Why Texas City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Texas City sits at a crossroads of steady growth and practical home improvement needs. With a city population of 41,497 and a regional growth rate of 0.70% annually, homeowners are actively renovating, landscaping, and addressing drainage and grading issues. The local climate—about 225 sunny days per year and 34.60 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates both opportunities and challenges for outdoor projects. That combination of sun and periodic heavy rain increases demand for reliable aggregates that stabilize yards, raise grades, and protect foundations. Homeowners in Texas City look for dependable materials that compact well, resist erosion, and support hardscapes and turf without introducing excess organic matter or long-term settling problems.Popular Projects in Texas City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Texas City Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Texas City.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and whether the dirt is screened, but in the Texas City area you can generally expect delivered fill dirt to run roughly $10 to $30 per ton (about $15 to $40 per cubic yard). Hello Gravel shows upfront quotes from local suppliers so you can compare exact delivered prices for your zip code and order size.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of fill (1,000 x 0.5 ft = 500 cu ft; 500/27 = 18.52 cu yd). Using an approximate conversion of 1.2 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, plan on about 22 to 24 tons and order 10% extra to allow for compaction and settlement.
Screened fill dirt is cleaner than unscreened dirt and works well for bringing grades up, but it is not the best structural base for driveways or parking pads. For load-bearing surfaces choose a compactable aggregate like crusher run or crushed stone as the base, then top with a surface material; screened fill can be used to grade around edges or behind retaining walls.
Performance depends on the dirt's composition: clay-rich fill can shrink, swell, and hold water in humid conditions, while sandy or granular fill drains better in Texas Citys climate. For projects affected by moisture cycles, ask suppliers about particle size and consider engineered or compacted fill and drainage measures to reduce movement.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that deliver to Texas City; our minimum order is typically 3 tons, and many suppliers offer small loads but with higher per-ton pricing. For larger contractor orders you can request bulk pricing and scheduled delivery windows through our platform.
Fill dirt used only to raise grade will settle and may need a top-up within 1 to 3 years unless compacted and stabilized; a properly built driveway base using suitable aggregates and compaction can last 10 years or more before major repairs. Routine maintenance and proper drainage in Texas Citys wet seasons will extend service life.
Crusher run is better for drainage, compaction, and load-bearing applications because it contains angular stone and fines that lock together when compacted. Fill dirt is best for bulk fill and grade-raising but does not provide the same structural support or drainage characteristics as crusher run, so use crusher run for pads and bases and fill dirt for non-structural fill.
Yes, mechanical compaction (plate compactor for smaller areas or a roller for larger fills) is recommended to reduce settlement and improve stability. Some contractors include compaction in their quotes for engineered fills, but many hauling-only deliveries do not, so confirm with your contractor or include compaction as a separate line item.
Raising elevation in a floodplain or near regulated drainage often requires permits or approval from the Texas City building department or county floodplain authority. Check with local permitting offices before starting work; your project may need engineered fill, compaction documentation, or an elevation certificate to meet floodplain rules.
Calculate volume in cubic feet: area (sq ft) x depth (ft), then divide by 27 to get cubic yards; multiply cubic yards by 1.2 to 1.3 to estimate tons. Use Hello Gravels material calculator or give your measurements at checkout, choose a delivery date, add placement notes for the driver, and order about 10% extra for compaction and settlement.
Provide delivery notes with clear drop location, access restrictions, and photos of the site; flag overhead lines and mark buried utilities. Texas City roads and yards can be soft after heavy rain, so schedule deliveries for dry days when possible, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to help, remembering this is at the drivers discretion.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
