Why Eldridge Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Eldridge (city population 221) sits within a large West California metro of 2.3+ million and has a stable growth profile (0.00% annually). The local climate—about 204 sunny days a year with 46.16 inches of rain and a USDA hardiness zone of 9a—creates a mix of sun-exposed yards and moisture-tested soils. For homeowners that means steady, practical demand for graded material to manage water, support foundations, and prepare planting beds. Whether repairing driveways, raising low spots, or preparing a base for patios and sheds, residents look for consistent, well-graded aggregates because proper compaction and local soil compatibility reduce settling and drainage problems over time. Fill Dirt is a practical choice in Eldridge because it helps adjust grades and fill depressions while resisting excessive settlement when placed and compacted correctly. Given the region's rainfall and variable native soils, using locally sourced fill dirt that matches your site's texture helps maintain slope and drainage under the sun-and-rain cycle. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to trusted local suppliers, shows transparent pricing, and schedules professional dump-truck delivery so you get the right amount of fill dirt on the date you choose, with options for faster delivery when needed.Popular Projects in Eldridge This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Eldridge Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Eldridge.
Delivered fill dirt prices vary with supplier, truck distance, and load size. In Eldridge you can commonly expect a rough range of about $10 to $30 per ton (roughly $13 to $40 per cubic yard) depending on whether material is screened, hauled a long distance, or ordered in small quantities. For an accurate quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local delivery estimate.
Hello Gravel’s platform has a 3-ton minimum, and many local suppliers also set minimums in that range. Small-load deliveries (under 3 cubic yards) are sometimes available but often carry a small-load fee; standard delivery typically takes 2+ business days with optional next-day service for an extra charge. Exact minimums and fees depend on the local hauler and your delivery address.
Eldridge and nearby West California areas commonly have clay-rich soils, variable slopes, and seasonal winter rains that affect drainage and settlement. Choose fill dirt that is low in organic material and easy to compact if you are filling low areas or building pads, and account for slope stability and runoff when placing material. If you are unsure, mention your site conditions when ordering so we can suggest appropriate material and delivery options.
Plan on ordering 5% to 15% extra for most landscaping fills to account for compaction, spillage, and grading waste, with 10% being a common rule of thumb. For deeper fills, fills over soft native soils, or areas with clay that shrink and swell, consider 10% to 20% extra and consult a geotechnical professional for large or structural fills. Always measure the delivered volume on arrival and compare to your needs before final grading.
For landscaping and structural backfill, screened fill dirt (lower organics, fewer rocks) is usually better because it compacts more uniformly. For driveways and patio bases, use screened fill dirt only as bulk fill below a well-compacted engineered base—do not rely on plain fill dirt as the wearing surface. For better drainage in Eldridge’s Mediterranean climate, consider mixes with some sand or a structural base material beneath the surface gravel.
No—fill dirt is fine as bulk fill and to build grade, but it is not a substitute for crushed rock or engineered base under driveways and concrete slabs. Crushed rock or engineered base provides drainage, load distribution, and stability; use compacted fill dirt only beneath a designed base layer. For driveways and slabs in Eldridge’s variable soils, follow an engineered base specification for long-term performance.
Local requirements vary, and Sonoma County (which covers much of the Eldridge area) may require grading permits, erosion control measures, haul-route approvals, and soil testing for large or structural fills. For significant imports (especially over several cubic yards), check with the county planning or building department and consider a materials test for contamination or unsuitable organics. When in doubt, contact Hello Gravel and your local permitting office before ordering large loads.
If used as a surface, fill dirt will erode, rut, and compact unevenly quickly and is not recommended as a finished driveway surface. When used correctly as compacted base under a crushed-rock driving surface, the overall system can last many years with routine maintenance like grading, adding new surface gravel, and repairing drainage annually or after heavy rains. In Eldridge’s dry summers and wet winters, inspect high-traffic areas and drainage channels each season.
Yes—Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and haulers who sometimes deliver small loads, but availability varies by zip code. Expect small-load premiums or minimum fees—many suppliers prefer 3-ton minimums and may charge $50 to $150 extra for very small deliveries, depending on distance and scheduling. Use our site to check your zip code or contact our team for exact small-load options and pricing.
On slopes and erosion-prone sites, bench the existing slope, place fill in controlled lifts, and compact each lift rather than dumping large volumes at once. Use geotextile fabric, proper surface drainage, retaining structures, and vegetation or erosion-control blankets to stabilize soil—consult a geotechnical engineer for fills over a few feet or near foundations. Given Eldridge’s seasonal rains, prioritize runoff management and avoid placing loose fill on steep grades without professional guidance.
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.
