Fill dirt can be used as general backfill, but behind most retaining walls you should include drain rock or drainpipe to relieve hydrostatic pressure and prevent failure. Hello Gravel can deliver both fill dirt and drain-grade rock to Dublin, but drivers may only perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and we do not guarantee placement or compaction; for engineered walls follow your contractor or engineer specs.

For a driveway, compacted fill dirt can be used to build or raise the subgrade, but the wearing surface should be crushed gravel or crushed rock for durability and drainage. Fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard but is not a durable driving surface; plan for a compacted aggregate base (4 to 6 inches) with an appropriate top layer for longevity in Bay Area weather. Hello Gravel can deliver both materials, and we recommend hiring a contractor for grading and compaction.

You can add fill dirt over existing soil for small grade changes, but you should remove vegetation, roots, and organics and compact in lifts to avoid future settling. Hello Gravel will deliver to your address and drivers may tailgate spread at their discretion, but we do not perform excavation, guaranteed spreading, or compaction as part of standard delivery. For larger projects, hire a local contractor to prepare the site and compact the fill properly.

Fill dirt is not suitable for drainage features; it tends to retain water and can clog drain pipes. For French drains or trench drains, order washed drain-grade gravel or 3/4-inch clean rock; Hello Gravel can deliver the correct drain material to Dublin so you get proper flow and long-term performance.

Calculate volume first: width (ft) x depth (ft) x length (ft) = cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; multiply that number by your quoted per-cubic-yard price for the delivered cost. Example: a 10 ft long trench 2 ft wide and 3 ft deep is 60 cu ft or about 2.22 cubic yards. For small fills check the 3-ton minimum and get a delivered quote in the checkout or by contacting our team.

Two inches of gravel is not enough for a residential driveway; a typical build-up is 4 to 6 inches of compacted base rock plus a 1 to 2 inch wearing layer depending on traffic. Hello Gravel can deliver the specific crushed rock or gravel you need to Dublin, but installation, compaction, and grading are usually handled by your contractor—drivers may spread at their discretion but spreading is not guaranteed.

Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks that typically carry roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards depending on local weight limits, though exact capacity varies by supplier. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; minimum order is 3 tons. To order, check your zip code on our site, select material and quantity, choose a delivery date in the checkout calendar, or call/text our team for help and a custom quote.
