Why Cobb Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Cobb has a city population of 2,051 and sits inside a metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. The community is growing at a steady rate of 0.40% annually and enjoys a mild climate—hardiness zone 8b, with 228 sunny days annually and an annual rainfall of 34.32 inches. Those local conditions drive steady demand for reliable site work and landscaping materials: homeowners and small contractors often need material to grade yards, build up low spots, improve drainage, and prep for patios, sheds, or driveways. For local projects, quality aggregates reduce settlement, improve compaction, and help manage runoff, so Cobb homeowners look for consistent, well-sourced fill that performs under the area’s sun-and-rain balance.Popular Projects in Cobb This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Cobb Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Cobb.
Fill dirt is subsoil with low organic content used to raise grade, fill holes, and create building pads. In Cobb (population 2,051) it’s commonly used to level yards, build up areas for sheds or septic access, and correct drainage low spots. It is not intended as a finished surface or a structural driveway base without additional engineered layers.
Typical delivered ranges in the Cobb area are roughly $15 to $40 per ton, which usually converts to about $18 to $50 per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. Your actual price depends on supplier, distance from local quarries, seasonal demand, and whether you need screening or clean subsoil; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and checkout will show local pricing for your zip code.
Local suppliers that serve Cobb are generally regional quarries, landscape yards, and dirt brokers operating in West California; Hello Gravel connects you to those vetted suppliers and shows which ones are available for your zip code. Delivery minimums commonly start at 3 tons (our platform minimum) but many haulers prefer tri-axle loads (10+ tons) for efficient trips, so smaller orders may be fulfilled by suppliers with higher minimums or mixed loads.
Most deliveries to Cobb arrive by tri-axle dump truck, which typically carries about 10 to 14 tons (roughly 7 to 11 cubic yards depending on density). For large projects suppliers may use end dumps or belly dumps with 20+ ton capacity; ask at checkout about the truck type, delivery placement, and possible site access constraints.
Convert area and depth to cubic yards using: cubic yards = (square feet x inches of depth) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by an estimated tons-per-cubic-yard. For Cobb projects use a local estimate of 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard (moisture and compaction vary); for example, 1,000 sq ft raised 4 inches = about 12.35 yd3, which at 1.3 t/yd3 is roughly 16 tons. Always order a little extra (5-10%) for compaction and finish grade, and check the minimum 3-ton order rule.
Small residential deliveries for yard leveling usually do not require a permit, but larger regrades, raises, or work on slopes often trigger Lake County grading, erosion control, or building permits. Requirements vary by project size, proximity to waterways, and slope stability, so check with Lake County Planning and Public Works before major fills and consult Hello Gravel or your contractor if you’re unsure.
Fill dirt performs well as a structural subsoil in Cobb when properly placed and compacted, but local soils can include clayey or volcanic-influenced loams that affect drainage and expansion. Unlike rock-based materials, fill dirt retains more water and can settle or shift on slopes, so for driveways or septic bases you’ll often want rockier base materials beneath or engineered fill to improve drainage and stability.
Contractors in Cobb spread fill dirt in thin lifts (typically 4 to 6 inches loose) and compact each lift with plate compactors for small areas or vibratory rollers for larger jobs, aiming for industry-standard compaction levels for the intended use. They also condition moisture before compaction, use geotextile fabric on weak subgrades, and add drainage layers where needed; request compaction specs or testing if the fill supports structures or driveways.
Fill dirt is suitable for raising grade and backfill, but it is not the recommended surface or structural base for driveways and septic infiltration fields where engineered aggregates (crusher run, road base, or class II base) provide better load distribution and drainage. For erosion control, fill dirt may be used with stabilization measures (hydroseed, erosion blankets, retaining structures); consult local code for septic projects and consider a structural base under driveways.
There are no common local rebates specifically for using fill dirt, but California and Lake County regulations do control erosion, stormwater runoff, and dust during earthmoving and delivery operations. Suppliers and contractors must follow local grading and stormwater rules for larger jobs, so verify permit and erosion-control requirements with Lake County and ask your Hello Gravel supplier about their environmental compliance practices.

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.
