Why Cabazon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cabazon is a small desert community with a city population of 2,200 set within a metro area population of 4.7+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.50% annually and a climate that averages 320 sunny days per year and only 5.00 inches of annual rainfall (hardiness zone 9b), local homeowners face unique site-preparation needs. Dry conditions and intense sun accelerate surface erosion and can leave loose, granular soils that settle over time. That combination drives demand for dependable aggregates that provide volume, support, and predictable compaction — especially for yard re-grade, raised planting beds, driveway base work, and small foundation fills. Homeowners choose quality fill materials to avoid repeated rework, reduce future settling, and create stable bases for pavers, sheds, and landscaping features.Popular Projects in Cabazon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cabazon Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cabazon.
Delivery costs in Cabazon vary based on distance from the supplier, truck access, and order size. Many orders qualify for free delivery, but more remote drop locations or tight access can add a distance or fuel fee (typical range $0 to $150). Next-day delivery, if available, usually carries an extra fee, and any requested tailgate spreading is at the driver’s discretion and may affect pricing.
You can order fill dirt through Hello Gravel’s online marketplace, which connects you to local Riverside County suppliers and haulers that deliver to Cabazon. Local landscape suppliers and aggregate yards in nearby towns like Banning or Palm Springs also serve the area, but Hello Gravel makes it easy to compare pricing and schedule delivery to your zip code.
Calculate area in square feet, multiply by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For weight estimates use about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard (we recommend 1.3 tons/yd3 for planning). Example: a 50 ft by 30 ft yard raised 4 inches (0.333 ft) is 50x30x0.333/27 ≈ 18.5 yd3, which is roughly 24 tons using 1.3 tons/yd3.
Fill dirt is a good choice for building up grades, structural backfill, and smoothing low spots, but it is not ideal as the primary drainage layer. For improved drainage on desert sites, pair fill dirt with clean drain rock or perforated drain lines where water must move quickly. Use fill dirt for mass and grade, and gravel or rock for conveying water away from foundations and low spots.
Cabazon’s dry climate promotes rapid drying and shrinkage of loose fill dirt, which can lead to settling and surface cracking if not properly compacted. Proper compaction in lifts, moisture conditioning during placement, and allowing for settlement in your plan will reduce future dips. Also watch for rare heavy rains that can cause gullying if slopes are not protected with vegetation or erosion control.
Permitting depends on the scope of work. Small landscaping fills usually do not require a permit, but significant grading, changes to drainage, or structural backfill for foundations and retaining walls often require permits and inspections from Riverside County. Check with Riverside County Building and Safety or the local planning office before starting large excavation or fill projects.
Fill dirt is intended for raising grade and structural fill, not as a wearing surface for driveways or paths. Decomposed granite or crusher run are much better choices for driveways and walkways because they compact to a firm surface and shed water. If you must raise the driveway subgrade, use compacted fill dirt beneath a layer of crusher run or DG as the finished surface.
Yes, experienced local contractors can compact fill dirt properly, but compaction needs depend on the job: engineered fills for foundations typically require testing and compaction in 6- to 8-inch lifts with a compaction roller or plate. For critical structural work, ask for compaction specs and verification testing (like Proctor or density tests) and confirm the contractor has the right equipment.
Hello Gravel’s standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Minimum orders generally start at 3 tons, and deliveries are made by tri-axle dump trucks, so plan for truck size and access when ordering to Cabazon properties.
Expect some settling after installation and plan to top up low spots or regrade as needed in the first 6 to 12 months. Maintain surface drainage, add erosion control or vegetation on slopes to prevent washouts during heavy rains, and avoid using loose fill dirt as an exposed driving surface—install a compacted aggregate wearing layer on driveways for long-term durability.
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.
