Why Antelope Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Antelope has a city population of 44,150 and sits inside a growing metro region of 2.5+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually, local construction and landscaping demand is driven by new homes, yard renovations, and infrastructure updates. Antelope's climate—hardiness zone 8b with about 230 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.50 inches—favors outdoor projects but also creates distinct soil-management needs. Homeowners increasingly look for dependable aggregates to support grading, driveways, raised beds, and foundation backfill; choosing the right material up front reduces settling, erosion, and rework as properties mature in this sunny, moderately wet environment. Fill dirt is essentially clean, compactable subsoil used to raise grade, backfill foundations, and build terraces. In Antelope, where sun and periodic rainfall affect compaction and drainage, contractors and DIYers prefer low-organic, well-graded fill dirt that compacts reliably and resists excessive settling after wet periods. Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and haulers who source region-appropriate fill dirt, provide clear pricing, and arrange delivery (we require 2 business days for delivery; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee). Request tailgate spreading at checkout; drivers may perform it at their discretion.Popular Projects in Antelope This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Antelope Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Antelope.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery costs in Antelope vary by supplier distance and site access; many local orders have low or no delivery fees, while long hauls or tricky drop locations can add $50 to $200. Request a quote at checkout to see exact pricing for your address.
Hello Gravel connects you with local, vetted suppliers and contracted dump-truck fleets that serve Antelope and surrounding Sacramento County. Popular local sources include regional aggregate yards and landscape material yards in north Sacramento and Placer County; our checkout will show nearby suppliers and delivery options for your zip code. For contractor deliveries, select commercial/curbside delivery during checkout and note any jobsite access details.
For driveway bases and utility trenches in Antelope's Mediterranean climate, use clean, compactable fill with minimal organic material and a mix of fines and coarse particles so it compacts well. For driveway structural layers, we recommend combining properly compacted fill dirt with a 3/4" minus crusher run or road base layer on top; for utility trenches, place fill in 4-6 inch lifts and compact each lift to avoid future settlement. If you need engineered fill for load-bearing work, ask for a supplier who provides tested or spec'd material.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of material (1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cu ft; 500/27 = 18.5 cu yd). Fill dirt densities vary with moisture and composition, but a practical conversion is roughly 1.0 to 1.2 tons per cubic yard, so expect about 18 to 22 tons for that job. Local haulers usually price and load by cubic yards and convert to tons using their local material density; ask your Hello Gravel quote for the exact tons used for delivery pricing.
Permits and requirements depend on the scope of work: small grading and typical backyard fill usually do not need a permit, but significant grade changes, fill over sensitive areas, or large volumes may trigger Sacramento County grading or building permits. If your project changes drainage, alters slopes, affects foundations, or exceeds county thresholds, plan to check with Sacramento County Planning and Development or a local building official before importing large amounts. For regulated sites or potential contamination concerns, the county may require testing or a certified clean-fill statement.
Fill dirt can contribute to erosion if placed on slopes without proper drainage and protection because fine soils can wash out during heavy winter rains common in Antelope. Use erosion-control measures such as compacted benches, geotextile fabric, swales, planted groundcover, riprap at concentrated flows, and retaining walls where needed to stabilize fill on slopes. For areas with runoff concerns, consider adding a permeable gravel layer or engineered drainage behind fills to reduce saturation and movement.
Contractors typically place fill dirt in 4-6 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor for small jobs or a vibratory roller for larger areas to achieve proper density. For clay-heavy soils or larger projects they may use sheepsfoot rollers, moisture conditioning, and field density testing (Proctor tests or nuclear gauge) to meet compaction specs. Homeowners can rent a heavy plate compactor for DIY work but should compact in thin lifts and moisten the soil as advised to avoid future settling.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than crusher run or road base but is not an ideal structural base for driveways because it can settle and retain water. Crusher run or road base costs more up front but compacts tightly, sheds water better, and gives a longer-lasting subbase that reduces maintenance. For driveways in Antelope we recommend a compacted road base layer (often 4-8 inches) with appropriate top materials rather than relying on fill dirt alone for strength and drainage.
Common concerns in deliveries include organic debris, construction rubble, weed roots, and occasionally contaminated fill from demolition sites; these can cause settlement, odor, or regulatory issues. Many reputable suppliers can provide a clean-fill statement or limited testing results on request, and for sensitive projects you can request lab testing or certified clean fill documentation. If contamination is suspected, stop work and contact Hello Gravel or local environmental authorities before spreading the material.
Costs vary by supplier and site conditions, but as a ballpark estimate in Antelope expect material for fill dirt to run roughly $20 to $60 per cubic yard, so 10 yards could be $200 to $600, with delivery often included or an extra $0 to $150 depending on access. Labor to spread and compact 10 yards typically ranges from $300 to $900 for a small crew or contractor, making a total rough range of $500 to $1,650 for materials, delivery, and basic labor. For an exact price, request a Hello Gravel quote with site access notes and any spreading or compaction services you need.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
