Why Dorris Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dorris has a city population of 900 and sits inside a larger West California metro area of 2.7+ million, experiencing steady growth at 0.70% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of rain annually, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of dry, sun‑driven landscaping needs and periodic wet-season runoff. That combination drives steady demand for earthwork, yard regrading, driveway build‑ups, and foundation backfill among homeowners updating properties or preparing lots for construction. Homeowners in Dorris look for reliable, compactable materials that handle seasonal moisture shifts, limit erosion, and provide a stable base for planting or hardscaping. Because regional geology influences texture and compaction, many prefer locally sourced aggregates to match site conditions and reduce costly delays or rework.Popular Projects in Dorris This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dorris Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Dorris.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel in the Dorris area because it is a lower-value material with fewer processing steps. Local prices vary with supply and loading, but fill dirt typically runs noticeably lower per cubic yard than decorative or crushed stone used for driveways.
In Dorris, delivered fill dirt commonly falls into a price range rather than a fixed number because of seasonal availability and haul distance. Expect a delivered range; contact Hello Gravel with your zip code for an exact quote for your job size and delivery options.
Our contracted tri-axle trucks that serve the Dorris area usually carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards loose per load. That translates to roughly 12 to 18 tons for fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction.
One cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons, depending on moisture and soil type. Use 1.3 tons per cubic yard as a practical estimate when converting between tons and cubic yards for ordering in Dorris.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used by our suppliers in northern California holds roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. If you need more precise capacity for a specific truck, we can confirm with the hauler before delivery.
One cubic yard of fill dirt is a stack about 3 feet wide by 3 feet long by 3 feet high (27 cubic feet). Spread out level it covers about 27 square feet at 1 inch depth, so you can visualize how much you need for small grade adjustments in Dorris yards.
It depends on the depth you need. For 1,000 sq ft: 3 inches depth needs about 9.3 cubic yards, 4 inches needs about 12.3 cubic yards, and 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards. Add 10-20% extra for compaction and settling, especially in colder, wetter months around Dorris.
Pricing varies with supplier and delivery distance, so exact cost can differ. For a reliable number, request a Hello Gravel quote for 10 cubic yards using your zip code; our team will include delivery and any local fees in the price.
Yes for most structural or grade work, compacting fill dirt is recommended in Dorris because the area can experience freeze-thaw and seasonal moisture which increase settlement risk. Ask our team about compaction requirements and whether you should order slightly more material to allow for compaction and settlement.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

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.

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!
