Why Rio Linda Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Rio Linda, with a city population of 14,340, sits inside a growing West California metro area whose population is 2.5+ million. The area is expanding at a growth rate of 0.70% annually, and local homeowners benefit from a climate with 225 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.50 inches, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b. That steady growth and favorable weather mean many residents are investing in outdoor projects — from new driveways and raised beds to yard grading and home additions. For those projects, reliable aggregates matter: quality fill dirt helps achieve proper compaction, stable grades, and consistent drainage so landscaping and structures perform well over time.Popular Projects in Rio Linda This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Rio Linda Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Rio Linda.
In Rio Linda, fill dirt usually ranges from about $10 to $30 per ton depending on source, moisture, and screening. Hello Gravel often includes free delivery in many areas, but expect additional fees for next-day service, difficult access, long haul distances, or tailgate spreading; check your zip code for exact pricing and the 3-ton minimum.
Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and independent haulers serving Rio Linda and Sacramento County, so you get regional material without searching multiple vendors. For contractors, look for local landscapers and sitework contractors with good reviews, valid insurance, and grading experience; Hello Gravel can recommend suppliers once you enter your zip code.
Fill dirt is commonly used for leveling yards, raising low spots, backfilling foundations and trenches, and creating simple landscape berms in Rio Linda. It is not intended as a finished surface for driveways or patios without a compacted base and top surfacing material like crushed rock.
Rio Linda sits in the Sacramento Valley where soils can include clay that holds water and expands; compacted, clean fill dirt can provide stable grade but drains poorly on its own. You should compact lift layers, provide drainage paths, and avoid using loose fill on slopes without erosion control to prevent settling and runoff.
One cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons. At that density, 3" (0.25 ft) requires about 0.012 to 0.013 tons per sq ft, 6" about 0.024 to 0.026 tons per sq ft, and 12" about 0.048 to 0.052 tons per sq ft. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for exact estimates based on your chosen density.
Possibly. Rio Linda is in Sacramento County, and significant grading or changes to drainage often require a grading permit, erosion control measures, or building permits. Before placing large volumes, check with Sacramento County Planning and Development and your local public works office, and confirm HOA rules if applicable.
Fill dirt is inexpensive but not suitable as a finished driveway surface because it compacts poorly and can rut when wet. Crushed rock or gravel provides better load-bearing and drainage, while decomposed granite offers a smoother, aesthetic finish but needs a stable base; for durable driveways, use compacted base material topped with crushed rock or pavement.
Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Typical dump trucks are tri-axle and carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on material), though capacities vary by truck and local regulations. Before delivery, ensure truck access, watch for overhead wires, narrow driveways, or weight-restricted streets, and note that drivers decide on tailgate spreading based on safety.
Filled areas will settle over time, especially if not compacted in lifts; expect some settling in the first year and plan on regrading or adding more material as needed. Maintenance includes compaction for structural uses, controlling weeds, repairing erosion after storms, and topping with a suitable surface for high-traffic areas to extend lifespan.
Ask suppliers for 'clean fill' that is free of construction debris, large roots, and trash; common contaminants to avoid include old concrete, asphalt, and chemically treated soils. If you plan to use fill dirt near potable water supplies, gardens, or for structural fill, request source information and consider basic testing or a soil report; for large projects, a professional geotechnical evaluation is recommended.
Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible to request order changes; modifications are easier before processing and dispatch but not guaranteed. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers will only perform it at their discretion based on safety and site access; plan for hired labor or equipment if precise spreading and compaction are required.
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.
