Frequently Asked Questions - Corte Madera Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Corte Madera.
Fill dirt is subsoil clean of roots and organic matter used to raise grade, fill holes, and correct slopes. In Corte Madera it is commonly used for yard grade changes, behind retaining walls, and under patios where planting soil or structural base is not required. Avoid using raw fill dirt as the final surface for lawns or planting without adding topsoil. For access or load-bearing surfaces, consider engineered or structural materials instead.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and moisture, but Bay Area delivered fill dirt commonly falls in a broad range — expect estimates rather than fixed quotes; contact Hello Gravel for an exact price and delivery quote for your zip code. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is generally 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for qualifying orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Local fees, site access, and tailgate spreading requests can affect total cost.
For Corte Madera choose screened, clean fill dirt low in organics and debris so it won’t compress or rot over time. In marine-influenced areas prefer a slightly sandier mix or an engineered fill that improves drainage and reduces moisture retention; avoid high-clay material near the coast. If the project is structural or next to sensitive wetlands, ask for lab-tested or engineered fill to meet local building requirements.
Calculate volume in cubic yards: area (sq ft) × depth (ft) ÷ 27. Convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by an estimated weight of 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard (varies with moisture and compaction). Example: raising 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches (0.25 ft) needs about 9.3 cu yd, or roughly 11–14 tons. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for a project-specific estimate.
You may need permits for grading, site alteration, or work near creeks and wetlands — check with the Town of Corte Madera Building and Public Works departments and Marin County environmental agencies for permit requirements. Local streets may have truck route restrictions, weight limits, or time-of-day rules; some neighborhoods limit heavy truck access. Tell Hello Gravel about site constraints and we’ll coordinate with suppliers and haulers to identify potential permit or routing issues before delivery.
Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and haulers across Marin County and will connect you with vendors that commonly stock screened fill dirt. Availability varies by day and region, so check your zip code on our site or contact our team to see current supplier options and pricing for Corte Madera. For larger or specialty orders, ask for lead time and material photos in the order notes.
Build in controlled lifts (generally 4–6 inches) and compact each lift with a plate compactor or vibratory roller until stable; this reduces settlement on Corte Madera’s clay-prone soils. Install positive surface drainage (minimum 2% slope away from structures) and consider a free-draining base or perforated drain pipes behind retaining walls. Use geotextile fabric on very soft soils to separate fill from native clay and reduce mixing; when in doubt, consult a local civil engineer for steep or structural sites.
Fill dirt is not ideal as a long-term driveway surface because it compacts and holds moisture, which can lead to rutting and erosion in Corte Madera’s wet seasons. Crushed rock or engineered structural fill with a compacted base and a wearing surface (crushed stone, asphalt, pavers) is a better long-term choice for driveways and vehicle loads. Use fill dirt for grade adjustments and bring in structural materials where strength and drainage matter.
Local contractors typically place fill in 4–6 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor for small jobs or a vibratory roller for larger areas. For engineered or structural fills contractors aim for 90–95% of the Standard Proctor density (per project specifications) and may provide compaction testing reports. Ask your contractor for lift thickness, compaction target, and whether they will perform density tests if the fill supports structures or paved surfaces.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
