Why Sunland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sunland has a city population of 17,913 and sits inside a steadily growing metro with a population of 2.5+ million. With an annual growth rate of 1.00%, local homeowners and small contractors are seeing steady demand for grading, foundation prep, and landscape projects. Sunland’s climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches—supports year-round outdoor work but also requires materials that perform in both sun and seasonal rain. That combination drives homeowners to choose dependable, locally sourced aggregates that compact well, resist erosion, and reduce future settlement. Quality fill materials help avoid costly rework, support plantings appropriate for the climate, and create proper slopes for drainage around foundations and driveways. Fill dirt is a basic but essential material for raising or leveling ground, backfilling trenches, and preparing sites for patios, sheds, and foundations. In Sunland’s mix of sun and 34.25 inches of yearly rain, a well-graded, low-organic-content fill dirt reduces settling and improves drainage when compacted in layers. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who supply regionally sourced fill dirt, coordinate delivery by dump truck, and let you choose timing that fits your project. We handle estimates and scheduling so homeowners get the right type and amount of fill dirt without the hassle of calling multiple vendors.Popular Projects in Sunland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunland Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Sunland.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and material quality, but expect a rough range of $15 to $45 per ton (about $18 to $55 per cubic yard) delivered in the Sunland area. Hillside access, small-lot deliveries, or required offloading services can push costs higher, so get an itemized quote through Hello Gravel for an accurate price.
Hello Gravel typically offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with optional next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Minimum orders are usually 3 tons; very small residential requests or complex access may affect scheduling, so book early and add delivery notes at checkout.
For a driveway base in Sunland, avoid loose topsoil. Use engineered fill with low organic content and good fines that compact well, or better yet use a crushed stone/road base layer on top of structural fill. If you do use fill dirt, place it in 4-6 inch lifts and compact each lift to prevent future settling.
Sunland has dry summers and wet winters with steep slopes in places, so erosion is a real concern. Use well-compacted fill, install proper drainage (swales, French drains), and consider erosion controls like hydroseed or mulch on exposed slopes to reduce runoff and washouts during winter storms.
Permit rules vary by project size and scope; small landscape fills often do not require permits, but grading, changes to drainage, retaining walls, or large volume imports may trigger Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety or county permit requirements. Check with Los Angeles city/county planning or call Hello Gravel for guidance before ordering large quantities.
A good planning range for fill dirt is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. For planning, use 1.4 tons/yd3 as a mid-point and adjust with field compaction tests or supplier-provided bulk densities for more accuracy.
Ask suppliers about visible debris, organic matter, construction waste, salts, and any history of contaminants at the borrow site. For high-risk projects or suspect sources, request documentation or lab testing; bringing unknown soil into Sunland can create vegetation problems or regulatory issues.
Fill dirt can be used behind retaining walls if properly compacted, but it holds water and can increase lateral pressure. For most Sunland retaining walls, use free-draining crushed stone or road base directly behind the wall and reserve fill dirt higher up where drainage is managed.
Residential fills are commonly compacted to 90-95% of standard density; achieve this with vibratory plate compactors for small areas or a small roller for larger jobs. For steep or deep fills hire a contractor with appropriate equipment and testing to ensure stable compaction in Sunland’s variable soils.
Calculate the area in square feet and the desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 tons/yd3 to get tons; use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or request help from our team to refine the estimate for Sunland-specific compaction.
Yes. Because Hello Gravel sources locally, Sunland fill dirt often reflects local geology—ranging from sandy loam to clayey mixes in foothill areas. Tell us your color/texture preferences in Order Notes and we’ll connect you with suppliers that match local material characteristics.
Use Hello Gravel to check your zip code and get multiple local quotes from trusted suppliers and haulers; our platform shows price, truck type, and delivery options. Delivery fees vary by distance and access—many orders in metro areas are delivered with no extra fee, but expect fees (often $50 to $250) for longer hauls or difficult offloads; exact fees will be shown at checkout.

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.
