Why Hermosa Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Hermosa Beach has a city population of 16,390 and sits on a busy West California coastline within a metro area population of 12.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.30% annually, local homeowners are regularly updating yards, patios, and home foundations to maximize limited space and coastal views. The climate—287 sunny days per year, 13.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 10b—supports year-round outdoor projects but also creates specific needs: coastal soils, occasional salt exposure, and compact lots require dependable materials that compact well, shed water, and resist settling. That combination of steady demand and unique site conditions is why many Hermosa Beach homeowners choose quality aggregates for grading, drainage, and structural fill work. Fill dirt is the go-to bulk material when you need to raise grade, backfill foundations, or build stable pads for sheds and patios in coastal settings. In Hermosa Beach’s low-rain, high-sun environment, properly sourced fill dirt with low organic content and good compaction characteristics helps prevent future settlement and supports surface drainage. Hello Gravel simplifies getting that material: we connect you with local suppliers who understand regional soils, offer transparent pricing and scheduling, and arrange professional dump-truck delivery so you get the right fill dirt for your project without the hassle.Popular Projects in Hermosa Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Hermosa Beach Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Hermosa Beach.
Typical delivered price ranges in Hermosa Beach are roughly $35 to $75 per cubic yard, depending on supplier, haul distance, moisture content, and site access. Per-ton pricing can be around $30 to $60 per ton, but actual cost varies by order size and exact address — use the checkout or request a quote for an exact price.
For 1,000 sq ft, 2" of fill dirt equals about 6.2 cubic yards (≈7.5 tons) and 4" equals about 12.3 cubic yards (≈14.8 tons) using a rough density of 1.2 tons per cubic yard. Hello Gravel delivers to Hermosa Beach (check zip code), with a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery of 2+ business days or next-day if ordered before noon CST.
We commonly use tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt per load; larger end dumps and transfer trucks are used less frequently. The exact truck used depends on supplier and site access; narrow driveways or tight turns may require a smaller truck or a double-drop delivery plan.
Costs vary by driveway width and prep, but for a typical 20 ft by 10 ft driveway with a 6" compacted fill base you might need about 3.7 cubic yards of fill dirt. Materials and delivery for that base could run roughly $150 to $400, with compaction and labor adding $300 to $1,000 depending on contractor rates and whether additional base rock or drainage is required. Get local contractor estimates for an accurate quote; Hello Gravel can quote material and delivery quickly.
No. In coastal Hermosa Beach you generally need a well-compacted fill dirt base plus several inches of compactable base material (like 4" to 6" of crushed rock) before a surface layer. Two inches of gravel alone over loose fill dirt will rut and shift under vehicle loads and in wet or salt-exposed coastal conditions.
Because Hermosa Beach has sandy, often loose native soils and possible high groundwater, we recommend base prep and a geotextile (geo-fabric) for driveways or heavy-use areas. Geo-fabric and a compacted layer of fill or base rock improve stability, reduce settling, and help keep fines from migrating into the gravel.
Common options include geotextile fabric, edge restraints (metal or pavers), polymer stabilizers, compacted base rock, and small retaining borders to stop migration. Hello Gravel supplies materials and can coordinate with local suppliers; for installation or specialized stabilizers we can help connect you with contractors in the Hermosa Beach area.
Permanent weed control starts with removing existing vegetation, installing a quality woven geotextile barrier, and using a clean, compacted base and clean gravel top layer. You can also use pre-emergent herbicides and periodic maintenance; Hello Gravel can deliver the materials and recommend local landscapers for barrier installation and treatments.
Fill dirt is not recommended as a final wearing surface — it’s best used as a structural base or to raise grade. In coastal Hermosa Beach, if drainage, salt exposure, or heavy vehicle loads are concerns, alternatives include compacted crushed rock bases with a top layer of compactable gravel, permeable pavers, or concrete/asphalt for driveways. Choose the option based on load, drainage, budget, and local codes.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible by phone or chat; changes are easiest before the order is processed and dispatched. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but modifications depend on supplier and truck scheduling — there is no guarantee changes can be made after dispatch.

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.
