Why Stockdale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Stockdale is a small but growing West Texas community with a city population of 4,290 and steady development pressure as the region expands at about 1.10% annually. With 225 sunny days a year and annual rainfall of 34.50 inches in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners face a mix of sun‑baked soils and occasional wet periods that affect grading and drainage. That combination drives demand for dependable aggregates: homeowners and local contractors need reliable fill material for raising low spots, stabilizing foundation pads, and prepping sites for driveways, patios, and landscaping. Good fill dirt helps prevent uneven settling, supports compaction, and provides a stable base for hardscape and turf in Stockdale’s climate. Fill dirt is well suited to many of these local needs because it is intended for volume, compaction, and structural backfill rather than decorative finish. In Stockdale’s sun and 225-day growing season, properly placed and compacted fill dirt reduces erosion risk during the region’s 34.50 inches of annual rain and creates a stable base for topsoil, pavers, or concrete. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and haulers so you get regionally sourced fill dirt delivered on your schedule, with clear pricing and delivery options. We handle ordering, coordinate dump truck delivery, and offer guidance on quantities so your project keeps moving without surprise trips to multiple yards.Popular Projects in Stockdale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Stockdale Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Stockdale.
Fill dirt is subsoil stripped of most organic matter and used to raise grade or fill holes; it is not designed for plant growth. Topsoil is richer in organic material and nutrients for landscaping. In the Stockdale area, locally sourced fill dirt may contain clay or caliche and will look denser and less loamy than topsoil.
Yes — fill dirt is commonly used to level yards and raise low spots, but it should be placed in thin lifts and compacted for stability. If you need to change drainage or support structures, consider professional compaction or engineered fill. Our local suppliers in the Stockdale area can recommend compaction rates based on regional soil types.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and season, but a delivered tri-axle load (roughly 10-14 cubic yards, depending on moisture and soil type) in the Stockdale area typically ranges widely. Expect approximate delivered costs from about $150 to $450 per truckload, though rates can be higher for long hauls or special material. For an exact price and next-day options, check availability and get a quote through Hello Gravel (minimum order 3 tons).
Calculate cubic yards by multiplying length x width x depth (all in feet) and dividing by 27. Then convert cubic yards to tons using a local estimate: fill dirt in this region often weighs about 1.2 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and caliche content. For example, a 10 ft x 10 ft area raised 6 inches needs 10 x 10 x 0.5 / 27 = 1.85 cubic yards, roughly 2.2 to 3.1 tons.
No — fill dirt generally lacks the organic matter and nutrients plants need, so it is not a good finish soil for lawns or planting beds. After grading with fill dirt, add a 4 to 6-inch layer of quality topsoil or compost before planting. In Stockdale's local climate, top-dressing with nutrient-rich soil will greatly improve plant establishment and drainage.
Not by itself. Structural projects require engineered or compacted structural fill and often a crushed-stone base; ordinary fill dirt may settle and cause failure. If you need support for driveways or slabs in Stockdale, ask your contractor or Hello Gravel for structural fill options or recommendations for stabilizing the native soil.
Decorative gravels such as Texas black or pea gravel are surface materials used for aesthetics and drainage, not for raising grade. Fill dirt is fine-grained subsoil used to build up or level an area and usually contains finer particles like sand, silt, clay, or caliche. If you need a finished surface that sheds water or looks decorative, choose a gravel product instead of fill dirt.
Avoid using fill dirt where drainage is critical, directly against foundation walls without proper drainage measures, or as a planting medium. Also do not use loose fill dirt for load-bearing applications without proper compaction and testing. For these situations in Stockdale, consider engineered fill, gravel, or professional soil amendments instead.
Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed. When requesting spreading at checkout, note that the driver will assess access, safety, and the ability to spread on arrival. If you need precise placement, plan for mechanical spreading or hire a local contractor; Hello Gravel coordinates delivery but spreading is dependent on the driver and site conditions.
Yes — regional sourcing means fill dirt delivered to Stockdale can include local materials like clay, silt, and sometimes caliche nodules common in Texas soils. These materials affect compaction, drainage, and weight, so let your supplier know if you need cleaner fill or have specific requirements. If you want a material free of caliche or rock, request that information when you order through Hello Gravel.
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.
