Why Julian Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Julian has a city population of 3,110 and sits inside a growing regional market with a metro area population of 2.7+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.00% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners here are continually updating yards, driveways, and small-scale infrastructure. The town's terrain and seasonal sun exposure—hardiness zone 8b—mean residents face both slope-stability and erosion concerns when reshaping lots or adding new landscaping features. That combination of steady development and local site challenges drives demand for reliable bulk materials and quality aggregates that perform under Julian's specific conditions, so homeowners and small contractors prioritize materials that compact well and support grading, drainage, and plant beds without unexpected settling.Popular Projects in Julian This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Julian Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Julian.
Delivered price for fill dirt in Julian commonly varies by supplier, haul distance, and material quality; expect roughly $20 to $60 per cubic yard as a broad range. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers 2+ business day standard delivery with next-day options for orders placed before noon CST—request a local quote for an exact delivered price.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so at 2 inches (0.167 ft) depth it will cover about 162 square feet. For deeper raises or to allow for compaction, plan to buy 5-10% more material.
Yes — local contractors or haulers can both deliver and spread fill dirt; Hello Gravel coordinates delivery via contracted dump truck fleets and drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion. Spreading or placement labor from a contractor typically runs as an hourly rate or flat job price; costs vary by local labor rates and site difficulty, so get written estimates before work begins.
You can place fill dirt directly on native soil for small leveling tasks, but you should assess existing soil stability and drainage first because Julian has rocky, sometimes clay-rich soils and seasonal runoff. For unstable areas, slopes, or where you need long-term stability, compact the fill in lifts and consider geotextile fabric, a compacted crushed-stone base, or engineered fill as recommended by a contractor.
For driveways over fill dirt, a compacted base of 3/4" crusher-run or road base (4 to 6 inches) with a 1 to 2 inch surface of #57 or 3/4" crushed stone is a common approach. As a rule of thumb for a 20 ft wide driveway: per 100 feet of length, plan about 25 cubic yards for a 4" base and about 6 cubic yards for a 1" surface; adjust quantities for your length and desired depth.
Costs vary with depth, material choice, site access, and hauling distance; a rough material-and-delivery range for a typical 20 ft wide residential driveway (100 ft long) is $1,500 to $5,000, but complicated sites or steeper lots in Julian can push costs higher. Obtain local quotes that include material, truck access, compaction, and any spreading labor for an accurate total.
Bulk delivery is usually the most convenient and cost-effective if you need several cubic yards, since per-unit pricing drops with volume and Hello Gravel handles truck coordination. Recycled material can be cheaper but varies in consistency; pickup from a local quarry may save money if you have a suitable truck and time, but factor in haul costs and local terrain when deciding.
In Julian’s mountain climate with seasonal rains, lay a free-draining base and consider landscape fabric to help reduce mixing with underlying fill and slow weed growth, though fabric can trap fines so choose a permeable type. For driveways or high-traffic areas, a compacted crushed-stone base under the pea gravel provides better stability and drainage than pea gravel placed directly on loose fill.
Pea gravel is attractive and drains well, but it shifts, can be hard to mow over, and may allow weeds if not installed with proper edging and weed control; it also requires periodic top-ups as material migrates. On sloped or poorly compacted fill in Julian you can see rutting or washouts during heavy rains, so proper base prep and edging are important to reduce maintenance.
Rodents can burrow through loose fill and pea gravel if there is vegetation or unprotected soil for them to enter; gravel alone is not a full barrier. To discourage burrowing, compact the fill, install hardware cloth or rock netting under the gravel at vulnerable edges, keep vegetation trimmed, and seal gaps around foundations and structures.
A typical 50 lb bag of pea gravel is about 0.5 cubic feet, so at a 2 inch depth it will cover roughly 3 square feet. By comparison, one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches, so bulk yards are far more economical for anything larger than a small accent area.
1-inch or #57 gravel is commonly called #57 stone or 3/4" crushed stone and is widely used as a surfacing or topcoat material because it compacts well and sheds water. It is suitable over properly compacted fill and a crushed-rock base for driveways and paths in Julian, but make sure you have adequate base depth and compaction for durability.
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.
