Why Lincoln Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lincoln has a city population of 56,640 and sits inside a metro area of 2.7+ million, growing at about 1.00% annually. With a temperate climate (Hardiness Zone 8b), 228 sunny days a year, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, the region sees steady residential and light-commercial development. That steady growth means homeowners in Lincoln frequently need dependable base materials for grading, foundation backfill, driveway build-up, and landscape reshaping. Quality aggregates matter because poor fill or high-organic soils can lead to settling, drainage issues, and extra repair costs down the line. Fill Dirt is a cost-effective, stable option for raising low spots, filling trenches, and providing a compactable subgrade before placing topsoil, pavers, or concrete. In Lincoln’s climate, Fill Dirt performs well when properly compacted and sourced locally to match native soils. The moderate rainfall and sunny conditions speed drying but can also concentrate runoff, so using well-graded fill with low-organic content helps prevent erosion and uneven settling. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled deliveries, and material guidance so you get appropriate, regionally sourced Fill Dirt delivered on a timetable that fits your project.Popular Projects in Lincoln This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lincoln.
Yes, fill dirt is generally less expensive than decorative gravel or crushed rock because it is unprocessed soil meant for raising grade and filling spaces. Prices in Lincoln vary by local supply and hauling distance, so savings depend on availability and delivery; check your zip code for exact pricing through Hello Gravel.
Delivery cost depends on distance, load size, and type of truck; a typical tri-axle load (about 10-12 cubic yards) in West California often lands in the $250 to $700 range delivered. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and offers upfront quotes and delivery windows (standard 2+ business days), so get an online quote for an accurate number.
Fill dirt can be used to raise or level the subgrade under a driveway, but it should not be the final driving surface because it can settle and rut. For a stable driveway, use compacted fill dirt to set grade and then install a structural base such as compacted crushed rock before adding the finished surface.
A dump truck load price varies by truck size and material type; a tri-axle load (commonly used by Hello Gravel partners) holds about 10-12 cubic yards and typically costs between $250 and $700 delivered in West California. Exact pricing depends on supplier stock, site access, and haul distance, so request a quote for your address.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so it covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Use those numbers to estimate how many cubic yards you need for your Lincoln yard or project.
A single cubic yard is roughly a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft pile when neatly stacked. In practice, loose piles spread out more and one yard is usually about one to two pickup truck loads depending on bed size and how tightly the material is packed.
No, 2 inches of fill dirt is generally not enough for a driveway or long-term grading because it is thin and likely to settle quickly. For driveways and structural grading, plan on several inches of compacted fill plus a stable base layer; for lawn or planting areas, thicker fill with proper compaction is recommended to avoid future settling.
You can place gravel over fill dirt, but you should prepare the subgrade first by removing organic material and compacting the fill to reduce settlement. For long-lasting results, install a compacted base course or geotextile fabric depending on drainage needs and driveway traffic.
Fill dirt can settle over time, may contain organic matter that decomposes and causes voids, and often has variable drainage depending on local soils. In Lincoln and West California, regional soil mixes vary, so compaction, testing for contaminants, and adding proper base material are common ways to avoid problems.
For drainage or temporary stabilization, clean gravel or crushed rock can be appropriate, but for permanent structural fill you usually want compactable fill dirt or engineered fill. If you are filling a deep hole in Lincoln, consider a mix: compacted fill dirt for bulk and gravel for drainage layers where needed.
For 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches deep you need about 9 cubic yards (1000 * 0.25 ft / 27 = 9.26 yd3); at 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards. Prices vary, so get a Hello Gravel quote for delivered yards to your Lincoln address and factor in compaction or settling when ordering.
Weight varies with soil type and moisture, but a general estimate is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard for common fill dirt in the Lincoln area. If you need weight for truck limits or permit reasons, ask the supplier for a specific dry or wet weight estimate.
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.
