Why Five Points Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Five Points is a small but steadily growing community with a city population of 1,559 and a metro area population of 2.4+ million. The metro area growth rate of 0.34% annually, combined with a climate that sees 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b, means homeowners and local builders often focus on grading, drainage, and stable foundation preparation. Those projects drive steady demand for reliable bulk materials that compact well and resist settlement. Homeowners reshaping yards, raising low spots, or preparing bases for patios, driveways, and sheds look for quality Fill Dirt because it provides a low-organic, stable infill that supports structures and improves long-term performance in Five Points' sun-forward, moderately wet climate. Fill Dirt in Five Points performs best when matched to local soil conditions and properly compacted. With an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, choosing low-organic, well-graded Fill Dirt and compacting it in layers reduces the risk of washouts and uneven settling; the 228 sunny days per year help drying and stabilization after installation. Hello Gravel connects you to regional suppliers who source Fill Dirt appropriate for local geology, schedules delivery windows, and coordinates professional dump truck delivery. We require 2 business days for delivery, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee.Popular Projects in Five Points This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Five Points Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Five Points.
Delivered fill dirt in Five Points typically runs in a range rather than a fixed price because rates change with supplier, moisture content, and haul distance from local quarries. Expect roughly $15 to $35 per ton (about $12 to $30 per cubic yard), with the lower end for clean, loose bulk fill and higher for screened or trucked material from farther away. For an exact quote for your address, use our zip-code check on Hello Gravel or contact our sales team.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that serve Five Points, drawing from sources around Mariposa County and neighboring supply yards. Delivery fees vary by supplier, distance, and access (minimum order is 3 tons); we show exact delivery charges during checkout after you enter your address. Contact our team if you need a list of nearby suppliers or a breakdown of delivery fees for a specific job.
A practical rule: 1 cubic yard of fill dirt equals 27 cubic feet and will typically weigh between about 1.1 and 1.4 tons depending on moisture and compaction. To calculate quantities, use: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324. Example: to raise a 1,000 sq ft area by 3 inches you need about (1,000 x 3)/324 = 9.26 cubic yards, or roughly 10 to 13 tons depending on material weight.
For filling and grading, choose clean fill dirt with low organic content that compacts well; avoid loose topsoil for load-bearing areas. For driveways you usually want a compactable road base or engineered fill with some granular material rather than plain loose fill dirt to provide strength and drainage. For erosion control on slopes, combine proper fill with drainage measures and, where needed, larger rock or riprap to protect exposed areas from winter rains.
Yes — for anything bearing loads (foundations, driveways) fill dirt should be placed in controlled lifts (commonly 6 to 8 inches) and compacted between lifts to reduce future settling. Contractors typically compact to a specified percentage of Standard Proctor density (often 90% or higher) using plate compactors, rollers, or sheepsfoot rollers depending on the project size. For permit or structural projects in Five Points, follow your engineer's specs and local building department requirements.
Five Points has hot, dry summers and wetter winters, so moisture swings can cause loose fill to shrink in summer and settle or slump after heavy winter rain. Proper compaction, drainage planning (swales, French drains), and vegetation or surfacing prevent erosion and settling. If you plan deliveries during the rainy season, expect wetter material and possibly higher hauling or handling difficulty.
Some rural roads and bridges around Five Points may have weight or size restrictions, and certain long or oversized deliveries can require county permits. Before scheduling large loads, check with Mariposa County Public Works or ask our team to confirm access and any permit needs; we can help flag potential restrictions when you place your order. Also note that narrow driveways or steep access may affect where the driver can dump material and could add handling fees.
Fill dirt is cost-effective for building grade, filling low spots, and general landscaping but it is not always the best choice for load-bearing surfaces. For driveways and foundations, crushed rock or engineered base materials provide better compaction, drainage, and long-term strength; decomposed granite is a good aesthetic surface for paths but not structural support. We recommend discussing the project goals and local soil with our team or your contractor to choose the right material for Five Points conditions.
Uncompacted fill can settle and wash out over time, so expect some settling and the need for regrading or top-up for low-traffic landscaping areas within a year or two. Properly compacted and stabilized fill that is finished with a surface (gravel, paving, or vegetation) and good drainage can perform well for many years. Regular checks after heavy rains, adding material to low spots, and maintaining drainage features will extend lifespan.
In addition to the material cost, budget for spreading or labor (tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion and could incur fees), compaction or equipment rental, grading, hauling distance surcharges, and any needed permits. A good rule is to add 10% to 30% to the material price to cover these extras depending on job complexity and access. Contact Hello Gravel for a full estimate that includes delivery and common add-on services.
