Why Ben Lomond Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ben Lomond has a city population of 5,330 and sits within a West California metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.80% annually, local homeowners and small contractors are seeing steady demand for grading, drainage, and foundation work. The climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—creates conditions where yards, driveways, and garden terraces need materials that compact reliably and manage runoff. That’s why quality fill dirt is essential: it builds stable subgrades, raises low spots, and provides a consistent base for patios, sheds, and retaining walls so projects stay durable and require less rework over time. Fill dirt for Ben Lomond should be chosen with the local environment in mind: mixes that compact well and shed excess water help prevent erosion on sloped lots, while denser fills are useful for structural backfill. Given the area’s 34.25 inches of annual rainfall and frequent sunny periods, proper layering and compaction reduce settling and long-term maintenance. Hello Gravel connects you to vetted local suppliers who source regionally appropriate fill dirt, offers transparent pricing, and schedules dump-truck delivery with a minimum order of 3 tons. Request delivery dates at checkout and add site notes—drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—so you get the right material delivered when you need it.Popular Projects in Ben Lomond This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ben Lomond Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ben Lomond.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than clean gravel because it contains fines and native soil rather than quarried stone. Local prices in Ben Lomond vary with supplier, truck distance, and availability, so Hello Gravel can provide a firm quote for your zip code and project size.
Fill dirt is mostly soil with fines and few or no large stones, used to raise grades or fill holes. Gravel is quarried rock with larger particles that drain well and support weight; use fill dirt for bulk elevation and gravel for drainage and surfaces.
You can use compacted fill dirt to build up the subgrade, but it is not a good wearing surface and may retain moisture depending on local soils. For a durable driveway, plan on a compacted fill subgrade topped with several inches of crushed stone or gravel to provide drainage and load-bearing capacity.
Yes, fill dirt is usually less expensive than crushed stone or pea gravel because it is less processed. However, crushed stone or pea gravel often performs better for drainage and traffic, so cheaper material may cost more long term if it does not meet the application.
Costs depend on supplier, truck size, and haul distance; in Ben Lomond you should expect price quotes that factor in a minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and local delivery fees. Contact Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price and we will match you with local haulers and supplies for a firm estimate.
To calculate volume, multiply area by depth. For 1,000 sq ft: 2 inches deep = about 6.2 cubic yards, 4 inches = about 12.3 cubic yards, and 6 inches = about 18.5 cubic yards. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel to convert to tons for delivery.
Multiply area (400 sq ft) by depth. For example: 2 inches deep needs about 2.5 cubic yards, 4 inches needs about 5.1 cubic yards, and 6 inches needs about 7.7 cubic yards. Round up and order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading losses.
Yes, gravel can be placed over compacted fill dirt, but the fill should be free of organic material and well compacted first. In Ben Lomond's hill and coastal conditions, adding a geotextile and a compacted base of crushed stone will give better drainage and longevity than placing gravel directly over loose fill.
Fill dirt typically contains fines and does not drain as well as gravel or crushed stone, so it is not recommended where drainage is needed. For drainage trenches, French drains, or areas with high water flow in Ben Lomond's rainy season, use clean gravel or crushed rock instead of fill dirt.
Two inches of fill dirt can work for minor leveling but will compact and settle, so it is usually only sufficient for small touch-ups. For new lawns, planting beds, or projects that require stability, plan on 4 to 6 inches of engineered fill or topsoil as appropriate for the use.
One cubic yard covers approximately 100 sq ft at 3 inches depth, 50 sq ft at 6 inches, and 25 sq ft at 12 inches. Fill dirt weight varies, but a rough rule is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard; Hello Gravel can convert your needs to tons for delivery pricing.
A 50 lb bag is only a small volume and is not practical for large fill projects; you would need hundreds of bags to equal a single cubic yard. For most Ben Lomond projects, bulk delivery by the yard or ton is far more cost-effective and efficient than bagged material.
Avoid using fill dirt where drainage is required, for planting beds that need quality topsoil, or on slopes without proper compaction and erosion control. Also do not use fill dirt containing organics under structures or driveways—use engineered fill or compacted aggregate instead.
No. Fill dirt contains fine particles that retain water and can slow drainage, while crushed stone has open voids that let water pass quickly. In Ben Lomond's climate and hilly terrain, choose crushed stone for drainage and fill dirt only for bulk grading where holding water is not a concern.
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.
