Why La Honda Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
La Honda's city population is 1,230 and the community combines small-town character with proximity to a larger metro area of 2.5+ million residents. With a modest growth rate of 0.70% annually, steady development and property updates are common as homeowners maintain and improve yards, driveways, and outbuildings. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.68 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b—supports year-round projects but also creates needs for reliable earthwork and drainage planning. That means homeowners and contractors in La Honda often look for quality aggregates to stabilize slopes, raise low spots, and prepare foundations; Fill Dirt is a foundational material for those tasks because it provides mass and compaction where structural support or grade adjustment is required.Popular Projects in La Honda This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - La Honda Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in La Honda.
Delivered prices in La Honda vary with distance, access, and supplier, but typically range from about $15 to $40 per ton. That converts roughly to $20 to $60 per cubic yard depending on how dense the material is (fill dirt usually weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard). For an exact price for your address, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote, since haul distance and site access drive final cost.
Hello Gravel connects you to several local San Mateo County suppliers that serve La Honda; specific vendors vary by zip code and stock. Minimum order sizes commonly start at 3 tons through our platform, but some suppliers or remote deliveries may require larger minimums or full-truck loads; check availability and minimums when you request a quote.
Fill dirt is not a good wearing surface for driveways—especially on steep La Honda parcels with heavy winter rains and clay subsoils—because it compacts poorly and sheds water. For driveways, use crushed rock or road base as the structural layer and topping; engineered base materials provide better drainage, load-bearing, and longevity on slopes. You can use fill dirt behind retaining walls or to shape grades, but not as the finished driving surface.
Compact fill dirt in thin lifts (typically 4 to 8 inches loose) using appropriate equipment: a vibratory plate compactor for small areas and a padfoot or sheepsfoot roller for clayey fills and larger projects. Moisture conditioning is critical in rainy La Honda—don’t compact when soils are overly wet; allow drying or amend with granular material if needed. Consider geotextile stabilization on very soft subgrades and schedule major compaction work in drier months when possible.
1000 sq ft raised by 6 inches equals 500 cubic feet, or about 18.5 cubic yards. Using a typical fill dirt density (~1.3 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard) that is roughly 24 to 26 tons. Because of compaction and settlement, order an extra 15% to 25%, so plan to buy about 21 to 23 cubic yards (around 28 to 33 tons) to be safe.
Possibly. San Mateo County and local agencies often require grading, building, or coastal permits for significant cuts or fills, for work near creeks, or when creating building pads and septic-related fills. Permit triggers and requirements depend on fill volume, slope, and proximity to protected resources; contact San Mateo County Planning and Building or your local jurisdiction before large fills, and consider consulting a civil engineer for engineered fill projects.
Fill dirt can help regrade and direct runoff but is prone to erosion and settling if left unprotected—especially on steep, rainy La Honda slopes. For long-term performance, pair fill dirt with erosion control measures like vegetation, mulch, geotextile fabric, riprap at concentrated flow points, and regular inspections after storms. Expect to do some maintenance such as regrading low spots and repairing eroded channels during the first season after placement.
For septic drain fields you generally want free-draining material or engineered soils approved by your septic designer; native fill dirt is usually not suitable unless specifically engineered and tested. For driveways, crushed rock or road base is the better choice for structural support and drainage. Use engineered fill (tested and compacted to spec) when building pads, foundations, or areas with regulatory requirements; fill dirt is economical for bulk grade changes but not for structural or drainage-critical roles.
Plan for narrow, steep, or winding access common in La Honda; some dump trucks may not reach the drop area and double-handling or smaller trucks could be required. Note that drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed, so arrange a clear drop zone and staging area on your property. Mention access constraints and preferred delivery date when ordering so Hello Gravel can coordinate the right truck and equipment.
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.
