Why Lone Pine Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Lone Pine has a city population of 1,500 and sits within a metro area population of 2.7+ million. With a growth rate of 0.40% annually and a climate that includes 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rain annually, homeowners and small developers face particular site-prep needs. The region’s hardiness zone is 8b, and local soils can vary from compacted subsoil to sandy loams, so projects often require dependable fill to raise grades, correct settlement-prone areas, and establish reliable drainage. Whether you are building a foundation, regrading a driveway, or preparing planting beds, Lone Pine residents seek consistent, low-organic fill dirt that compacts well and resists washout during seasonal storms. Given the area’s steady expansion, even small jobs benefit from professional-grade materials delivered on a predictable schedule to avoid delays and rework.Popular Projects in Lone Pine This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Lone Pine Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lone Pine.
Delivered fill dirt prices to Lone Pine vary with source distance, truck access, and material quality. Expect a wide range roughly $20 to $60 per ton (about $25 to $75 per cubic yard) for typical clean fill, with the higher end reflecting long hauls or remote delivery fees. Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons and final price will include any trucking surcharge for remote deliveries.
Suppliers charge either per ton or per truckload; tri-axle dump trucks serving the area commonly carry about 10 to 14 tons. Hello Gravel accepts small orders (minimum 3 tons), but single-truck deliveries are priced per truck when you need a full load, and small orders may include a minimum delivery fee. Always check the checkout quote for truck-based pricing and any added access or offload charges.
Use this quick estimate: one cubic yard covers 1 square yard at 3 inches depth; a good conversion is about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt. For example, a 12 ft by 100 ft driveway (1,200 sq ft) raised 4 inches needs ~15 cubic yards (~18 tons). A 30 ft by 30 ft building pad raised 12 inches needs ~33 cubic yards (~40 tons). Adjust quantities for compaction and settling and always buy a little extra (5% to 10%).
Fill dirt can compact well, but success depends on lift thickness, compaction effort, and moisture control. In Lone Pine's sandy or arid soils you should place fill in thin lifts (4 to 8 inches) and use a plate compactor or vibratory roller, adding moisture if the material is too dry. For structural fills or where load-bearing is needed, mechanical compaction and testing are recommended.
Lone Pine's hot summers, cold winters, and occasional flash floods increase risks of erosion, dust, and freeze-thaw movement. Proper compaction, grading for positive drainage, and installing erosion controls (swales, riprap, vegetation) reduce maintenance. Areas exposed to runoff or seasonal flooding may need extra compaction, geotextile, or engineered solutions.
Permits and rules can apply in Inyo County for grading, lot changes, septic work, and importing large volumes of fill. Before ordering, contact Inyo County Planning and Building or the local public works office to confirm grading permits, septic approvals, and any clean-fill documentation requirements. Hello Gravel can deliver material but cannot determine permit status for your project.
For driveways use compactible subsoil fill with some fines for stability, topped with a well-graded gravel or crusher-run surface for traction and drainage. Septic systems typically require clean, tested fill and engineered base materials per health department specs; avoid organic-rich topsoil in septic fill. For erosion control choose heavier fills with some coarse material and pair with vegetation or structural controls in channels and slopes.
Fill dirt is generally the most economical option for adding volume and rough grading but is not engineered for load-bearing by itself. Crusher run provides a stable, interlocking base for driveways because it compacts well and sheds water; engineered fill is specified, placed, and tested for structural pads and foundations. Choose fill dirt for bulk elevation change, crusher run for base layers, and engineered fill when a geotechnical spec and testing are required.
Suppliers often source fill from local pits and quarries in Owens Valley, nearby valley floors, and regional borrow sites; exact sources vary by season and availability. Because Lone Pine is remote, expect additional trucking charges compared with urban deliveries; single-truck linehaul fees commonly add a few hundred dollars and can reach several hundred for longer hauls. The final delivery cost depends on road access, turnaround time, and how many miles the supplier must travel.
Yes. For building pads, retaining walls, or septic system bases, local contractors and building officials commonly recommend or require geotechnical review and compaction testing to confirm bearing capacity and settlement expectations. A geotech report will tell you acceptable fill material, compaction specs, and inspection points—these steps reduce risk on desert and mountain sites.
