Why Westlake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Westlake is a small but growing city of 2,101 residents sitting inside a fast-expanding West Texas metro area of 2.4+ million. With a growth rate of 4.53% annually and a semi-arid climate that sees about 235 sunny days and 34.50 inches of rain each year in hardiness zone 8b, homeowners in Westlake are frequently tackling grading, yard renovations, and foundation prep as properties evolve. That steady population and development pressure creates real demand for reliable aggregates — especially materials used to level, raise, or stabilize soil. Homeowners look for consistent, low-organic fill material to avoid future settling, improve drainage, and prepare pads for landscaping, sheds, and additions, and they want clear pricing and dependable delivery schedules so projects stay on track.Popular Projects in Westlake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Westlake Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Westlake.
Generally yes. Fill dirt is usually less expensive per ton than crushed gravel because it is unprocessed soil intended for raising grade or backfill. Prices still vary by local supplier, delivery distance, and required volume, so get a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.
Typical tri-axle dump trucks we work with carry roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards of material, which translates to about 12 to 18 tons for fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. How much area that covers depends on depth: for example, 10 cubic yards will cover about 1,620 sq ft at 2 inches or about 270 sq ft at 12 inches. Ask our team to help convert yards to the square footage and depth for your specific project.
Fill dirt is primarily native soil with minimal organic matter used to build up or level ground and backfill trenches; it compacts when properly placed but is not intended for surface finishes. Gravel is crushed rock used as a stable, draining surface or base for driveways and walkways. In Westlake's hot summers and clay-prone subsoils, gravel is usually recommended where drainage and long-term surface stability matter.
Buy in bulk to lower per-ton costs and source locally to cut delivery fees; Hello Gravel helps compare nearby suppliers and schedule a single delivery. Plan placement to minimize re-handling, and confirm load sizes and truck access so you avoid extra spreads or double handling charges.
Volume depends on depth. As a rule of thumb: 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches needs about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 8 to 10 tons), at 4 inches about 12.3 cubic yards (15 to 20 tons), and at 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards (23 to 30 tons). Use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate based on compaction and local soil conditions.
Fill dirt density varies with moisture and composition, but a common range is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. That means 1 ton is roughly 0.6 to 0.85 cubic yards. For ordering, convert using your project depth and allow a small overage for compaction and settlement.
No. Two inches of fill dirt is not sufficient or suitable as a driveway surface. Driveways need a compacted base of crushed stone or gravel for load-bearing and drainage, with an appropriate wearing surface on top; fill dirt is best used for raising grades or backfill, not as a final driving surface.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level low spots, but it should be placed and compacted in lifts to avoid future settling. If you plan to grow grass or garden, add a layer of topsoil on the surface and grade slopes so water runs away from structures—Westlake's summer storms make proper grading important. Consider hiring compaction equipment or asking our team for supplier recommendations.
No. Fill dirt usually contains fine particles that do not drain well and can trap water. For drainage trenches or French drains, use clean gravel or crushed stone and a geotextile fabric; fill dirt may be used to cover the drain once the gravel system is in place.
Coverage depends on the depth you need. As a rough guide, one ton of fill dirt will cover about 130 sq ft at 2 inches, about 43 sq ft at 6 inches, and about 22 sq ft at 12 inches, using a typical density range. Always calculate using cubic yards for greater accuracy and add a small overage for compaction.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, and a common wheelbarrow holds about 3 cubic feet, so expect roughly 9 wheelbarrow loads per cubic yard. Wheelbarrow size and how full you load it will change that number, so treat 9 to 12 as a practical range for planning.
A 10 cubic yard delivery is a common bulk quantity that equals 270 cubic feet of material and usually weighs around 12 to 16 tons depending on moisture. That volume is helpful for larger landscaping or backfill tasks—discuss truck access, drop location, and any spreading needs with our team so the driver can place the load as close as possible to where you need it.
Yes, you can place fill dirt over existing soil to raise grade, but you should compact it in layers and avoid burying utility lines—call 811 before any digging. Also confirm local grading and drainage rules with Westlake's permitting office if you are changing lot elevations near property lines or drainage paths.
Start by checking zip code availability on our site, use the material calculator to estimate cubic yards or tons, and choose a delivery date at checkout.

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.
