Why Marina del Rey Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Marina del Rey is a coastal community with a city population of 21,120 and sits within a larger metro area of 2.5+ million. Its temperate, sunny climate — about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in USDA hardiness zone 8b — supports steady development, and the area has been growing at 2.33% annually. That steady growth fuels demand for residential grading, yard rework, and light construction, so homeowners increasingly need dependable bulk materials. Properly specified fill dirt provides the volume and compaction properties required for raising grades, stabilizing slopes, and creating a consistent subgrade before adding topsoil, pavement, or hardscape. Choosing the right fill dirt reduces settling and rework and helps protect plantings and structures from coastal moisture and erosion.Popular Projects in Marina del Rey This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Marina del Rey Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Marina del Rey.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Marina del Rey commonly range from about $25 to $60 per ton depending on supplier, screening, and distance. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days; exact pricing and any delivery fees depend on your zip code and the supplier, so get a quote for an accurate number.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need roughly 12.3 cubic yards of material, which is about 16 tons using a typical loose fill density. Because fill settles and compacts, we recommend ordering an extra 10-15%, so plan on about 18 to 19 tons to be safe.
No — fill dirt is intended as subgrade or to raise elevation, not as a finished driveway surface. For coastal driveways in Marina del Rey, decomposed granite or compacted crushed rock is usually a better choice because it compacts well, sheds water, and resists erosion while also providing a finished look.
Well-compacted, clean fill dirt can perform acceptably as a subgrade in Marina del Rey, but coastal conditions — sandy native soils, high water table, and salt exposure — require attention to drainage and material quality. Avoid organic-rich topsoil as fill, use clean screened fill, and plan for drainage and compaction to minimize future settling or washout.
Choose a clean, low-organic screened fill or engineered fill with good compactability for a shed pad in Marina del Rey. Place the fill in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift; for heavy loads consider a crushed rock base under the fill and consult an engineer if the soil or water table is a concern.
Small deliveries for routine yard grading usually do not require permits, but significant changes in grade, large fill volumes, or work near the shoreline can trigger permits or inspections from Los Angeles County or coastal authorities. Before major fills or regrading, check with LA County Building and Safety and the Coastal Commission to confirm local requirements.
Most settling occurs in the first 6 to 12 months after placement, with the largest change shortly after compaction and initial wetting cycles. Proper compaction and good drainage reduce the need for frequent topping, but plan for a small follow-up top-off within the first year, especially in areas with sandy native soils.
Crushed rock or rock riprap is generally better for drainage and erosion control on slopes because it allows water to pass and resists surface wash. Fill dirt is useful for building up grade and creating a stable subgrade when properly compacted, but on slopes it should be paired with erosion-control measures like terracing, crushed rock drains, and vegetation.
Many local suppliers can deliver small loads but minimums and fees vary; Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck. For smaller projects, ask our team for options — some suppliers offer smaller trucks or palletized soil with an adjusted delivery fee.
Professional compaction and installation costs vary with project size and access; a small homeowner pad might cost a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars, while larger jobs can run higher. Expect price differences based on labor rates, equipment, and prep work; get local contractor quotes and consider bundling material delivery through Hello Gravel to simplify coordination.
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.
