Frequently Asked Questions - Lindsay Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lindsay.
Fill dirt is primarily native soil used to raise ground level, fill low spots, and create building pads. In Lindsay's dry-summer, occasional-heavy-rain climate, use fill dirt for grading, backfill behind foundations, and general elevation work, but not as a finished driveway surface without a proper base material on top.
Calculate the volume first: area (square feet) x 0.5 feet (6 inches) = cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A rough conversion for fill dirt is about 1.2 to 1.3 short tons per cubic yard, so multiply cubic yards by 1.25 to estimate tons; for example, a 12 ft by 40 ft driveway (480 sq ft) raised 6 inches needs about 9 cubic yards or roughly 11 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a site-specific estimate.
Delivery fees in Lindsay vary with distance from the supplier, truck type, and access at your property. Many Hello Gravel orders qualify for free delivery, but when a fee applies expect a local range from about $0 to $150 for short local hauls; exact cost is shown at checkout after entering your zip code. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery is by dump truck on a scheduled date.
Most suppliers deliver loose fill dirt by dump truck; compaction is typically performed on-site by a contractor or with rented equipment. Some local suppliers or contractors in our network can arrange compacted fills or compaction services—request this when you get a quote and confirm whether compaction testing is included. For foundation or structural backfill, specify engineered or tested fill and check local building requirements.
For structural work, foundations, or permitted construction, city and county building departments commonly require compaction specifications and testing documentation. Requirements vary by project type and permit; contact the City of Lindsay building department or your project engineer before placing an order. Hello Gravel can help connect you with suppliers and contractors who understand local code needs, but final compliance is up to you and your contractor.
Fill dirt is fine-grained soil good for raising grades and backfill but it drains and compacts differently than crushed stone. Crusher run (a mix of crushed rock and fines) compacts tightly and sheds water better, making it a superior choice as a driveway base or surface in the Lindsay area. Use fill dirt to build up subgrade and crusher run or aggregate on top for a durable, trafficked surface.
Fill dirt will dry and shrink in hot, dry summers and can be prone to surface erosion during heavy rains if not protected. To reduce erosion in Lindsay, compact fill properly, install positive drainage, use a cap of gravel or topsoil with vegetation, or add erosion control measures like straw wattles or geotextile where needed. Proper grading and drainage are the most important factors for long-term performance.
Longevity depends on use, compaction quality, drainage, and what surface material is used on top. A well-compacted subgrade covered with proper base material and surface can last decades, while exposed or poorly drained fill dirt may settle, rut, or erode within a few seasons. Regular maintenance of drainage and surface topping greatly extends the life of the installation.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving Lindsay, CA; enter your zip code on our site to see availability and pricing. We deliver by dump truck (minimum 3 tons) with delivery typically in 2+ business days and next-day options available; tailgate spreading can be requested at checkout but is provided at the driver's discretion. For spreading, note that drivers assess safety and access on arrival and spreading is not guaranteed.
Costs depend on material quantity, delivery distance, and whether you hire compaction as a separate service. Expect material costs to vary and delivery to be free in many areas or a modest fee if not; for a small job (a few cubic yards) compaction labor or equipment rental typically adds a few hundred dollars. For an accurate total, request a quote from Hello Gravel and ask about local contractors for compaction.
Specify the intended use (grade raise, backfill, erosion control) so suppliers can suggest the right type of fill and whether engineered fill or testing is needed. Check access for a dump truck, confirm the delivery date, request tailgate spreading if desired, and plan for compaction and drainage before material arrives. If your project is permitted or structural, contact the City of Lindsay building department and consider a contractor or geotechnical advice to meet local requirements.
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.
