Why Edison Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Edison has a city population of 355 and sits inside a metro area population of 2.5+ million, with a growth rate of 0.70% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.70 inches, and hardiness zone 8b—supports steady residential development and landscaping projects. Homeowners and contractors in Edison often need dependable material for grading, build-up, and drainage as infill for foundations, patios, and yard regrading. Measured growth and an active metro encourage new driveways, garden terraces, and site work, so quality aggregates matter: properly graded fill prevents settling, channels stormwater away from structures, and creates a stable base for pavers and lawn areas. That combination of weather, expansion, and development drives ongoing demand for consistent, compactable fill dirt.Popular Projects in Edison This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Edison Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Edison.
Prices in Edison vary by supplier, haul distance, and truck size, but delivered fill dirt typically falls in a broad range. Expect to see ranges rather than guarantees—many local deliveries in California are roughly $15 to $60 per ton depending on distance and moisture content. The best way to get an exact price for your address is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote to include delivery and any fees.
Hello Gravel has a platform minimum of 3 tons, and most local suppliers deliver by tri-axle dump truck with a similar minimum. Delivery windows are usually 2+ business days for standard service, with next-day options available for an extra fee if you order before noon CST. Confirm truck access and driveway constraints before scheduling, since driver spreading is at the driver's discretion.
Fill dirt alone is not ideal as a finished driveway surface because it compacts into a firm but erodible layer that can rut and wash out in storms. In hot, dry Edison conditions you should use fill dirt for bulk grading and compaction, then install a structural base of crushed rock or gravel (e.g., 3/4" minus) topped with a wearing surface for durability. Contractors commonly use fill dirt for grade adjustments and crushed rock for the load-bearing and wear surface.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in ft2 * depth in inches) / 324. Then multiply cubic yards by an estimated weight per cubic yard (use 1.2 to 1.6 tons/yd3 for fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction). For example, raising 1,000 ft2 by 2 inches is about 6.17 yd3, which equals roughly 7.4 to 9.9 tons using that weight range.
Loose fill dirt can settle or shrink by roughly 10% to 30% after placement and compaction, depending on moisture and soil type. For clay-heavy sites near Edison, place fill in thin lifts (4 to 8 inches loose) and compact each lift with a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller for larger areas; moisture conditioning helps achieve better compaction. Consider geotextile separation and proper drainage when working with clay to avoid long-term settling and moisture-related problems.
Permit needs vary by scope and local rules, so check with your city or county building and planning department before moving large amounts of fill. Small landscape projects often do not require permits, but structural changes, altering drainage, retaining walls, or moving significant quantities of soil usually trigger permitting and inspection requirements. Hello Gravel recommends contacting local authorities or your contractor early to confirm any permitting, grading, or erosion-control rules.
Properly placed and compacted fill dirt used for grading or backfill can be stable for many years, but exposed fill used as a surface will erode and settle over time. For driveways or traffic areas, plan to cover fill dirt with a structural base and wearing course (crushed rock) and expect occasional regrading or top-up after heavy rains—typically every few years depending on use. For landscaped areas, add vegetation or mulch to control erosion and limit runoff.
Standard fill dirt is not engineered to be a final wearing surface for heavy truck traffic; its load-bearing capacity depends on material gradation, compaction, and subgrade conditions. For commercial parking or heavy truck access you should use engineered structural fill, proper base rock, and compaction testing (often 95% Standard Proctor or to engineer spec) to meet bearing requirements. Consult a geotechnical or civil engineer for design and testing on sites expecting high loads.
Avoid placing fill where it will block natural drainage paths or concentrate runoff onto neighboring properties, and plan positive slopes or swales to move water away from foundations. Because Edison and nearby areas can experience seasonal rains, protect new fills with erosion control (straw, seed, silt fences) until vegetation is established. Also be aware of local rules about importing fill material — some jurisdictions restrict contaminated fill — so verify source materials and local regulations before delivery.
Contractors usually specify 'fill dirt' as a fines-rich, screened material (often called 0" to 3/4" minus) suitable for compaction and grading, while structural or engineered fill will have tighter gradation and fewer organic fines. For backfill and general grade work, a screened fill dirt or 'clean fill' is common; for load-bearing applications contractors prefer compactable granular base rock (e.g., 3/4" minus or graded aggregate). Always confirm the supplier's material description and request a sample or spec sheet if your project has engineered 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.
