Why San Bernardino Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Bernardino (population 223,281) sits inside the Riverside-San Bernardino metro area of 2.5+ million and combines steady growth (0.40% annually) with a mostly sunny, temperate climate (228 sunny days a year and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, hardiness zone 8b). That mix of steady development and weather means homeowners frequently take on grading, leveling, foundation prep, and landscaping projects—from raising low spots and building terraces to filling utility trenches and supporting new plantings. For these jobs, quality Fill Dirt matters: it provides compactable, stable material that reduces settlement risk, supports structures and hardscapes, and helps establish correct slopes for water runoff. Homeowners choose reliable, locally sourced aggregates to avoid rework and get material suited to San Bernardino’s soils and seasonal patterns. In San Bernardino’s climate, Fill Dirt should be low in organic material, easy to compact, and compatible with native soils so it resists erosion during heavier rains and holds up through long sunny stretches. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional dump-truck fleets to deliver regionally sourced Fill Dirt on a schedule that fits your project—standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Request tailgate spreading at checkout; drivers may perform it at their discretion. Our online ordering, transparent pricing, and local sourcing simplify getting the right Fill Dirt for your job.Popular Projects in San Bernardino This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Bernardino Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in San Bernardino.
Prices vary by supplier and delivery distance, but most customers in San Bernardino pay about $15 to $40 per cubic yard delivered. A typical tri-axle truck carries 10 to 12 cubic yards, so a single truckload usually runs roughly $150 to $480. Exact pricing depends on availability, hauling distance, and whether you need spreading or special access.
Generally yes — raw fill dirt is usually less expensive per cubic yard than processed gravel or base rock. However, gravel types vary widely (crushed rock, DG, class II), and some low-grade gravels can be similar in price depending on local supply and hauling. Compare prices by the cubic yard and consider long-term performance needs before choosing the cheaper option.
Fill dirt can be used to build up grade but is not a suitable structural base for a driveway by itself. For a driveway you should compact the fill and then install a proper base (class II or crusher-run) and a surface layer of gravel; that combination costs more than fill dirt alone because of additional material and compaction/labor. Hello Gravel can deliver the fill dirt and arrange delivery timing, but grading and base installation are contractor services you should quote locally.
Use this formula: cubic yards = area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27. For 1,000 sq ft that is about 9.3 yd^3 at 3 inches and 18.5 yd^3 at 6 inches; at $15 to $40 per cubic yard delivered, expect roughly $140 to $370 for 3 inches or $280 to $740 for 6 inches. Final cost depends on local supplier rates, delivery access, and whether the driver can tailgate spread.
To lower costs, order full truckloads (larger orders lower the per-yard hauling cost), choose standard delivery (2+ business days), and pick local suppliers to reduce haul distance. Make the delivery point easy for the truck to access and be ready to accept tailgate offload to avoid special equipment fees. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator and zip-code check to compare local supplier quotes before ordering.
Hello Gravel can deliver fill dirt to your San Bernardino address, but grading and final leveling are typically performed by landscapers or earthwork contractors. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading and compaction should be contracted separately; costs vary by yard size and equipment needed. Ask Hello Gravel to schedule delivery to coincide with your contractor to avoid extra handling charges.
Fill dirt is intended for raising grade and filling voids and is usually low in organic matter and nutrients, so it is not ideal for planting or lawns. For grass, garden beds, or planting, order screened topsoil or a topsoil/compost blend designed for plant growth. In San Bernardino’s arid climate, also consider soil amendments and irrigation planning for successful establishment.
Uncompacted fill dirt can erode or wash on slopes, especially during heavy rain events, so slopes need compaction, drainage controls, vegetation, or mechanical stabilization. Hello Gravel coordinates material delivery but does not guarantee erosion-control installation or compaction; drivers may help with limited spreading at their discretion. For slope work, hire a local contractor who can provide compaction, terraces, geotextile, or retaining walls and schedule delivery to match their timeline.
We commonly supply class II road base, crusher-run, decomposed granite (DG), 3/4" crushed stone, screened topsoil, and sand — each suited to different uses. For driveways, class II road base or crusher-run is preferred as a structural base; for plantings order screened topsoil or blended topsoil. Regional availability varies, so check product pages and request local samples if color or texture matters.
If you mean a 20-foot-long single-car driveway, the important comparison is material performance: fill dirt is cheaper per yard but is not a proper structural base and will lead to settling and maintenance. Building a lasting gravel driveway generally requires compacted base rock (class II) plus a gravel topcoat; material and installation for a small driveway typically costs more up front than using only fill dirt but lasts far longer and reduces future repair costs. Get local quotes for delivered base rock plus contractor compaction to compare apples-to-apples with a fill-dirt-only approach.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
