Why Coyote Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Coyote is a small but growing community of 184 residents within the broader West California metro area of 2.3+ million people. With a steady annual growth rate of 2.80%, a moderate climate that averages 228 sunny days per year, and 34.25 inches of rain annually, local homeowners are taking on more yard and property projects—everything from regrading and raised beds to small retaining walls and driveway builds. Those projects need stable, affordable base material that compacts well and plays nicely with existing soil. Fill dirt is a practical choice for raising grade, backfilling foundations, and correcting low spots because it provides mass and stability without the cost of structural engineered fill. In Coyote’s climate and hardiness zone 8b, properly selected fill dirt helps manage drainage and reduces future settling when placed in layers and compacted. Given the area’s 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, choosing clean, non-organic fill dirt and finishing with a top layer of topsoil or gravel supports long-term performance. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to local suppliers who understand West California soils, coordinates delivery by professional dump truck fleets, and offers online material calculators and guidance so you get the right quantity and the right type of fill dirt for your project.Popular Projects in Coyote This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Coyote Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Coyote.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers nationwide; check your zip code at checkout to confirm service to Coyote, CA (pop. 184). Delivery and material costs depend on supplier, distance, and quantity; a typical tri-axle dump load in West California (about 8-12 cubic yards) commonly ranges from a few hundred to several hundred dollars. We require a 3-ton minimum, standard delivery is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Calculate volume by multiplying the area (square feet) by the depth (feet): volume = area x depth, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 1 inch requires about 3.1 cubic yards; filling a 50 sq ft rut 6 inches deep needs roughly 0.9 cubic yards. Always order 10-15% extra to allow for settlement and spreading, and consider compaction needs for accuracy.
Most suppliers deliver loose, uncompacted fill dirt; compaction is usually not included as part of standard delivery. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading, grading, and compaction are generally separate services you should arrange with a contractor or request in advance. If you need compacted fill for a driveway base, ask your Hello Gravel rep to note it and get quotes for compaction from local partners.
You can put gravel over fill dirt only if the fill is well-graded and thoroughly compacted; otherwise the gravel will shift and rut. For driveways and high-traffic areas we recommend a compacted structural base (crushed rock or recycled base) and, in many cases, a geotextile fabric to separate the fill from the gravel and improve drainage. For light landscaping paths, a compacted fill with a thin gravel topping may be acceptable, but always plan for compaction and drainage.
Fill dirt is intended to raise grade and fill voids, not to support plant growth; it typically lacks organic matter and nutrients needed for lawns and gardens. For seeding or planting in Coyote, CA you should add a layer of topsoil (usually 4-6 inches for lawns) or mix in compost and soil amendments. If you must use fill, plan to cap it with topsoil before planting and consider a soil test to guide amendments.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and repair ruts, but it must be placed in layers and properly compacted to form a stable base. For a long-lasting gravel driveway you should place a compacted granular base (crushed rock) on top of or instead of fine fill dirt to improve drainage and load-bearing capacity. Discuss your project with your Hello Gravel rep and consider hiring compaction equipment or a contractor for best results.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days after order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; final timing depends on supplier schedules and truck routing. Typical truck sizes include tri-axles (about 8-12 cubic yards) and smaller 6-8 cubic yard dump trucks; the exact truck used depends on road access and your site. Remote deliveries may incur additional fuel, mileage, or gate fees; Hello Gravel shows the final price and any extra charges at checkout.
Some local haulers and contractors offer tailgate spreading, grading, and compaction, but these services are not guaranteed with standard delivery and are performed at the driver's discretion. You can request spreading at checkout and note any access or safety restrictions, and Hello Gravel can help flag your order for additional services when available. For reliable grading and compaction, most homeowners in Coyote hire a local contractor with plate tampers or rollers.
Yes. Large fill projects, changes to drainage, or work near creeks and wetlands in Santa Clara County may require permits, grading plans, or environmental review. Before ordering substantial volumes, contact Santa Clara County Planning, Public Works, or your local fire and building departments to confirm permit requirements and setback or erosion-control rules. For small homeowner jobs (minor yard leveling), permits may not be required, but it is wise to check to avoid fines or rework.
Hello Gravel accepts major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through a secure online checkout, and our platform typically enforces a 3-ton minimum order. Specific satisfaction and refund terms depend on the supplier and are covered in the order and refund policy; if you have an issue, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly and we will work to resolve it. For large or special orders, ask for order confirmation details and delivery notes to reduce surprises.
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.
