Why Taylor Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Taylor's city population is 18,540, and the surrounding metro area counts 2.5+ million residents, a growth backdrop that drives steady demand for home building, yard work, and infrastructure updates. With a 2.00% annually growth rate and a semi-arid West Texas climate—228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 36.22 inches—local homeowners and contractors regularly need dependable materials for grading, foundations, and landscape shaping. Fill dirt is a basic, dense soil used to raise grades, backfill footings, and level yards before planting or paving. Because regional soils vary, homeowners who want to prevent uneven settling, improve drainage, and create a solid base for patios or driveways seek quality fill dirt that compacts well and resists erosion, reducing rework and long-term maintenance costs.Popular Projects in Taylor This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Taylor Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Taylor.
Fill dirt is inert subsoil with low organic matter used to raise or level ground, build berms, and backfill foundations. In Taylor, TX, it’s commonly used for grading before landscaping or construction to prepare sites for foundations, driveways, and utility trenches. Because local fills reflect West Texas geology, color and compaction characteristics can vary by supplier.
Calculate area (square feet) times depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then add 10-20% for settlement and compaction. For example, 100 sq ft at 6 inches deep needs about 2.5 cubic yards before overage, so order 3 cubic yards to be safe. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a tailored estimate.
Hello Gravel deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, depending on local truck configuration and moisture. In weight, that translates roughly to 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and composition, so a full tri-axle may weigh about 12 to 18 tons. If you need a specific truck size or weight, request it at checkout or ask our team.
Prices vary with quantity, distance, regional supply, and moisture content; locally in the Taylor area you can expect a wide range. For an accurate cost, check our site for real-time pricing or get a quote—Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing and will confirm delivery fees for your zip code. Keep in mind larger orders often lower the per-unit price, and major local projects can affect availability and rates.
Yes. Large industrial or infrastructure projects in the Taylor area can increase local demand for bulk fill dirt and may reduce short-term availability or raise prices. If you have a time-sensitive project, plan ahead and book materials early through Hello Gravel to lock in delivery windows. We source regionally, so we’ll advise you about lead times if demand is elevated.
Fill dirt can be used as structural fill if it meets local building code specifications and is compacted to the required density. Many permit authorities require engineered compaction tests for structural fills, especially for foundations and slab-on-grade in Taylor; check with your local building department and a geotechnical engineer. For non-structural uses like general grading, standard fill dirt is usually acceptable when properly placed and compacted.
No, fill dirt does not harden like concrete on its own. It will compact and firm up when properly compacted and moisture-conditioned, but it remains soil and can settle over time unless stabilized with cement, lime, or other binders. If you need a hardened surface for driveways or pads, consider aggregate base or stabilization options.
Fill dirt is low in organic matter and not suitable for planting on its own; it’s intended for bulk grade adjustments and backfill. For garden beds and lawns in Taylor’s climate, topsoil or a blend of topsoil and compost is recommended to support plant growth. You can place a layer of topsoil over fill dirt to create a proper planting medium.
Make sure truck access is clear of low-hanging wires, parked cars, and tight turns; provide a preferred drop location and note any obstacles in Order Notes. Drivers will assess safety on arrival and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it’s not guaranteed. If your site is wet or soft, notify us in advance so we can coordinate the appropriate truck and schedule.
Permit and testing requirements depend on the scope of work and local codes; structural fills, retaining walls, and foundation backfill often require permits and compaction tests. For residential grading, check with the City of Taylor building department or your county for specific rules. If your contractor needs documentation, we can coordinate delivery timing to match testing schedules.
Standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days after ordering, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Lead times can increase when regional demand rises or during bad weather, so book as early as possible for time-sensitive projects. We’ll confirm delivery date and any site access notes after you place your order.
Yes. Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, fill dirt for Taylor reflects local soil and geology, so color, clay content, and texture can vary between suppliers and even between loads. If you have a color or texture preference, add it to Order Notes and our team will do our best to match that request, but exact matches are not guaranteed. For visible landscaping surfaces, consider topping with topsoil or decorative aggregate.
Use fill dirt for bulk grading, raising ground, and backfill where compaction and drainage are important but soil is acceptable. Choose crushed stone or crusher run for driveways, bases under slabs, or areas needing a stable, draining surface. If you’re unsure, contact Hello Gravel with your project details and we’ll recommend the best material for Taylor’s local conditions.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
