A standard tri‑axle dump truck load (roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards) usually costs several hundred to low‑thousand dollars delivered depending on material and distance; for example, at $45/yd a 10‑yd load is about $450 before any delivery fees. Coverage for a 10‑yd load is about 1,620 sq ft at 2" depth, 1,080 sq ft at 3" depth, and 810 sq ft at 4" depth. Ask Hello Gravel for a firm price for your address and exact truck size since capacities and pricing vary by supplier.

You need about 0.62 cu yd for 100 sq ft at 2" depth, 0.93 cu yd at 3", and 1.24 cu yd at 4". For a quick example, if delivered topsoil is $50/yd in Ontario, a 100 sq ft area at 3" would need 0.93 yd x $50 = about $46 (material cost only), plus any delivery or handling charges. Use our material calculator or contact us with your zip code for an exact quote including delivery.

A single cubic yard will often fit in a full‑size pickup bed if packed carefully, but many suppliers and Hello Gravel have a minimum order and may not offer single‑yd deliveries via dump truck. Drop locations, driveway access, overhead wires, and HOA rules also affect whether a drop can be made. Enter your address at checkout or call our team so we can confirm minimums and the best delivery option for your property.

Hello Gravel coordinates bulk delivery and driver tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver's discretion; request it at checkout but note there are no guarantees. Professional spreading and installation beyond tailgate work are typically arranged with local contractors and commonly charge either an hourly rate ($60 to $120/hour) or a per‑cubic‑yard fee (roughly $15 to $50/yd) depending on site complexity. Contact our sales team for referrals to local installers and to get quotes for spreading or full installation.

Yes, fall is generally a good time for adding topsoil and establishing cool‑season lawns in Ontario because temperatures moderate and winter rains (if they arrive) help germination. For sod installation, fall through early spring offers cooler root‑establishment conditions; for seeding, aim for late fall so seeds can take advantage of cooler weather and winter moisture. We can supply material now, but arranging installation and irrigation plans with a local landscaper will improve success.

Hello Gravel focuses on supplying and delivering materials; for grading, turf removal, or detailed site prep we can connect you with local contractors. Typical costs in the region vary: turf/sod removal often runs $0.30 to $1.00 per sq ft, light grading $0.05 to $0.30 per sq ft, and professional soil testing $15 to $60 per sample depending on lab scope. Contact our team for contractor referrals and to include prep needs in your overall project quote.

Yes. Screened or screened, amended topsoil is finer, free of large debris, and better for lawns, vegetable gardens, and planting beds; it usually costs more than raw fill. Raw fill or fill dirt is coarser and best used for bulk grading or fill where planting quality is not required. For mulch, choose shredded bark or hardwood for long‑lasting beds, and finer compost or bagged mixes for vegetable gardens; tell us your project and we will recommend the right grade.

For medium to large projects, bulk dump‑truck delivery is usually the most cost‑effective on a per‑cubic‑yard basis. Palletized bags offer convenience and tidy delivery but cost more per cubic yard, and small pickup loads are practical for tiny jobs but not economical for larger needs. Hello Gravel negotiates local rates and may have bulk discounts; enter your zip code or call us to compare options for your project size.

One cubic yard is about 27 cubic feet, which translates to roughly 7 to 9 standard wheelbarrow loads depending on wheelbarrow size. To minimize delivery costs and driveway disruption, most homeowners find 3 to 10 cubic yards a practical range: 3–4 yd for small garden upgrades, 5–10 yd for front or backyard topdressing, and 10+ yd for larger lawn or grading jobs. Check minimum order rules for your zip code and chat with our team for a recommendation tailored to your property.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
