Why Banning Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Banning is a city of 29,890 residents in West California within a metro area of 2.7+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.20% annually, more homeowners are tackling additions, regrades, and landscape improvements that require reliable bulk materials. Banning’s climate — 228 sunny days per year, annual rainfall of 34.32 inches, and hardiness zone 8b — supports outdoor projects year-round but also means soils can compact differently after rains and heat. That combination of steady development and variable moisture makes quality Fill Dirt a common need: homeowners want clean, low-organic fill to raise low spots, backfill foundations, build level pads, and prepare sites for driveways or hardscaping without long-term settling or poor drainage.Popular Projects in Banning This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Banning Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Banning.
In Banning, CA expect delivered fill dirt to range roughly from $10 to $30 per cubic yard depending on quality, distance, and whether the dirt is screened or contains organics. A common tri-axle load (about 10 to 14 cubic yards) will therefore cost roughly $100 to $420 for the material alone; add any delivery fee and hauling surcharges. Prices vary by supplier and site access, so get a quote for an accurate number.
Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many local suppliers offer free delivery within a local radius, but in Banning delivery fees commonly run from $0 to about $150 depending on distance, access, and the truck type. Be sure to note driveway access, gates, or tight streets when ordering, as these can add fees or affect which truck can deliver.
To level 1,000 sq ft you need about 6.2 cubic yards at 2" depth, 12.3 cubic yards at 4" depth, and 18.5 cubic yards at 6" depth. These are loose volumes; if you plan to compact the fill, order 5-10% more to account for settlement. Always round up and check site conditions for uneven spots that may need extra material.
For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway that needs about 2.5 cubic yards for a 4" base, fill dirt material alone would likely be $25 to $75 at typical local rates. If you need to raise or restructure the driveway more deeply, expect several additional cubic yards and higher costs. Installation costs (grading, compaction, a gravel wearing surface) are separate—labor, compaction, and base rock can add several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on scope, so get a combined materials-plus-install quote.
Fill dirt is generally the least expensive material per cubic yard in Banning because it is unamended and used for bulk grading. Gravel (crushed rock) usually costs more because of processing and rock type, and screened topsoil often costs as much or more than gravel due to screening and organic content. Typical local ranges: fill dirt $10-$30/yd3, topsoil $25-$60/yd3, and gravel $30-$70/yd3, but regional sourcing and delivery distance change those numbers.
Use fill dirt to raise grade, fill low spots, and provide structural backfill where planting is not needed. Use topsoil when you plan to grow grass, shrubs, or garden beds since topsoil supports plant growth. Use gravel for driveways, drainage swales, and areas needing permeability; in Banning’s semi-arid climate consider combining fill dirt for grade and a gravel surface for driveways or drainage features.
Many projects that alter grade or drainage can trigger permitting with the City of Banning or Riverside County, especially for larger fills, changes to stormwater flow, or work near creeks and rights-of-way. Small, routine landscaping fills are less likely to need a permit, but requirements depend on project size and location. Check with Banning Community Development or Riverside County Building and Safety before major grading to avoid fines and ensure proper drainage.
For structural needs ask for clean, compactable fill (often called structural or engineered fill) with minimal organics and debris so it compacts well. For drainage pits or French drains, request clean drain rock or 3/4" crushed rock rather than fill dirt. For simple yard build-up a general fill with some sand content is acceptable, but tell suppliers how you plan to use it so they can recommend the right material.
Yes—place a layer of good topsoil over compacted fill dirt before planting. For turf in Banning, plan on 4" to 6" of quality topsoil; for shrubs and flower beds, 6" to 12" is better. If your fill dirt is high in clay or very sandy, blend in compost or quality loam to improve water retention and fertility for plants.
Common local dump trucks include tri-axle trucks that carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards, tandem axles around 6 to 12 cubic yards, and smaller single-axle or pup trucks that carry 3 to 6 cubic yards. Suppliers in the Banning area commonly price by the cubic yard, but many customers also see per-load pricing or minimums that effectively set a per-load price; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so expect minimum-size deliveries unless you arrange otherwise. Always ask whether quoted prices include delivery, dumping in one spot, or any site fees.
Provide a clear delivery address, gate or access notes, desired delivery date, and an accurate estimate of needed volume (use our calculator or the cubic-yard guidance above). Ask whether the quote includes delivery, dumping placement, and any potential access fees, and check local permitting needs before ordering. If you are unsure about material grade, request a supplier recommendation and state the intended use so we can connect you with the right product and truck.
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.
