Why Bassett Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Bassett is a growing urban center with a city population of 1.6+ million and a metro area population of 2.5+ million, expanding at a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually. Its climate sits in hardiness zone 8b with about 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, creating a favorable environment for outdoor projects but also a need for thoughtful site preparation. That steady population and stable weather patterns mean ongoing construction, landscaping, and grading work across residential neighborhoods. Homeowners in Bassett often look for reliable, locally sourced aggregates to handle yard leveling, backfill for foundations, driveway bases, and drainage solutions — all reasons quality fill dirt is in demand for both small DIY jobs and larger renovation projects.Popular Projects in Bassett This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Bassett Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Bassett.
Prices vary by volume, supplier availability, and delivery logistics in the Bassett area. Key cost drivers include the number of tons ordered (minimum 3 tons via Hello Gravel), distance from the local quarry or source, truck access and load/unload complexity, material type (clean screened fill vs mixed fill), and seasonal demand. Contamination, special hauling permits, or tailgate spreading requests can add fees. For a spot quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team.
For driveways in Bassett's Mediterranean climate, a well-graded, compactable fill often topped with a road base or crusher-run provides the best support and drainage. For general yard grading, screened fill dirt or compacted native-like fill is usually sufficient. Avoid using loose, organic-rich topsoil as fill under driveways; consider engineered fill for any load-bearing areas or where local code requires it.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards. A practical weight estimate is roughly 1.2 tons per cubic yard for typical fill dirt, so that example equals about 22 tons; order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and settlement and remember Hello Gravel minimums apply.
Generic fill dirt can be used as non-structural backfill, but for retaining walls and foundations you usually need engineered fill with specified compaction and drainage. Bassett projects often require geotechnical recommendations and compaction testing to meet Los Angeles County standards. Ask your engineer or the county inspector before using plain fill dirt in structural areas.
Plain fill dirt by itself is not a long-term erosion control solution on steep slopes because it can wash out during winter rains. For slope stabilization in Bassett, use a combination of compacted engineered fill, drainage provisions, erosion-control blankets, and vegetation or hydroseeding. Terracing and retaining features also help reduce erosion risk in local hillside conditions.
When properly placed, compacted, and covered with the proper base material, fill dirt under driveways or patios can last for decades without needing replenishment. The main issues are settlement and poor drainage; wetter winters in the Los Angeles County area can increase settling if material was not compacted or if organic matter was used. For long-term performance, use engineered compaction and appropriate base materials, and inspect after heavy storms.
Recycled fill (such as crushed concrete fines) can be cost-effective and well-compacted, but quality and consistency vary by supplier. Virgin or quarried fill tends to be more consistent and predictable, which is important for structural uses. For landscaping where contamination is not a concern, recycled material may be fine; for driveways, foundations, or code-regulated work, choose tested, clean fill and ask suppliers for material specs.
Engineered fill is the better choice for new home construction because it is placed, compacted, and tested to meet a geotechnical report and building code requirements. Fill dirt can be suitable for non-structural grading but usually does not meet the compaction and documentation standards required for foundations and load-bearing areas. Always follow the project geotechnical report and Los Angeles County Building and Safety requirements.
Fill dirt can be used as backfill around pools and septic systems in non-structural, non-drainage-sensitive areas, but many local codes require free-draining material and specific compaction procedures for these installations. Septic systems in Los Angeles County have health department and permit rules including percolation tests and approved backfill materials; pool backfill often needs controlled compaction to avoid settlement. Check with the county building or health department and your installer before placing fill dirt.
For small landscaping fills you usually do not need a permit, but any grading, structural fill, or fills that alter drainage or exceed local thresholds will typically require permits and compaction testing from Los Angeles County. Large deliveries or work that changes elevations, affects public right-of-way, or needs engineered fill should be reviewed with the county building department and a geotechnical engineer. When in doubt, contact the county or consult Hello Gravel's team for guidance before ordering.

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.
