Why Parker Dam Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Parker Dam, with a city population of 138 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million, sits in a climate with 228 sunny days annually, 34.25 inches annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b. The town's growth rate of 0.00% annually belies steady local investment in property upkeep and small-scale construction — homeowners and contractors still manage grading, drainage, and foundation prep on infill lots and seasonal projects. In this setting, quality fill dirt matters: it creates stable subgrades, corrects elevations, and supports landscaping decisions that must perform through long sunny stretches and moderate rains. Residents often seek dependable, locally sourced fill dirt to reduce rework, improve compaction performance, and protect driveways, terraces, and foundations from erosion and settling.Popular Projects in Parker Dam This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Parker Dam Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Parker Dam.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for an extra fee depending on supplier. Because Parker Dam is a small, remote community, expect possible delivery surcharges or fuel fees from local haulers; many orders in nearby population centers qualify for free delivery, but check your quote for exact charges.
Prices vary with local supply and haul distance; in the West California (Parker Dam) area fill dirt commonly ranges roughly $10 to $30 per ton, or about $8 to $22 per cubic yard. Remote location and seasonal demand can push prices to the higher end, so get a live quote on Hello Gravel for an accurate price for your zip code.
Hello Gravel connects you with local San Bernardino County suppliers and nearby aggregate yards that service Parker Dam. Typical lead times are 2-7 business days; next-day or same-week deliveries are sometimes possible depending on supplier inventory and truck availability.
Hot, dry conditions in Parker Dam dry out loose fill and make compaction harder without moisture control. Suppliers or contractors often pre-wet or lightly water lifts before compaction; too-dry fill will be dusty and may not achieve target density, while occasional rains can temporarily help compaction but also cause tracking and wash.
San Bernardino County may require permits for significant grading, importing large volumes of fill, or work in floodplains and near septic systems. Rules vary by parcel and project scope; contact the San Bernardino County Land Use Services or your local planning office before ordering large volumes to confirm permit requirements.
For driveways, contractors typically place fill dirt in 6- to 8-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller until firm. Expect to make multiple passes (often 3-6) per lift depending on equipment, moisture, and material; many pros recommend using a crushed-rock base on top of compacted fill for a stable wearing surface.
Cubic yards = area (1,000 sq ft) * depth (inches) / 324. That equals about 12.35 yd3 for 4 inches, 18.52 yd3 for 6 inches, and 37.04 yd3 for 12 inches. Using a typical fill-dirt density of about 1.1 to 1.4 tons/yd3, expect roughly 14 to 17 tons for 4 inches, 20 to 26 tons for 6 inches, and 41 to 52 tons for 12 inches; always order a bit extra for compaction and settlement.
Parker Dam's arid climate means quarries operate year-round, but local availability and prices can shift with fuel costs, regional demand, and rare seasonal storms that limit quarry or road access. Summer heat can increase demand for landscaping projects, while heavy rain events (infrequent) or winter maintenance at quarries can temporarily tighten availability and raise prices.
Fill dirt is an inexpensive way to raise grade or fill low spots but is not a durable wearing surface for driveways in Parker Dam's climate. Contractors usually recommend compacted fill to set grade, topped with crushed rock or engineered base for drainage and long-term strength; though cheaper up-front, using only fill dirt for a driveway often leads to rutting and maintenance.
Yes, many local contractors prefer locally sourced fill dirt because it better matches native soils and reduces trucking costs in remote areas like Parker Dam. Local material can also perform more predictably for grading and drainage, but for structural needs or poor soils they may still specify engineered fill or a compacted rock base.
Measure area and depth, use Hello Gravel's calculator to estimate quantities, and include site access notes at checkout for safe dump placement. Request delivery dates, ask about tailgate spreading (drivers may do it at their discretion), and contact our team if you need faster lead times or help deciding if fill dirt or a structural base is the right choice.
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.
