Why Strawn Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Strawn, West Texas, is a small but active community (city population 830) located inside a larger metro area serving 2.5+ million residents. With a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually, local homeowners and contractors are investing in property improvements, grading, and drainage projects. The area's semi-arid climate—228 sunny days per year, USDA hardiness zone 8b, and average annual rainfall of 34.25 inches—creates conditions where proper ground preparation matters: controlling erosion, creating stable building pads, and managing runoff. Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and moisture content of soils can vary, so selecting fill dirt that compacts well and matches local soil behavior is essential for long-lasting results and reduced maintenance.Popular Projects in Strawn This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Strawn Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Strawn.
In rural West Texas around Strawn, delivered fill dirt typically falls in the range of about $12 to $30 per ton, depending on truck distance, local supply, and site access. Prices on the low end are for local screened fill with easy access; higher costs reflect long hauls, restricted access, or surcharge for small orders. Get an exact quote in checkout or call our team since local rates vary.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order; most residential deliveries to Strawn arrive on tri-axle dump trucks, which commonly carry about 10 to 14 tons of dirt. For larger jobs suppliers may use end-dumps or pup trailers that carry more per load. Tell us about access constraints (driveway width, overhead lines, culverts) so we can match the right truck.
Fill dirt is fine for raising grades and filling low spots, but it is not an ideal structural surface in hot, clay-prone soils. In Strawn's climate you should use screened or select fill for bulk raising, then cap with road base or crusher run for driveways; engineered structural fill is usually required under house pads and foundations per engineer recommendations. For driveways and pads, talk to a contractor or engineer to specify the right combination of fill, drainage, and compaction.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of material, which typically equals roughly 20 to 24 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. We recommend ordering slightly extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and settling. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or request a quote with your project dimensions for a precise recommendation.
In Strawn's hot, dry spells fill dirt—especially if clay-rich—can shrink, harden, and crack; during heavy rains it can become sticky, lose strength, and hold water if not properly graded. Proper compaction, slope, and drainage are essential to prevent settling and erosion. For exposed or load-bearing areas, cap fill with a free-draining layer (gravel or road base) and install positive drainage away from structures.
Most private deliveries to properties in and around Strawn do not require a city permit, but you should check with Strawn city hall and Palo Pinto County for local road weight restrictions or special requirements. Ensure access is clear (typical truck needs 12 to 16 feet of width, level ground to offload, and no low-hanging wires) and flag any narrow drives or culverts before delivery. If trucks must use county roads or exceed local weight limits, additional permits or routing fees may apply.
Fill dirt is often less expensive and good for raising grade, but it does not compact into a load-bearing surface and drains poorly in clay soils. Road base or crusher run is designed to lock together, provide drainage, and resist rutting—making it a better top layer for driveways in Strawn. A common approach is to use fill dirt for bulk leveling, then place and compact a road base surface for the driveway.
Contractors in the Strawn area typically spread fill dirt in 4 to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or small roller, aiming for 90% to 95% of standard compaction where required. They condition moisture before compaction—material should be damp but not saturated—to reach proper density. For structural pads, contractors often add geotextile fabric and a granular base layer and follow engineer specs for lift thickness and testing.
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.
