Why American Canyon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
American Canyon is a city of 20,990 residents in West California and part of a metro area of 2.5+ million. The area is growing at 0.70% annually and sits in a temperate hardiness zone 8b with 235 sunny days per year and 34.50 inches of annual rainfall. That mix of sun and seasonal rain drives steady demand for reliable earthwork and site-prep materials—grading, raising low spots, and creating level bases for patios, sheds, and garden beds. Homeowners here often need material that compacts well, resists washout during heavy rain, and supports proper drainage. Because regional soils vary across the metro, many homeowners prefer buying vetted fill dirt from local suppliers to ensure consistent compaction, predictable settlement, and long-term performance for landscaping and foundation prep.Popular Projects in American Canyon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - American Canyon Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in American Canyon.
Prices vary by supplier and exact material, but expect fill dirt in the American Canyon area to commonly range from about $10 to $40 per cubic yard before delivery. Costs depend on local availability, type (clean fill vs. mixed fill), and haul distance; Hello Gravel’s checkout will show final pricing and any delivery fee for your zip code.
You can put gravel over fill dirt, but it usually requires proper preparation: remove organic topsoil, add and compact fill dirt in lifts, then install a compacted rock base and geotextile fabric where needed. Without compaction and separation, gravel will sink into loose fill dirt over time, especially in American Canyon’s winter rains.
For a typical gravel driveway, contractors often place 4 to 8 inches of compacted structural fill over the subgrade, then add 3 to 4 inches of compacted base rock before the gravel surface. Depths vary with soil conditions; because American Canyon can have clayey or low-bearing soils near the bay, you may need thicker, better-compacted fill to prevent settlement.
Adding sand can improve drainage and reduce shrink-swell if your native soil is heavy clay, but sand alone doesn’t guarantee stability. For structural fills it’s usually better to use a specified engineered fill or compacted crushed rock; discuss soil tests or contractor recommendations for American Canyon projects with significant loads.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used in Hello Gravel’s network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose material. Cost for a single truckload of fill dirt in the American Canyon area varies widely with distance and material, commonly ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars; get an exact quote at checkout for your address.
No — fill dirt is not suitable for planting because it’s low in organic matter and nutrients. Use fill dirt for grading and structural fill, then add a 4 to 6 inch layer of topsoil or compost where you plan to grow plants in American Canyon’s climate.
A 50 lb bag is roughly 0.9 cubic feet of material, which spreads to about 10 to 12 square feet at a 1-inch depth. Because fill dirt is typically used in larger lifts and compacted, bags are only practical for small spot fills or potted plants — order bulk for yard-scale grading.
Yes, using geotextile fabric or a proper base layer helps separate fine fill dirt from gravel, prevents migration, and improves drainage. In American Canyon where wet winters can worsen mixing, a fabric plus a compacted rock base will extend the life of your gravel surface.
Always compact fill dirt in 6- to 8-inch lifts rather than placing it all at once. Layered compaction reduces settlement risk and is especially important in American Canyon because local soils and seasonal moisture can cause uneven settling if fill is loose.
Yes — adding or regrading with fill dirt can change surface and subsurface drainage patterns. Plan finished grades to direct water away from structures, and consider drainage features (French drains, swales) if your property is near low-lying or clayey areas common around the Napa-Sonoma lowlands.
To create a firm gravel surface over fill dirt, use a compacted base of crushed rock or crusher fines, install geotextile fabric, compact each layer thoroughly, and consider a surface of angular crushed stone rather than loose round gravel. For high-traffic areas in American Canyon, contractors sometimes add mechanical compaction and select denser base materials or stabilizers for longer-lasting results.

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.
