Frequently Asked Questions - Meadow Vista Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Meadow Vista.
Fill dirt is clean subsoil or earth used to raise grades, fill low spots, and backfill behind foundations or retaining walls. In Meadow Vista it’s commonly used for grading yards, building level pads for sheds, and repairing erosion-damaged spots after winter rains. It usually has low organic content so it won’t support plants well by itself.
Yes, fill dirt is often used for backfill, but it must be placed in lifts and compacted properly to avoid settling. For structural work in Meadow Vista you should follow local building codes and consider engineered fill or a contractor for compaction testing to meet county requirements.
Place fill dirt in 4 to 8 inch lifts (layers) and compact each lift before adding the next to get a stable base. For a driveway you’ll typically put compacted fill dirt first, then a crushed-stone base; the exact lift thickness and compaction spec depends on the project and local soil conditions.
You should remove vegetation and top organic soil before placing fill dirt, because roots and organic matter cause uneven settling and poor compaction. In Meadow Vista’s foothill soils, removing 3–6 inches of topsoil and placing compacted fill will give more predictable results.
Fill dirt can change surface slopes to direct water away from structures, but dense clay-heavy fill can slow infiltration and cause surface runoff if not paired with proper grading and drainage features. For Meadow Vista properties, combine fill with swales, drains, or gravel where needed and consult a contractor for slope stabilization on steep lots.
Prices vary by supplier, moisture content, and haul distance; delivered cost in the Meadow Vista area often falls in a broad range. Expect to contact Hello Gravel for an exact quote—our platform shows local pricing, and remember our minimum order is 3 tons and we offer standard and next-day delivery options.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and typically weighs about 2,000–2,700 lbs depending on moisture, so one ton is roughly 0.7–1.0 cubic yards. As an example, 1 cubic yard will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth or about 27 sq ft at 1 foot depth; to raise 100 sq ft by 6 inches you need roughly 1.85 cubic yards of fill dirt.
Common downsides are settling over time (especially if not well compacted), poor fertility for planting, and potential for erosion on unprotected slopes. In Meadow Vista you may also encounter clay-rich native soils that hold water or expand, so proper compaction and drainage planning are important.
Pure fill dirt has low organic matter so it’s less likely to support immediate weed growth, but wind-blown seed and nearby vegetation will colonize exposed fill over time. To reduce weeds in Meadow Vista, cover fill with a thin layer of topsoil and seed or install mulch, weed barrier, or gravel as appropriate.
Yes, fill dirt can be used under gravel or concrete as long as it is placed in lifts and compacted to the required density; for driveways and slabs you may need a properly engineered base (compacted fill plus crushed stone). For structural slabs or paved surfaces in Meadow Vista, check local code and consider a soils engineer if the load or soil conditions are uncertain.
For light landscaping you can work on compacted fill within a few days, but expect some additional settling over several months. For structures or paved surfaces, allow for compaction verification or testing; your building department or contractor can advise required wait times and testing for Meadow Vista projects.

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.
