Why Ross Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ross has a city population of 259 and sits within a growing West Texas metro area of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, local homeowners are tackling grading, driveway, and foundation-adjacent projects that need reliable earthwork. Ross's semi-arid climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—produces soils that can vary between sandy and clay-rich layers and respond differently to wet and dry cycles. That variability makes sourcing consistent, clean fill dirt important: homeowners want material that compacts well, supports structures, and minimizes future settling. For DIYers and contractors alike, good fill dirt prevents low spots, creates stable subgrades for patios and sheds, and reduces erosion risks during heavy storms. Local, regionally sourced material also reflects the geology of West Texas and generally performs better for area-specific site work.Popular Projects in Ross This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ross Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ross.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and screening. In West Texas, delivered fill dirt commonly ranges from about $20 to $60 per cubic yard (roughly $15 to $45 per ton), with screened or compactable material usually at the higher end. For an exact price to Ross, TX, request a quote so we can account for your zip code, access, and requested delivery date.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 20x30 pad (600 sq ft) raised 4 inches needs about 7.4 cubic yards, which is roughly 9 to 11 tons depending on moisture and soil type. For a common 12 ft by 50 ft driveway (600 sq ft) at 6 inches, you would need about 11.1 cubic yards (about 13 to 17 tons).
Yes, you can use fill dirt under gravel if you use a compactable, well-graded fill and compact it in lifts (2 to 4 inches at a time). Compaction, proper lift thickness, and addressing drainage are critical—uncompacted or clay-heavy native fill can settle or hold water. For long-term performance in West Texas, ask for screened/structural fill and consider a compacted gravel base layer on top for the wearing surface.
Many local suppliers in our West Texas network offer screened or structural fill that is blended and sized for compaction. You can request "screened" or "compactable" fill at checkout or in order notes, and we will match you with suppliers who list that product. Availability and exact specs vary by supplier, so ask for product details if you need a high-strength base for a driveway.
Common truck sizes include pickup truck loads (1 to 3 cubic yards), standard dump trucks (6 to 10 cubic yards), and tri-axle dump trucks (10 to 15 cubic yards). Pricing for a single load depends on material type, supplier, and haul distance; rural deliveries to Ross may add hauling fees. Remember our platform has a minimum order of 3 tons, so small projects may still hit that minimum.
Yes — we deliver to Ross when suppliers serve your zip code; enter your address to check availability. Our platform requires a minimum order of 3 tons; standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and location; rural Ross addresses may incur extra hauling charges or site-access assessments.
Per cubic yard, fill dirt is generally less expensive than gravel, but cost alone doesn't tell the whole story. For a driveway, gravel provides drainage and a stable wearing surface, so you may need both: compactable fill to build grade and gravel for the top base. Consider the total project needs (compaction, drainage, thickness) when comparing costs.
Use gravel for drainage applications—gravel allows water to move through and is appropriate for French drains, dry wells, and base layers in drainage swales. Fill dirt is suited for raising grades or filling low spots but can hold moisture and impede drainage if used in a drain line. For Ross's West Texas climate, combine well-graded gravel with geotextile fabric where appropriate to keep soils from washing into the drain rock.
Suppliers in our network offer a range of fills: native fill (mixed soil), screened fill (fines removed), compactable/structural fill, sandy fill, and in some areas caliche-influenced material. For West Texas, screened or structural fill that compacts well is often best for building pads and driveway subgrades; sandy mixes work better for fast drainage. Since materials vary by local geology, request product specs or a sample if you need a specific grain size or compaction performance.
Calculate cubic yards with: (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324, then multiply by 1.05 to 1.10 to allow for compaction and settlement. As a quick reference, 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Convert to tons using a rule of thumb of about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and soil type, and ask for a supplier quote to confirm.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
