Why Tyler Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tyler, TX (population 142,014) is a growing East Texas city with a 1.90% annual growth rate and a climate that supports year‑round projects — about 228 sunny days and 34.00 inches of rain per year in USDA hardiness zone 8b. That steady growth and favorable weather drive demand for residential grading, foundation backfill, driveway base work, and yard leveling. Homeowners want reliable, locally sourced aggregates that perform in Tyler's soils and weather: materials that compact well, resist washout during heavy rains, and support landscaping or hardscape finishes. Fill Dirt is often chosen as the economical backbone for these jobs because it provides bulk volume at lower cost than topsoil or engineered fill while creating stable grades for sod, driveways, patios, and building pads.Popular Projects in Tyler This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tyler Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Tyler.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper than screened topsoil because it contains less organic material. In the Tyler/East Texas area, delivered fill dirt commonly falls in a lower price band than topsoil; a rough local range is $10 to $30 per cubic yard for basic fill dirt versus $25 to $50 per cubic yard for screened topsoil, depending on delivery distance and screening. Use Hello Gravel to get a written delivered quote for your zip code, since local supplier rates and minimums can change costs.
Select or screened fill dirt is cleaned of large rocks, roots, and construction debris and is better suited for structural fills or grading. Many Tyler suppliers offer screened/select options; request 'select fill dirt' or 'screened' when ordering through Hello Gravel and add details in Order Notes so suppliers can match availability. If you need certification that the material is free of organic matter or debris, ask suppliers for a description or photos before delivery.
You can buy fill dirt in Tyler through Hello Gravel, which connects you to local quarries, landscapers, and haulers that serve the area. Most suppliers deliver to residential addresses, but access, driveway slope, overhead wires, and local road restrictions can affect placement. Add delivery instructions and photos at checkout so the driver and supplier can confirm whether they can safely dump in your desired spot.
Common dump truck loads in Tyler include tri-axle end-dumps holding about 10 to 14 cubic yards, pup trucks around 5 to 8 cubic yards, and belly/dump trailers that can carry larger amounts. Many Hello Gravel quotes include delivery, but additional fees can apply for long hauls, tight access, offloading assistance, or time-sensitive deliveries. Check the delivered quantity on your quote and ask about any extra access or spreading fees before confirming.
Some suppliers or partner contractors in the Tyler area can provide compacted fill or coordinate compaction services, but this is not guaranteed through every hauler. Hello Gravel can refer you to local contractors who offer compaction, compaction testing, or equipment rental such as plate compactors and small rollers; request those services when you order so vendors can confirm availability. For structural or engineered fills, follow your engineer's specs and get written confirmation of compaction procedures from the contractor.
To raise 1,000 square feet by 6 inches you need roughly 18.5 cubic yards (1,000 ft2 x 0.5 ft = 500 ft3; 500 ft3 ÷ 27 = 18.5 yd3). We recommend ordering 5 to 10 percent extra for spreading, settling, and compaction, so plan on about 19.5 to 20.5 cubic yards. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or send your dimensions to our team for a quick, location-specific estimate.
Standard Hello Gravel delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-day delivery is rarely available and depends on local supplier capacity and truck routing; call our sales team to check for immediate needs. Always confirm delivery windows and any access restrictions when scheduling to avoid delays.
Permitting depends on the project type and volume; small landscaping deliveries usually do not require permits, but large fills, substantial grade changes, or commercial projects may trigger city or county requirements for land disturbance, erosion control, or right-of-way use. Suppliers can often provide delivery manifests or source documentation to help with contractor submissions, but you should contact the City of Tyler or Smith County building and permitting office for specific requirements. If you are working with an engineer or contractor, have them confirm permit needs before ordering large amounts.
In East Texas, fill dirt typically comes from local borrow pits, quarries, or excavation spoils; screening and cleanliness vary by supplier. Many Tyler-area suppliers offer screened or select fill dirt that excludes large debris, and they can usually provide photos or a material description on request. For projects that require lab testing or contamination checks, ask suppliers for available test results or arrange independent sampling before accepting delivery.
Hello Gravel accepts all major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay for standard orders; these options work well for homeowners and small contractors. Some suppliers and local vendors offer invoicing or net terms for established commercial accounts—contact Hello Gravel's sales team to request commercial billing, submit W-9s, or discuss account terms. For large or recurring projects, suppliers may require a deposit or written purchase order before scheduling deliveries.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
