Why Tomball Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tomball has a city population of 105,130 and sits within a metro area population of 2.5+ million, growing at a steady 0.40% annually. That steady growth, combined with Tomball's semi-arid climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.32 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—keeps local construction and landscaping active. Homeowners and local contractors commonly need fill for grading, foundation backfill, driveway bases, and yard leveling as lots are prepared for new landscaping, additions, or drainage fixes. Because projects here must handle both heavy sun and periodic rain, homeowners look for consistent, low-organic fill materials that compact well and resist erosion to minimize settling and maintain proper water flow.Popular Projects in Tomball This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tomball Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Tomball.
In Tomball, delivered fill dirt usually runs about $10 to $25 per ton depending on supplier, moisture content, and how far the material must be hauled. Site access, delivery speed (next-day has an extra fee), and whether you need spreading or compaction can change the price. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers 2+ business day standard delivery with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST.
A typical tri-axle dump for fill dirt in our network carries roughly 12 to 18 tons, though actual loads vary by truck and local suppliers. To estimate material needs, multiply area (ft2) by depth (inches/12) to get cubic feet, convert to cubic yards (divide by 27), then multiply by about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt. Example: a 20 ft x 50 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is about 12.3 cubic yards or roughly 14 to 16 tons.
For Tomball and surrounding West Texas areas, choose clean, low-organic fill dirt with some clay or fine-grained material so it compacts well for structural fills. For driveway subgrade and foundation backfill, use a compactable fill with minimal vegetation and debris; for driveways you should cap that with base rock or crushed stone for drainage and wear. If the project is structural, follow geotechnical recommendations; homeowners should avoid loose topsoil mixes for load-bearing uses.
Tomball's soils can include expansive clays and poor drainage pockets, so many projects benefit from a well-graded, low-organic fill and attention to drainage rather than additives. For structural work, engineers sometimes specify controlled fills, sand layers, or stabilization (lime/cement) where necessary; for landscaping, adding sand and improving surface grading is usually enough. Always check site-specific conditions and consult a geotechnical engineer for foundations or large grade changes.
Hello Gravel coordinates with local suppliers and typically offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Lead times can vary by supplier, seasonal demand, and access at the drop location, so we recommend checking availability for your zip code and scheduling your delivery date at checkout. Drivers use contracted dump trucks and may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; no spreading guarantees are provided.
Small landscaping fills usually do not require permits, but foundation backfill, major grading, retaining walls, or changes to drainage may trigger permits and inspections from the City of Tomball or Harris County. Structural fills often require compaction to a specified percent of maximum dry density and may need compaction testing by a soils lab. Check local building department rules and your HOA before ordering large quantities for structural work.
As a finished surface, fill dirt is not durable for driveways and will erode or rut quickly in hot, wet, or high-traffic conditions; as a properly compacted subgrade under base rock or pavement it can perform for decades. For erosion control, success depends on slope, vegetation, and drainage—hot Texas summers can dry and shrink loose fills, so seed, mulch, or erosion control fabric helps establish cover. Proper compaction and a suitable wearing surface are the keys to long life.
Use fill dirt to raise grade or fill voids and for non-driving backfill; for driveways you should build on compacted fill dirt only as the subgrade, then place base rock or crushed stone on top as the structural layer and wearing surface. Crushed stone/base rock provide drainage, load distribution, and durability that fill dirt alone cannot. For best results in Tomball's climate, compact the fill, install a stable base rock, and finish with a surface material designed for vehicle traffic.
Measure your area and desired depth to calculate cubic yards, then convert to tons using about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, and remember Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum. Add notes about delivery access, desired drop location, and any spreading requests at checkout; expect standard delivery in 2+ business days or request next-day before noon CST for an extra fee. Contact our team if you have questions about material suitability, compaction, or local permitting.
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.

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.

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.
