Why Oakville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oakville has a city population of 177 and sits within a metro area with a population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually and a temperate climate (annual rainfall: 34.32 inches, 228/year sunny days, hardiness zone 8b), local homeowners are seeing steady demand for small-scale grading, yard leveling, and foundation backfill work. Even with modest lot sizes, projects that reshape grades, raise garden beds, or build out hardscape pads require reliable, low-organic fill dirt that compacts predictably.

Frequently Asked Questions - Oakville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Oakville.
Fill dirt is mostly subsoil with few rocks used to raise ground or fill holes; it compacts well and is not designed for drainage. Gravel is crushed rock sized to allow water to pass and provide structural support for drives and walkways. Use fill dirt to build grade, then cap with gravel or base material when you need drainage or a stable surface.
Generally yes — raw fill dirt is usually less expensive per cubic yard than crushed or washed gravel because it is less processed. Prices vary by local supply and hauling distance in rural Oakville; long hauls or small loads can make any material cost more. Get a local quote through Hello Gravel for an exact comparison.
Delivery cost depends on distance to the supplier, truck type, access, and order size. For Oakville's rural setting, expect delivery fees higher than in urban areas; many jobs will be quoted as material plus a delivery charge. Use Hello Gravel’s checkout or call our team for a specific delivery estimate for your zip code.
Cost varies with truck size, material type, and travel distance. A tri-axle dump truck in our network typically carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt; final price will include material plus delivery. For a firm number, request a quote — we factor local supplier rates and Oakville travel into the estimate.
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and will cover 81 sq ft at a 4-inch depth. At 2 inches it covers about 162 sq ft, and at 6 inches about 54 sq ft. Use these figures to estimate how many cubic yards you need for your Oakville project, or try our material calculator for an exact amount.
Visually, 1 cubic yard is a cube 3 feet on each side. It equals about nine standard wheelbarrow loads, which helps when planning labor for spreading and compacting. For large jobs in Oakville you will typically order multiple cubic yards delivered by dump truck.
Not recommended without proper preparation. Fill dirt should be compacted and a suitable base (crushed rock or base material) installed before placing gravel to avoid settling and drainage problems. In Oakville’s rural conditions, contractors often compact fill dirt in layers and add a geotextile or base rock for longer-lasting driveways.
Yes — gravel is commonly used in drainage applications because it lets water pass through. For a drainage trench or French drain, gravel with a perforated pipe and landscape fabric performs much better than fill dirt. Use fill dirt to restore grade around drainage features, but not inside the drain itself.
Use the formula: (length in ft x width in ft x depth in ft) / 27 = cubic yards. For example, a 20 ft by 10 ft area at 4 inches (0.33 ft) depth needs (20 x 10 x 0.33) / 27 ≈ 2.4 cubic yards. Always add 5-10% for compaction and settlement, especially in Oakville’s variable soils.
Some big-box stores sell bulk soil or bagged dirt, but availability and delivery options vary, especially in rural areas like Oakville. Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and haulers to provide material, scheduling, and often better local delivery options. For larger or scheduled jobs, our platform usually gives faster local quotes and delivery windows than arranging store pick-up.
Hello Gravel’s platform has a 3-ton minimum order, but in rural Oakville some suppliers prefer full truckloads due to travel distance. That can mean minimum deliveries of roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards for a tri-axle truck, and delivery fees may be higher than in town. Request a quote so we can check nearby suppliers, confirm minimums, and show any delivery charges for your address.
Some local suppliers will deliver small loads, but in rural Oakville this depends on haul distance and truck availability; small-load fees are common. Installation of a compacted base is typically a separate contractor service — some haulers offer tailgate spreading but full base installation is not guaranteed. We recommend requesting installation options in your order notes or asking our team to connect you with local contractors who can compact and install a proper base.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
