Why Port Costa Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Port Costa has a city population of 199 and sits within a steadily growing region (metro area population of 2.5+ million) that supports occasional residential and small-scale infrastructure projects. With a growth rate of 0.40% annually, homeowners and local contractors are seeing modest demand for grading, site prep, and landscape improvements. The local climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.32 inches of annual rainfall—combined with Hardiness Zone 8b produces soils that can be prone to erosion in heavy rains yet dry quickly after wet periods. That mix makes reliable, well-compacted fill material essential for projects ranging from raised garden beds and driveway subgrade to lawn regrading and utility trenches. Homeowners choose quality aggregates to reduce future settling, control runoff, and create proper structural bases for hardscapes and buildings.Popular Projects in Port Costa This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Port Costa Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Port Costa.
Yes. In Port Costa, fill dirt is usually cheaper per ton than decorative gravel because it is a lower-spec material used mainly to raise grade or fill holes. Prices still vary by local supply, truck distance, and moisture content, so Hello Gravel can provide a site-specific quote.
Prices vary by source and delivery distance, but in the Port Costa area fill dirt typically ranges from about $15 to $60 per ton. Local factors like haul distance from the supplier, seasonal demand, and wetness of the dirt affect the final price, and Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum per order.
Fill dirt is fine soil with some small rock and clay used to build up or level ground, while gravel is a coarse, rock-based material used for drainage and surfaces. Fill dirt compacts to support grade changes but drains poorly, whereas gravel drains well and provides a stable wearing surface.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which can equal roughly 8 to 15 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. In Port Costa the delivered cost for a single truckload usually varies widely with distance and supplier, so contact Hello Gravel for an exact truckload price and delivery fee.
To estimate, multiply area by depth: for 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need 500 cubic feet or about 18.5 cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard loose, so that 18.5 cu yd equals roughly 22 to 28 tons; adjust for compaction and final grade.
A tri-axle truck commonly used by Hello Gravel holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which for fill dirt typically equals about 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Exact tonnage varies by truck type and material density, so ask your Hello Gravel quote for the specific truck assigned to your delivery.
Buy in bulk from a local supplier to reduce haul charges, and schedule delivery on a weekday when demand and rates are often lower. Using Hello Gravel lets you compare local suppliers and get transparent pricing and delivery bundled so you can find the most cost-effective option for Port Costa.
You can place gravel over compacted fill dirt, but the fill must be properly compacted and graded first to avoid settling and washouts. In many Port Costa yards we recommend compaction, a geotextile fabric to separate materials, and a compacted base layer before installing surface gravel to ensure stability.
No. Fill dirt contains fines and clay and generally does not drain well, so it is a poor choice for creating drainage-filled holes. For drainage you should use clean drain rock or gravel and proper pipe or bedding; use fill dirt only to restore grade where drainage is not required.
Costs depend on driveway size and depth. For a 20 ft by 50 ft driveway (1,000 sq ft) with a 6-inch fill dirt base you would need about 22 to 28 tons of fill dirt; at $15 to $60 per ton that base material would cost roughly $330 to $1,680 plus delivery and gravel topcoat costs. Request a Hello Gravel quote for an accurate, site-specific estimate including truck delivery and any spreading options.
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.
