Why Lake View Terrace Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lake View Terrace is a growing community with a city population of 1.0+ million and steady development driven by a 0.70% annually growth rate. The area enjoys a Mediterranean-style climate with 228 sunny days per year and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and it sits in hardiness zone 8b. Those conditions—ample sun, moderate rain, and ongoing residential expansion—mean homeowners and contractors frequently need material for grading, drainage improvements, and leveling lots. Quality aggregates are sought to ensure consistent compaction, predictable drainage, and long-term stability for patios, driveways, garden beds, and foundation backfill. Fill Dirt is a reliable, affordable choice for many Lake View Terrace projects because it compacts well and provides a stable base for landscaping and construction in this climate. With moderate rainfall and a sunny growing season, proper backfill and grading using clean fill dirt reduce erosion and help direct surface water away from structures. Hello Gravel simplifies supply by connecting you with local suppliers, offering online ordering, scheduled delivery, and options like standard 2+ business days delivery or next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST, making it easier to get the right fill dirt when you need it.Popular Projects in Lake View Terrace This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lake View Terrace Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lake View Terrace.
Yes, fill dirt is generally less expensive than topsoil because it contains little to no organic matter and is sold primarily for bulk volume rather than planting quality. In Lake View Terrace you can expect lower per-ton or per-yard costs for fill dirt, but final price depends on local supply, haul distance, and whether you need screened or engineered fill.
Buy in bulk and order by the cubic yard or ton—Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and connects you with local suppliers, which reduces hauling costs. Scheduling delivery for a full truckload and sourcing materials locally usually gives the best price versus buying bagged product or making multiple small deliveries.
Order online and choose your delivery date; Hello Gravel matches you with a local supplier and contracted dump truck hauler, typically tri-axle trucks. Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.
A common tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose, which translates to roughly 10,000 to 12,000 sq ft at 1/8 inch or about 540 to 650 sq ft at 6 inches before compaction. Because fill dirt settles and compacts, plan for reduction in volume and use compacted thickness for final coverage calculations.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet—roughly nine standard wheelbarrow loads or about the bed of a full-size pickup truck. For visual planning in Lake View Terrace yards, picture a stack about 3 feet high covering a 9 ft by 9 ft area.
Costs vary with supplier, distance, truck size, and material specification, so prices differ across Lake View Terrace. Hello Gravel provides local quotes at checkout; contact our team if you need help estimating based on project size and access conditions.
Multiply the area (sq ft) by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (area * depth(ft) / 27). For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about 19 cubic yards—ask Hello Gravel to convert that to tons and truckloads for delivery planning.
No. Two inches is not sufficient for a driveway — fill dirt is not a suitable finished surface and needs structural base material and compaction. For a stable driveway you typically need several inches of compacted structural fill and gravel, proper drainage, and a wearing surface suited to vehicles.
Permitting depends on the volume of fill and impacts to drainage or slopes; Los Angeles County often requires permits for larger grading or fills that change site elevation or runoff. Small residential deliveries for minor yard grading usually do not need permits, but check with Los Angeles County public works and any HOA before starting the work.
Place fill in thin lifts and mechanically compact each lift to reduce future settlement, and add drainage controls like swales or French drains to manage runoff. On slopes, use erosion control measures such as fabric, seeding, or retaining walls, which are especially important in Lake View Terrace's hilly areas to prevent washouts during heavy rain.
Because soil density varies, one ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.9 cubic yards; at 1 inch depth that equals about 220 to 290 sq ft. Always allow for compaction and moisture content—ask Hello Gravel to convert your required depth and area to tons for a precise delivery estimate.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
