Why Laguna Niguel Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Laguna Niguel has a population of 58,719 and sits within a metro area population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.83% annually, the city continues to see residential updates, yard renovations, and infill projects that drive demand for dependable aggregate materials. Laguna Niguel’s climate—hardiness zone 8b, about 228 sunny days per year, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall—makes year-round outdoor work possible but creates a strong need for proper grading and drainage. Many local lots are on coastal foothills or sloped pads where correcting grades, building retaining walls, and stabilizing soil require clean, compactable fill. Homeowners and small contractors look for clear quantity estimates, materials that match local geology, and scheduled delivery so projects stay on time and handle seasonal runoff.Popular Projects in Laguna Niguel This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Laguna Niguel Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Laguna Niguel.
Prices vary by source, delivery distance, and processing, but expect roughly $20 to $60 per cubic yard for delivered fill dirt in the Laguna Niguel area. Local factors like truck access, required clean testing, and how much you order can move the price up or down, so get an exact quote through Hello Gravel for your zip code.
Yes — fill dirt is usually cheaper than topsoil because it is subsoil with little organic matter and fewer screening steps. For landscaping where planting is required, you may still need to add topsoil on top of fill dirt, which adds cost.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube. In Laguna Niguel soils it typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on moisture and composition, so expect it to be heavy and dense when delivered.
No — fill dirt is subsoil intended for raising grade or filling voids and contains few nutrients, while topsoil is richer, darker, and better for plant growth. In coastal Southern California like Laguna Niguel, fill dirt often has more sand or clay and should be capped with topsoil or compost where plants will grow.
Coverage depends on the truck size and desired depth. A typical tri-axle dump truck that carries about 10 cubic yards will cover roughly 540 sq ft at 6 inches deep or about 1,620 sq ft at 2 inches, but exact truck capacity varies by supplier so confirm with Hello Gravel at checkout.
Most full-size pickup beds hold about 1/2 to 1 cubic yard of loose material, so a full cubic yard usually will not fit safely in a single pickup. For larger amounts in Laguna Niguel you should order a delivery truck to avoid multiple trips and weight limits on local roads.
Yes — fill dirt is commonly used to raise or level yards, but you should add it in thin lifts (4 to 8 inches), compact each layer, and finish with topsoil if you plan to seed or plant. Also check local grading rules, HOA restrictions, and drainage impacts before major regrading in hilly areas around Laguna Niguel.
A typical contractor wheelbarrow holds about 2.5 to 3 cubic feet, so 1 cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 9 to 11 wheelbarrow loads. Exact counts depend on your wheelbarrow size and how full you load it.
A 40-pound bag of screened soil or topsoil is usually about 0.75 cubic feet, so you would need about 36 bags to equal one cubic yard. Bag volumes vary by manufacturer, so treat this as an estimate when converting to bulk fill dirt.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. At 2 inches deep (0.167 ft), that covers about 162 square feet, so use that for planning shallow fills like bedding under pavers.
Using a typical delivered price range of $20 to $60 per cubic yard, 5 cubic yards would run roughly $100 to $300, excluding special fees for tight access, testing, or same-day delivery. For an exact total with Hello Gravel's regional suppliers and available delivery windows, request a quote through our site.
A truckload cost depends on the truck size and yardage; for a 10-yard tri-axle that translates roughly to $200 to $600 based on per-yard rates in Laguna Niguel. Factors such as load size, site access, and whether you request tailgate spreading can affect the final price.
Concerns include poor compaction leading to settling, contamination with debris or organics, and altered drainage causing runoff or erosion. In Laguna Niguel, with its varied slopes and clay/sandy soils, using tested, clean fill and proper compaction is important to avoid future problems.
Not usually — compacted fill dirt lacks organic matter and nutrients needed for grass. For a healthy lawn in Laguna Niguel, cover compacted fill with 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or amend the surface with compost before seeding or laying sod.
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.
