Why Sloughhouse Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sloughhouse, West California, California, has a population of 6,480 and sits within a metro area of 2.5+ million. The town enjoys 228 sunny days per year, averages 34.25 inches of rain annually, and falls in hardiness zone 8b while growing at 0.70% annually. Those conditions—long dry stretches punctuated by moderate rain—create steady demand for reliable fill materials to manage grading, drainage, and site preparation. Homeowners here often balance suburban yards and rural lots, so projects range from driveway base builds and patio foundations to garden terraces and barn pads. For these jobs, consistent, low-organic fill dirt helps achieve stable compaction and reduces settling over time, which is why many Sloughhouse residents prioritize quality, locally sourced aggregates.Popular Projects in Sloughhouse This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sloughhouse Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Sloughhouse.
Fill dirt material in the Sloughhouse/Sacramento area typically has a lower per-ton material price than topsoil or decorative rock, but delivered prices vary. Expect raw material costs roughly $10 to $25 per ton and delivered prices commonly in the $25 to $60 per ton range depending on load size, distance to the supplier, and any site access complications; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum. For an exact price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel, add delivery details, and get a quote since regional sourcing and truck routing affect final pricing.
For bulk raising and general grading, contractors in Sloughhouse typically use clean fill dirt (low organic content) or compactable subsoil to avoid long-term settlement. For driveways you should top compacted fill dirt with a structural layer like road base or crushed rock because fill dirt alone will rut and drain poorly. If erosion control is a concern on slopes, ask for fill that is free of large roots and debris and consider combining it with erosion-control fabric or hydroseeding.
Use this quick formula: Tons = (Area in sq ft x Depth in feet) / 27 x 1.2 (where 1.2 tons per cubic yard is a practical average for compactable fill). Example: 500 sq ft at 6 inches (0.5 ft) is 500 x 0.5 / 27 = 9.26 cubic yards, about 11.1 tons; add 10% to 15% for settlement and uneven spread and you would order about 12.5 to 13 tons. For exact results use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team to account for local soil density differences.
Most contractors in the Sloughhouse area will offer compaction and spreading as part of a grading or site-prep service, but truck deliveries arranged through Hello Gravel typically do not guarantee spreading or compaction. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but compaction is a separate trade that usually requires a contractor or equipment rental (plate compactor or roller). We recommend arranging compaction with a local landscaper or contractor for structural fills or driveways to meet long-term performance expectations.
Sloughhouse’s hot, dry summers can cause loose fills to dry out and shrink while wet winters can lead to softening and increased settlement if fills are not properly compacted and graded. Use low-organic, well-graded fill and compact in lifts to reduce seasonal settlement and avoid placing fill over frozen or saturated soil in winter. For slopes and drainage-sensitive areas, build positive drainage away from structures and consider erosion controls because winter rains are the main risk for washouts.
Large grading or fill projects may require county permits in Sacramento County, especially if you change drainage, alter creeks, or move significant amounts of soil, so check with Sacramento County Planning and Public Works before large fills. Truck weight limits and local road restrictions can apply; oversized or overweight loads may need permits or routing changes and deliveries may be restricted by local ordinances or homeowner association rules. If you expect a large delivery, tell Hello Gravel during checkout so we can coordinate with the supplier and flag any permitting or access concerns.
Fill dirt is primarily for raising grade and creating a stable sub-base when properly compacted; it will settle over time and can be susceptible to erosion if left bare. Expect some settling during the first year and plan to compact in lifts, regrade low spots, and cap with gravel, road base, or topsoil plus vegetation depending on the use. For driveways, regular maintenance (regrading and adding gravel) is normal unless you use a structural base layer under the driving surface.
Fill dirt is cheaper for bulk volume and good for raising low areas, but it lacks the strength and drainage properties of crushed rock or road base. For rural driveways and erosion-prone areas in Sloughhouse, contractors typically use compacted road base or crushed stone on top of a compacted fill to provide a durable, well-draining surface. Use fill dirt for bulk grade adjustments and then finish with road base or crushed rock where traffic and drainage matter most.
Check your driveway and access for tight turns, bridges, or low-hanging lines and note these in Order Notes so the hauler can plan the route; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers next-day delivery options depending on timing. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider it, but do not rely on spreading guarantees; contact Hello Gravel or call 855-241-8884 if you have unusual permitting, site access, or compaction needs so we can coordinate with local suppliers and haulers.
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.
