Why Cambria Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cambria is a coastal West California community of 5,320 residents, experiencing measured expansion with a growth rate of 0.40% annually. The town's mild Mediterranean-influenced climate—228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—supports active gardening, home additions, and landscaping projects year-round. That steady climate and modest growth drive routine site work such as grading, leveling, foundation backfill, and yard rebuilds after erosion or heavy rains. Homeowners choose quality aggregates like fill dirt to create stable subgrades, prevent settlement, and support planting beds or patios; correct fill material reduces compaction issues and erosion in Cambria's mix of coastal soils and sun-exposed slopes. Clear material specs and reliable delivery are essential when projects depend on proper compaction and drainage.Popular Projects in Cambria This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cambria Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cambria.
Fill dirt is often the most cost-effective material for bulk fill because it contains fewer fines and organics than topsoil. However, final price depends on local supply and trucking distances in the Cambria area, so delivery can be a major factor. Hello Gravel sources regionally, which can lower cost, but get a quote to compare true delivered price.
You can use fill dirt as a subfill, but it should be placed and compacted in layers before installing a crushed-rock base. For Cambria's coastal soils, we recommend at least 6-8 inches of compacted fill dirt followed by 3-4 inches of crushed stone for a driveway. Proper compaction and drainage are essential to prevent settling and rutting.
A quick rule: 1 cubic yard of fill dirt covers 324 square feet at 1 inch depth and typically weighs about 1.2 tons. Calculate cubic yards needed (area in sq ft x depth in feet / 27) and multiply by about 1.2 to convert to tons. For small projects, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or request help from our team to avoid underordering.
Delivered cost varies with supplier, distance, truck size, and material quality; expect large swings based on local availability. A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 12-16 cubic yards, and total delivered cost can range widely, so we recommend requesting a custom quote. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows transparent pricing for your zip code.
No. Two inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway because fill dirt is not a finished driving surface and can settle. For durable performance in Cambria's coastal environment, plan on several inches of compacted subfill plus a proper aggregate base and surface material. Thicker, compacted lifts reduce future settlement and drainage problems.
No. Properly compacted fill dirt becomes firm, but it will not harden like concrete or become structural. If you need a hard, load-bearing surface use engineered base materials, cement-treated base, paving, or stabilization products. For most landscaping and grading, compaction plus an aggregate surfacing is the right approach.
Common downsides include uneven settling over time, variable organic content that can cause future sinking, and poor drainage if not placed correctly. Coastal Cambria soils can also contain sand or silt and traces of salt that affect plant growth and compaction. Prevent problems by specifying clean fill, placing material in lifts, compacting, and allowing time to settle before final grading.
You may need permits for significant grading, changes to lot elevations, or work near coastal zones in Cambria, which falls under San Luis Obispo County rules. Check with the Cambria community planning or San Luis Obispo County planning department before major deliveries. Smaller landscaping loads often do not require a permit, but confirm before ordering.
Cambria's coastal geology often produces sandy, silty, or marine-derived soils that can be lighter and more prone to drainage issues than inland clay-rich fills. That means local fill dirt can vary in compaction behavior and salt content, which matters for plantings and structural fills. Ask suppliers about local material characteristics and consider soil testing for critical projects.
Yes, next-day delivery is available when orders are placed by the cutoff (before noon CST) and local suppliers have inventory and truck availability. Additional fees may apply and deliveries depend on local hauler schedules in Cambria. Use our checkout calendar to select a delivery date and request tailgate spreading if you want the driver to assess that service.
Clear the drop area of vegetation and debris, identify and mark the preferred dump zone, and verify truck access and overhead clearance for a tri-axle. Have erosion controls ready if rain is expected and ensure neighbors or easements are not affected. Call Hello Gravel before delivery so drivers have your site details and any special instructions.
Place fill in thin lifts (6-8 inches) and compact each lift thoroughly with appropriate equipment to reduce settlement on slopes. Use geotextile fabric, terraces, or retaining structures for steeper slopes and install positive drainage to avoid erosion from coastal rains. For large fills or structural work, bring in a geotechnical engineer to specify compaction testing and stabilization methods.
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.
