Fill Dirt in Haight-Ashbury, CA

Yes, fill-dirt is generally less expensive than finished gravel because it is less processed and often sourced from excavation material. In Haight-Ashbury, Bay Area hauling and disposal costs can reduce the price gap, so check a local quote to see current differences for your zip code.

Costs vary with supplier, site access, and truck size, but a delivered tri-axle load in the Haight-Ashbury area commonly ranges from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars. Get an exact price through our checkout by entering your address and project details, since narrow streets, permits, or tight access can add fees.

Hello Gravel generally uses tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 8 to 12 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 10 to 14 tons of loose fill-dirt depending on moisture and soil type. Keep in mind our minimum order is 3 tons, and exact tonnage can vary by truck and local load limits.

Multiply the area by the depth to get volume: for example, 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches deep is 1,000 x 0.25 ft = 250 cubic feet, or about 9.3 cubic yards (250/27). Because fill-dirt compacts, add 10-20% extra for settling; at 1.2 tons per cubic yard that 3u0022 cover would be about 11 to 13 tons delivered.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, which you can picture as a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube. Depending on clay, sand content, and moisture, a cubic yard of loose fill-dirt typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.5 tons.

No, fill-dirt is not a substitute for a structural base. 'Poor man's concrete' usually refers to compacted crushed rock and sand which drains and compacts predictably; fill-dirt can settle unevenly and hold moisture, so use engineered base materials for patios, driveways, and slabs in Haight-Ashbury.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and you can request it at checkout, but it is not guaranteed. In tight Haight-Ashbury streets or on sloped sites the driver may decline for safety or access reasons.

Yes. Haight-Ashbury has narrow streets, restricted parking, and steep sections that can limit truck access. Mark your drop zone, clear parked cars, check whether a commercial parking permit or street closure is needed, and tell us about tight turns or low overhead before delivery to avoid delays or extra charges.
