Why Badger Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Badger, West California is a very small community with a city population of 165 and a growth rate of 0.00% annually. Its moderate climate—about 228 sunny days per year and roughly 34.25 inches of rain—along with USDA hardiness zone 8b create predictable conditions for home projects. Even with a small population, homeowners and local contractors need reliable bulk materials for grading driveways, leveling lots, raising planting beds, and backfilling utility trenches. Because local soils vary and the region sees both long sunny stretches and periodic heavy rain, quality, compactable aggregates are essential to prevent settling and erosion. That is why homeowners look for clean, screened Fill Dirt that matches local geology and performs well under Badger's climate, reducing rework and protecting landscaping investments.Popular Projects in Badger This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Badger Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Badger.
Expect a broad delivered price range for fill dirt in rural Northern California like Badger: roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard depending on distance, truck type, and supplier. Because Badger is remote and has limited local suppliers, jobs farther from supplier yards tend toward the higher end. Use our Get a Quote tool or check your zip code to see live pricing for your delivery date.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, and standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for an extra fee if ordered before noon CST. Remote access, narrow mountain roads, or weight-restricted bridges near Badger may add an extra delivery fee or require smaller trucks; we’ll surface those charges during checkout. The driver will confirm access on arrival and may refuse unsafe drops.
Butte County may require proof that imported material is clean fill and free of contaminants, especially for projects tied to building permits or environmental restrictions. Requirements vary by project and jurisdiction, so check with the Butte County Building or Environmental Health Department before ordering. Suppliers can often provide origin information and lab testing on request, but you should request documentation early to meet permitting timelines.
Plain fill dirt is typically erosive on slopes, especially with winter rains in the Badger area; it can wash out until vegetation establishes. Use erosion-control measures such as straw wattles, hydromulch, erosion-control blankets or jute matting, and fast-establishing seed mixes to stabilize soil after placement. Combining geotextile fabric and proper compaction on terraces helps reduce erosion risk on steeper slopes.
Use fill dirt to raise grade, build berms, or fill large voids where structural drainage is not required. For driveways and areas that need load-bearing or drainage, choose gravel or crusher-run because they compact well and shed water. For backfill around foundations and utilities, use sand or engineered backfill where the code requires good compaction and drainage; fill dirt is okay for non-structural landscaping fill.
Most suppliers deliver loose fill dirt; on-site compaction is typically the customer or contractor’s responsibility because compaction needs depend on use. Structural projects often call for compaction to about 90% Standard Proctor or per engineer specs, and you can rent plate compactors, rammers, or small rollers from local rental shops. You can ask your Hello Gravel order notes about compacting equipment recommendations and request referrals for local compaction contractors.
To calculate cubic yards: area (sq ft) x depth (inches) / 324. So 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches = 1,000 x 6 / 324 = about 18.5 cubic yards, so order about 19 cubic yards to allow for settling and spreading. Multiply that by your local delivered price (for example, at $20 to $35 per cubic yard you would budget roughly $380 to $665 before any remote delivery fees).
Sand or engineered granular backfill is preferred where drainage, compaction control, or utility bedding is required because it compacts evenly and drains better than native fill dirt. For pipe bedding, trenches, and foundation perimeter drains, use clean sand, pea gravel, or specified engineered fill per code. For large non-structural fills or general grading, fill dirt is usually acceptable and more economical.
Many suppliers can provide a statement of origin or lab testing if requested, but availability varies by vendor and the level of testing required. If your permit requires certified clean fill, request documentation before purchase and allow extra time for sampling and lab turnaround. Hello Gravel can request certificates from our local suppliers on your behalf during the ordering process.
Common add-ons include weed-free topsoil for final planting, gravel or crusher-run for driveways, geotextile fabric for separation and stabilization, and erosion-control products like straw, hydromulch, or erosion blankets. Topsoil and certified clean fill tend to cost more per yard than generic fill dirt, while erosion-control products are priced by roll or acre and vary by season. Use our material calculator to bundle items and see combined pricing and delivery options.
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.
