Frequently Asked Questions - West University Place Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in West University Place.
Delivered fill dirt prices in West University Place typically range from about $8 to $20 per ton, depending on haul distance, supplier availability, and whether the material is screened or contains more clay. Minimum orders, delivery type (standard vs next-day), and any required permits or difficult access can raise the final price. Use our zip-code checkout to get an exact quote for your address.
Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and contracted haulers that serve West University Place and the surrounding Houston area. For specific haulers and landscaping or excavation contractors, check our delivery quote page or contact our sales team and we will connect you with nearby suppliers who deliver fill dirt to your address.
West University Place sits in the Houston coastal plain where clayey, expansive soils and seasonal heavy rain are common, so fill dirt can settle unevenly and hold water if not properly compacted and graded. For grading and foundation backfill, compaction and proper drainage layers are essential; avoid using plain fill dirt as a final surface in areas with vehicle traffic or poor drainage. Ask your supplier about screened or engineered fill for better stability in this climate.
Small lawn repairs often need 2 to 6 cubic yards (roughly 3 to 8 tons), while raising or regrading a typical yard (1,000 to 1,500 sq ft by 2-4 inches) requires about 7 to 13 cubic yards (10 to 18 tons). Driveway underfill or major grading projects can require 20 to 100+ cubic yards depending on depth and area. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a site-specific estimate and choose tons or cubic yards at checkout.
Local rules vary: small landscape grade changes often do not require a city permit, but any changes that affect stormwater runoff, alter curb flow, or change finished floor elevation can trigger a building or grading permit from the City of West University Place. Many HOAs also have rules about front-yard materials, visible grades, and driveway surfaces, so check your HOA covenants before delivery. When in doubt, contact city building permitting or your HOA to confirm requirements.
Fill dirt is primarily fine-grained soil used to raise grades and fill voids; it compacts but does not provide a stable wearing surface for driveways. Road base is a crushed stone and aggregate mix designed to compact tightly for structural support under pavement, making it a better choice for driveways. Decomposed granite is decorative, drains well, and is used for paths and patios but is not a structural backfill; pick the material that matches the function (bulk fill vs structural base vs decorative surface).
For small residential jobs, expect contractors to charge roughly $200 to $800 for delivery placement, grading, and compaction, while larger jobs are often quoted by area or cubic yard and can run from $1.50 to $3.50 per square foot depending on scope. Equipment rental and operator rates, accessibility, and the need for import/export of material will affect price. We recommend getting 2-3 local quotes and asking contractors about required compaction passes and target density for your project.
For drainage and erosion control in West University Place, a well-graded fill with a mix of sand and fines performs better than pure clay fill dirt because it sheds water and compacts predictably. When improved drainage is needed, place a coarse drainage layer (pea gravel or 3/4" stone) below the fill or use screened fill with higher sand content. Discuss project-specific mixes with your supplier so they can recommend screened fill or blended material for slope stabilization or landscaping beds.
Yes. West University Place has narrow residential streets, tight driveways, and overhead wires that can limit dump truck access; tell us about tight turns, gated entries, or parking restrictions when ordering. Minimum orders apply (3 tons), and larger trucks may need street parking or permits—our team will coordinate with local haulers and advise if alternate drop spots or smaller trucks are required. Request tailgate spreading at checkout, but note the driver does so at their discretion for safety reasons.
Clear the intended drop area of cars, toys, and landscaping, and mark utility lines and obstacles clearly with flags or stakes so the driver knows where to dump. Measure and confirm the preferred drop location during checkout, and ensure there is legal on-street parking or private access for a tri-axle dump truck; if access is limited, coordinate with our team for alternate plans. Finally, have a contractor or landscaper lined up if you need the material spread and compacted after delivery.
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.
