Why Compton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Compton, with a city population of 117,000, sits inside a growing West California metro that exceeds 2.5+ million people and is expanding at about 0.70% annually. The area's temperate climate — 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall — and hardiness zone 8b make outdoor projects practical year-round, but they also create specific material needs. Homeowners and local contractors working on yard regrading, foundation backfill, and new landscape beds need reliable, compactable material that performs consistently through sunny periods and episodic rain. Quality fill dirt helps prevent settling, supports proper grading, and provides a stable base for patios, sheds, and hardscaping; because soil behavior varies by region, locally sourced fill dirt reduces surprises on compaction and drainage outcomes.Popular Projects in Compton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Compton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Compton.
Typical delivered fill dirt prices in the Compton/Los Angeles area usually range from about $15 to $40 per ton, depending on supplier, haul distance, moisture content, and order size. Exact cost can vary day to day and by zip code, so get a quote through Hello Gravel (minimum order is 3 tons) for a firm delivered price and any local delivery fees.
A common tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which typically equals about 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and density. Prices for a single truckload vary by supplier and delivery requirements; Hello Gravel can quote full-truck pricing and will advise if neighborhood access or truck size affects cost.
For 1,000 sq ft, 3" depth is about 9.26 cubic yards and 6" is about 18.52 cubic yards. Using a typical weight range of 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, expect roughly 11–13 tons for 3" and about 22–26 tons for 6". These are estimates; use Hello Gravel’s calculator or request a site-specific quote for greater accuracy.
One ton of fill dirt covers approximately 230–270 sq ft at 1" depth, about 77–90 sq ft at 3" depth, and roughly 38–45 sq ft at 6" depth. The range reflects normal differences in material density and moisture; contact us for a precise coverage number for the product sourced to your Compton address.
No — fill dirt is subsoil with few nutrients and is intended for structural fills and grading, while topsoil is nutrient-rich and designed for planting. For grading, driveways, or raising elevation use fill dirt; if you plan to grow grass, flowers, or a garden after grading, cap the filled area with 4–6 inches (or more for gardens) of topsoil or amended soil.
Big-box stores often sell bagged soil and in some markets will deliver bulk topsoil, but bulk fill dirt is most commonly sold by local aggregate suppliers. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who typically have a 3-ton minimum online; delivery fees and minimums vary by supplier and access, so request a quote to compare options for your Compton address.
Common lower-cost alternatives in the LA/Compton area include decomposed granite (DG), recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), and compacted road base/crusher-run. Each has different drainage and compaction properties: DG is popular for paths, RCA and road base compact well for driveways; consider intended use, drainage, and local climate when choosing an alternative.
Fill dirt generally will not support healthy plant growth because it lacks organic matter and nutrients. If you plan lawns, gardens, or planting beds after grading, add 4–6 inches of topsoil or a soil mix and amend as needed for vegetables or flower beds; tree plantings usually require deeper, well-amended soil in the root zone.
Yes — Compton may require permits for large grading projects, and certain fills used for structural work may need compaction testing or engineering approval. Also check for street weight limits, on-street parking rules during delivery, HOA rules, and utility-marking requirements; contact the City of Compton Building and Safety or Hello Gravel’s team for guidance before scheduling delivery.
In the LA/Compton area fill dirt is generally cheaper: ballpark ranges are about $15–$40 per ton ($12–$30 per cubic yard) for fill dirt and about $30–$70 per ton ($25–$60 per cubic yard) for screened topsoil. Prices vary with supplier, quality, and delivery details, so request quotes to compare exact costs for your project.
Clear the drop area of cars, toys, and landscaping debris and mark any preferred offload location with flags or cones. Call 811 to have underground utilities marked, confirm truck access and turning space, and note any driveway weight limits; compact fill in layers if you will be using it for structural purposes or paving.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if it can be done safely at your address. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival; Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services, and additional fees may apply depending on supplier policies.
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.
