Why Holtville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Holtville has a city population of 7,830 and sits inside a broader metro area of 2.5+ million, a region showing steady demand for housing and outdoor improvements. With a growth rate of 0.40% annually and a climate that records 227/year sunny days alongside 34.00 inches of rain annually, homeowners here balance dry, sunny conditions with occasional heavy downpours. The combination of steady growth and active outdoor living means more projects like yard regrades, foundation backfill, and landscape terraces. For these jobs, homeowners need reliable aggregates that compact consistently and support drainage—qualities that make fill dirt a go-to material for raising grades, filling low spots, and preparing building pads. Fill dirt is essentially clean subsoil used to build up or level ground without the organic matter found in topsoil. In Holtville’s environment—with 34.00 inches of annual rain and long stretches of sun—proper compaction and drainage are critical to prevent settling and erosion. Hello Gravel sources locally appropriate fill dirt, connects you with trusted suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery, and offers clear pricing and scheduling so you get the right material delivered when you need it. Request delivery windows or tailgate spreading at checkout and contact our team for help sizing orders for your project.Popular Projects in Holtville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Holtville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Holtville.
Prices vary based on supplier, distance from local pits, and truck size, so there is no single fixed price for Holtville. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and can connect you with local suppliers for a firm delivered price; use our checkout or call our team for an exact quote. For budgeting, many customers in rural Southern California estimate costs by getting per-cubic-yard quotes and multiplying by the truck capacity (see next question for typical truck volumes).
A 20x20 area at 6 inches deep requires about 7.4 cubic yards (20 x 20 x 0.5 ft = 200 cubic feet; 200 / 27 = 7.4 cu yd). To estimate cost, multiply cubic yards needed by the delivered price per cubic yard from your Hello Gravel quote; you can also request a line-item quote that shows material and delivery separately. If you want a quick estimate, request a sample per-cubic-yard price from our site and multiply by 7.4, then add any optional spreading fees.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than crushed rock or gravel, but it is not a good long-term surface or structural base for driveways. For a durable driveway in Holtville's climate, use a compacted crushed-rock subbase (class II base or 3/4" minus) topped with a wearing surface; reserve fill dirt for raising grade or non-traffic areas. Hello Gravel can deliver both materials so you can compare delivered prices and choose the right product for performance.
You should not simply dump fill dirt or gravel over loose soil if you want a stable driveway. Proper long-term performance requires removing organic topsoil, installing a well-graded sub-base, and compacting in lifts; gravel used as a base should be compacted and graded. Hello Gravel delivers materials but does not guarantee compaction services; plan to hire a local compaction contractor in Holtville or request recommendations from our team.
Delivered material cost depends on depth and the supplier price per cubic yard, while compaction is a separate trade cost. For 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches deep you need about 18.5 cubic yards (1,000 x 0.5 ft = 500 cu ft; 500 / 27 = 18.5 cu yd); multiply by the delivered per-yard price on your Hello Gravel quote, then add local compaction contractor fees. Because compaction rates vary, contact Hello Gravel for material pricing and ask us to connect you with local compaction pros for a full installed estimate.
Yes, fill dirt should be compacted in lifts to avoid future settling, especially under structures, driveways, or where final grades must be stable. Hello Gravel manages delivery; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but we do not guarantee compaction services. If you need compaction in Holtville, we can help you find local contractors or you can hire an excavator or compacting crew separately.
Use fill dirt to raise low spots or fill non-draining holes, but avoid using it inside drainage trenches where water must move freely. For drainage trenches, French drains, or areas that need to percolate, order clean gravel or crushed rock instead of fill dirt. In Holtville's arid climate, gravel-based drainage materials often perform better long term.
Common alternatives are topsoil (for planting), sand (for leveling and bedding), and crushed rock or decomposed granite (for paths, driveways, and drainage). Hello Gravel delivers all these materials in bulk across our network; choose topsoil for plant health, sand for small leveling jobs, and crushed rock for structural or drainage uses. Add delivery notes or color preferences in checkout and check ZIP code availability for Holtville.
A 100 ft driveway (for example 100 ft x 10 ft = 1,000 sq ft) needs a proper base of compacted crushed rock rather than loose fill dirt. If you use fill dirt as a temporary raise, expect to replace it with compactable aggregate under the gravel wearing course. To estimate cost, calculate the cubic yards for the desired base depth, get delivered prices for both fill dirt and crushed rock from Hello Gravel, and add compaction and contractor labor to the material costs for a realistic total.
Prices per cubic yard and per truck vary by supplier, haul distance, and seasonal demand in the Holtville area, so Hello Gravel provides exact pricing via quote rather than listing a single rate. We do work with local suppliers who may offer better rates for larger orders or repeat business; contact our sales team or get a checkout quote to see available discounts and exact per-yard and per-truck pricing for your ZIP code.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.

We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
