Why Silverton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Silverton is a small West Texas community of 880 residents located inside a broader metro of 2.5+ million people. With steady growth of 0.70% annually, local homeowners and small contractors are steadily investing in property improvements, repairs, and new landscaping projects. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rain annually, in hardiness zone 8b—creates long dry periods punctuated by occasional heavy showers. That pattern increases demand for dependable aggregates to manage grading, control erosion, and form stable bases for patios, driveways, and shed pads. Because regional sourcing affects soil texture and coloration, Silverton homeowners look for consistent, compactable materials that reduce rework and keep projects on schedule.Popular Projects in Silverton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Silverton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Silverton.
Fill dirt is subsoil material with little organic matter used to raise ground elevations or fill low spots. In Silverton's arid environment you typically use it for building pads, leveling yards, backfilling trenches, or preparing a base under other structural materials; it is not usually the finished surface for driveways or flower beds.
Calculate cubic yards: 50 x 50 ft = 2,500 sq ft; 6 inches = 0.5 ft so 2,500 x 0.5 = 1,250 cubic feet ÷ 27 = about 46.3 cubic yards. Fill dirt weighs roughly 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so expect about 50 to 60 tons and plan on 5% to 10% extra for compaction and grading.
On clay-rich West Texas soils, fill dirt can settle, shrink, or hold water if not compacted and graded properly. In Silverton's hot, dry climate you should compact in lifts and provide positive drainage; for load-bearing applications consider engineered fill or a structural base layer to avoid future settlement.
For raising grades, use clean, low-organic, granular fill that compacts well; screened fill is better for finish grading and landscaping. For driveways and pads, a compacted structural base such as road base or crushed limestone over fill dirt will outperform loose fill dirt alone.
Material prices and delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; rural deliveries around Silverton often include minimum truck fees and fuel surcharges. Expect minimum delivery charges to range from roughly $150 to $400 for remote drops and per-ton delivery fees commonly in the single digits to low twenties ($5 to $20/ton) depending on distance and truck type; check our checkout for a zip-code specific quote and remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons.
Yes, Hello Gravel connects you with local and regional suppliers that can deliver to Silverton when available in your zip code. Standard delivery requires 2 or more business days, next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks with tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion.
Screened fill dirt is worth it when you need a clean, fine surface for lawns, topsoil blending, or final grades because it contains fewer rocks and debris. For bulk structural fill under foundations or for rough grade raising, unprocessed fill is usually acceptable and more cost-effective.
Yes, compacting in lifts (typically 4 to 6 inches) is standard to reduce settlement; many projects target high relative compaction for structural work. Hiring a contractor for compaction can vary widely: small jobs may run $50 to $150 per hour for equipment, or $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot depending on access and soil conditions; get local estimates for accurate pricing.
A driveway built only with compacted fill dirt will have a limited lifespan under vehicle traffic; performance depends on compaction, drainage, and traffic loads. Expect to maintain it with periodic regrading, adding rock or a surface layer like road base, and fixing drainage problems to extend its service life.
Permit and HOA rules vary: Silverton city or Briscoe County may not require a permit for small amounts of fill, but large grading, changes to drainage, or work in regulated areas can trigger permitting. Always check with your county or city planning office and any HOA before ordering, and contact Hello Gravel if you need help confirming local requirements.
Plan a clear drop zone with good truck access, keep material at least several feet from foundations and septic systems, and consider erosion control for windy, dry conditions. If you need the truck to place material close to a structure, request tailgate spreading at checkout and note that the driver will assess safety and access on arrival.
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.
