Why Irwindale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Irwindale sits inside a bustling West California metro with a city population of 993,588 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a modest growth rate of 0.40% annually, steady development and renovation projects are common across residential neighborhoods and small commercial sites. The local climate—about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—means outdoor spaces see both dry heat and periodic heavy rains, so homeowners need materials that balance compaction, drainage, and erosion control. For many projects—from raising low spots and prepping foundations to grading for landscape beds—homeowners and contractors order fill dirt to build stable, workable subgrades. Because Fill Dirt performance affects long-term settling, drainage, and plant health, Irwindale homeowners seek consistent, locally sourced material delivered on schedule.Popular Projects in Irwindale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Irwindale Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Irwindale.
Delivered fill dirt in Irwindale typically ranges from about $20 to $45 per ton, which translates roughly to $24 to $54 per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. Final price depends on supplier, haul distance, truck type, and whether material is screened/clean or contains organics. Hello Gravel shows delivered pricing and minimums at checkout for your zip code and can connect you to local suppliers for exact quotes.
Use area * depth to calculate cubic yards: cubic yards = (square feet * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply by about 1.2 to convert cubic yards to tons (varies with moisture). Example estimates: a 10'x50' driveway (500 sq ft) requires about 3.7 tons for 2" of fill, 7.4 tons for 4", and 11.1 tons for 6". Always add 10-20% extra for compaction and settlement when ordering.
Irwindale has multiple local suppliers and landscape yards in nearby cities (Azusa, City of Industry, El Monte, Duarte) that stock fill dirt; many independent suppliers work with haulers to serve Irwindale. Hello Gravel can connect you to trusted local suppliers and schedule delivery after you enter your zip code. If you prefer to call, ask local landscape yards about 'clean fill' or 'structural fill' availability and whether they load tri-axle dump trucks.
Yes. Hot, dry conditions promote drying and shrinkage, which can increase settlement and dust if material is not moisture-conditioned before compaction. Contractors in Irwindale typically add moisture and use mechanical compaction to reach desired density, and they may stage work to avoid excessive drying between lifts. For landscaping, plan for extra watering or finer grading to reduce erosion and dust during summer.
Local street weight limits and neighborhood restrictions can apply in Irwindale and across Los Angeles County, and repeated heavy truck traffic may require permits or route approvals. Single deliveries are usually handled without special permits, but oversized or very frequent deliveries may need coordination with city public works. Before large projects, check with Irwindale Public Works and let Hello Gravel know if you need assistance identifying potential permitting concerns.
For general grade and elevation work, choose 'clean' fill dirt with low organic content to avoid future settlement; this is often sold as structural or compactable fill. For driveways, use a base of crusher run or road base under top layers, and reserve fill dirt for subgrade and grading rather than the wearing surface. Washed or engineered fills are better when you need drainage or less shrinkage; recycled fill can be acceptable if free of large debris and organics.
Compaction targets depend on the project: for structural backfill contractors often aim for 90-95% of Standard Proctor density, while non-structural landscaping may accept lower density. Mechanical compaction is done in lifts (usually 6" to 8"), and once compaction specs are met you can proceed with construction; if relying on natural settlement allow several weeks and re-check grades. For foundations, driveways, or anything load-bearing, consult a local engineer or inspector to confirm compaction and testing requirements.
Common additional costs include spreading and labor for placement, compaction equipment rental or operator fees, and disposal of excess material. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and delivery fees depend on distance and truck availability; tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion and may incur extra labor charges. If you need permits, curb/driveway protection, or special offloading, factor those possible fees into your budget.
Fill dirt is intended for bulk elevation and grading; it is not a finished surface. Decomposed granite and crusher run are better choices for finished walkways and driveways because they provide drainage and compact to a usable surface. For a durable driveway in Irwindale, use fill dirt to build and level the subgrade, then install crusher run or asphalt as the wearing layer.
Supply in the West California/Irwindale area is generally year-round, but lead times can lengthen during busy landscaping seasons, municipal projects, or after heavy rain events. Hello Gravel's standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and large or specialty orders may require 1-2 weeks lead time. We recommend booking sooner for larger projects or preferred delivery dates.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles, and mark underground utilities and preferred dump location before the truck arrives. Let your Hello Gravel scheduler know about narrow drives, tight turns, or HOA restrictions so we can match an appropriate truck and advise on offloading. If you need spreading or compaction, request those services at checkout and understand drivers will assess feasibility onsite.
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.
