Why Moreno Valley Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Moreno Valley, with a city population of 187,588 and located in the Riverside-San Bernardino metro area of 2.5+ million, is growing steadily at 0.70% annually. The region sees 228 sunny days each year, averages 34.25 inches of rainfall, and sits in hardiness zone 8b — conditions that support ongoing residential and infrastructure development. That steady growth and warm climate drive demand for reliable site work materials: homeowners and small contractors routinely need materials for grading, backfill, raised beds, and foundation prep. For many projects, choosing the right aggregate up front prevents delays and reduces future maintenance, so local buyers seek quality, consistent materials that match Moreno Valley’s soil and drainage needs.Popular Projects in Moreno Valley This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Moreno Valley Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Moreno Valley.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than decorative gravel or crushed rock in Moreno Valley because it is unprocessed soil used for grading and backfill. Prices vary by supplier and moisture content, but expect lower per-ton costs for fill dirt; get a local quote through Hello Gravel to compare exact rates and delivery fees.
Costs fluctuate with local supply and demand, but in the Riverside-San Bernardino area one ton of loose fill dirt commonly falls in a broad range (for example, roughly $10 to $40 per ton). For an exact price for Moreno Valley, request a quote on Hello Gravel — remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees may apply.
Fill dirt is natural soil, often subsoil with little organic matter, used to raise or level ground and for backfill. Gravel is crushed rock used for drainage and surface stability; gravel drains well and can carry weight, while fill dirt compacts for structural support but does not provide good drainage on its own.
A 50 lb bag of fill dirt contains about 0.02 to 0.03 cubic yards. At a 2-inch depth it will cover roughly 3 to 4 square feet, so bagged fill dirt is practical for tiny patch jobs but not efficient for larger projects in Moreno Valley.
It depends on depth: for 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches you need about 4.1 cubic yards (≈5 tons), at 4 inches about 8.3 cubic yards (≈10 tons), and at 6 inches about 12.3 cubic yards (≈15 tons). Use 1.1–1.3 tons per cubic yard as a rule of thumb for Moreno Valley soils and order a little extra for compaction and grade adjustments.
Price for a dump truck load varies by truck size, load weight, and supplier; a typical tri-axle load in the Riverside area might cost anywhere from a few hundred to several hundred dollars. Contact Hello Gravel for current, location-specific pricing and to compare suppliers and delivery options for Moreno Valley.
A common tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 12 to 18 tons of loose fill dirt, depending on compaction and local weight limits. Smaller trucks or trailers carry less; tell us your access constraints and we will match a truck size for Moreno Valley deliveries.
Ordering by the cubic yard or ton from local suppliers and scheduling deliveries during weekdays usually keeps costs down, and consolidating needs into one larger delivery lowers the per-ton price. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers, see transparent pricing, and avoid extra hauling or broker fees.
You can add fill dirt over existing soil, but for best results remove vegetation and spread fill in thin lifts (6 inches or less) with compaction between lifts to prevent settling. In Moreno Valley's climate and soils, proper compaction and preparation are important to avoid future low spots or drainage issues.
No — fill dirt is not suitable for drainage because it often contains fine particles that hold water. For drainage trenches or French drains in Moreno Valley, use clean gravel or crushed rock at the bottom for flow, then cover with filter fabric and backfill with suitable soil if needed.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to level yards; spread it in layers and compact each layer to reduce future settling. For larger grade changes or where load-bearing is required, consult a contractor or ask Hello Gravel for recommendations on compaction and whether imported fill or engineered fill is better for your Moreno Valley site.
No, 2 inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway base. Driveways require several inches of compacted structural base (typically 4 to 8 inches of compactable fill and 3 to 4 inches of gravel or asphalt on top); fill dirt alone does not provide the drainage or strength needed for vehicle traffic in Moreno Valley.
Coverage depends on depth: at 2 inches you need about 0.6 cubic yards (≈0.7–0.8 tons), at 4 inches about 1.2 cubic yards (≈1.3–1.6 tons), and at 6 inches about 1.8 cubic yards (≈2.0–2.4 tons). Always round up for compaction and order at least Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum for deliveries to Moreno Valley.
A 7x14 dump trailer typically holds about 4 to 6 cubic yards of fill dirt depending on side height and how high you load it. That equals roughly 5 to 8 tons for Moreno Valley soils, but weight varies with moisture so check truck/trailer limits before ordering.
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.
