Frequently Asked Questions - North Tustin Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in North Tustin.
Fill dirt is natural soil with low organic matter used to raise grade, fill holes, or build up low areas. In North Tustin it is commonly used to level yards, create foundations for lawns and patios, and raise landscape beds, but it is not usually the best surface for a driveway or structural pad without additional base material or compaction.
Delivered prices vary with haul distance, material quality, and season, but in the North Tustin area a typical range is about $20 to $40 per cubic yard (roughly $30 to $60 per ton) for basic fill dirt. Exact price for your job is available when you check your zip code on Hello Gravel and include delivery specifics and any spreading request.
Measure the area (length x width) and desired raise depth in feet, then multiply to get cubic feet and divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Example: raising a 20 ft x 10 ft area by 6 inches requires (20x10x0.5)/27 = about 3.7 cubic yards; add 10-15% extra for compaction and settling when ordering.
Hello Gravel works with local Orange County suppliers and haulers that service North Tustin; availability and exact suppliers vary by zip code. Minimums generally reflect truck capacity and Hello Gravel’s policy (minimum order 3 tons); typical truckloads are tri-axle dump trucks — if you need less than a truckload, check our site for small-quantity options or contact our team for a quote.
Standard lead time is 2+ business days with next-day available before noon CST for an added fee; delivery fees depend on distance and access. Deliveries are usually by tri-axle dump trucks (private residential access permitting) that hold roughly a truckload; narrow streets, overhead wires, or steep driveways can limit truck choice and may affect fees or require offload planning.
Permit needs depend on scope and location: small yard raises and minor grading often do not require a permit, but significant grade changes, work affecting drainage, retaining walls, or creating more than minimal cut/fill can trigger county grading permits. Because North Tustin is in unincorporated Orange County, check the County of Orange Planning/Building Division and any local HOA rules before importing large amounts of fill.
For driveways and pads in North Tustin’s dry-summer/wet-winter climate, a well-graded granular material or engineered fill is preferable to loose topsoil; basic fill dirt can be used as bulk fill but should be capped with compactable base rock or crusher-run for strength and drainage. If you plan to drive on it, consider road base or compacted aggregate for the top lifts rather than relying on plain fill dirt alone.
Fill dirt tends to compact and reduce permeability, so while it can raise low spots, it will not alone solve drainage issues and can make runoff worse if not graded properly. For drainage improvements, combine fill with engineered base, proper slope, drainage swales or pipes, and vegetation; always design to direct water away from foundations and neighboring properties.
Compact fill dirt in 6-8 inch lifts using a plate compactor for small areas or a roller for larger loads, targeting high density for reduced settlement. Some settlement is normal over months after placement; properly compacted fill will have minimal long-term settlement, but unconsolidated fills can continue to settle and may require adding more material later.
Use basic fill dirt for non-structural bulk filling, landscaping, and raising grades where structural strength is not critical. For driveways, building pads, or any load-bearing application, choose engineered fill or compacted road base because those materials are designed to support loads and limit settlement and drainage problems.
On slopes, use terracing or retaining structures, install erosion-control fabric or mulch, plant deep-rooted groundcover, and consider silt fences and straw wattles during construction to limit sediment runoff. Because North Tustin has wet winters, protecting fresh fills before the rainy season is important to prevent erosion and preserve slope stability.
Ask contractors for a current certificate of liability insurance, references for similar jobs, and clear terms about responsibility for spreading, compaction, and site damage. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery with third-party haulers and suppliers; confirm in writing who is responsible for placement, any spreading, and post-delivery cleanup before work begins.
Typical local projects include raising backyard grade to improve drainage, building a level base for patios or garden sheds, and adding fill behind new retaining walls to create terraces. For structural pads and driveways many North Tustin homeowners combine bulk fill dirt from deliveries with compacted road base or engineered fill to get stable, long-lasting results.

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.
