Why Dos Palos Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dos Palos, with a city population of 9,466, sits in a steadily growing part of West California, expanding at roughly 0.70% annually. The local climate—about 232 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.60 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—creates a mix of dry spells and significant seasonal moisture that shapes yard and site work. That combination drives steady homeowner demand for dependable soil and aggregate deliveries for grading, raised beds, driveway bulk-ups, and foundation backfill. Homeowners and local contractors in this market want materials that compact well, resist erosion during rainy periods, and are affordable to transport within the metro area of 2.5+ million residents. Fill dirt is a practical, cost-effective choice in Dos Palos for bringing grades up, filling low spots, and creating stable subbase layers before final landscaping. Because fill dirt is typically low in organic matter and made to compact, it helps reduce future settling when placed and compacted properly—important given the area’s 34.60 inches of annual rainfall. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery so you get regionally sourced fill dirt on a schedule that fits your project. We provide transparent pricing, a material calculator to estimate quantities, and delivery options so homeowners can plan for compaction, drainage, and seasonal timing.Popular Projects in Dos Palos This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dos Palos Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Dos Palos.
Yes. Fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel because it is intended for bulk filling and grading rather than finished surfaces. In Dos Palos you can expect lower unit prices for loose fill dirt, but final cost depends on delivery distance, moisture content, and whether material is screened or contains rocks.
No. Fill dirt will compact and become firm but it does not harden like concrete or bound aggregate. To get a hard, load-bearing surface in Dos Palos you should place and compact a structural base (crushed rock or processed base) or use paving; fill dirt is best for backfill, grading, and raising elevation.
Yes, but with conditions. In Dos Palos it is common to use compacted fill dirt as subgrade, then install a compacted crushed-rock base before pea gravel to improve drainage and prevent settling. Avoid placing pea gravel directly on loose or organic fill dirt — compact and test for drainage first.
Usually not. Two inches is only a skim coat and will settle quickly; for shaping, grading, or correcting low spots you should plan on at least 4 to 6 inches of compacted fill dirt, and more if you need to change elevations significantly. Always compact in lifts (2 to 4 inches at a time) to reduce settling in Central Valley soils.
Prices vary by supplier and truck type, but a typical tri-axle dump delivery in the Dos Palos area carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (roughly 11 to 15 tons depending on moisture and density). Expect a rough delivered price range of about $150 to $450 per truckload, depending on material quality, haul distance, and whether spreading is requested.
Use the formula: cubic yards = (square feet * depth in feet) / 27. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches (0.333 ft) needs about 12.3 cubic yards, which in Dos Palos will weigh roughly 14 to 16 tons depending on moisture and soil type. We recommend ordering an extra 5-10% to allow for compaction and settling.
Cost depends on driveway width and required depth. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at a 6-inch compacted depth you need (20*10*0.5)/27 ≈ 3.7 cubic yards; at typical local rates that could run roughly $60 to $150 for the material plus delivery, with higher costs if a thicker base, compaction, or hauling from farther away is needed. For driveways you should plan on adding a crushed base layer for strength, which increases cost.
Fill dirt is rarely sold by the bag for yard projects, but a 50 lb bag is a very small amount. It contains roughly 0.02 to 0.03 cubic yards, so it would only cover a small patch a few square feet at a shallow depth — for most Dos Palos projects bulk cubic yards or truckloads are more cost effective.
Fill dirt is not a concrete ingredient and does not follow concrete mix rules like 20/30/40. If you are preparing a slab or footing in Dos Palos, use engineered fill and compacted base materials per your contractor or local building department, and use proper aggregate and mix designs for concrete itself.
Loose, uncompacted fill dirt can provide hiding places or make it easier for rodents to burrow, especially if it contains organic material. To reduce pest issues in Dos Palos, use clean, low-organic fill dirt, compact it in lifts, and avoid leaving deep, loose piles for long periods.
Do not use fill dirt when you need a finished top surface, good drainage, or structural bearing on its own. For lawns or planting beds in Dos Palos you need topsoil, and for driveways or patios you need compacted base rock; also avoid using high-organic fill where certification or engineered fill is required for permits.
Most standard pickup beds carry less than 1 cubic yard safely — usually 1/2 to 3/4 cubic yard depending on the truck and load restrictions. For anything more than small touch-ups in Dos Palos, ordering a dump truck delivery is more practical and complies with local weight limits and the minimum order requirements.
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.
