Why Byron Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Byron is a small but growing community with a city population of 1,050 located in the West California region. The area is part of a larger metro with a metro area population of 2.5+ million and is expanding steadily with a growth rate of 0.80% annually. Byron's climate — 228/year sunny days and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches in hardiness zone 8b — supports active landscaping, infill building, and yard upgrades. That steady growth plus the local climate drives demand for reliable aggregates among homeowners who need materials for grading, drainage fixes, raised beds, and foundation backfill. Homeowners look for consistent, low-organic fill that compacts well to avoid settlement and to create proper slopes for stormwater runoff in this sunny, moderately wet environment. Fill Dirt is a practical choice in Byron because it provides bulk, low-organic material for backfilling, raising grades, and creating stable base layers where native soils are too loose or rich in organic matter. With 34.25 inches of annual rainfall and frequent sun, properly placed fill helps manage runoff and reduces erosion when compacted and graded to direct water away from structures. Hello Gravel connects Byron homeowners with local suppliers and hauling partners so you can order Fill Dirt online, schedule delivery on a preferred date, and get materials sourced regionally to match local geology. Our platform helps you estimate quantities, pick delivery windows (standard 2+ business days or next-day options), and receive professional dump-truck delivery so your project stays on schedule.Popular Projects in Byron This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Byron Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Byron.
Fill dirt is native soil with low organic material used to raise grades, fill holes, and provide non-structural backing under foundations or slabs. In Byron, fill dirt is commonly used to level yards, raise driveways above seasonal puddling, and bring grade up for landscaping or utility trenches. It is not a finished surface, so you will typically cover it with topsoil, gravel, or paving.
Byron and the surrounding West California area have clay and silty soils and seasonal winter rains that increase erosion and settling risk. Because of that, contractors recommend denser fill and good drainage measures (like slopes or French drains) and compaction in lifts to reduce settlement. Regional sourcing means material texture and moisture content will vary, so expect local differences.
Delivered prices in Byron commonly range from about $20 to $50 per cubic yard, which is roughly $15 to $35 per ton depending on moisture and compaction. Final price depends on haul distance, quantity ordered, site access, and whether spreading or compaction is requested. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows local pricing and delivery options during checkout.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For loose fill dirt, plan on roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, but local soil and moisture can change that; order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a quick estimate based on your specific site.
Fill dirt is useful for raising grade and eliminating low spots under driveways and patios, but it is not an ideal finished base for traffic surfaces. For driveways and patios, contractors typically place compacted fill for grade then install a structural base such as class II road base or crusher run before surface gravel or paving. This layered approach improves drainage and longevity in Byron's seasonal rains.
Fill should be placed in lifts (typically 4-8 inches) and compacted with a plate compactor or roller between lifts to minimize future settling. Hello Gravel drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but compaction is usually done by a contractor with the right equipment. Schedule compaction while the soil is workable and avoid placing fill during heavy rains.
Some projects that change grade, affect drainage, or involve large-scale grading may require permits or approvals from Contra Costa County or the Byron community services. Simple leveling or small yard fills usually do not need permits, but always check with the local building or planning department before major grading, septic work, or drainage changes. If your project affects neighboring drainage, getting approval and following county rules is important.
For structural bases and driveways, consider class II road base, crusher run, or compacted decomposed granite which provide better load-bearing and drainage. Topsoil or screened finish soil is better for planting areas because fill dirt is low in organic matter. Many projects use a combination: compacted fill dirt to bring grade up, then a structural base product for driving surfaces, and topsoil for planting beds.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt can perform for many years, but unsettlings can appear if compaction or drainage are inadequate. Expect to monitor low spots after the first rainy season and add minor fill or regrade as needed; stabilized surfaces like paved driveways require less maintenance. Use erosion control, vegetation, or rock swales on slopes to reduce washout during winter storms.
Provide clear delivery instructions, safe vehicle access, and a drop location free of low-hanging wires or obstacles; trucks used by Hello Gravel are typically tri-axle dump trucks. Schedule delivery for a dry day when possible, request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired, and note that drivers decide if spreading is safe. Check Hello Gravel's delivery window (standard 2+ business days, next-day option subject to cutoff and fees) and confirm minimum order size.
