Why Mojave Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mojave is a small city of 4,402 with strong regional connections to a metro area of 2.5+ million. The area grows at a steady 0.40% annually and sits in a sun-forward climate with 228 sunny days each year and 34.25 inches of average annual rainfall. In this high-desert edge of West California (hardiness zone 8b), homeowners and local builders often need reliable earthwork to manage grading, drainage, and foundation prep for new landscaping, additions, and driveway repairs. That steady but measured growth, combined with seasonal rains and intense sun, drives demand for dependable aggregates that perform under heat and occasional runoff. For many property projects in Mojave, quality fill material must be stable, compactable, and low in organic matter so soil movement and settling are minimized over time.Popular Projects in Mojave This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mojave Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Mojave.
Fill dirt is cheaper per ton and good for raising low spots and grading, but it is not a durable wearing surface. For a driveway in Mojave, you typically use fill dirt to build up and level the base, then cap with crushed rock or gravel for a stable driving surface. Overall installation cost is often lower for fill dirt material alone, but you will still need gravel and compaction to get a long-lasting driveway.
Truckloads vary by truck type; a typical tri-axle dump holds about 10 to 12 tons. Delivered prices depend on supplier location, haul distance, and seasonal demand; many desert-area deliveries fall in a broad range, so check your zip code for an exact quote. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (3 tons) and can give a firm delivered price when you enter your address.
To estimate volume, pick your target depth. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches is about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 11 to 15 tons depending on moisture). Multiply that volume by your delivered price per ton or cubic yard for a material cost estimate, and add compaction and top-surface costs if you plan to finish the driveway. For an exact price, use our calculator or request a quote with your Mojave address.
For 400 sq ft: 2 inches = 6 cubic yards, 4 inches = 12 cubic yards. That converts to roughly 7 to 18 tons depending on depth and soil density. Expect delivery minimums and tri-axle loads to factor into pricing; compaction rental or contractor fees are separate and commonly range from a modest rental for a plate compactor to contractor hourly rates. Ask Hello Gravel for a delivered material quote and plan to budget for compaction and a wearing surface if you want a durable driveway.
You can place fill dirt over existing soil for small grade adjustments, but for a long-lasting driveway you should remove organic topsoil, install a compactable base, and compact in lifts. Fill dirt alone will settle and can rut in vehicle traffic without compaction and a proper rock base. In Mojave's arid climate, compaction is still important because loose soils will shift with vehicle loads and seasonal washouts.
No. Two inches of fill dirt is only suitable for slight leveling, not as a structural base. For a driveway subgrade you should plan on at least 4 to 6 inches of compacted fill or engineered fill, then a 3 to 4 inch compacted layer of crushed rock or gravel on top for a usable driving surface. Depths depend on soil conditions and expected traffic, so heavier use may require thicker base layers.
Use this quick rule: 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet and covers 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, so at 2 inches it covers about 162 sq ft and at 4 inches about 81 sq ft. Fill dirt density varies, but 1 ton is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards, so 1 ton will cover about 115 to 130 sq ft at 2 inches. For precise ordering, calculate cubic yards from area and depth, then convert to tons based on supplier density.
Fill dirt by itself cannot be expected to perform like concrete. Stabilization options include mixing in cement or lime, using engineered fill, or replacing the top layer with compacted crushed rock or engineered base materials. In Mojave and other West California areas you can source stabilized soils or base mixes locally, but these are specialty products and often require contractor application and compaction for best results.
Use gravel, not fill dirt, for drainage features. Clean, coarse gravel or crushed rock allows water to flow and is appropriate for French drains, dry wells, and soakaway pits. Fill dirt will retain water and compact, so it is not a good choice where you want drainage; consider adding a perforated pipe and filter fabric with gravel for a reliable drain solution in Mojave's arid environment.
Local suppliers deliver fill dirt to Mojave, and Hello Gravel provides delivered pricing and scheduling when you enter your address. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but compaction is generally not included and should be arranged with a contractor or rental equipment. For a complete job estimate, request a quote and note any spreading or compaction needs so our team can advise on costs and next steps.
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.
