Why Larkspur Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Larkspur has a population of 6,712 and is part of a growing West California metro area with a population of 2.5+ million, expanding at about 1.00% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b—creates yards that see extended dry spells punctuated by seasonal wet periods. That mix keeps homeowners busy with grading, drainage fixes, foundation backfill, and site preparation for hardscapes or sheds. For these common projects, homeowners need dependable, stable aggregates that compact predictably and integrate with native soil textures, which is why many in Larkspur turn to quality fill materials rather than loose topsoil or uncompacted on-site subsoil. Fill Dirt is a dense, low-organic material designed to provide bulk and structural support for raising grades, building pads, and backfilling around foundations and retaining structures. In Larkspur’s environment—where 34.25 inches of rain a year can promote settling without good compaction—fill dirt helps form a stable subgrade that sheds excess moisture better than topsoil. Hello Gravel simplifies getting that material by connecting you to local suppliers, offering transparent pricing, a 3-ton minimum, professional dump truck delivery, standard 2+ business day scheduling, and a next-day option for qualifying orders, so you can get the right fill dirt on time for your project.Popular Projects in Larkspur This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Larkspur Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Larkspur.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Larkspur vary by source, haul distance, and moisture but typically fall in a range rather than a fixed number. Expect to see a broad delivered range; contact our team for a firm per-ton quote for your zip code and project size. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may offer free delivery in many areas depending on supplier and distance.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted dump-truck fleets serving the Larkspur/Marin County area, so materials come from nearby quarries, pits, or engineered fill sources. Deliveries are usually made by tri-axle dump trucks; share site access details at checkout so we can match a supplier and truck that can safely deliver to your address.
Small backyard leveling or shallow garden fills often do not require permits, but any work that changes grading, alters drainage, involves significant volumes, affects creek setbacks, or supports structures may require a permit from the City of Larkspur or Marin County. When in doubt, contact your local planning or public works office before ordering and tell our team if your project involves grading, retaining walls, or slope work so we can advise on next steps.
Install fill in thin lifts (typically 4 to 6 inches) and compact each lift with the proper equipment (plate compactor for small areas, vibratory roller for larger fills) to avoid future settlement. Match moisture content to the material's optimum, avoid placing organic topsoil as structural fill, and for foundations or structural needs plan for compaction testing and engineer specs to achieve required density.
Conversion depends on soil type and moisture but a common rule of thumb is 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt equals roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons. For example, 10 cubic yards would be about 12 to 16 tons; use the higher end for wetter or denser clay-rich fills and the lower end for dry, friable material. If you give us your project dimensions, Hello Gravel can calculate an estimated tonnage for ordering.
Yes—adding fill changes slope and surface runoff, and in Larkspur's hilly, rainy environment that can increase erosion if not managed. Plan for drains, swales, terraces, or retaining walls as needed, avoid placing fill against creek setbacks, and consider erosion-control measures during the rainy season; check local regulations for work near waterways.
Before delivery, clear the dump spot and note driveway width, overhead wires, and neighborhood parking rules—many Larkspur streets and driveways are tight. Tell us about any weight limits or required permits for truck parking, request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired (driver discretion), and schedule deliveries for daytime when access is easiest.
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.
