Why Shiro Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shiro, a small West Texas community of 384 residents within a growing metro of 2.7+ million, combines arid heat with steady development that drives local construction and landscaping needs. With 228 sunny days per year, 35.94 inches of annual rainfall, a hardiness zone of 8b, and a modest growth rate of 0.70% annually, homeowners face both strong sun and periodic heavy rains that influence soil behavior, drainage, and erosion. That mix of climate and steady development increases demand for reliable base materials for driveways, foundation backfill, raised garden beds, and lot grading. Homeowners choose quality aggregates to minimize future settling, ensure predictable compaction, and reduce the need for repeat repairs. Fill dirt—dense, low-organic subsoil used to raise grades and fill depressions—fits Shiro’s conditions by providing a compactable base that helps control runoff under 35.94 inches of annual rainfall and withstands drying from 228 sunny days per year. Properly placed and compacted, fill dirt creates stable subgrades for patios, utility trench backfill, and landscape terraces. Hello Gravel connects you with locally sourced suppliers and professional haulers so you can order the right quantity, pick a delivery date, and request tailgate spreading at checkout; drivers may perform spreading at their discretion and will assess safety on arrival, with no guaranteed spreading service.Popular Projects in Shiro This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shiro Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Shiro.
Fill dirt is soil stripped of most organic topsoil and used to raise grade or fill low spots. In Shiro you would use it to build up yard grade, fill depressions, or bring a building pad or driveway to the desired elevation before placing engineered base or gravel. It is not a finished driving surface; you should compact it and usually cover it with road base or gravel for driveways and high-traffic areas.
Prices vary by supplier and distance from the quarry, but typical local delivered ranges are about $10 to $30 per ton (roughly $8 to $22 per cubic yard) for basic fill dirt. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and delivery fees can push the per-ton price higher for very small orders or remote rural deliveries. For an exact quote, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team for local pricing and any haul fees.
Use the rule: cubic yards = area (sq ft) x depth (in inches) / 324. For 1,000 sq ft that equals about 6.2 cu yd (2"), 12.4 cu yd (4"), and 18.5 cu yd (6"); using a common conversion of ~1.3 tons per cubic yard, that is roughly 8, 16, and 24 tons respectively. Actual tonnage varies with moisture and compaction, so add 5-15% for settlement and waste when ordering.
For general grade fill, screened fill dirt with minimal organics is usually best because it compacts more uniformly. For load-bearing driveways and building pads in clay areas, select structural or engineered fill (clean, well-graded material) or use compacted road base under the surface gravel, as raw fill dirt alone can settle and hold water. Consider geotextile fabric and subdrainage if you have clay that traps moisture or steep slopes.
Simple yard fills rarely require testing, but any fill used under foundations, septic systems, or permitted building pads often must meet compaction and material specs. Permit requirements vary; contact the Grimes County permitting office or your project engineer before placing fill for structural work. Hello Gravel can deliver materials that meet common specs, but testing and acceptance typically fall to the permit holder or contractor.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Local suppliers or haulers may set higher minimums or add mileage fees for rural addresses, so small loads to remote driveways can incur extra charges. During checkout you can see any delivery fees for your zip code, and our team can help estimate the cheapest practical order size.
Fill dirt is great for raising grade but is not a structural driving surface and can erode or settle if left exposed. Crushed limestone or road base provides strength, drainage, and long-term stability for driveways, while sand drains well but lacks load-bearing capability. For best results in West Texas, use fill dirt to raise grade and then cap with road base or crushed stone to resist erosion and traffic wear.
Costs vary by scope, but expect machine grading and compaction for a small driveway to run roughly $300 to $1,200 for labor and equipment; larger or more complex jobs cost more. Compaction testing by a soils lab typically adds $300 to $700, and renting a compactor for DIY work is about $100 to $200 per day. Ask contractors for itemized bids so you can compare spreading, grading, and testing separately.
Longevity depends on compaction, traffic, drainage, and whether the fill is capped with gravel. Uncapped fill dirt in a driveway area can settle or wash out within 1 to 3 years; well-compacted fill capped with road base and stone can perform for many years with occasional top-up. Plan to inspect after the first wet season and expect to add material after initial settlement, typically within the first 6 to 12 months.
Yes. Avoid placing large fills during or immediately before heavy rain periods to reduce erosion and poor compaction; spring and fall are often best. In hot, dry spells avoid placing extremely dry material without moisture for compaction; slightly moist material compacts better. If erosion is a concern, use temporary stabilization like straw, mulch, or a gravel cap until vegetation or permanent surfacing is installed.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers that commonly source screened and structural fill dirt from nearby pits in Grimes County or neighboring counties. Some suppliers offer spreading or can recommend local contractors and equipment rental for compaction, but spreading is subject to the driver's discretion and may not be guaranteed. Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see available suppliers, request spreading in the order notes, and get contractor referrals for compaction services.

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.
