Why Canyon Country Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a city population of 72,569 and a metro area population exceeding 2.5+ million residents, Canyon Country is a growing community seeing steady demand for residential and infrastructure projects. At a growth rate of 0.70% annually, homeowners and contractors are frequently tackling grading, patios, retaining walls, and foundation backfills. The local climate—hardiness zone 8b with about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall—supports year-round work but also creates seasonal wet-dry cycles that can cause soils to settle or shift. That makes reliable aggregates essential: quality fill dirt helps raise grades, create level pads, and replace unstable native soils so landscape and structural projects perform better over time.Popular Projects in Canyon Country This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Canyon Country Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Canyon Country.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used for backfilling, but structural areas require proper compaction and sometimes engineered fill. For foundation or load-bearing work in Canyon Country, have a civil engineer or inspector specify compaction and lift thickness; our suppliers can deliver suitable low-organic fill dirt for those specs.
You can place pea gravel over fill dirt, but only after the fill dirt is compacted and a proper base is installed; otherwise the pea gravel will sink and migrate. In Canyon Country's dry, sometimes sandy/clayey soils, add a compacted crushed-rock base and optionally a geotextile to keep pea gravel from mixing with the fill dirt.
Sand is occasionally used as a leveling layer but it tends to shift and can allow gravel to sink if placed directly on uncompacted fill dirt. For most exterior projects in Canyon Country, a compacted fill dirt subgrade followed by 3-4 inches of compacted crushed rock is a better, longer-lasting base than sand.
A geotextile fabric (landscape fabric) or a compacted crushed-rock layer is the most effective barrier between fill dirt and gravel. Combine fabric with edge restraints to keep materials separate and reduce contamination in Canyon Country's soil conditions.
Yes — for drainage features like dry wells or French drains, dig the trench or hole, line it with geotextile, fill with clean, washed gravel, and then backfill with compacted fill dirt. Make sure the drain has slope to move water away from structures and that overflow is directed to an appropriate outlet for Canyon Country's occasional heavy rains.
For general backfill, use clean fill dirt with low organic content and good compaction properties; for structural work, engineered fill specified by an engineer is best. Suppliers in the Canyon Country area typically offer region-specific mixes that reflect local clay and sand fractions, so ask your Hello Gravel representative for the right blend.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth. Weighing varies with moisture and soil type, but plan for roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons.
Fill dirt has little to no organic matter, so it does not support plant growth or hold nutrients like topsoil does. It can also compact and settle over time, which may cause low spots or drainage changes in Canyon Country's yard if not properly installed and topped with a planting layer.
Prevent erosion and settlement by placing fill in 4-6 inch lifts and compacting each layer, grading to shed water, and using erosion controls like straw, wattles, or hydroseed on slopes. Installing retaining features, edging, or vegetation suited for Canyon Country's climate will also hold fill in place.
You can add fill dirt over existing soil, but remove large organic debris, scarify and compact the existing subgrade, and add fill in controlled lifts to minimize future settlement. For driveways, slabs, or structural pads in Canyon Country, follow engineering recommendations rather than simply dumping and grading.
To install a 6-inch compacted base over a 20 ft by 10 ft area you need about 3.7 cubic yards of material (20 x 10 x 0.5 feet = 100 cubic feet; 100/27 = 3.7). Order 10-15% extra to allow for compaction and grading, and note Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons if you want delivery to Canyon Country.
Stabilize fill dirt by compacting it in 4-6 inch lifts, adding a compacted crushed-rock base, and laying geotextile where needed; for heavy loads consider engineered stabilization (lime or cement) per an engineer's recommendation. Proper drainage and edge restraints are also key in Canyon Country to prevent lateral movement during seasonal storms.
