Why Annapolis Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Annapolis is a compact but steadily developing community with a city population 230 and connections to a broader metro of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, homeowners and contractors are updating yards, driveways, and small foundations to keep pace with local demand. The local climate—228/year sunny days, hardiness zone 8b, and 34.32 inches of annual rainfall—creates conditions that alternate between dry spells and seasonal runoff, so projects need materials that perform in both. That combination drives the need for reliable aggregates: quality fill dirt helps establish proper grades, build stable pads, and reduce future settling so landscaping and structures last longer.Popular Projects in Annapolis This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Annapolis Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Annapolis.
Delivered prices for fill dirt in the Annapolis/West California area vary with haul distance, screening, and moisture content. Expect a rough range of about $12 to $35 per ton delivered, though local suppliers and job access can move that number. For an exact price, get a quote through Hello Gravel for your zip code and preferred delivery date.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers in the Annapolis area so you can compare quotes from nearby sources. Suppliers typically offer screened or unscreened fill dirt, bulk truck (tri-axle) delivery, and minimum orders around 3 tons; ask about larger bulk discounts for truckload or multiple-truck orders. Use our material calculator and request delivery dates during checkout to see available options.
Fill dirt can be used to raise grades and fill holes, but it does not improve poor native drainage on its own and may compact differently against coastal clay soils. In Annapolis's coastal environment, consider using engineered fill or mixing in granular material and installing proper drainage to avoid water pooling and slow infiltration. If drainage is a concern, discuss site-specific recommendations with a local contractor or Hello Gravel for appropriate material choices.
Proper compaction usually requires placing fill in 4- to 8-inch lifts and compacting each layer with a plate compactor or roller to reach required density. Local equipment rental shops in West California typically rent plate compactors ($40-$100/day) and small rollers ($150-$400/day), while contractors can handle placement and compaction for larger jobs. Ask Hello Gravel for local contractor referrals and always confirm compaction specs with your building department if the fill is for a foundation or permitted structure.
Hello Gravel commonly delivers fill dirt in tri-axle dump trucks, which carry several cubic yards per load; smaller local trucks may also be available. Standard lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply), and a typical minimum order is 3 tons. Delivery crews will assess tailgate spreading requests at arrival but cannot guarantee spreading service.
Fill dirt is primarily inert soil used to raise grade or fill voids and is not designed as a structural surface; it may settle and retain moisture. Road base is a crushed, compactable aggregate engineered to provide a stable, load-bearing layer for driveways and pads, while decomposed granite offers a compacted, stabilized surface with good drainage for walkways and some driveways. For driveways in Annapolis's coastal climate, use fill dirt only as subgrade material and follow with road base or compacted decomposed granite for long-term performance.
Measure the area (length x width) and desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by a weight factor to convert to tons; a common rule of thumb is about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt, depending on moisture and compaction. Example: a 20 ft x 10 ft area at 1 ft deep = 200 cu ft / 27 = 7.4 cu yd, which is roughly 8 to 10 tons of fill dirt.
Fill dirt used as subgrade can perform for many years if properly placed, compacted, and covered with a structural layer (road base, concrete, pavers). Expect some initial settlement within the first year; plan to monitor for low spots, erosion, or ponding and top up settled areas as needed. Good drainage and vegetation control reduce maintenance needs, especially in coastal California where seasonal rains can concentrate runoff.
Permitting depends on the scope of work: small landscape fills often need no permit, but significant grading, large volume fills, or changes to drainage typically require permits from the local city or county building and planning departments. Annapolis is a small city, but it falls under county and possibly coastal zone regulations for larger projects, so check with the county building department before starting major fills. If you are unsure, we recommend contacting Hello Gravel or local permitting offices for guidance before ordering large amounts.
Screened fill dirt has large debris, rocks, and root material removed, giving a cleaner, more uniform product that is easier to compact and grade for finishing work. Choose screened fill for finish grades under lawns, patios, or when you need better compaction and fewer voids; unscreened fill is typically less expensive and suitable for rough fills or bulk elevation changes. Note that screened material may cost more and availability can vary locally, so request screened fill in your Hello Gravel quote if you need a cleaner product.
Prepare a clear access path and a stable drop location for the truck, and mark any underground utilities before delivery; inform your Hello Gravel order notes of tight access or obstacles. Expect the driver to place material in one spot unless tailgate spreading is requested and feasible, and keep in mind spreading is at the driver's discretion for safety reasons. If you need assistance with spreading, compaction, or final grading, schedule equipment rental or a local contractor in advance.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
