Why Murrieta Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Murrieta has a city population of 127,005 and sits inside the growing Riverside-San Bernardino region (metro area population 2.5+ million). With a growth rate of 1.55% annually, local building and landscaping activity is steady—new homes, yard regrades, retaining walls, and driveway work are common. Murrieta's climate averages 34.32 inches of rain per year and 228 sunny days annually, and it falls in hardiness zone 8b; that mix of sun and episodic rain affects soil stability and landscaping choices. Homeowners need dependable aggregates to manage grading, raise low spots, prepare building pads, and limit erosion after seasonal storms, which is why quality Fill Dirt is a frequent choice for foundational and grading work.Popular Projects in Murrieta This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Murrieta Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Murrieta.
Prices vary by supplier and material quality, but in the Riverside-San Bernardino area fill dirt commonly runs about $15 to $35 per cubic yard delivered (roughly $12 to $28 per ton, depending on density). Final price depends on haul distance, minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), and site access; check your zip code on Hello Gravel to get an exact quote for Murrieta.
You can buy bulk fill dirt through Hello Gravel, which connects you to local Murrieta suppliers and scheduled dump-truck delivery. Typical cost per cubic yard in this region is about $15 to $35 delivered, but exact pricing and availability vary by zip code and supplier so use the material calculator or Get a Quote on our site.
Fill dirt alone is not an ideal driveway surface in Murrieta's clay-prone soils because it can settle and hold moisture, leading to rutting and poor load-bearing. Contractors typically recommend a compacted engineered base (class II road base or crushed rock) topped with a suitable wearing surface rather than relying on raw fill dirt as the final layer.
A 20 x 30 ft area at 6 inches deep equals 300 cubic feet, or about 11.1 cubic yards. Using a common estimate of 1.2 tons per cubic yard, that is roughly 13.3 tons of fill dirt; plan to order at least 15 tons to allow for compaction, settlement, and waste.
Yes, many local contractors use fill dirt for bulk grading to achieve desired slopes, but they also stress proper compaction and finish grading with material designed for drainage. In Murrieta's climate and clay soils, contractors often pair fill dirt with drainage rock, swales, and proper slopes away from foundations to prevent water issues.
Fill dirt's longevity depends on compaction, traffic, and whether it is covered with a protective surface. Properly compacted fill used as subgrade beneath a crushed-rock or paved surface can perform well for many years, but loose or uncovered fill dirt will settle and erode more quickly, especially under vehicle loads and seasonal rain.
Fill dirt can be used in Murrieta, but it responds to moisture changes: dry heat can cause shrinkage while heavy rains can lead to erosion or swelling in clay-rich fills. To cope with the local climate, contractors recommend compaction in lifts, adding a protective gravel or surface layer, and implementing good drainage to reduce erosion and moisture retention.
For backfill behind a retaining wall, crushed rock or clean drain rock is generally better because it permits water to flow through and reduces hydrostatic pressure on the wall. Using fill dirt as backfill can increase pressure and settle over time; if you must use fill dirt, include a proper drainage layer (rock, drain pipe, and geotextile) behind the wall.
Deliveries are subject to a minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) and may incur additional fees for long hauls, tight access, narrow streets, or required permits in some neighborhoods. Drivers may also decline tailgate spreading if conditions are unsafe; provide delivery notes and photos at checkout so suppliers can confirm access and any extra charges before delivery.
Labor and equipment costs vary with site access, project size, and local rates, but spreading and compacting a small residential area in Murrieta typically ranges from about $300 to $1,200. For larger jobs or where heavy equipment is needed, expect higher costs; get multiple local quotes and confirm whether compaction testing or engineered fill specifications are required.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
