Why Shavano Park Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shavano Park is a small West Texas community with a city population of 3,772 and a metropolitan footprint of 2.5+ million. The area is growing steadily at 0.37% annually and features a sun-forward climate—about 228 sunny days per year with 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and USDA hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions keep landscaping and light construction projects active: homeowners regularly regrade yards, build retaining walls, install drainage, and prep sites for patios and driveways. For these jobs, quality fill materials matter because they determine compaction, drainage performance, and how much future settling you’ll see. Homeowners value consistent, locally sourced fill dirt that matches West Texas soil characteristics and performs reliably under seasonal rain and long sunny stretches.Popular Projects in Shavano Park This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shavano Park Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Shavano Park.
Delivery cost varies by supplier, distance, and access. Hello Gravel connects you with local haulers and many orders qualify for free delivery, but when a fee applies expect a local-range charge of roughly $50 to $200 for standard drop-offs; remote or difficult access can cost more. For an exact price, enter your Shavano Park zip code on our site or request a quote.
Hello Gravel sources fill dirt from local suppliers around Shavano Park and lets you compare quotes from multiple haulers. Pricing depends on material quality (clean vs mixed with organics), volume, and delivery logistics; typical regional ranges are about $10 to $25 per ton, with lower unit costs for larger orders. Use our calculator and zip code lookup to get accurate local quotes.
Use this quick local estimate assuming 1.3 tons per cubic yard (typical for fill dirt): 1 inch = about 0.4 tons per 100 sq ft; 3 inches = about 1.2 tons; 6 inches = about 2.4 tons; 12 inches = about 4.8 tons. These are estimates; for final ordering, measure area and depth precisely and allow 5-10% extra for settling and compaction.
Fill dirt alone is not a good wearing surface for driveways. In Shavano Park's clay/limestone conditions, use fill dirt only as a grade-raising or subgrade material, then install a compacted aggregate base (crushed limestone or gravel) and a surface course for durability and drainage. Proper compaction and a well-draining base are essential to avoid rutting and long-term settling.
Fill dirt can be used for non-structural backfill and to bring grades up, but contractors usually specify clean, well-graded fill or select fill near foundations. In clay and limestone areas around Shavano Park, ensure the fill has low organic content, is placed in controlled lifts with compaction, and follows any engineer recommendations to limit differential settlement and drainage issues.
West Texas can produce intense rain events that increase runoff and erosion risk on newly placed fill. To protect slopes and grades in Shavano Park, compact fill in lifts, use erosion control (straw, wattles, or erosion fabric), install proper swales or drains, and seed or landscape quickly to stabilize surfaces. Failing to control runoff can lead to rapid erosion and loss of material.
Local contractors typically place fill dirt in 4 to 8 inch lifts, moisten and compact each lift to reach target density (often 90-95% of standard Proctor) using plate compactors for small areas or rollers for larger sites. They also remove organics, verify moisture content, and test compaction as needed for structural work. Ask your contractor or engineer for project-specific compaction specs.
A properly constructed driveway with compacted fill dirt subgrade and a good aggregate base can last many years with routine maintenance. Minor repairs like regrading and adding 1 to 2 tons of surface gravel typically run a few hundred dollars, while larger rework or rebase jobs can cost several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on size and access in Shavano Park. Regular grading and drainage maintenance extends lifespan and reduces major repair needs.
Rules vary by lot and HOA. Check with the City of Shavano Park planning department and your HOA covenants before bringing in large amounts of fill dirt because grading, drainage changes, and visible alterations often require permits or approval. If in doubt, contact Hello Gravel or the city for guidance before ordering.
Fill dirt is primarily for raising grade and filling voids; it compacts well but is not a finished surface. Crushed limestone and decomposed granite (DG) are better for driveways, paths, and finished surfaces in the Shavano Park area because they provide drainage and a stable wearing surface. For most projects you will use fill dirt as subgrade material and then a crushed stone or DG top layer for performance and aesthetics.
Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck, so ensure driveways and access points can handle the truck size and weight and have at least 10 to 12 feet of width and 12 to 14 feet of vertical clearance. Long or steep driveways, narrow gates, low power lines, or soft turf may require offloading at the road and additional labor to move material. Note Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum order and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider it; spreading is at the driver's discretion.
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.
