Why Temecula Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Temecula's city population of 120,041 is driving steady residential growth in an area tied to a Riverside-San Bernardino metro area of 2.3+ million and expanding at 3.20% annually. With 228 sunny days per year, moderate annual rainfall of 33.00 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b, local yards and building sites demand materials that stand up to strong sun, occasional heavy storms, and seasonal runoff. Homeowners and contractors here are frequently reshaping lots, adding driveways, and regrading landscapes — all projects that call for reliable base material. That growing construction and landscaping activity makes quality aggregates like fill dirt essential for stable grading, firm foundations for sheds and patios, and effective drainage solutions around homes. Fill dirt in Temecula should compact well, resist excessive erosion during the region’s 33.00 inches of annual rain, and pair with surface drainage to handle runoff from 228 sunny days of seasonal growth. Locally sourced fill dirt often reflects regional soils, so choosing the right mix—coarser for drainage, finer for compaction—matters for long-term stability. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets, offers clear pricing and scheduled delivery (minimum orders start at 3 tons, standard delivery in 2+ business days), and helps you get the right fill dirt for pads, backfill, and regrading without the usual procurement hassle.Popular Projects in Temecula This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Temecula Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Temecula.
Fill dirt is typically native or quarried soil used to raise grade or fill low spots; it is not a surfacing material. In Temecula you would use fill dirt to build up yards, level slopes, or backfill foundations before adding a finished surface like gravel, concrete, or pavers.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and quality, but expect a rough range of about $10 to $30 per ton, or roughly $8 to $20 per cubic yard delivered in the Temecula area. For an exact delivered price and minimums, use Hello Gravel to get local supplier quotes for your zip code.
Hello Gravel connects you with local Riverside County suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers that service Temecula. Typical deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks, require a minimum order (3 tons), and are scheduled for standard delivery in 2+ business days; next-day delivery is sometimes available for an extra fee if ordered before noon CST.
Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For a 1,000 sq ft area, 4" is about 12.3 yd3 (≈16 tons), 6" is about 18.5 yd3 (≈24 tons), and 12" is about 36.7 yd3 (≈48 tons) using a common conversion of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard. Always add 5-10% for compaction and waste and get a site-specific check if the soil will be heavily compacted.
For structural bases, fill dirt is a good subgrade but not a finished surface. Driveways usually require crusher-run or a compactable base over the fill for load-bearing and drainage; patios need compacted fill topped with sand or decomposed granite and pavers; septic pads typically need engineered, well-compacted fill and may have specific material specs; for erosion control on slopes combine fill with terracing, geotextile, and drainage rock. In Temecula's hot, dry climate, proper compaction and drainage are especially important to prevent settling and washouts during seasonal storms.
Larger grading, changes to lot grade, or projects that import significant material can require permits, grading plans, and possibly a soil report. Rules vary by project size and location, so contact the City of Temecula Planning Department and Riverside County Building & Safety early; for major moves many contractors start the permitting conversation once volumes exceed a few dozen cubic yards.
Installed costs depend on site access, depth, equipment, and compaction requirements; a rough local range is about $0.50 to $3.00 per square foot for spreading and compaction or roughly $20 to $60 per ton installed when you include labor and machine time. For accurate pricing, get written quotes from local contractors because tight access, retaining walls, or engineered compaction will raise costs.
In Temecula's hot, dry summers and occasional heavy winter storms, properly compacted fill will hold up well but may settle or produce dust if left uncovered. Expect to regrade or top-dress low spots after heavy rain events and protect exposed fill with vegetation, mulch, rock, or pavement to reduce erosion and dust.
Use fill dirt to build or correct grade and provide a subbase; for driveways choose crusher run (graded crushed rock with fines) because it compacts tightly and sheds water. Decomposed granite is popular for walkways and patios for an attractive, permeable surface, but it does not perform as a structural base on its own and should be installed over compacted fill or base material.
Bench the slope (build level steps), compact each lift, install geotextile fabric where recommended, and add drainage features like swales or rock-lined channels. For moderate to steep slopes use retaining structures, rock rip-rap, or erosion-control blankets and plant drought-tolerant groundcover to stabilize soil during Temecula's seasonal rains.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, standard delivery usually takes 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by distance, site access, and load size; many local deliveries are free or low-cost, and same-week delivery is often possible depending on supplier inventory and truck availability.
Clear the drop area of cars, trailers, low-hanging branches, and obstructing items, and mark the preferred dump location. Confirm gate codes or access instructions in your order notes, check for utility lines or permits if dumping on or near a public right-of-way, and expect the driver to assess whether tailgate spreading is safe; Hello Gravel recommends noting any special access needs at checkout.
Fill dirt is sourced regionally, so color, texture, and composition vary with local geology and supplier stock. In Temecula expect local variations in clay, sand, and rock content; include color or material notes at checkout if appearance matters, and contact customer service if the delivered product does not meet your expectations.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
