Why Todd Mission Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Todd Mission is a small but connected community (City Population: 107) within the McAllen area (Metro Area Population: 71,000) that is seeing steady development (Growth Rate: 1.50% annually). The local climate combines long sunny periods (Sunny Days: 205/year) with significant precipitation (Annual Rainfall: 48.00 inches) and sits in Hardiness Zone: 8b, so homeowners must plan for both strong sun and seasonal rains. Even with a modest city population, growth in the metro drives demand for home projects—yard regrading, driveway bases, and small foundation work—so residents look for dependable aggregates. Quality Fill Dirt helps stabilize grades, control runoff, and create level building pads, which makes it a frequent choice for both landscaping and basic construction tasks in Todd Mission.Popular Projects in Todd Mission This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Todd Mission Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Todd Mission.
Delivery cost depends on distance from local suppliers, number of truckloads, access difficulty, and time requested. In Todd Mission and the wider McAllen-area market, delivery fees often reflect rural routing and truck size; the fastest way to get an accurate estimate is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote since prices vary by supplier and haul distance. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing during checkout and will list any delivery fees before you pay.
Loose fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, depending on moisture and soil type. For rough estimates: a 1,000 sq ft slab raised 4 inches needs about 5 cubic yards (6.0-7.0 tons), a 12 ft by 40 ft driveway with 6 inches of fill needs about 9 cubic yards (10.8-12.6 tons), and filling a 50 ft by 50 ft lot 12 inches deep needs about 74 cubic yards (88.8-103.6 tons). Always order 5-10% extra for settlement and compaction and use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team to confirm quantities.
Fill dirt can be used to build up grade, but it is not an ideal final surface for driveways or parking pads. In Todd Mission's hot, humid climate and areas with clay subsoils, fill dirt can settle and retain moisture, so it should be capped with a stronger surface material (crushed stone or road base) and properly compacted. For driveways, we recommend using fill dirt only for subgrade leveling and then installing a compacted base material and a wearing surface for durability.
Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers that deliver bulk fill dirt near Todd Mission; availability depends on your zip code and regional sourcing. Use our website to check availability, compare suppliers, and get transparent quotes for bulk orders. For very large projects, ask about direct supplier pricing and volume discounts when you get a quote.
Fill dirt compacts reasonably well when placed in thin lifts and mechanically compacted, but performance depends on the underlying subsoil. On clay subsoils common around Todd Mission, you may see poorer drainage and potential heave; a geotextile fabric, drainage layer, or a structural base (road base or crushed stone) is often recommended to separate fill from wet clays. On sandy subsoils, fill dirt drains better but still benefits from lift compaction and a proper base if the surface will support traffic.
If fill dirt is used only as subgrade and then capped with a compacted base and appropriate surface, the assembly can last many years with routine maintenance. If fill dirt is left as the wearing layer, expect accelerated rutting, erosion, and maintenance needs, especially in wet periods. For long-term performance in Todd Mission's climate, plan to cap and compact the fill and inspect drainage regularly.
Fill dirt is intended mainly for raising grade and backfilling; it is not engineered to be a durable surface material. Crushed limestone and road base are graded, firm materials designed to provide structural support and drainage for driveways, pads, and roads. For most residential and commercial surfaces in Todd Mission, use fill dirt for bulk volume and then place road base or crushed limestone as the working structural layer.
Restrictions depend on local road weight limits, neighborhood rules, and any permits required for heavy hauling; some county roads near Todd Mission have weight and routing restrictions that affect large-haul deliveries. Before ordering multiple truckloads, check local county hauling rules and any HOA or site access rules; Hello Gravel can also flag special access issues during checkout. For large or frequent deliveries, notify your local county or city public works to confirm restrictions.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks operated by local haulers. A tri-axle often carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose material, which translates to roughly 12 to 16 tons for fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. Exact per-truck pricing varies with supplier, distance, and site access, so check your zip code on our site to see truck options and pricing for your address.
On slopes or flood-prone sites near Todd Mission, start with proper grading and ensure surface runoff is directed away from structures using swales, French drains, or retention areas. Use compacted lifts, benching on steep grades, geotextile where erosion is a concern, and cap the fill with a stable base material to reduce erosion and settlement. If your site is in a floodplain or has standing water, consult local building officials and consider engineered solutions before large-scale filling.
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.
