Why Live Oak Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Live Oak has a population of 10,110 and is part of a metro area of 2.4+ million. The city is growing steadily at 1.00% annually and sits in a temperate setting with about 220 sunny days a year, 33.46 inches of rainfall annually, and placement in hardiness zone 8b. That mix of steady growth, frequent sun, and moderate rain creates consistent demand for residential and light commercial projects: grading to manage runoff, foundation backfill for additions, and yard regrading for usable outdoor space. Homeowners seek quality aggregates because poor fill leads to uneven settling, drainage problems, and added repair costs. Choosing the right material up front prevents rework and protects new plantings, patios, and structures.Popular Projects in Live Oak This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Live Oak Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Live Oak.
Fill dirt is subsoil with little organic matter used to raise or level land; it is not screened or amended for planting. Topsoil is richer and screened for landscaping, while gravel is aggregate used for drainage and driveways. In Live Oak, regional sourcing means fill dirt may be sandy or clayey depending on local geology, so it won’t support plants without amendments.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise or grade a backyard in Live Oak, but plan to add topsoil or compost if you want plants to grow. Measure the area and depth, use our online calculator, and order at least the 3-ton minimum; choose a delivery date and add notes for access or spreading preferences. For larger lifts, request multiple smaller deliveries or staged compaction to reduce settling.
For a 100 ft long driveway at 10 ft wide, 6 inches of fill dirt equals about 18.5 cubic yards (100 x 10 x 0.5 / 27). Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard, so that volume is roughly 22–28 tons. If you need a different width or depth, multiply length x width x depth (feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards.
For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide area at 6 inches deep, you need about 3.7 cubic yards (20 x 10 x 0.5 / 27). That is roughly 4.5–5.5 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. Increase quantities for deeper fills or wider drives and always allow a 5–10% overage for settling.
You should prepare a stable base before adding gravel; simply dumping gravel over loose dirt can lead to rutting and drainage issues. In many cases a compacted fill or engineered base course (class II base or crusher run) is recommended beneath gravel for driveways in Live Oak’s climate. If you’re unsure, consider a contractor to evaluate subgrade and drainage before delivery.
Prices vary with local suppliers, but expect typical delivered rates in the Live Oak area to be in the range of about $20–$50 per cubic yard depending on quality, access, and order size. A tri-axle dump truck commonly carries about 10–12 cubic yards, so a single truckload often runs roughly $200–$600 delivered. For an exact price and any available bulk discount, request a quote for your zip code and preferred delivery date.
For large orders like 100 cubic yards in the West California region, suppliers often offer lower per-yard pricing; expect a broad range of roughly $18–$40 per cubic yard depending on haul distance and site access. That puts a ballpark total from about $1,800 to $4,000 before any site fees or permits. Contact our team for a firm bulk quote and to discuss staging, delivery logistics, and possible savings on large loads.
Fill dirt is low in organic matter and nutrients, so it is not a good planting medium on its own and will not support healthy lawns or gardens. For planting, order screened topsoil or screened garden soil and amend with compost; you can use fill dirt below the planting zone for grade work but cap it with 4–6 inches of quality topsoil. If you plan to seed or sod, ask about blended soils or delivery of both fill dirt and topsoil.
Yes, local regulations and best practices matter: avoid blocking natural drainage paths, maintain setbacks from property lines, and keep fill away from septic drain fields unless approved. For projects that change grades substantially or exceed a certain volume, check with the City of Live Oak and Sutter County building or planning departments for permit and grading requirements. When in doubt, call local authorities or consult a civil engineer before delivery.
Clear obstacles, mark utilities, and ensure the truck has safe access and a place to dump without damaging your yard or driveway; share any access notes at checkout. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed, so plan to have tools or a crew ready if you need material distributed. For tight access or protective needs, request a delivery option in advance and confirm any additional fees.
Fill dirt weight and coverage vary with moisture content, soil type (sandy vs clay), and compaction; loose sandy fill weighs less per cubic yard than compacted clayey fill. That’s why we provide ranges (typically 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard) and recommend measuring by cubic yards for ordering, then converting to tons if needed. If you need help converting or want a site-specific estimate, contact our sales team with project dimensions.
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.
