Why Dixon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dixon is a growing community with a city population of 21,860 and a metro area population of 2.6+ million. The region is expanding at a growth rate of 0.70% annually. In Dixon's climate (hardiness zone 8b) homeowners enjoy 205 sunny days per year and receive about 33.00 inches of rain annually, conditions that support year-round outdoor work and steady demand for residential and infrastructure projects. That steady development means homeowners and contractors frequently need reliable aggregates for grading, backfill, and site preparation. Quality materials matter here because properly selected fill dirt helps control drainage, reduce settling, and create stable bases for patios, driveways, and foundations in local soils.Popular Projects in Dixon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dixon Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Dixon.
Delivered fill dirt in Dixon commonly ranges from about $15 to $40 per cubic yard (rough estimate) or roughly $12 to $35 per ton depending on source, haul distance, and quality. One cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly 1.0 to 1.2 tons, but density varies by moisture and composition, so ask your supplier for the exact conversion. Prices in West California can be higher than inland areas due to local demand and trucking costs, so get a local quote before you order.
For driveways, avoid using loose topsoil fill dirt as a finished layer; use structural fill or engineered fill topped with crushed rock or base rock for drainage and compaction. For general backfill around foundations or to raise yard grade, a clean, well-graded fill dirt with minimal organic material is appropriate. Always tell suppliers the intended use so they can match the fill to your project and local soils in Dixon.
Measure the length, width, and average depth of the area in feet and multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.0 to 1.2 to estimate tons (density varies), and add 10% to 20% for compaction and settling. If you want help, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or send your dimensions to our team for a quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers that service Dixon. Minimum orders typically start at 3 tons, deliveries are made by tri-axle dump trucks, and standard delivery takes 2+ business days with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Add delivery instructions and preferred placement in the Order Notes, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired; drivers will perform spreading at their discretion.
Permits may be required if your project involves substantial grading, changes to drainage, or moving large volumes of dirt. Dixon is in Solano County, so check the City of Dixon Planning/Building Department and Solano County regulations before ordering; small yard fills are usually fine but thresholds vary. When in doubt, contact local building officials or Hello Gravel for guidance prior to delivery.
Proper compaction depends on use: for structural fills aim for a compacted density near the project specification (contractors often target 90% to 95% of maximum dry density). For small areas and trenches use a plate compactor on 4 to 6 inch lifts; for larger areas or deeper fills use a vibratory roller or tandem drum roller with 8 to 12 inch lifts per pass. Wet or clayey soils common around Dixon may need moisture conditioning or engineered fills, so consult a contractor or geotechnical professional for structural work.
Dixon’s hot, dry summers and local clay-rich soils can cause shrinkage, cracking, and differential settlement if fill dirt is not well-graded and compacted. To reduce problems, use clean, compactable fill, place in controlled lifts with compaction, and provide positive surface drainage away from structures. For areas where drainage matters, consider adding sand or rock layers or using engineered fill to improve stability and reduce long-term settling.
For a driveway base, crushed rock or base rock is the better option because it drains, locks together when compacted, and resists rutting from vehicle traffic. Fill dirt is appropriate for bringing grades up or filling low spots before installing a proper base, but it should not be used as the driveway surface. The common approach is to place compacted fill to achieve final grade, then install multiple inches of compacted base rock and a wearing surface.
Costs vary by scope, but for small residential jobs expect to pay for material plus labor — contractors in the region often charge for truck unload, spreading, and compaction as a combined service or by the hour. A simple yard raise might cost several hundred to a few thousand dollars total depending on quantity and access, while larger jobs increase accordingly; get at least two local quotes that include delivery, spreading, and compaction line items. Hello Gravel can help connect you with local suppliers and contractors for estimates.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt used under lawns or light foot traffic can be stable for many years, though minor settling may appear in the first 1 to 3 years and require topping up. Under vehicle traffic, fill dirt without a proper rock base will rut and deteriorate quickly, often needing repairs within months to a few years. Regular inspections after wet/dry cycles and regrading low spots annually will extend performance, and using a rock base under drive areas greatly increases lifespan.
Specify intended use (backfill, grade raise, under lawn, or driveway prep) so suppliers send the right material and note any access issues or desired placement in Order Notes. Expect regional variation in color and composition, verify delivery details (minimum order, truck type, and timing), and request quotes that separate material, delivery, and optional spreading so you can compare accurately. If you have concerns about compaction, drainage, or permits, contact Hello Gravel or a local contractor before ordering.

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.
