Why Wellman Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Wellman has a city population of 252 and sits inside a slowly growing metro area with a metro area population of 8,625 and a growth rate of 0.40% annually. The local climate—about 262 sunny days a year, an annual rainfall of 18.50 inches, and hardiness zone 7a—means outdoor projects here are often focused on durability, low-maintenance landscaping, and reliable drainage. Even with a small population, steady growth and agricultural activity drive demand for basic site work: leveling pads for sheds, regrading driveways, filling low spots, and preparing bases for patios and outbuildings. Homeowners in Wellman look for fill materials that compact well, resist settling, and help channel occasional rain away from structures, so quality aggregates and proper installation matter more than flashy finishes.Popular Projects in Wellman This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Wellman Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Wellman.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than decorative gravel in West Texas. Fill dirt is mostly fine soil with few stones and is priced lower per cubic yard; gravel is processed stone for surfacing and landscaping and usually costs more. Local availability around Wellman (a small, rural area) can make fill dirt especially affordable, but exact prices vary by supplier and delivery distance.
No. "Texas black" is a decorative gravel or crushed rock used for driveways and landscaping, while fill dirt is loose soil used to raise grade or backfill. For structural fill or planting near Wellman, use fill dirt or engineered fill as appropriate, and use decorative gravel only for surface finish.
Costs vary, but in West Texas delivered fill dirt often falls in a broad range of roughly $8 to $20 per cubic yard depending on source and haul distance. A typical tri-axle dump holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards, so material cost alone might be roughly $80 to $240 per load; delivery or minimum order fees can add to that, so get a local quote for an exact price.
Use depth to calculate cubic yards: multiply area by depth and divide by 324. For 1,000 sq ft that equals about 3.09 yd3 per inch of depth, so 3 inches needs about 9.26 yd3, 6 inches about 18.52 yd3, and 12 inches about 37.04 yd3. Add 5-15% extra for compaction and grading when ordering.
No. Fill dirt can be compacted to become firm, but it will not harden like concrete. For load-bearing surfaces or driveways in the Wellman area you should use engineered base materials (crushed stone or compacted gravel) or consult a contractor for proper compaction and drainage rather than relying on fill dirt alone.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and covers about 324 sq ft at a 1-inch depth, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Use those figures to estimate coverage for your Wellman project, and remember to order extra for compaction and grading.
Fill dirt is primarily fine soil with few or no rocks and is used to build up grade or backfill. G1 and 3/4" refer to crushed stone sizes used as structural base or drainage; they are coarser and drain better than fill dirt. Choose fill dirt for bulk elevation work and crushed stone for bases, driveways, or areas that need drainage.
Fill dirt is fine for raising low spots, backfilling, or underlayment, but it is not a good top layer for lawns or gardens because it lacks organic matter and nutrients. After filling, place several inches of topsoil or amended soil before planting to ensure good grass or garden growth in West Texas conditions.
Provide clear delivery instructions including preferred drop location, driveway access, and any obstacles or low-hanging wires. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to spread material (subject to driver discretion), call 811 to mark utilities before digging, and note that narrow rural roads around Wellman may affect truck access and delivery timing.
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.
