Why Tenaha Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tenaha, city population 2,620, sits inside a wider West Texas metro area of 2.7+ million and combines rural character with steady development. The town sees a temperate, sun-rich climate (228/year sunny days), an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and falls in hardiness zone 8b. With a modest growth rate of 0.15% annually, homeowners and small contractors are gradually expanding properties with projects like grading, driveway installation, raised garden beds, and flood-prone low spot repair. That steady local demand makes reliable fill material important: homeowners want predictable compaction, minimal organic content, and regional sourcing so that new fill integrates with existing subsoil and avoids settling or drainage issues that can add time and cost to a job.Popular Projects in Tenaha This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tenaha Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Tenaha.
Prices vary with haul distance, supplier and amount, but expect delivered fill dirt in the Tenaha area to run roughly $12 to $40 per cubic yard (or about $15 to $45 per ton) as a general range. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and delivery is by dump truck; final cost will include any haul fees and may change based on supplier availability and site access. For an accurate price, get a quote for your zip code and preferred delivery date.
Use clean, low-organic fill dirt that is well-graded with some fines so it compacts well; avoid topsoil or high-organic mixes for structural fills. For driveways and pads, place and compact fill dirt in layers and finish with a structural wearing layer (crushed stone or gravel) for drainage and load-bearing. Local suppliers may vary, so add notes to your order if you need low-organic or specific material characteristics.
A 1/4-acre is 10,890 square feet; raising it 6 inches (0.5 feet) requires about 5,445 cubic feet, which is roughly 201.7 cubic yards. Using a typical compacted fill density (about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard), you should budget approximately 220 to 280 tons of fill dirt, depending on compaction and soil type. Order a little extra to allow for settlement and compaction losses.
Fill dirt can help by reshaping slopes and filling gullies, but it must be combined with proper drainage, compaction, vegetation or erosion control blankets to be effective. On moderate to steep slopes, pair fill with terraces, retaining features, or geotextile to prevent slump and washouts during heavy rains. For long-term control in the local climate, plan for grade, drainage outlets, and plantings or mulch to stabilize the surface.
Fill dirt alone is not intended as a wearing surface under repeated heavy truck traffic; without a structural base it will fail sooner. If you install a well-compacted fill, a geotextile, and a proper crushed-stone wearing course, the assembled section can last many years (often 5 to 15 years or more) depending on traffic frequency and maintenance. For farm lanes or frequent truck use, specify a stone base rather than leaving fill dirt exposed.
For structural strength and drainage, crushed limestone or crushed rock is usually the better top layer for farm lanes; fill dirt can be used to rebuild low spots or raise grade but is not a durable surface. A common approach is to use fill dirt to bring grades up, then add and compact a crushed-limestone base and wearing surface. Discuss your lane use and budget with a supplier or contractor to pick the right combination.
Yes, local contractors and grading crews provide placement, grading, and compaction services in and around Tenaha. Small yard pads or driveway leveling jobs often run from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on access, amount of material, and equipment needed; larger jobs like long farm lanes or full-site grading can be several thousand dollars. Get multiple quotes and ask contractors whether their price includes compaction, machinery, disposal of unwanted material, and any permits.
Yes. Demand and price can rise in spring and summer construction season and fall planting season, while late fall and winter are often less busy and can be cheaper. Weather, road restrictions, and supplier inventory also affect delivery timing; check for next-day delivery options before noon CST when available and plan ahead for wet seasons that can delay truck access. Hello Gravel will show current availability and allows you to pick a preferred delivery date at checkout.
In sandier soils, add a stable base such as a compacted layer of crushed stone and consider a geotextile fabric to separate the native sand from the structural fill, which improves load distribution and reduces rutting. Install swales, French drains, or perforated pipe where water collects and use proper compaction moisture content during placement to get the best density. Avoid using organic-rich topsoil as structural fill and consult a contractor if you need stabilization or soil amendment recommendations for specific loads.
Costs depend on pad size and depth; for a 24x24 garage pad filled 6 inches you need about 10 to 12 cubic yards of material. At local delivered prices (roughly $12 to $40 per cubic yard for fill dirt and $20 to $50 per cubic yard for topsoil) expect material costs in the $300 to $1,000 range, plus any delivery fees and a minimum 3-ton order on Hello Gravel. For a precise estimate, enter pad dimensions and preferred delivery date on our site or contact our team for a custom quote.

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.
