Frequently Asked Questions - Palmdale Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Palmdale.
Fill dirt is native soil used to raise or level ground and usually contains finer particles and some organic matter. Gravel is crushed stone or rounded rock used for drainage and surfaces. For Palmdale projects, use fill dirt to build up low spots and gravel where you need drainage or a stable driving surface.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than gravel because it is often locally available and less processed. Prices vary by source and delivery distance in the Palmdale area, so check Hello Gravel for live quotes by zip code to see current pricing and delivery fees.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to level yards, especially for raising low areas or creating gentle grades. In Palmdale's high desert, you should compact each lift and avoid using untested fill under patios or structures; contractors often place and compact multiple 4 to 6 inch lifts for stable results.
Volume depends on depth. For 1,000 sq ft: 2 inches = about 6.2 cubic yards, 4 inches = about 12.3 cubic yards, and 6 inches = about 18.5 cubic yards. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or tell our team the target depth for an exact yardage recommendation.
A common tri-axle dump truck used by Hello Gravel suppliers carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. Exact capacity depends on truck type and local hauling rules, and some suppliers work with larger or smaller trucks for site access reasons.
Costs change with market conditions, source, and distance, but a rough local range for delivered fill dirt in Southern California can be around $15 to $40 per cubic yard. For a tri-axle load (10 to 14 cubic yards) that means you might expect a wide range; get an accurate delivered price by entering your Palmdale zip code on Hello Gravel or calling our sales team.
You can put gravel over dirt for driveways or paths, but performance depends on the underlying soil. In Palmdale, compacting or adding a layer of clean fill or base material under the gravel helps prevent settling and washouts; otherwise gravel can sink into loose or organic fill over time.
Yes, gravel-filled holes or French drains are effective for localized drainage if installed with proper slope and filter fabric to prevent soil migration. In Palmdale's arid climate, consider how runoff concentrates during storms and use perforated pipe or geotextile as needed for long-term performance.
Grass can grow on fill dirt, but success depends on the fill quality and depth of topsoil. In Palmdale you may need to add several inches of screened topsoil or compost over the fill and check irrigation, because native fill often lacks organic matter and water-holding capacity needed for lawns.
Stabilize fill by placing it in thin lifts (4 to 6 inches), mechanically compacting each lift, and using engineered fill where strength is required. For high-load areas consider geotextile, crushed rock base under the fill, or consulting a local engineer; Palmdale's dry soils also benefit from compaction testing for critical work.
Yes, many local contractors and grading companies in the Palmdale area can deliver, place, grade, and compact fill dirt. Tell Hello Gravel at checkout that you need contractor services and we can help connect you with local suppliers or recommend that you hire a contractor for grading and compaction work.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
