Why Redlands Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Redlands, with a city population of 67,746, sits in a steadily growing West California metro that is expanding at about 1.90% annually. The area’s Mediterranean-like climate (Hardiness Zone 8b) delivers 228 sunny days per year and about 35.00 inches of rain, creating conditions that encourage both new landscaping and steady home-improvement activity. As properties are regraded, expanded, or prepared for hardscapes, local homeowners and contractors increasingly need reliable bulk materials for grading, raising low spots, and building structural bases. That demand makes quality fill dirt essential: the right subsoil minimizes settling, supports foundations and retaining walls, and helps maintain proper drainage under Redlands’ sunny, seasonally wet conditions. Regional sourcing also means soil texture and color will reflect local geology, so choosing a local supplier matters for performance and appearance. Fill dirt is typically clean subsoil used to add bulk and raise grade without the stones common in topsoil mixes. In Redlands’ climate, well-placed fill dirt helps create stable pads for patios, paths, garages, and planting beds while reducing erosion risk during the rainy season. Because moderate rainfall and dry summers affect compaction and drainage, homeowners should prioritize well-graded, locally sourced fill dirt that contractors can compact in place for lasting results. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional haulers, offers transparent pricing and scheduled delivery (standard delivery in 2+ business days; next-day available for qualifying orders), and provides a material calculator plus expert guidance to help you order the right quantity and type for your project.Popular Projects in Redlands This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Redlands Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Redlands.
Fill dirt is native or quarried soil used to raise or level ground; it usually contains clay, silt, and small rock fragments and is not intended for planting. Gravel is crushed rock or rounded stone used for drainage and structural surfaces. In Redlands, fill dirt is commonly used to build up yards or pad areas, while gravel is chosen for driveways, drainage and walkways.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper per ton than crushed gravel because it is less processed, but final price depends on local supply and delivery. In Redlands, Hello Gravel's pricing reflects regional sourcing and truckload costs, so request a quote to compare totals including delivery and minimum order (3 tons). Always factor in hauling and spreading needs when comparing cost.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to build up low spots and create a level surface, but it should be added in layers and compacted for best results. For lawns in Redlands you will usually want a final top layer of topsoil (3-4 inches) to support grass. Contact our team for an order estimate and guidance on quantities and compaction.
Calculate cubic yards first: area (sq ft) x depth (in inches) / 324 = cubic yards needed. Convert to tons using a local range for fill dirt weight (about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture). For a 1,000 sq ft area filled 3 inches deep, you would need about 9.26 cubic yards, roughly 11 to 14 tons.
Topsoil and fill dirt serve different purposes: topsoil contains organic matter for plant growth, while fill dirt is denser and formulated to provide bulk and support. In Redlands, use fill dirt to raise grades and reserve topsoil for the final planting layer; mixing the two can reduce drainage and compaction performance.
Costs vary with supplier, load size and delivery distance, but a tri-axle dump truck in Southern California typically carries about 12 to 16 cubic yards (roughly 15 to 20 tons). Expect to pay a per-ton or per-cubic-yard rate plus delivery; request a Hello Gravel quote for current local pricing and available truck sizes to get an accurate total.
We connect you with local suppliers who deliver via dump trucks (typically tri-axle). Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, next-day delivery is available if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee, and tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion. Minimum order is 3 tons, and regional sourcing means the exact material appearance may vary.
Yes, fill dirt will settle over time, especially if placed in deep lifts without compaction or on loose native soil. To reduce future settling in Redlands' soils, add fill dirt in 4-6 inch lifts and compact each layer, and plan to add a thin top dressing where needed after settlement.
You can place gravel over compacted fill dirt, but the fill must be well-compacted and graded to maintain stability and drainage. In Redlands' climate, a geotextile fabric or a compacted base layer is often recommended under gravel to prevent mixing and rutting; discuss your project with our team for material and installation suggestions.
Yes, for drainage purposes you should use gravel, crushed stone or a combination of rock and filter fabric rather than fill dirt, because stone allows water to flow through. In Redlands, gravel-filled French drains or dry wells are common to manage runoff, while fill dirt is used for building grade rather than drainage.
Grass may struggle to grow directly on fill dirt because it often lacks organic material and nutrients. For lawns in Redlands, place 3 to 4 inches of quality topsoil or amended soil over the compacted fill dirt before seeding or laying sod to give grass a good start.
The most cost-effective approach in Redlands is to identify low areas, bring in fill dirt in controlled lifts, compact each layer, and finish with topsoil for planting. Renting a plate compactor and doing smaller loads yourself can lower labor costs, but for larger projects Hello Gravel can arrange delivery sized to your needs and recommend local contractors if desired.
Contact our team as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order; modifications are easier before the supplier dispatches a truck. Hello Gravel will do its best to accommodate requests, but ability to change an order depends on supplier processing and dispatch status, and fees may apply.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
