Why Corona Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Corona, with a city population of 223,655 and as part of a metro area of 2.4+ million, is seeing steady growth driven by a 2.50% annual growth rate. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year, average annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round outdoor projects but creates specific site-preparation needs. Homeowners and contractors are building new patios, raised beds, retaining walls, and additions, and those projects often require stable, low-organic fill to create proper subgrades and control drainage. As development continues, Corona residents increasingly look for reliable bulk materials that compact well, reduce settlement risk, and work with local grading and drainage plans.Popular Projects in Corona This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Corona Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Corona.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Corona commonly range from about $15 to $40 per ton, depending on availability, haul distance, and moisture content. Factors that raise cost include longer truck travel, small order sizes, heavier moisture, and any needed screening or clean fill specifications.
Many local landscape yards and excavation contractors deliver small loads, but minimums vary; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can connect you to local suppliers that sometimes accept 3 to 5 ton deliveries. Smaller drops (1 to 2 cubic yards) are possible from some independent haulers but often include extra delivery fees, so check your zip code and supplier notes.
For hot, dry Southern California and clay-prone sites in Corona, a well-graded, sandy-loam or select granular fill is usually best because it drains more readily and reduces expansion issues. Avoid using heavy native clay as structural fill; for planting beds use topsoil instead and for structural fills consult a geotechnical engineer to specify compaction and mix.
To estimate, use cubic yards = area (ft2) x depth (ft) / 27. For 6 inches (0.5 ft) this becomes area/54. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to 1.4 to convert to tons (example: 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches ≈ 18.5 cubic yards ≈ 22 to 26 tons). Always round up for compaction and waste and confirm with your supplier.
Small landscaping fills are often allowed without a permit, but any grading that changes drainage, exceeds local volume thresholds, or alters slope may require a grading permit from the City of Corona. Check with the Corona Building Division or Planning Department before large fills, and verify erosion-control requirements and any protected-area restrictions.
Installation and compaction costs vary widely based on access, depth, and equipment but commonly run from about $200 to $1,200 for small residential jobs; contractors may charge $50 to $150 per hour for a machine and operator. Some contractors price by square foot (about $0.50 to $2.00 per sq ft depending on depth); always get written quotes that specify if compaction and hauling are included.
Plain fill dirt is not an ideal long-term driveway base because it can rut and hold water; with proper mechanical compaction and a durable surfacing layer (crushed rock or asphalt) it can perform acceptably for years. Regular maintenance includes regrading low spots, topping with aggregate as needed, and ensuring positive drainage to prevent saturation.
Fill dirt is mainly for raising grade and filling voids and tends to be finer and less stable under traffic. Crusher run and road base are engineered aggregates with angular particles that interlock and compact tightly, making them the preferred base material for driveways in Corona's climate and soils. Use fill dirt only for non-traffic fills or behind properly prepared base layers.
Unmodified fill dirt alone is usually not sufficient for slope stabilization or erosion control; successful slope work typically uses engineered fill, compaction, drainage improvements, geotextiles, and vegetation. For any slope work in Corona, especially near steeper terrain or post-fire areas, consult a geotechnical engineer or qualified contractor to design the right combination of materials and measures.
It depends: many contractors include basic compaction for grading work but not for material-only deliveries. When ordering through Hello Gravel, deliveries are material only by default, so confirm with your contractor whether compaction, testing, and permits are included in their quote before work begins.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
