Why Lake Hughes Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake Hughes, West California, is a small community with a city population of 2,030 and sits within a metro area of 13.1+ million. The area is experiencing steady development with a growth rate of 0.50% annually. Local climate and geography—about 280 sunny days per year, 15.00 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—mean dry summers, occasional heavy storms, and semi-rural terrain that all affect how yards and sites settle and drain. That combination creates steady demand for construction and landscaping work: homeowners frequently need reliable materials to level sites, build up grades, and control erosion. Fill dirt is often requested because it compacts well, supports structures, and helps shape proper drainage before finishing surfaces are installed.Popular Projects in Lake Hughes This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake Hughes Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lake Hughes.
Generally yes: fill dirt is often less expensive per cubic yard than decorative or crushed gravel because it is unprocessed and contains fewer finished aggregates. However, local haul distance and site access in Lake Hughes can add cost, and if you need engineered or clean fill (free of organics), that will be pricier than basic fill dirt.
Delivered fill dirt in the Lake Hughes area typically ranges from about $12 to $45 per cubic yard, depending on supplier availability, whether it is clean/engineered fill, and haul distance into this rural part of Los Angeles County. For an exact price, request a zip-code-specific quote through Hello Gravel because local sourcing and truck routing affect final cost.
A common tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 15 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, so a single truckload typically costs roughly $120 to $675 based on the per-yard ranges above. Hello Gravel has a minimum order (3 tons), and final truck pricing depends on supplier, exact load size, and any access or offloading requirements.
Most local tri-axle trucks deliver about 10 to 15 cubic yards of loose fill dirt per load; exact capacity depends on the truck and whether material is wet or compacted. Keep in mind compaction at your site will reduce volume, so plan for a compaction allowance of about 10% to 20% when estimating coverage.
To estimate, use the formula cubic yards = (square feet * depth in inches) / 324. For 1,000 sq ft: at 2" depth you need about 6.2 cubic yards, and at 4" depth about 12.3 cubic yards; at typical delivered rates ($12–$45/yd3) the material cost would be roughly $75–$280 for 2" or $150–$555 for 4", excluding spreading or delivery specifics.
Two inches of fill dirt is not enough for a driveway; it will not compact to a durable base and may settle unevenly. For raising or leveling a driveway you should plan on at least 4 to 6 inches of compacted fill dirt beneath a proper gravel or paving layer, and consider engineered fill or a compacted base if vehicles will be heavy or traffic is frequent.
For a typical 200 ft long by 12 ft wide driveway (2,400 sq ft) you would need about 29.6 cubic yards for a 4" layer of fill dirt and about 59.3 cubic yards for an 8" layer. At delivered fill dirt prices of $12–$45 per cubic yard, the material alone would range roughly $355–$1,332 for 4" or $710–$2,669 for 8", not including the top gravel layer, spreading, or compaction services.
Hello Gravel coordinates delivery via local contracted dump trucks and can request tailgate spreading, but spreading is performed at the driver's discretion for safety and equipment reasons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST; spreading fees vary by supplier and site conditions, so add a spreading request at checkout and contact our team for an estimated fee.
Because Lake Hughes is semi-rural with varied slopes and drainage, use low-organic, compactable 'clean fill' for building grade or leveling and plan 4–6 inches for non-structural grading or 8–12 inches plus engineering for load-bearing areas. Delivered cost typically falls in the $12–$45 per cubic yard range, but steeper sites, long drives from suppliers, and requests for certified engineered fill can push prices higher.
Calculate cubic yards with this formula: (square feet * depth in inches) / 324, then round up. Because fill dirt will settle and compact, add a 10% to 20% allowance for settlement and waste, and confirm minimum order size (Hello Gravel minimum 3 tons) when you place your order.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers who often provide bulk pricing for larger orders, especially full truckloads or multi-truck projects, but exact discounts depend on supplier and distance to Lake Hughes. Our platform minimum order is 3 tons; for jobs that need full truckloads or multiple loads, contact our sales team for a tailored quote and delivery plan.
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.
