Why Paicines Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Paicines is a small community of 480 residents situated within the broader West California metro area of 2.5+ million, experiencing steady, measured growth at 0.70% annually. The local climate — about 228/year sunny days, average annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b — supports active outdoor projects but also requires materials that perform in both sun and seasonal moisture. Homeowners here commonly take on grading, driveway base, foundation backfill, and terrace projects that demand consistent, compactable fill. Because mistakes in site preparation lead to expensive rework, Paicines residents look for clear material descriptions, dependable delivery, and aggregates that match local soil characteristics. Regional sourcing matters: local fill dirt reflects nearby geology, so choosing the right composition and compaction properties is key to long-term stability. Fill dirt is a practical choice in Paicines for raising grade, backfilling foundations, and creating a stable base for hardscapes and lawns. Low-organic, well-graded fill reduces settling and performs better through the area's rainy periods and sunny growing season. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers to provide regionally sourced fill dirt, clear descriptions of composition, and scheduled delivery on your timeline. We offer tools to calculate quantities, let you choose delivery dates, and coordinate safe dump-truck delivery so you get the right material where and when you need it.Popular Projects in Paicines This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Paicines Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Paicines.
Typical delivered fill dirt prices to rural Paicines often fall in a range because haul distance and supplier rates vary; expect material plus delivery to total roughly $10 to $35 per ton. Short local hauls from nearby suppliers on the West California network will be at the lower end, while long hauls from distant quarries, heavy truck access restrictions, or steep driveways increase cost. Use Hello Gravel’s quote tool or call our team for a precise price for your zip code.
Hello Gravel works with a network of trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve the Paicines / West California area; available suppliers vary by zip code and season. Our platform minimum order is 3 tons, though some suppliers or quarries may set higher minimums or charged truck minimums for remote deliveries — we show any supplier minimums up front during checkout. If you need larger truckloads or a specific soil type, contact our team to confirm supplier availability and minimums.
Paicines sits in San Benito County with valley and foothill alluvial soils that can include loams and clayey layers; Mediterranean wet winters and dry summers affect moisture content. Fill placed during the dry season will tend to shrink and settle as it wets and compacts in the rainy season, while clay-rich fills can expand and retain water in winter, increasing settlement risk. To reduce problems, place fill in controlled lifts, compact as you go, and avoid placing loose fill right before heavy seasonal rains.
For engineered residential fills, aim for about 90% of standard Proctor relative compaction; for simple yard fill less control may be acceptable but compacting in lifts is still important. Common equipment for Paicines projects includes a plate compactor or small vibratory roller for lifts 4 to 8 inches thick; for larger fills or heavier loads use a sheep’s foot roller or larger smooth drum roller operated by a contractor. If you have cohesive (clayey) fill, moisture conditioning before compaction is often required to reach target density.
Permitting depends on the scope of the work: small yard fills are often permitted, but bulk grading, changes to drainage, or moving significant volumes usually trigger county permits. San Benito County Planning and Public Works handle grading, erosion control, and stormwater rules; projects that alter slopes, exceed specific cubic-yard thresholds, or affect wetlands will typically need a permit and erosion-control measures. Before ordering large quantities, contact the county planning office or check Hello Gravel’s resources for guidance so you avoid rework or fines.
Fill dirt is commonly used for raising grades or as structural subgrade but is not an ideal finished driveway surface; for yard fill plan on the depth you need (often 6 to 12 inches for landscaping lifts, deeper for regrading). Convert area and depth to cubic yards (area in square feet times depth in feet, divided by 27), then multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to 1.5 to get tons for fill dirt in this region. Example: a 1,000 sq ft area at 6 inches (0.5 ft) = 18.5 cu yd × 1.4 ≈ 26 tons; order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for settlement and compaction.
No — fill dirt is fine-grained material used to raise grade or fill voids and is not designed to provide a stable wearing surface for driveways. Crushed rock and road base are angular, compactable aggregates that create strength and drainage for driveways; road base is specifically graded and compacted for structural support. For a Paicines driveway, use fill dirt only to build to subgrade elevation, then install several inches of road base or compacted crushed rock as the structural base and a wearing surface on top.
Expect some settlement in the first months to year after placing fill dirt, especially after winter rains; low spots may form and require topping or regrading. For landscaping fills, plan to inspect and add material or regrade once within the first 6 to 18 months; for areas under hard use, perform more frequent checks and add material as needed. Good initial compaction and erosion control reduce maintenance needs over time.
Yes — Paicines has wet winters and dry summers, so heavy rains can delay deliveries, make sites muddy, and prevent proper compaction; schedule major fills for late spring through early fall when possible. During or after rainy periods, hauling restrictions or additional fees may apply due to muddy access roads and rutting risks, and drivers may refuse unsafe drop locations. In high-risk wildfire periods, deliveries typically continue but check local road and county restrictions and plan for safe staging away from fire zones.
Contractor rates vary by job size and access, but in the West California/Paicines area expect small equipment plus operator rates commonly in the range of $75 to $150 per hour; day rates for an excavator or skid steer with operator can run roughly $600 to $1,200. Compaction and grading crews often price by the hour or by project; ask contractors for a written estimate that breaks out labor, equipment, and haul/spread charges. Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and contractors or provide material-only pricing if you prefer to hire your own crew.
