Why Phelan Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Phelan is a growing community of 17,400 residents situated in a sunny, semi-arid part of West California. With a metro area of 2.5+ million people and a steady 0.70% annual growth rate, demand for residential grading, lot prep, and landscape improvements is rising. The local climate (hardiness zone 8b, about 228/year sunny days, and 35.50 inches of annual rainfall) encourages outdoor projects year-round but also requires materials that handle both sun and episodic rain. Homeowners and contractors in Phelan look for dependable aggregates to finish grading, build up foundations, and create erosion-resistant berms—so consistent, locally sourced Fill Dirt is in regular demand. Fill Dirt is the go-to material for raising grade, filling depressions, and building structural beds before paving or landscaping in Phelan’s environment. Because of regional soil variations and periodic runoff from rain events, properly compacted Fill Dirt reduces settling and helps manage drainage when paired with geotextile or gravel where needed. Hello Gravel simplifies sourcing by connecting you to local suppliers and dump-truck delivery, providing transparent pricing, scheduling options, and access to material that reflects Phelan’s geology so your project gets the right dirt at the right time.Popular Projects in Phelan This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Phelan Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Phelan.
Delivered cost for a single tri-axle dump truck of clean fill dirt in Phelan typically ranges from roughly $250 to $800, depending on volume, distance from the quarry, and site access. To order through Hello Gravel, check your zip code on our site, use the material calculator to estimate quantity, pick a delivery date at checkout (minimum order 3 tons), and we will connect you with local suppliers and haulers for a firm quote.
Most tri-axle dump trucks in Phelan carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which converts to roughly 12 to 16 short tons depending on moisture and soil density. If you need more precise conversion for pricing or compaction planning, ask the supplier for the specific yards-to-tons used in their quote.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards of fill dirt (1,000 x 0.5 ft = 500 cubic feet ÷ 27). That quantity typically weighs in the neighborhood of 20 to 25 short tons depending on moisture; order slightly more to account for settling and compaction (10% extra is common).
Budget the fill dirt component by calculating area and desired raise: for a 20-ft long section (assume 10 ft wide) raised 6 inches you need about 3.7 cubic yards, or roughly 4.5 to 5 tons. Expect delivered fill dirt costs in Phelan to vary, so multiply cubic yards by your local delivered price and add a buffer for compaction, hauling over rough access, or small-load fees.
Two inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway; fill dirt is typically used as a subgrade or to build up low spots rather than a wearing surface. For a stable driveway base you should plan on structural fill and base layers: usually 4 to 8 inches of compacted engineered fill or subgrade preparation plus a 4 to 6 inch gravel base, with compaction in 4-inch lifts recommended.
Drivers may be able to tailgate-spread small amounts of fill dirt at their discretion, but spreading and compaction are not guaranteed services. Mechanical compaction usually requires a compactor and is a contractor service; if you need compaction arranged, request it before checkout and ask local suppliers or contractors for a combined quote.
You can stabilize soil with additives like cement, lime, or commercial stabilizers, but that is a specialized process requiring proper mixing, moisture control, and testing to be effective. Local contractors in the Phelan area offer soil stabilization services, and we recommend getting a site-specific recommendation before attempting to mix stabilizers yourself.
Order fill dirt on Hello Gravel by entering your Phelan zip code to see local suppliers and delivery options; our platform shows quotes from multiple vetted haulers so you can compare price, delivery window, and material notes. Always ask the supplier to confirm the material is 'clean fill' (free of vegetation and debris), request pictures if needed, and confirm access requirements to avoid extra fees.
Phelan is in unincorporated San Bernardino County, so larger grading or fill projects may require county permits or a grading plan, especially for changes to drainage or large volumes of material. Check HOA rules if you live in a community with an association, and consider hiring a local contractor who can confirm permit needs and handle filings on your behalf.
Tell suppliers the exact delivery address, preferred drop location, any driveway or gate access limits, and whether you need clean, screened fill dirt with no organic material. Also state the required compacted depth and intended use (backfill, grade raise, driveway subgrade), provide clear contact info for the driver, and note any site hazards or steep approaches so the hauler can prepare.
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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
