Fill Dirt in Florin, CA

Prices vary by supplier, material type, and delivery distance, but in the California Region delivered fill-dirt typically runs roughly $20 to $60 per cubic yard. That means a typical 10–12 cubic yard tri-axle truckload will often cost in the low hundreds to several hundred dollars, plus any local delivery fees or extras. For an exact delivered price to your Florin address, check our checkout by zip code or contact Hello Gravel for a firm quote.

Hello Gravel usually delivers on tri-axle dump trucks which commonly carry about 10–12 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt. Fill-dirt weighs roughly 1.1 to 1.35 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and composition, so a 10–12 yd3 load is about 11 to 16 tons. Coverage for one 10–12 yd3 load is approximately 810–972 sq ft at 4u0022, 540–648 sq ft at 6u0022, and 270–324 sq ft at 12u0022 depth.

For bulk raising and general leveling, basic fill-dirt is usually the cheaper option because it is sold in larger volumes and has lower material cost. For driveway bases and areas needing drainage or load-bearing capacity, crushed gravel or base rock is recommended—fill-dirt can be used as subgrade backfill but gravel or class II base is better on top for driveways. For backfilling around foundations or utilities, use clean fill or engineered backfill specified by your contractor or local code.

You can use gravel or crushed rock as a driveway base instead of fill-dirt because it provides better drainage and load distribution, but it costs more per yard than plain fill-dirt. Most aggregate suppliers and delivery drivers do not perform mechanical compaction as a standard service; compacting is usually done by landscaping or paving contractors using plate compactors or rollers. If you need compaction, request it from a local contractor or ask our team for recommendations in the Florin area.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, which is roughly 2–3 cubic yards depending on the material. Many customers in Florin get free standard delivery, but fees can apply for longer haul distances, tight access, or special services; standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; check availability for your zip code at checkout.

The least expensive direct option is often customer pickup if you have a truck and can load and haul material yourself, but that requires time, equipment, and possibly rental costs. Recycled or screened fill-dirt (from construction sites) can be cheaper than new screened fill, but quality and contaminants vary so inspect material before buying. For most homeowners, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel balances cost and convenience since we handle sourcing and trucking and can show upfront pricing for your address.

Permit and deposit requirements vary by location; Florin is in unincorporated Sacramento County so rules on street blocking, deposits for curb/driveway damage, and parking restrictions may apply. Some residential streets have weight limits or narrow access that require alternate drop-off locations or permit coordination. Before delivery, check with Sacramento County Public Works and your homeowners association if applicable, and tell Hello Gravel about any driveway restrictions or street parking so we can communicate with the driver.

Yes. Suppliers commonly offer mixed or 'bank run' fill that includes soil and small rocks, screened or clean fill that has organics and large debris removed, and engineered fills specified for compaction and load-bearing. Screened or blended (clean/engineered) fill costs more because of processing and testing. For structural backfill or near foundations, spend a bit more on screened or engineered fill to meet code and compaction needs.

Many local suppliers and the Hello Gravel network do offer lower unit pricing for large-volume orders or repeat business, especially for multiple truckloads delivered to the same address. Volume discounts depend on material type, distance, and scheduling; contact our sales team with project details for a tailored quote. If you expect ongoing deliveries, ask about contract pricing or seasonal availability to secure better rates.
