Why Canyon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Canyon is a small but steadily growing community with a city population of 242 set inside a larger metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate in USDA Hardiness Zone 8b, homeowners here see steady outdoor activity: the area averages 225 sunny days per year and receives an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches. These conditions drive steady demand for earthmoving and grading work — from raised garden beds and driveway leveling to foundation backfill — and make reliable, locally sourced aggregates important. Homeowners looking for Fill Dirt want material that compacts well, resists excessive washout during the rainy season, and integrates smoothly with native soils, so they can finish projects that stand up to Canyon's sun and periodic rain.Popular Projects in Canyon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Canyon Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Canyon.
Delivery cost depends on the supplier distance, truck access, and order size. Many Canyon deliveries are free or low-cost for nearby loads, but typical fees for longer hauls or small orders can run from about $25 to $150; check your zip code for an exact quote. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show delivery fees during checkout where available.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving Canyon, CA; suppliers vary by neighborhood and geology. Our platform and most local providers typically have a minimum order of 3 tons, while some haulers prefer 5 to 10 cubic yards for residential drop-offs because of truck routing and site access.
Prices vary by source, screening, moisture content, and hauling distance. In West California, expect a rough retail range of about $10 to $40 per ton (or roughly $12 to $50 per cubic yard) for typical bulk fill dirt; final price is shown in checkout based on your address and supplier.
For driveways use compactable, low-organic fill (sometimes called structural or clean fill) that compacts well and has limited mulch or roots. For erosion-prone slopes choose coarser, well-graded fill or a mix of fill and small rock plus proper drainage and vegetation; pure topsoil is not recommended where structure or erosion control is required.
Yes, but placement and finishing matter: dry summers increase dust and shrinkage, while winter rains can cause erosion if the fill is loose. Proper compaction, grading to shed water, and quick erosion control (mulch, seed, or erosion blankets) will help the fill perform through seasonal cycles in Canyon, CA.
For structural work a contractor will commonly aim for 90% or higher of the standard Proctor density, while non-engineered driveway subgrades are often compacted to 85% to 95%. A well-compacted and drained subbase can perform for many years; longevity depends on traffic, drainage, and whether a stable base material (rock) is used under the driving surface. For load-bearing or engineered work, consult a local engineer to specify compaction tests and targets.
Crushed rock or gravel is generally better where drainage and structural support are needed because it resists settling and allows water to pass. Fill dirt is appropriate for bulk raising of grades and non-draining fills; a common approach is crushed rock directly around foundations and under driveways with fill dirt placed above or behind it as needed.
First calculate cubic yards: area in square feet multiplied by depth in feet, divided by 27 (area x depth / 27 = cubic yards). Then convert to tons using a working density: 1 cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on moisture and composition. Example: 1,000 ft2 at 6 inches deep = 18.5 yd3, which is approximately 22 to 30 tons; Hello Gravel’s calculator can estimate this for your address.
Local rules vary; Canyon’s small streets and rural roads can have weight or time-of-day restrictions, and some cities or counties require permits for overweight or continuous commercial deliveries. Always check with Canyon city or Contra Costa County public works and your HOA if applicable before scheduling large deliveries, and tell Hello Gravel about narrow streets or overhead obstructions so we can coordinate the right truck size.
Costs depend on site access, grading, compaction, and the amount of material; contractors typically charge for both material and labor. As a rough guide, supply-and-install jobs in the region can range widely (tens to a few hundred dollars per cubic yard) based on difficulty; get multiple local quotes and include factors like hauling, spreading, compaction, and any hauling off of excess material.
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.
