotextile separation, and get a geotechnical recommendation if fill exceeds a couple of feet.
Fill dirt is usually the least expensive per ton but has poorer drainage and compaction characteristics, so it is best for raising grade and non-driving areas. For driveways, crusher run or compacted limestone base performs better—those materials lock together, shed water, and resist rutting—while clean fill and engineered base mixes perform better structurally but cost more.
Roby and Fisher County do not typically have blanket prohibitions on delivered fill, but you should check local building or drainage permits if the fill changes lot grading, blocks drainage, or is used near property lines. Truck access and on-site restrictions (narrow drives, overhead wires, weight limits on local roads) can affect delivery; tell Hello Gravel about access issues at checkout and check HOA guidelines before ordering.
A driveway surfaced only with fill dirt will require regular grading and topping; expect more frequent maintenance and a shorter functional life (a few years) compared with a properly built crushed-stone base. A yard graded with compacted fill dirt should stabilize mostly within the first year; plan to check for low spots and re-grade or add material after the first wet season.
Some local contractors use stabilizers (lime, cement, or polymer additives) or mix a granular binder with fill to improve strength and reduce dust; this is more common for driveways or near-structure fills. The added cost varies widely—expect an increase of roughly 10% to 50% over plain fill dirt depending on treatment and project size—ask your contractor for a written treatment and cost estimate.
Measure the area (length x width x depth) in feet, convert to cubic yards (divide cubic feet by 27), then use a conversion estimate of about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for pricing. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel’s online material calculator or contact our sales team at 855-241-8884 for help sizing the order and scheduling delivery.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
