Why Linda Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Linda is a growing city (city population: 1.0+ million) inside a broader metro that supports expanding housing and infrastructure demand (metro area population: 2.5+ million). The area is experiencing steady expansion (growth rate: 0.40% annually) and sits in hardiness zone 8b with 228/year sunny days and annual rainfall of 34.25 inches. Those conditions mean homeowners can work outside most of the year but must account for both sun and seasonal wet periods when planning earthwork. As new builds, yard regrades, and drainage projects continue around Linda, homeowners look for dependable aggregates. Fill Dirt is often chosen for raising grades, backfilling foundations and trenches, and preparing pads because it compacts well and reduces future settling when placed correctly.Popular Projects in Linda This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Linda Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Linda.
Local fill dirt prices in the Linda area generally run roughly $8 to $25 per ton, depending on source and moisture; that converts to about $10 to $35 per cubic yard using a typical 1.2–1.5 ton/yd3 estimate. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and final pricing includes delivery, so expect additional surcharges for long-haul deliveries, small-load fees, fuel surcharges, tailgate spreading requests, and any required permits or disposal fees. For an exact price for your address and amount, check your zip code on Hello Gravel and request a quote.
Many suppliers in the West California region offer next-day delivery if you order before cutoff times (often before noon CST for Hello Gravel next-day options), but same-day delivery is uncommon and depends on local truck availability. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but spreading and compaction are not guaranteed; full mechanical compaction is usually provided by contractors rather than dump truck drivers. If you need bundled delivery + spreading + compaction, ask Hello Gravel to arrange or quote local contractors who do that work.
Measure the area in square feet, multiply by the desired depth in feet, and divide by 27 to get cubic yards (Area x Depth / 27 = yd3). Convert to tons using a working density of about 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt, and add a compaction/settlement allowance of 10–30% depending on material and moisture — use 20% as a safe starting point for Linda's typical soils. For example, a 1,000 ft2 area raised 6 inches needs about 185 yd3 ÷ 1.2–1.5 to get tons, then add 20% to cover settlement and compaction.
Fill dirt can be used as non-structural bulk fill, but it is not an ideal finished surface for driveways or high-traffic access roads because it has poor drainage and can heave with seasonal moisture changes in Linda's clay-prone soils. For shed pads and structural bases, fill dirt must be engineered, free of organics, and compacted in controlled lifts; even then, a granular base (crusher run or class II base) and surface material are usually required for durable driveways. For best results in Linda, use compacted fill only as subgrade and finish with appropriate base rock and a surface material suited to traffic and drainage.
Fill dirt is usually the least expensive option but offers poor drainage and lower durability, making it best for bulk fill or low-priority subgrade. Crusher run is a compactable mix of stone and fines that provides a strong, stable base and good load distribution—this is the preferred economical choice for driveways in Linda. Decomposed granite is attractive for low-traffic paths and patios, drains reasonably well if stabilized, but is less durable for vehicular use unless mixed with stabilizers and properly contained.
If fill dirt is used only as subgrade under a properly engineered base and surface, it can last many years with routine maintenance of the surface layer. If left exposed as the wearing surface, fill dirt will settle, rut, and erode during Linda's winter rains and will likely need periodic regrading and additional material every 1–3 years. Regular grading, adding top layers of gravel or crusher run, and addressing drainage will extend service life.
Local roads in and near Linda may have weight limits or seasonal restrictions; oversized or overweight loads can require permits from county or Caltrans depending on the route. Most reputable suppliers and haulers that Hello Gravel connects you with can advise about permits and routing, and some will assist or obtain permits for an extra fee. Always mention any HOA, cul-de-sac, or narrow-road delivery constraints when ordering so suppliers can plan the safest route and advise about potential fees.
For structural uses look for 'clean' or 'engineered' fill dirt: minimal organic matter, well-graded with some fines to allow compaction (often sold as 3/4" minus or screened structural fill). Foundation backfill and equipment pads typically require compaction to about 90% of standard Proctor density, achieved in lifts of 4–8 inches with mechanical compactors. Confirm project-specific specs with your engineer or local contractor because Linda's clay soils and project loads can change the required gradation and compaction standard.
You can blend native soil with fill dirt, but success depends on the native soil: if your on-site soil is high in organics or expansive clay, blending may not solve stability issues. Contractors commonly mix in coarse material (sand or gravel) or use engineered mixes at ratios like 3:1 (fill to coarse) to improve drainage and reduce shrink-swell, and they may recommend lime or cement stabilization for very clayey soils. The safest approach is a quick soil assessment and contractor recommendation — Hello Gravel can connect you with local pros for test-based advice.
Yes — many local contractors offer bundled services including delivery coordination, spreading, grading, and mechanical compaction; pricing can be quoted per project rather than strictly per ton. Typical arrangements include a delivery fee (or per-ton price), plus labor and equipment charges for spreading/compaction which may be hourly ($75–$200/hr for machine work depending on equipment) or a flat project rate; exact costs vary with site access, volume, and complexity. Ask Hello Gravel to include order notes about spreading and compaction needs so suppliers can provide accurate bundled quotes or refer you to local contractors.
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.
