Frequently Asked Questions - City of Industry Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in City of Industry.
Prices for fill dirt vary by supplier, moisture content, and delivery distance. In the Los Angeles area, a typical delivered range is roughly $15 to $35 per ton, but Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and exact pricing is available in your checkout quote for City of Industry. Request a quote to see current local rates and any delivery fees.
It can be safe to build on fill dirt if the material is placed and compacted to local code and a geotechnical engineer has approved the fill for your project. For anything beyond shallow landscaping, City of Industry projects usually require compaction testing and engineering sign-off to avoid future settling or structural problems. Contact the local building department and consider a geotech report for foundations, retaining walls, or structures.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft stack (27 cubic feet). It will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth or about 54 sq ft at 6 inches. In City of Industry, 1 cubic yard of typical loose fill dirt weighs roughly 2,200 to 2,700 lb (about 1.1 to 1.35 tons) depending on moisture and composition.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used in Hello Gravel deliveries holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which translates to roughly 11 to 14 tons depending on moisture. Spread thinly at 1 inch that load covers about 3,240 to 3,888 sq ft; at 6 inches it covers about 540 to 648 sq ft. Exact coverage varies with compaction and how evenly the driver can place material on arrival.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it contains little to no organic matter and is used for grading and structural fill rather than growing plants. Topsoil is screened and enriched for landscaping and commands a higher price. If you only need to raise grade or fill holes, choose fill dirt; use topsoil for planting areas.
Use fill dirt to build up grades, fill low spots, create bases for driveways or slabs, and for utility backfill. Use topsoil where you plan to grow grass, gardens, or plantings because it contains organic matter that supports plant life. In City of Industry projects you’ll often use both: fill dirt for bulk grading and a thin topsoil layer for landscaping.
Settlement depends on fill depth, soil type, moisture, and compaction method. If properly compacted in lifts by a contractor, visible settlement should be minimal; loose or uncompacted fill can settle for months to years and may require additional filler. For projects needing a stable base, compact in layers and allow time or testing by a geotechnical engineer before final construction.
A typical wheelbarrow holds about 4 to 6 cubic feet. That means 1 cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 4 to 7 full wheelbarrows depending on your wheelbarrow size and how full you load it. For planning, use 5 wheelbarrows as a practical estimate.
Yes, buying fill dirt in bulk is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than buying bagged material. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and delivered bulk orders reduce labor and bag disposal costs—especially useful in City of Industry where larger grading jobs are common. Get a bulk quote to compare unit prices versus local bagged options.
No—fill dirt is not a suitable substitute for aggregate in concrete and will not harden like concrete. If you need a hard, load-bearing surface, use properly designed concrete, asphalt, or a compacted aggregate base specified for that use. For driveways and pads, contractors typically place a compacted crushed rock base before paving or pouring concrete.
Permit and testing requirements depend on the scope of work. Small landscaping fills often need no permit, but any structural grading, site changes affecting drainage, foundations, or retaining walls commonly require permits and compaction testing from the City of Industry building department. Check with the local building office and your engineer before placing large or structural fills.
Order online by entering your zip code to check availability and add Fill Dirt to your cart; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST; deliveries are made by contracted dump truck haulers and may include optional tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion. Add delivery notes for placement and contact our team if you have tight access, permit requirements, or special timing needs.
Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color can vary from photos. If the fill dirt differs from what you expected, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos and delivery details so we can work with the supplier to resolve the issue. For major concerns, review our refund and resolution process or keep samples for inspection.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt can be a reliable base indefinitely, provided drainage is managed and loads are appropriate. Problems arise when fill is loose, placed over soft soils, or exposed to erosion; those situations can lead to long-term settlement or instability. For critical or load-bearing work in City of Industry, follow compaction specs and consider a geotechnical review to ensure durability.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
