Why Sutter Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sutter is a small but active community of 3,120 residents within a broader metro serving 2.5+ million people, and it is growing steadily at about 0.70% annually. With 230 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.50 inches, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, local weather supports year-round outdoor projects but also creates a need to balance sun-driven drying with seasonal runoff. That combination drives steady demand for reliable aggregate materials—homeowners and contractors in Sutter regularly need quality fill to grade lots, correct elevations, and prepare pads for sheds, patios, and driveways. Good fill helps prevent future settling and erosion, so many homeowners look for well-graded, locally sourced material that matches the region’s soil behavior and climate patterns.Popular Projects in Sutter This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sutter Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Sutter.
Fill dirt is coarse, fine-grained soil used to raise or level ground; it contains little organic matter and is not meant as a finished surface. Gravel and crushed stone are angular or rounded rock used for drainage and structural bases. In Sutter, CA, use fill dirt to build grade or fill low spots, and use gravel/crushed stone on top where vehicles and drainage are required.
Use fill dirt to raise or level the driveway area and then install a compacted gravel or crushed-stone base as the driving surface. Fill dirt alone will rut and hold water in Sutter's wet season, so it is not a good finished surface for a driveway. Plan to order both materials: fill dirt for grading and gravel for the finished base.
You can put gravel over native soil if that soil is firm, well-draining, and free of vegetation, but many Sutter yards have soft silty or clay pockets that need correction. If the native soil is soft, uneven, or full of organic material, add fill dirt to raise and grade, then install and compact a crushed-stone base before putting surface gravel. Removing vegetation and compacting each layer will improve lifespan and drainage.
Measure length, width, and desired depth in feet, multiply (length x width x depth), then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft area by 6 inches: (1,000 x 0.5) / 27 = about 18.5 cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, expect roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt; contact us for a local conversion and quote.
It depends on the area and desired height, but use the same volume formula to estimate: (square feet x depth in feet) / 27. For example, raising a 2,000 sq ft yard by 4 inches requires about (2,000 x 0.333) / 27 = roughly 24.7 cubic yards. For large or irregular lots in Sutter, request an on-site estimate or upload photos in your Hello Gravel order notes for a more accurate quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who can deliver fill dirt to Sutter addresses, but spreading is handled case-by-case. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion and when it is safe, but spreading and grading services are not guaranteed. For reliable spreading and compaction, hire a local landscaper or grading contractor and note your needs in the order notes so we can try to match the right supplier.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days depending on supplier availability in Sutter. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and same-week delivery is often possible when local inventory and truck schedules allow. Delivery fees vary by distance, truck size, and tipping location; request a quote during checkout to see your exact charges.
For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 3 inches of fill depth you need about 1.85 cubic yards of fill dirt [(20 x 10 x 0.25)/27]. Costs include material (price per cubic yard), delivery (truck fee), and compaction (equipment or contractor labor). Material-only may be relatively inexpensive per cubic yard, but delivery and compaction often account for the larger share—contact Hello Gravel for an accurate local quote based on your exact measurements and site access.
Per cubic yard, plain fill dirt is usually cheaper than crushed stone or washed gravel because it is less processed. However, cheaper does not mean appropriate: for driveways, pathways, and drainage you generally need crushed stone or gravel for strength and water control. Choose fill dirt for grading and inexpensive volume work, and buy crushed stone or gravel where a durable surface is required.
Do not use fill dirt as the bedding layer for pavers. Typical order: excavate to required depth, place and compact a crushed-stone base, add a 1-inch screeded bedding layer of coarse sand, then lay pavers. Use fill dirt only outside the paved area for grading or behind retaining edges; for proper paver performance in Sutter's climate, prioritize a compacted stone base and sand bedding.
Yes, Hello Gravel can source sand-and-gravel mixes and common aggregates used for pavers and concrete from local West California suppliers. We can recommend typical blends (for example, coarse sand for bedding and well-graded aggregate for base) but always confirm technical specs with your contractor or engineer for concrete mix designs. Add project details in your order or call our team so we can match the right supplier and material for Sutter conditions.
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.
