Why Jamestown Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Jamestown has a city population of 4,790 and sits within a metro area serving 2.5+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, homeowners and local builders increasingly need dependable materials for landscaping, yard regrading, and small construction projects. The local climate — 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and hardiness zone 8b — creates conditions where surface soils dry quickly but can retain moisture seasonally, so compactible fill is often required to prevent future settling. Homeowners look for quality fill dirt to raise grades, fill low spots, create level pads for sheds and decks, and prepare stable subgrades before installing pavers or lawns. Because regional geology affects texture and performance, sourcing local fill dirt helps match the material to Jamestown's soil conditions.Popular Projects in Jamestown This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Jamestown Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Jamestown.
In Jamestown expect a wide range depending on supplier, distance up the foothills, and quantity. Typical delivered prices for fill dirt in small rural towns like Jamestown are often in the range of about $12 to $30 per cubic yard (roughly $8 to $22 per ton), though local factors can push prices higher; request a quote for an exact price. Volume discounts and Hello Gravel promotions may lower the per-unit cost for larger orders.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and hauling contractors who serve Jamestown and Tuolumne County, so you can get regional materials and scheduled delivery. If you prefer to find vendors directly, check Tuolumne County business listings or ask local landscapers and contractors for recommendations. Contact Hello Gravel at 855-241-8884 or use our site to check zip code availability and get supplier options.
Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, but most local dump truck deliveries are sold by the cubic yard or by the truckload. A common tri-axle dump truck serving this region carries roughly 10 to 16 cubic yards (about 12 to 20 tons depending on moisture and soil type). Ask for an exact truck volume when you book so you can plan placement and staging on your property.
Fill dirt can be used to raise grades or build up areas, but it is not an ideal wearing surface for steep driveways or erosion-prone slopes. Jamestown's wet winters can cause unprotected fill to wash and settle, so use fill dirt only as structural fill with proper compaction, drainage, and a stable surface layer such as crushed rock or engineered base. For slopes, combine erosion controls (silt fence, jute matting, hydroseeding) and consult a local contractor for slope stability recommendations.
Proper compaction is essential: compact fill dirt in lifts (layers) of 4 to 6 inches and aim to achieve a high, consistent density. For small residential jobs rent a heavy plate compactor or a walk-behind vibratory roller; for driveways or larger pads use a small tandem vibratory roller or a rented roller/rammer and consider professional compaction testing for structural work. If a project supports a building, septic, or paved driveway, consult plans or a geotechnical recommendation—engineered fill and testing may be required.
Minor grading and small deliveries for landscaping usually do not require a permit, but larger earthwork, changes to drainage, driveway realignments, or work near sensitive areas often do require permits or a grading plan from Tuolumne County. Septic systems, foundation backfill, and substantial cuts/fills commonly trigger inspections and county approvals. Check with the Tuolumne County Planning and Building Department before starting large fills to avoid delays or code issues.
Fill dirt is an economical choice for raising grade or backfilling where structural requirements are low, but it usually contains fines and organic material so it is not ideal as a finished driveway surface. Crushed rock or gravel makes a more stable, permeable driveway surface, decomposed granite gives a compacted, decorative surface for paths, and engineered fill is specified for foundations or septic systems where controlled compaction and material properties are required. Choose fill dirt for bulk volume and rough grading, then top with appropriate base materials for long-term performance.
In Jamestown's wet winters and hot, dry summers, expect some settling, washouts, and weed growth on raw fill areas until they are stabilized. Plan for erosion control during rainy months, add vegetation or mulch once stable, and top with rock or paving where traffic is expected to reduce ongoing maintenance. Periodic regrading and adding material may be needed in low spots after the first rainy season.
Hello Gravel drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion; request this service at checkout but note there are no guarantees. Prepare the site by ensuring a clear, level drop zone, marking any underground utilities, and providing safe truck access and turnaround space. If you need precise grading or compaction, plan to hire a local contractor or rent equipment after delivery.
A common rule: one cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and clay content, so confirm with your supplier for local soils. Measure the area (length x width x depth in feet), divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards, and add 10-20% for settling and compaction. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for help with estimates tailored to Jamestown conditions.
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.
