Why Shasta Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shasta is a compact community (city population: 1,044) situated inside a larger regional market (metro area population: 2.5+ million). The area reports a steady growth rate: 0.70% annually, with a temperate climate that includes sunny days: 232/year and annual rainfall: 34.40 inches, and sits in hardiness zone: 8b. Those conditions support year-round outdoor projects but also create specific site-prep needs: homeowners in Shasta often tackle grading, drainage fixes, raised garden beds, and small foundation backfills to manage runoff and create usable yards. That demand makes consistent, compactable materials important—homeowners and contractors look for fill dirt that reduces settling, improves load-bearing, and resists erosion when exposed to local weather patterns.Popular Projects in Shasta This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shasta Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Shasta.
Fill dirt is soil used to raise or level ground; it typically has low organic content and may include fine particles, some sand, and occasional small rock. Gravel is crushed stone or rock used for drainage and structural bases. In Shasta, local fill dirt often reflects regional geology, so expect variations in texture and rock content compared with gravel used for driveways or drainage.
Generally, fill dirt is less expensive per ton than crushed gravel because it is less processed. Final price in Shasta depends on local supply, haul distance, and truckload size. For an exact price, request a quote from Hello Gravel since regional sourcing and delivery affect cost.
Fill dirt can be used as backfill if it is clean, free of organic material, and properly compacted in lifts. For foundations or retaining walls, local building codes or an engineer may require engineered or compactible backfill and testing. Contact Hello Gravel to ask about structural fill options and talk to your inspector before using standard fill dirt for critical structural backfill.
Fill dirt can level or raise a driveway base but it does not provide a stable, well-draining surface on its own. For a durable driveway in Shasta's variable weather, top the compacted fill dirt with a gravel base (crushed stone) to improve drainage and load-bearing. Contractors often import fill dirt to build grades, then install gravel or crushed rock for the driving surface.
Use the formula: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards. For example, a 10x10 area (100 sq ft) at 4 inches (0.333 ft) depth needs about 1.23 cubic yards (roughly 1.5 tons depending on soil). Hello Gravel's online material calculator can convert your dimensions to tons and cubic yards for local Shasta material.
One cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 81 sq ft at 4 inches deep and about 108 sq ft at 3 inches deep. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards, so it will cover approximately 810 to 972 sq ft at 4 inches. Exact coverage varies with the fill dirt's compaction and moisture content common in Shasta soils.
Prices vary by supplier, load size, and delivery distance. Local loads in the Shasta area commonly range from a few hundred dollars for small loads to higher for larger or long-haul deliveries. For a firm price, get a quote through Hello Gravel since we handle local supplier pricing and delivery fees.
Yes for simple leveling or filling low spots, but expect settlement unless you compact the material in lifts. For structural uses or where drainage matters (slopes, patios), it is better to remove unsuitable soil or use engineered fill and proper compaction. If you want help planning, Hello Gravel can suggest quantities and material types for your Shasta project.
Fill dirt typically has poorer drainage than gravel because it contains more fine particles and silt. For drainage trenches, french drains, or around foundations in Shasta's wet seasons, use clean gravel or crushed rock with perforated pipe. Use fill dirt for grade control and topsoil infill, not as a primary drainage layer.
The best fill dirt for backfill is clean, well-graded soil with minimal organics and low shrink-swell potential. In Shasta, ask suppliers for 'structural' or 'clean fill' options and specify if you need fewer rocks or better compaction qualities. If your project is near structures or slopes, consult your engineer or local building department for required specs.
Filling a hole with fill dirt usually does not improve drainage; it can make wet spots worse because fine soils hold water. For wet areas in Shasta, replace the hole with free-draining material like crushed rock or install a proper drainage solution. If you need advice for a drainage fix, Hello Gravel can help you choose the right aggregate.
Yes, locally sourced fill dirt can include small to medium rock, roots, and variable textures because of regional geology. If you need cleaner material (fewer rocks or less clay), request that option in the Order Notes or ask our team for structural clean fill. We recommend inspecting a sample or discussing material specs with Hello Gravel before ordering.

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.
