Why Leggett Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Leggett is a small community of 230 tucked into the West California region that sits within a larger metro of 2.2+ million. With a 3.28% annual growth rate, 205 sunny days each year, and 52.75 inches of rainfall, local homeowners and contractors face a mix of sunny building days and substantial wet-season challenges. The area’s hardiness zone of 8b supports diverse planting and development, but seasonal moisture and terrain variation increase demand for reliable site work. That demand drives a steady need for quality aggregates—especially fill dirt—to level yards, raise building pads, and stabilize driveways so landscaping and foundations perform well through heavy rains and growth-driven development.Popular Projects in Leggett This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Leggett Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Leggett.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Leggett area typically range from about $10 to $35 per ton, depending on source, truck distance, and material quality. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum per order and may charge extra for next-day delivery or long haul distances; get a quote to see the exact price for your address. Haul-off (removal) of existing material runs separately and often ranges from $150 to $600 per truckload depending on distance and disposal fees, so request removal pricing when you order.
Local sources include nearby aggregate pits, landscape supply yards in Mendocino County, and construction sites selling clean fill. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers, so enter your ZIP code to see available local options and compare delivered pricing and pickup dates. Keep in mind that regional geology affects color and texture, so ask for a material description if appearance matters.
In rainy, coastal, and hilly settings, use screened or clean fill with low organic content to reduce settlement and freeze/thaw problems. For slopes and drainage-critical spots mix in or place a layer of crushed rock or coarse sand to improve drainage, and compact material in lifts to increase stability. Avoid using topsoil or high-organic fill for structural fills or under hardscapes because they hold moisture and compress over time.
First calculate cubic yards: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27 = cubic yards. For quick ton estimates use about 1.0 to 1.2 tons per cubic yard for typical fill dirt (use 1.1 tons/cu yd as a practical average). Example: a 12'x30' driveway at 6" deep is about 6.7 cu yd, or roughly 7 to 8 tons; a 12'x12' patio at 4" deep is about 1.8 cu yd, or about 2 tons.
Small landscaping fills are often allowed without a county permit, but larger fills, grading work, or any work near creeks, wetlands, or public roads may require Mendocino County permits or a grading permit. Regulations vary by parcel and scope, so contact Mendocino County Planning and Building Services before large deliveries or major grade changes to confirm permit and erosion-control requirements. If your project affects a creek or riparian area, you may also need state or federal permits.
Clay soils in the Leggett area retain water and can cause poor drainage and settlement when simply covered with fill. Improve performance by placing well-graded, low-organic fill in thin lifts and compacting each lift, add drainage layers (coarse sand or crushed rock) where needed, and install geotextile fabric to separate native clay from new fill. For structural work or expansive clays, consult a soils engineer about stabilization options like lime or cement treatment and compaction testing.
Fill dirt is intended to raise grade and fill voids but usually contains fines and will compact; it is not an ideal structural wearing surface. Road base is crushed aggregate with fines designed for driveways and load-bearing support and is a better base under asphalt or heavy use areas. Decomposed granite makes a good stabilized path surface, and fill sand is useful for leveling and drainage bedding; pick the material that matches the function (fill vs structural base vs finished surface).
For small landscaping jobs expect spreading and compaction labor to run roughly $300 to $1,200 depending on access, slope, and how much machine time is needed. Hourly equipment and operator rates in rural Northern California commonly run $75 to $150 per hour, while compactors or rollers might add rental costs of $80 to $200 per day. For accurate budgeting, get written bids that separate material delivery (Hello Gravel) from spreading and compaction labor so you can compare options.
Yes — Leggett's rainy coastal climate increases the risk of erosion and sediment runoff if fill is placed or stockpiled improperly. Use erosion-control measures like silt fences, straw wattles, temporary seeding, and proper grading to direct runoff, and avoid placing fill near streams or drainage ways without permits. Ask your supplier and contractor about best practices for slope stabilization and temporary protections during the rainy season.

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.
