Why Lakeport Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lakeport, West California, has a city population of 8,800 and sits inside a metro area of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually and a climate that averages 228 sunny days and 34.25 inches of rain each year, homeowners here balance outdoor living with practical site maintenance. The hardiness zone of 8b supports year-round landscaping projects, and even modest home improvements often require reliable aggregates for grading, backfilling, and foundation prep. Fill Dirt is a common choice when homeowners need to raise low spots, prepare a base for lawns and patios, or adjust grade for better drainage. Because local geology and rainfall patterns affect soil behavior, Lakeport homeowners look for consistent, locally sourced materials that compact well and resist erosion, making material quality and dependable delivery essential.Popular Projects in Lakeport This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lakeport Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lakeport.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Lakeport vary by supplier, amount ordered, and whether delivery is local; expect typical ranges rather than guarantees. Small orders (minimum 3 tons through Hello Gravel) often cost more per ton than bulk orders; ballpark ranges can be $15–$50 per cubic yard depending on site access, moisture, and regional supply. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing at checkout for your zip code and can quote delivery options and next-day fees when available.
Most tri-axle dump trucks that Hello Gravel partners with carry about 10–14 cubic yards loose (roughly 12–18 tons, depending on moisture and material density). A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) needs about 2.5 cubic yards at 2" depth and about 5.0 cubic yards at 4" depth. Using a common estimate of 1.3 tons per cubic yard, that is roughly 3–4 tons for 2" and 6–7 tons for 4".
Material cost for a 20x20 area depends on depth; for example, 4" requires about 5 cubic yards—multiply that by the unit price Hello Gravel shows at checkout. Delivery is often included in many areas, but fees or next-day charges may apply; tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is done at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. If you need professional grading/compaction, plan on separate labor costs from a local landscaper or contractor, which commonly add several hundred dollars depending on scope.
For 1,000 sq ft: at 2" depth you need about 6.2 cubic yards, and at 4" depth about 12.3 cubic yards. Using a rough conversion of 1.3 tons per cubic yard, that equals about 8–16 tons. Multiply the cubic yards by the per-cubic-yard price Hello Gravel provides to estimate material cost, and remember to add delivery and any grading/compaction labor.
Generally, basic fill dirt is cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel because it is lower-spec and less processed. However, fill dirt is not a substitute for a structural base—driveways require compactable engineered fill or crushed rock for load-bearing and drainage. For long-term durability in Lakeport's wet winters, using fill dirt to raise grades and crushed rock as a compacted base or topping is a common, cost-effective approach.
If the existing soil is low, uneven, or soft, add and compact fill dirt or engineered base material first to create proper grade and support. For a durable driveway you typically need a compacted base of fill or crushed base rock before placing 2–3" of crushed gravel on top. Hello Gravel can deliver both fill dirt and gravel; if you need advice for your specific Lakeport site, our team can help with material recommendations.
Two inches of material is not sufficient for a driveway base; it may work as a thin top dressing but will not provide structural support. For most residential driveways in Lakeport, plan on 4–6 inches of compacted base (engineered fill or crushed base) plus 2–3 inches of crushed gravel topping for good durability. Site conditions, soil type, and expected loads can change those numbers, so consider a local contractor recommendation for heavier loads.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 sq ft at 1", 162 sq ft at 2", and 81 sq ft at 4". Assuming a common density of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, one ton covers roughly 249 sq ft at 1", 125 sq ft at 2", and 62 sq ft at 4". Local material density can vary, so use these as planning estimates and confirm quantities in the Hello Gravel checkout.
Drainage trenches and French drains require clean, free-draining gravel or drain rock, not fill dirt; fill dirt can be used to backfill above the drain once the gravel is in place. For dry wells, use coarse gravel for void space and appropriate backfill per design. Hello Gravel can deliver both materials; tell us your project when ordering so we can match the correct gravel size and amount for Lakeport conditions.
The most cost-effective and durable approach in Lakeport is usually a properly compacted base (engineered fill or crushed base rock) topped with crushed gravel; simply placing loose gravel without a compacted base often leads to rutting and drainage issues. Hello Gravel delivers all needed materials, but our drivers do not guarantee compaction services; tailgate spreading may be available at their discretion. For compaction and final grading, hire a local contractor who can compact the base to local standards after delivery.
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.
