Why Camino Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Camino is a growing community with a city population of 4,400 and sits inside a metro area with a population of 2.3+ million. Local development is accelerating at an annual growth rate of 3.20% annually, which increases demand for basic construction and landscaping materials. Camino’s climate — 227 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of rainfall annually, and location in hardiness zone 8b — supports a long building season but also creates specific needs for grading, drainage, and soil stability. Homeowners and small contractors here often need dependable aggregates to raise low areas, backfill foundations, prepare building pads, and fix erosion-prone slopes. Reliable quantities and consistent material quality matter in Camino because regional soils and seasonal rain can cause settling, washouts, or uneven compaction if the wrong soil is used.Popular Projects in Camino This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Camino Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Camino.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than decorative gravel because it is unprocessed and used for building up grade. However, fill dirt is not a good surface material for driveways — you will still need a layer of crushed rock or gravel on top for durability and drainage, which adds cost.
Fill dirt is fine-grained soil used to raise elevations and backfill trenches; it compacts and holds shape but drains poorly. Gravel is coarse and drains well, so it is preferred where water movement, stability for surfaces, or a finished driveway surface is needed.
Fill dirt can be used for general backfill, but building codes or engineers often require granular backfill (gravel) around foundations, retaining walls, and some utility trenches for drainage and compaction behavior. For structural or drainage-critical work in Camino's variable foothill soils, check local code or your engineer before substituting fill dirt.
Volumes: 3" depth = about 9.3 cubic yards, 6" = 18.5 cubic yards, 12" = 37 cubic yards. A typical tri-axle dump truck used by Hello Gravel carries roughly 10–14 cubic yards, so 3" is about 1 truck, 6" about 2 trucks, and 12" about 3–4 trucks depending on compaction. Remember to add 10–20% extra for compaction settlement, and note Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option for qualifying orders.
If you are using fill dirt only to raise or level a 20 ft wide driveway base, costs depend on depth, local material rates, and access. As a planning ballpark, budget for the dirt itself, delivery, and a separate compaction contractor: expect to pay for material (rough planning range $10–$30 per cubic yard delivered in many areas), plus labor for compaction and any finish gravel. For an accurate quote for Camino, use Hello Gravel's checkout or contact our team with your zip code and project details.
You can add fill dirt directly over existing dirt for small grade adjustments, but you should remove organic topsoil, roots, and vegetation first to prevent future settlement. For larger raises or where load-bearing or drainage matters, excavation, proper layering, and compaction are recommended to avoid long-term settling.
Yes, proper compaction is important for fill dirt to avoid settlement, especially under driveways, pads, or near foundations. Hello Gravel drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee compaction services; hire a local contractor or rent compaction equipment to achieve required compaction levels.
No, fill dirt is generally not suitable for French drains or drainage pits because it drains poorly compared with gravel or crushed rock. Camino's foothill soils can include clay and fine material that retain water, so use clean, washed gravel and proper filter fabric for reliable drainage performance.
Camino has narrow, hilly, and sometimes steep local roads; some private, gated, or residential streets may have access restrictions or turnaround limits that affect dump trucks. Hello Gravel will review access and may require special instructions, smaller trucks, or permits for deliveries; tell us about driveways, gates, or short bridges when ordering and check with local county authorities or your HOA if you expect permit needs.
Hello Gravel standard delivery is 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST subject to availability and an extra fee. The minimum order is 3 tons, and delivery timing depends on supplier availability, road access, and weather in the Camino area.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
