Why Rancho Santa Margarita Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rancho Santa Margarita is home to 40,740 residents and is experiencing steady development with a growth rate of 0.70% annually. The area enjoys a favorable outdoor climate—224 sunny days per year and 34.40 inches of annual rainfall—and sits in USDA hardiness zone 8b, which supports a wide range of landscaping projects. Those factors, combined with rolling terrain and frequent residential improvement work, drive steady demand for dependable aggregates. Homeowners and contractors often need quality fill dirt for grading, foundation backfill, raised beds, and slope repair to control settlement and erosion. Many local projects require materials that compact well and match regional soil chemistry, so sourcing the right fill dirt matters for long-term stability and plant health.Popular Projects in Rancho Santa Margarita This Season

Convert area to cubic yards: 500 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 250 cubic feet, divided by 27 = about 9.3 cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.0 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so you would need roughly 9 to 12 tons; add 10-20% extra to account for compaction and settling.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
