Why Orland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Orland is a small but growing community with a city population of 14,730 and sits inside a metro area of 2.5+ million residents. With a steady growth rate of 0.70% annually and a temperate climate in Hardiness Zone 8b, housing and landscaping projects are common as homeowners update properties or add outdoor living space. Orland averages 228 sunny days per year and receives 34.25 inches of rain annually, so drainage, grading, and soil stability are frequent concerns for local projects. That combination of sun, seasonal rain, and gradual population growth drives demand for reliable aggregates—especially fill dirt—that help raise low spots, backfill foundations, form drive subbases, and create level planting pads. Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and compaction characteristics reflect Orland's local geology, so homeowners seek consistent material quality and clear delivery options.Popular Projects in Orland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Orland Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Orland.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Orland usually vary by source, screening, and access. Expect a broad range of about $18 to $40 per ton; that translates roughly to $22 to $50 per cubic yard assuming about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Exact pricing depends on your zip code, minimum order (3 tons), and any delivery or spreading charges—check our checkout for a firm quote.
A 1/4-acre (10,890 sq ft) raised 6 inches (0.5 ft) is about 5,445 cubic feet, or roughly 202 cubic yards. Using a typical fill-dirt density of about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, you would need approximately 240 to 283 tons. We recommend ordering an extra 5 to 10% to allow for compaction and settlement.
On clay-heavy sites near Orland, blends that add coarse material (sand or small gravel) improve drainage and reduce long-term shrink-swell problems. Engineered fill or a mix of screened fill dirt with sand/road-base is often recommended instead of raw clayey fill. Talk with our team to source screened or blended products suitable for your project and soil conditions.
Local rules vary, so check with the City of Orland Public Works and Glenn County Planning before ordering large volumes. Grading permits, erosion-control requirements, or stormwater/drainage reviews can apply if you change elevations, alter drainage, or place significant fill. If you’re unsure, call local planning; our sales team can also note permit concerns on your order but cannot issue permits.
Fill dirt alone is generally not the best driveway base because it can compress, rut, and retain moisture. In West California’s hot, dry summers a compacted crushed rock or road-base mix provides a firmer, longer-lasting surface and better load distribution. For driveways, use fill for low spots only and top with properly compacted base rock and a surface layer.
For garage slabs, use a plate compactor for granular fills and a jumping-jack compactor (rammer) for cohesive, clay-rich fills; heavy roller or vibratory plate may be used for large areas. Structural slabs typically require compaction to engineering specs, so follow your structural engineer’s or inspector’s guidance. If you’re unsure, rent equipment locally or hire a contractor experienced with garage-slab prep.
Most settlement occurs in the first few months after placement, but detectable settlement can continue for 6 to 12 months depending on fill depth and initial compaction. Orland’s hot, dry summers can speed surface drying but won’t eliminate deeper consolidation, especially over clay layers. Proper compaction during placement minimizes follow-up fills; plan for a follow-up inspection after seasonal rain events.
Yes — Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and many can provide screened or clean fill dirt options used for landscaping and erosion control. When ordering, request screened material in Order Notes and ask for photos or material specs if you need a specific cleanliness level. Availability and texture vary by local geology, so check your zip code and request details before delivery.
Typical cost components include the material price (per ton or cubic yard), delivery or truck fee, spreading or tailgate service fee (if requested), access or offload surcharges for difficult sites, and any permit or disposal costs. Hello Gravel’s standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST; tailgate spreading is available at the driver’s discretion and may add fees. Ask for a full line-item quote to see what applies to your job.
Fill dirt alone usually does not improve drainage on slopes and can make surface runoff worse if not graded properly. For slope drainage, combine regrading with coarse material (drain rock), French drains, or engineered berms and geotextile underlayers to direct water away from structures. For significant slope or erosion work in Orland, consult a civil engineer or landscaper to design a drainage solution and order the right mix of materials.
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.
