Why Nestor Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Nestor, with a city population of 993,588 and steady growth of 0.40% annually, sits in a temperate, sun-forward climate that shapes local landscaping and construction needs. With 228 sunny days a year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners and contractors here plan projects around both extended dry periods and seasonal storms. That mix of sun and occasional rain drives demand for reliable bulk materials to manage grading, drainage, and foundation preparation. Homeowners seeking to level yards, build raised beds, or prep sites for patios and driveways often turn to fill dirt because it provides a stable, compactable base that reduces settling when properly installed.Popular Projects in Nestor This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Nestor Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Nestor.
Prices vary based on screening, delivery distance, and supplier. In the Nestor area, fill dirt typically runs roughly $12 to $40 per ton delivered, with screened or clean fill toward the higher end. For an exact price for your address and project size, request a quote through Hello Gravel.
"Clean" or screened fill dirt is usually processed to remove large rocks and debris, but it may still contain small gravel or compacted material. If you need very rock-free material for planting or finish grading, request "screened" or "rock-free" fill in your order notes and confirm with the supplier. Keep in mind regional sourcing in Nestor means material texture can vary.
Yes. Fill dirt is typically cheaper because it lacks organic matter and is used mainly for raising grade or structural fill, while topsoil is screened and amended for plant growth. In Nestor, expect topsoil to cost roughly two to three times as much as fill dirt delivered.
Coverage depends on truck size and depth. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards; one cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, so a 12-yard load covers about 3,888 sq ft at 1 inch or about 972 sq ft at 4 inches. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator to convert your desired depth to cubic yards or tons for your Nestor property.
The 70/30 rule commonly refers to mixing about 70% topsoil with 30% compost for good planting soil. It does not apply to fill dirt, which is not intended as a planting medium. If you plan to grow grass or plants in Nestor, place a layer of topsoil or a topsoil/compost mix over compacted fill dirt rather than using fill dirt alone.
Yes — fill dirt is appropriate for raising or leveling grade, especially under driveways, patios, or to correct low spots. For best results, place fill in 6-inch lifts and compact each layer, watch drainage patterns, and keep utility locations in mind; for large or structural fills consider a compaction plan or geotechnical advice. Finish the surface with topsoil if you plan to plant grass or landscaping.
Ten cubic yards of fill dirt in Nestor commonly costs less than topsoil because of lower processing and material value. Roughly speaking, 10 cubic yards of fill dirt may run in the neighborhood of $150 to $500 delivered, while 10 cubic yards of screened topsoil often ranges from $350 to $1,000, depending on quality and delivery.

Small landscaping deliveries for regrading or leveling typically do not require permits, but rules vary by city and county. If your project changes drainage, alters lot elevations significantly, or is near sensitive areas, check with the City of Nestor or San Diego County planning department before bringing in large volumes.
Use the Hello Gravel site to enter your Nestor zip code, choose "Fill Dirt," and use the material calculator to estimate quantity; minimum orders start at 3 tons. Choose your preferred delivery date (standard is 2+ business days) and add order notes for screening or tailgate spreading requests; a driver may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion upon arrival.
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.

After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery.
