Why Phillipsville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Phillipsville is a small community of 142 residents in West California that sits within a metro region of 2.5+ million people and is experiencing steady development with a local growth rate of 0.80% annually. With 228 sunny days/year, annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, and a hardiness zone of 8b, homeowners here balance dry summers with seasonal precipitation—conditions that drive demand for reliable grading, drainage, and yard-building work. Whether it’s raising low spots, preparing a base for patios, or backfilling around foundations, quality fill dirt matters: poorly sourced material can settle, impede drainage, or complicate plantings. That’s why Phillipsville homeowners and small contractors prioritize dense, clean fill dirt that compacts well and complements local soils for long-term stability.Popular Projects in Phillipsville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Phillipsville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Phillipsville.
Delivered price in Phillipsville varies with supplier, haul distance, and material quality. Expect a broad range; locally sourced fill dirt often runs in the lower-cost segment compared with structural aggregates, and Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons with standard delivery available in 2+ business days. Additional charges may apply for long driveways, tight access, very small loads, or next-day delivery requests. For an exact delivered price to your Phillipsville address, check our site with your zip code or contact our team for a quote.
Fill dirt suppliers serving Phillipsville commonly include local gravel pits and county haulers in Humboldt County. Lead times depend on stock and haul scheduling, but typical delivery windows are 2 to 7 business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed early and for an added fee. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and shows estimated lead times at checkout so you can pick a date that works for your project.
Possible restrictions depend on Humboldt County and specific road conditions into Phillipsville, including bridge weight limits, narrow or seasonal roads, and private drive restrictions. Large loads on trucks may require routing or permits if bridges or county roads have posted limits; some private roads and steep properties may be inaccessible without smaller trucks. Before ordering, tell us about driveway access and any county road crossings so we can review potential permits and plan the right truck.
Fill dirt is commonly used in Phillipsville for grade raises and backfill, but it is not a corrosion-resistant or structural aggregate. Freeze/thaw is rarely a major issue in coastal Phillipsville, but the area’s high rainfall and potential salt spray near the coast mean good drainage is essential to avoid saturation and erosion. For locations exposed to salt or standing water, consider mixes with better drainage or a layer of rock beneath topsoil; we can help pair the right local material to your site conditions.
For small residential patches, a plate compactor or vibrating tamper can achieve reasonable compaction, while larger areas typically need a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller. Professional compaction is commonly required for structural work such as under driveways, patios, or slabs; many local inspectors will ask for compaction to meet code or an engineered fill report. If your project is load-bearing or inspected, plan for professional compaction and testing to avoid future settlement.
A 20 x 30 ft area at 6 inches deep equals about 11.1 cubic yards (300 cubic feet ÷ 27). Depending on moisture and soil type, fill dirt typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard; using 1.3 tons/yd3 as an estimate, you would need roughly 14 to 15 tons. Local vendors, including suppliers we work with, will quote either cubic yards or tons; Hello Gravel shows both units and helps convert based on local material density.
Fill dirt is the least expensive option for raising grade and finishing low spots, but it does not provide the stable, load-bearing surface required for a driveway. Crushed rock or road base is the better choice for driveway construction because it compacts into a durable, load-bearing layer that sheds water. For many Phillipsville driveways the typical approach is to use fill dirt only for bulk grade adjustments and then cap with road base or crushed rock for the driving surface.
Fill dirt used alone as a driveway base tends to settle and rut more quickly than engineered base materials, so maintenance like regrading and adding fresh material may be needed every 1 to 3 years depending on use and rainfall. For slope stabilization, properly graded and compacted fill dirt with vegetation can last long-term, but heavy winter rains in the Phillipsville area increase erosion risk unless drainage and erosion control are installed. Using fill dirt with a compacted base layer and surface rock reduces ongoing maintenance and extends service life.
Many building departments and septic inspectors in Humboldt County prefer engineered fill and specific compaction levels under slabs and septic drain fields; organic-rich fill dirt or uncompacted material is often unacceptable. For concrete slabs or septic systems in Phillipsville, remove topsoil and organics, use clean structural fill or granular fill, and plan for compaction testing where required. Check with your local inspector before ordering and let Hello Gravel know if the fill will be used under a permitted slab or septic system so we can suggest appropriate material.
Common access issues around Phillipsville include narrow and winding roads, low-hanging branches or wires, steep private driveways, and limited turnaround space for tri-axle trucks. Suppliers may charge access or short-load surcharges for properties that require smaller trucks, multiple drops, or extra handling; Hello Gravel offers options like smaller trucks or split deliveries when available, but these often carry an extra fee. When ordering, provide photos and notes about access so we can match the right truck and avoid surprises.
Tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver’s discretion if site conditions allow, but it is not guaranteed and is performed only when safe; request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival. To change or cancel your order contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible; modifications are easier before processing and dispatch, and we will do our best to accommodate requests but cannot guarantee all changes.
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.
