Why Ontario Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ontario's city population is 164,270, and the surrounding Riverside-San Bernardino metro area has a population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually and a semi-arid climate (Hardiness Zone 8b), local homeowners are seeing steady demand for grading, lot preparation, and landscaping that require reliable bulk materials. The area averages 228 sunny days per year and receives 34.25 inches of rain annually, so projects must balance dry-season compaction with seasonal runoff management. Fill dirt is a basic, low-organic subsoil material homeowners use to raise grades, fill low spots, build berms, and provide structural backfill where stability and compaction matter most. In a growing market, clear quantity guidance and dependable delivery help homeowners avoid costly delays and rework. In Ontario's climate, regionally sourced fill dirt performs well when properly compacted and placed as engineered backfill beneath hardscapes or behind foundations. Given 34.25 inches of annual rainfall and long sun exposure, well-graded fill dirt reduces settling and helps direct stormwater when installed with proper slope and compaction. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers and contracted haulers to provide predictable ordering, quantity calculators, and scheduled dump-truck delivery. We make it simple to get the right volume of Fill Dirt delivered to your property on a date that fits your project timeline.Popular Projects in Ontario This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ontario Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ontario.
In Ontario (Riverside-San Bernardino metro) delivered fill dirt usually runs between $8 and $20 per cubic yard, which roughly equals $10 to $30 per ton depending on moisture and density. Prices vary by supplier, load size, and delivery distance, so check our site for live pricing and call for a quote if you need exact numbers.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Many local suppliers offer free delivery within a service area, but small orders, long haul distances, or next-day requests may incur fees; the checkout will show any delivery charges for your zip code.
For driveway subgrade and structural fills in the Ontario area aim for 90-95% compaction (standard Proctor equivalent) using mechanical equipment. Place fill in 6-8 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor, vibratory roller, or sheepsfoot roller; moisture conditioning helps achieve target density in hot, dry climates.
Estimate cubic yards first (length x width x depth in feet, divided by 27), then multiply by roughly 1.1 to 1.3 to convert to tons (typical rule: 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 tons for common fill dirt). Example: a 12 ft x 40 ft driveway at 6 inches deep is about 4.4 cubic yards or roughly 5 to 6 tons of fill dirt.
In Ontario's hot, dry climate fill dirt tends to dry, shrink, and produce dust if not compacted and covered; initial settlement is common during the first year. Minimize issues by properly compacting lifts, applying a surface cover (gravel, mulch, or seed), and using dust control measures like watering or tackifiers during installation.
Use generic fill dirt for bulk grade adjustments and non-structural areas where drainage and bearing are not critical. For driveways, footings, and retaining walls choose engineered fill or compacted road base because these materials have controlled gradation and compaction specifications that provide better load-bearing, drainage, and long-term stability.
Small residential top-ups often do not require a permit, but any large grading, changes to drainage, or retaining walls may need a grading permit or plan check from the City of Ontario or San Bernardino County. Always check with the local Building and Planning Department before importing large volumes or altering site grades to avoid compliance issues or required inspections.
Most dump-truck deliveries do not include compaction; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion but compaction is usually a separate service. Hello Gravel can help coordinate local compaction contractors or advise on when to schedule mechanical compaction after delivery for best results.
Expect some settling during the first months to year; plan on a final top dressing (gravel or soil) after initial settlement. For driveways, periodic regrading and adding 1 to 3 inches of surface material every few years may be necessary depending on traffic; ensure drainage is maintained to limit erosion and rutting.
Protect drainage patterns by maintaining positive slopes away from structures and installing swales, french drains, or riprap where concentrated flows occur. Use silt fences during delivery or grading, avoid stockpiling near storm drains, and follow local stormwater rules; these measures reduce erosion, sediment runoff, and potential code issues during occasional heavy SoCal storms.
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.
