Why Linden Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Linden has a city population of 5,240 and sits within a steadily growing metro region of 2.5+ million residents, expanding at about 0.80% annually. With 228 sunny days each year, an average of 34.32 inches of rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local homeowners and contractors are balancing outdoor living projects with seasonal wet periods. That steady, measured growth fuels demand for reliable aggregates as yards are regraded, new foundations are prepared, and driveways or patios are installed. Homeowners want dependable materials that perform under Linden's climate—materials that compact well, support landscaping, and shed water where needed—so sourcing quality fill dirt is a common priority for both small and larger projects. Fill dirt is a practical base material for grading, foundation backfill, and building up low spots in Linden’s yards. In this climate, well-draining, properly compacted fill dirt helps control settling after the 34.32 inches of annual rain and holds up under the long stretches of sun. Hello Gravel connects Linden homeowners to local suppliers and professional dump truck fleets, offering transparent pricing, scheduled deliveries, and guidance on quantities. We handle coordination from order to delivery so you get regionally sourced fill dirt on a timeline that fits your project, with optional tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion.Popular Projects in Linden This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Linden Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Linden.
Delivery cost varies by supplier, distance from local pits, and truck access. In Linden you may see delivery fees from about $0 (many areas offer free delivery) up to roughly $150 for longer hauls or difficult access; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery takes 2+ business days. For an exact price, request a quote through Hello Gravel and enter your zip code so we can match you with local suppliers.
Unscreened (raw) fill dirt is usually less expensive than screened material because it can include rocks and clay; screened fill dirt has fines removed and costs more. A typical Linden range might be roughly $10-$35 per ton for unscreened and $20-$50 per ton for screened, with prices varying by season and supplier. To estimate cubic yards, use a local density assumption (see the calculator FAQ below) or get a Hello Gravel quote which shows local per-ton and per-yard pricing.
Fill dirt is good for raising grade and backfill but not as a finished driveway surface. On Linden's clay/loam soils you should compact fill dirt in lifts and then place a proper base (crushed rock or decomposed granite) for a driveway to ensure drainage and load-bearing capacity. For structural work or high-traffic driveways, consider a geotechnical check or contractor guidance to address clay shrink-swell behavior.
Use this method: multiply area (sq ft) by depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by an assumed density to get tons. For Linden estimates, a reasonable assumption is 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3–1.6 tons depending on moisture and screening; for example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches (0.5 ft) = 500 cu ft = 18.5 yd3, which at 1.4 tons/yd3 is about 26 tons. Because densities vary, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or request a local sample for an exact quote.
Many local suppliers and haulers matched through Hello Gravel offer delivery and may provide tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion. Full compaction and professional spreading are typically contractor services rather than guaranteed by truck drivers. You can request spreading or compaction notes at checkout and we will pass them to the supplier, but availability and fees vary by vendor.
Permit needs depend on scope: small, routine yard grading or minor backfill often does not require a permit, but significant grade changes, alterations to drainage, or large-volume fills frequently do. For Linden, check San Joaquin County Planning and Public Works or your local building department before major grading or when altering drainage paths. If unsure, Hello Gravel can help you find contacts, but we recommend confirming permit requirements with the county.
In hot, dry conditions fill dirt dries and can shrink slightly after placement, so good compaction in lifts reduces long-term settling. Once compacted, well-drained fill performs reasonably well, but loose or poorly compacted fill is more prone to erosion on slopes during rare heavy rains. On exposed slopes add erosion control measures like seeding, mulch, blankets, or retaining structures to limit washout.
Use fill dirt when you need to raise grade, backfill, or create structural fill; it is not a finished wearing surface. Decomposed granite or crushed rock are better choices for driveway and path surfaces because they compact and provide a durable, permeable top layer. A common approach in Linden is compacted fill dirt as the base, with crushed rock or decomposed granite as the finished surface for durability and drainage.
When used as a compacted base under a correct surface material, the fill dirt itself can remain stable for many years with minimal maintenance. Typical maintenance focuses on the surface layer (adding gravel or regrading) and repairing any low spots after heavy rains or settling. If you plan to drive regularly over the area, use proper compaction, edge restraints, and a durable surfacing material to minimize ongoing upkeep.
Place fill dirt in thin lifts (4–6 inches loose) and compact each lift with appropriate equipment to reduce future settlement. Use geotextile fabric, retaining walls, terraces, and diversion drains to control runoff, and apply immediate surface protection like seed, mulch, or erosion blankets on exposed slopes. For steep slopes or large fills, consult a local contractor or engineer and check permitting requirements before work begins.
Hello Gravel sources fill dirt locally, so color, texture, and clay content reflect the regional geology around Linden and San Joaquin County. Expect natural variation; some loads will be more clay-rich while others are sandier or contain small rock. If you have specific preferences or need screened material, note that in your order and request a quote or sample so suppliers can match your needs.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
