Why Lawndale Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lawndale is a coastal West California community with a city population of 28,230 and sits inside a metro area of 2.4+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually, local homeowners and contractors are increasingly undertaking yard remodels, foundation backfills, and grading projects that need reliable earthmoving materials. Lawndale's temperate climate — about 228/year sunny days and moderate precipitation averaging 34.00 inches annually — supports year-round landscaping but also creates drainage and compaction challenges that make quality fill dirt essential. Homeowners use fill dirt to raise low spots, level lawns and patios, and create stable bases for sheds and walkways; contractors rely on consistent supply and predictable compaction behavior. Because local sourcing influences texture and moisture content, selecting a supplier familiar with Lawndale conditions helps reduce settling and erosion over time.Popular Projects in Lawndale This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lawndale Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lawndale.
Coverage depends on depth and soil moisture. As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at a 1" depth and fill dirt in SoCal typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so 1 ton is roughly 0.7 to 0.9 cubic yards. That means 1 ton will cover about 225 to 290 sq ft at 1" depth; adjust upward for deeper fills and always round up to allow for settlement and compaction.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and material type, but in West California you can expect a delivered range roughly between $10 and $40 per cubic yard for basic fill dirt. Hello Gravel can provide an exact quote for your zip code — remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees or site access constraints can affect final price.
Common options are native (unscreened) fill, screened fill (fines removed), and engineered or structural fill (tested and compactable). For simple grading or low areas, screened or native fill is usually fine; for building pads, foundations, or driveway subgrades you should use engineered fill and follow compaction specs from a geotech or engineer.
Yes, fill dirt is generally one of the least expensive bulk materials because it is intended for grading and structural fill rather than planting. Topsoil and base rock cost more because they are processed for planting or drainage; choose fill dirt when you need low-cost bulk material for raising grade or backfill.
Costs depend on truck size, distance, and site conditions; a single tri-axle dump load (often 10–12 cubic yards) in the Los Angeles area typically costs in the low hundreds to about $1,000. For an accurate price, request a Hello Gravel quote — we coordinate local haulers and factor in access, tipping location, and any permit requirements.
Fill dirt can settle over time, it often has poor organic content for planting, and clay-rich mixes in the LA area can cause drainage or compaction issues. You may need extra compaction, geotextile, or a planting topsoil layer if you plan to landscape on top of it, and you should watch for buried debris or contaminated soils in urban infill areas.
Buying bulk rather than bags, choosing a local supplier, and scheduling standard (not expedited) delivery are the most cost-effective steps. Hello Gravel helps by sourcing nearby suppliers and coordinating full-truck deliveries to reduce per-yard hauling costs; recycled or reclaimed fill can also be cheaper when available.
Use cubic yards = (area in ft2 * depth in feet) / 27. For a 10x10 (100 ft2): 1" depth = 0.31 yd3, 2" = 0.62 yd3, and 4" = 1.24 yd3. Because fill dirt compacts, round up and account for compaction — and remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons if you need delivery.
Most full-size pickup trucks can safely carry about 1/2 to 1 cubic yard of common soils depending on bed size and vehicle payload limits, but weight limits can be reached before the bed is full. For larger volumes or heavier fill dirt it's safer and easier to order a dump truck through Hello Gravel to avoid vehicle damage and legal weight issues.
Sometimes reclaimed materials like crushed concrete or clean construction fill can be less expensive, and occasional free local dirt deliveries show up on listings, but availability and suitability vary. Always confirm material quality and compaction needs — Hello Gravel can help source lower-cost alternatives where appropriate and permitted.
Yes for simple grading and raising low spots, but proper preparation matters: remove organics where needed, add lifts and compact each layer, and address drainage. For structural work or near foundations, get geotechnical guidance — Lawndale's local soils and any groundwater considerations can affect how you use fill dirt.
Color and texture mostly affect appearance and planting performance; for grading and structural fill the composition and compaction properties matter more. If you plan to landscape on top, request screened or higher-quality mixes and add a layer of topsoil for planting; you can add color preferences in Order Notes at checkout but expect regional variation.
A 50 lb bag of fill dirt is a small amount — roughly 0.02 to 0.03 cubic yards, which will cover about 6 to 8 sq ft at 1" depth. For any project larger than a few square feet it's almost always cheaper and easier to order bulk delivery rather than many small bags.
For reliable compaction, place fill dirt in lifts (layers) of about 4 to 6 inches loose and compact each lift before adding more; heavier structural fills may use 4" lifts to meet specs. If you are unsure, follow any engineer or geotech recommendations for your project and note that Hello Gravel drivers can assist with delivery but not guaranteed spreading or compaction services.
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.
