Why Pollock Pines Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Pollock Pines, with a city population of 7,320 and located within a metro area population of 2.5+ million, is experiencing steady growth at 1.42% annually. The area averages 228 sunny days per year and about 34.25 inches of rain annually, and sits in USDA hardiness zone 8b. That mix of sun, seasonal rain, and hilly terrain fuels ongoing demand for reliable aggregates as homeowners and small contractors grade lots, raise low spots, build pads, and repair driveways. Homeowners in Pollock Pines often need fill dirt that compacts well, helps manage runoff, and creates a stable base for landscaping or future construction, so clear guidance on quantities and dependable delivery can make the difference between a smooth project and unexpected rework.Popular Projects in Pollock Pines This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Pollock Pines Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Pollock Pines.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Pollock Pines area commonly range from about $12 to $40 per ton, depending on supplier, moisture content, and distance from local quarries. Expect higher costs for small orders, steep delivery routes into the Sierra Nevada foothills, or during high-demand seasons; contact Hello Gravel for current, localized quotes.
For general grade-raising in Pollock Pines, clean, compactable fill dirt with minimal organic material is best because it settles predictably and compacts well. Avoid topsoil or highly organic mixes for structural fills; if drainage is a concern, combine fill dirt with crushed rock layers or geotextile as recommended by a contractor.
A 1/4-acre (10,890 sq ft) raised 4 inches requires about 134 cubic yards of material, which converts to roughly 170 to 215 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. We recommend ordering a 5-10% overage to allow for compaction and grading losses.
Fill dirt can be used for general foundation grading and septic backfill if it is free of organic material and properly compacted, but local codes and engineers may require specific backfill materials or compaction tests. Always verify requirements with your septic designer or El Dorado County building department before placing large quantities.
Fill dirt alone is not recommended as a finished driveway surface because it tends to rut and erode in wet weather common to the region; it is best used as a graded subbase. For driveways, place a compacted structural base such as crusher run or crushed rock over the fill dirt, then add a surface material suited to your needs.
Fill dirt is used to adjust elevation and provide stable subgrade but has poor surface durability and drainage compared with crusher run or decomposed granite. Crusher run compacts into a strong base for driveways, while decomposed granite makes an attractive, more permeable surface; choose fill dirt for grading, crusher run for base layers, and DG for finished paths or low-traffic areas.
Large deliveries or significant grading work may trigger permits and erosion-control requirements from El Dorado County, especially for projects near waterways or on steep slopes. Before ordering bulk fill dirt for major construction, check with El Dorado County Planning and Building and your local fire district to confirm permit and site protection needs.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and many local suppliers have similar minimums; remote or steep delivery locations in Pollock Pines can increase minimums or delivery fees. Prices and availability can be higher and lead times longer in winter and early spring due to wet conditions, so plan ahead for fall or summer deliveries when possible.
Proper installation usually means placing fill dirt in 6-8 inch lifts and compacting each lift with a plate compactor or roller; larger projects often use vibratory rollers or sheepsfoot rollers and a skid steer for placement. Moisture conditioning and compaction testing may be required for structural fills or foundation work, so consult your contractor or engineer for project-specific specs.
Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted truckers who deliver fill dirt to Pollock Pines, and we can provide quotes and delivery scheduling for your zip code. Tailgate spreading may be offered by drivers at their discretion; for guaranteed spreading and grading, ask Hello Gravel for recommendations for local landscapers or grading contractors.
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.
