Why Shelbyville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shelbyville is a growing West Texas community of 2,030 residents seeing steady development with a 2.50% annually growth rate. With 228/year of sunshine, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, the local climate combines long sunny stretches and occasional heavy rains that influence yard drainage and soil behavior. Nearby construction and renovation demand from a metro area of 2.3+ million means more residential grading, additions, and landscaping projects that need reliable materials. Homeowners in Shelbyville look for quality aggregates because proper site preparation—raising low spots, building level pads, and correcting grades—prevents future settling, reduces erosion, and creates a stable base for patios, sheds, and turf installations.Popular Projects in Shelbyville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shelbyville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Shelbyville.
Typical delivered prices to Shelbyville vary by supplier, distance, and access. Expect roughly $20–$60 per cubic yard, which works out to about $250–$700 for a typical tri-axle dump truck load (about 10–12 cubic yards) after delivery fees. Rural access, long haul, or special screening can raise the price. Get an exact quote by entering your Shelbyville zip code on our site or contacting our team.
In Shelbyville you’ll usually see fill dirt priced in the broad range of about $20–$60 per cubic yard, depending on supplier, screening, and trucking distance. Many suppliers and haulers offer lower per-yard pricing on larger orders, and Hello Gravel’s negotiated rates often improve with truckload or multi-truck orders. Our minimum order is 3 tons; for bulk pricing please request a quote with your delivery address so we can show tiered pricing.
For 1,000 sq ft, you need about 12.35 cubic yards at 4 inches and about 18.52 cubic yards at 6 inches (use area * depth(in) / 324). Delivery costs depend on local supplier and access; as a rough guide, plan on a single tri-axle delivery if under ~12 cubic yards or multiple truckloads for higher volumes, with delivered cost roughly matching the per-yard and per-truck ranges above. For an exact delivery estimate to your Shelbyville address, enter your zip in our checkout or request a quote.
Yes — Hello Gravel sources fill dirt locally in West Texas, so material reflects local geology and is often available from nearby suppliers. Because natural materials vary, we cannot universally guarantee zero roots or organic matter unless you specifically order a screened or certified 'clean fill' or 'engineered fill' product and confirm with the supplier. For structural or permitting needs in Shelbyville, ask for documentation or lab testing and consult your engineer or inspector before using the material.
Drivers may perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion; this can be requested at checkout but is not guaranteed. Hello Gravel doesn’t provide a guaranteed placement crew as part of standard delivery; for full onsite grading or spreading we recommend hiring a local dirt contractor or landscaper in Shelbyville. Labor rates vary by equipment and crew size—expect local machine operators and contractors to run roughly $50–$100 per hour for small jobs, with manual labor rates generally lower; get quotes from local contractors for firm pricing.
Our minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery lead time is 2 or more business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees are free in many areas but rural Shelbyville deliveries may carry mileage or access charges depending on supplier and road conditions; enter your zip code or contact our team to see any area-specific fees and available delivery windows.
Fill dirt is economical for raising grade, filling low spots, and building a stable subgrade, but it is not a good finished driving surface — it can rut and erode. For a durable Shelbyville driveway you’ll typically use fill dirt to bring grade up, then cap it with compactable base material such as crusher-run or G1 and a top layer of 3/4-inch crushed stone. For cost-effectiveness, plan on a combination: fill dirt for bulk elevation, then compacting base material for long-term performance.
Suppliers in our network can sometimes provide screened, engineered, or structural fill designed for compaction; availability varies by region and supplier. If your project in Shelbyville requires fill to meet engineering specs, request 'engineered fill' or ask for material testing/certification from the supplier and share your soil engineer’s requirements. We recommend coordinating with your engineer or inspector before ordering so the material and compaction plan match local building codes.
A practical conversion is that 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt weighs roughly 1.1–1.3 tons, so a good rule of thumb is about 1.2 tons per cubic yard. Actual weight depends on moisture, compaction, and particle makeup, so use this estimate for planning and request a ton-to-yard conversion from your supplier when getting a final quote for Shelbyville delivery.
You can get online quotes by entering your Shelbyville zip code or by contacting our team; quotes include material and delivery when possible. We accept major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through a secure checkout, and payment is typically collected at time of order or delivery depending on the supplier. There are no universal product warranties — suppliers are responsible for material quality; contact our customer service promptly if an issue arises and review our refund policy for next steps.
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.
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.

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!
