Why Granada Hills Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Granada Hills has a population of 47,136 and sits inside a steadily growing metro that serves 2.5+ million people. With a growth rate of 0.70% annually, local construction and landscaping demand is steady—homeowners are updating yards, fixing drainage, and building patios and retaining walls as properties densify. The climate is mild but active: hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days annually and 34.25 inches of rainfall each year. Those conditions create a need for reliable structural materials that stand up to sun-driven drying cycles and seasonal rain. For many homeowners, that means choosing the right aggregate or soil product to control settling, support structures, and shape drainage while avoiding materials with excess organic matter that can compress or wash away over time.Popular Projects in Granada Hills This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Granada Hills Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Granada Hills.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Granada Hills usually vary by supplier, distance, and moisture content; expect a general range of about $25 to $60 per ton delivered. Hello Gravel shows upfront pricing for local suppliers and factors like minimum order, delivery distance, and any access challenges into the quoted price. For an exact rate, enter your zip code on our site or contact our team for a local quote.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards (1,000 x 4/12 ÷ 27). Depending on compaction, that equals roughly 15 to 19 tons; a practical order size is 16 to 18 tons to allow for compaction and minor settling. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum, so you can order the exact tonnage needed and schedule delivery accordingly.
Fill dirt can be used to raise or level areas on gentle slopes, but it is not a stand-alone solution for steep slopes or erosion control. For slope stabilization you may need engineered fill, proper drainage, geotextile, or retaining walls; contractors often prefer compacted rock or structural fill below topsoil. Consult a licensed civil or geotechnical engineer for steep or load-bearing slope work in Granada Hills.
Fill dirt performs adequately in hot, dry climates but behavior depends on composition: clay-rich fill can shrink and crack when dry, while sandy or mixed fill drains better and is more stable. For planting beds, cap compacted fill with a layer of quality topsoil and organic matter to improve moisture retention and plant health. Always mention local climate preferences in your order notes so suppliers can consider regional mixes.
Fill dirt alone is not recommended as a driveway surface. Use fill dirt only for subgrade leveling; for the driveway base choose compactable base gravel or crushed rock (commonly 3/4" minus or Class II road base) and finish with a suitable surface material. Proper compaction in layers is essential for a durable driveway in Granada Hills' climate and traffic conditions.
Most initial settlement happens within the first few weeks to months after placement, with minor continued settling over 6 to 12 months depending on moisture and load. To minimize future settling, place fill in lifts (6" to 8"), compact each lift, and avoid large single lifts of loose material. You may need light re-compaction after heavy rain or after landscaping work; for structural fills hire a compaction tester or contractor.
Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; same-day delivery is uncommon but may be possible in some areas—contact our team to check availability. Minimum order is 3 tons, and delivery fees vary by supplier and location; many areas offer free delivery, which is shown at checkout when you enter your zip code. Request tailgate spreading at checkout but note drivers decide at arrival if it can be done safely.
Decomposed granite (DG) is designed as a finished walking surface and compacts to a firm, attractive path, so it is usually the better choice for pathways. Fill dirt is cheaper but not a durable walking surface and will require a DG or gravel top layer for usability. For cost-effectiveness, use fill dirt only to build grade and then finish pathways with DG or compacted gravel.
Small amounts of fill for basic landscaping usually do not require a permit, but any work that alters drainage, changes lot grade significantly, affects neighboring properties, or involves retaining structures may require permits from the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. If you are in a homeowners association, check HOA rules as well. When in doubt, contact the local permitting office or a licensed contractor before ordering large amounts.
Compacted fill dirt in the Granada Hills area typically ranges from about 2,500 to 3,000 pounds per cubic yard (roughly 1.25 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard), while loose fill is lighter at about 2,000 to 2,400 pounds per cubic yard (1.0 to 1.2 tons). Moisture content and soil type (clay vs sand) change these numbers, so suppliers often give weight estimates for local mixes. Use these ranges when calculating truckloads, and contact Hello Gravel for supplier-specific weight and load info.
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.
