Why Toluca Lake Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Toluca Lake is a compact community of 355 residents within a broader metro that counts 2.5+ million people, experiencing steady, measured growth at 0.70% annually. The local climate is temperate—hardiness zone 8b—with about 228 sunny days per year and 34.25 inches of rainfall, so homeowner projects need to account for both extended dry periods and moderate wet seasons. That mix drives demand for dependable aggregate materials: homeowners and small contractors commonly need fill dirt to raise grades, backfill around foundations, build level pads for sheds and patios, and correct minor drainage issues. Because lot sizes are often modest and projects tend to be precise, buyers favor clean, consistent fill that compacts predictably and reduces the need for repeat deliveries.Popular Projects in Toluca Lake This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Toluca Lake Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Toluca Lake.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Toluca Lake typically vary based on haul distance, supplier, and screening. Expect a rough range of about $18 to $45 per ton (or about $25 to $60 per cubic yard) delivered, though small minimum orders and tight access can raise the price. Hello Gravel shows local pricing at checkout and can provide contractor-rate quotes for larger orders. For an exact number, check zip code availability and get a delivery estimate through our site or sales team.
Hello Gravel works with a network of vetted local suppliers and hauling partners that serve Toluca Lake and the surrounding Los Angeles area. We can connect contractors with suppliers who offer bulk pricing or repeat-customer discounts; contact our team to request contractor pricing and account options. For individual landscapers or specific supplier names, we recommend requesting quotes through Hello Gravel so you get current local options and negotiated rates.
Calculate cubic yards by multiplying area (length x width in feet) by required depth in feet, then divide by 27. Example: a 10 ft x 30 ft driveway needing 4 inches (0.33 ft) of fill is 10 x 30 x 0.33 / 27 ≈ 3.7 cubic yards. Convert to tons for ordering using an approximate conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 to 1.4 tons for typical fill dirt; Hello Gravel's material calculator can do this conversion for you.
Fill dirt is commonly used to raise grades, backfill foundations, and fill low spots, but it is not a finished surface for driveways. In Toluca Lake's hot, dry climate and hilly terrain, fill dirt can settle and produce dust unless properly compacted and capped with structural base or surface materials. For driveways, contractors usually recommend compacted structural fill or base rock beneath a durable surface (gravel, asphalt, or pavers) rather than leaving fill dirt exposed.
Fill dirt is primarily soil with fines and is the most economical option for raising grades or backfill, while crushed rock and decomposed granite (DG) are better for drainage, stability, and finished surfaces. Crushed rock and DG cost more but provide better compaction and a more durable, low-maintenance surface for driveways and high-traffic areas. Choose fill dirt for bulk grade changes and use crushed rock or DG where load-bearing, drainage, or appearance matters.
Permitting rules vary by jurisdiction; Toluca Lake is inside the Los Angeles area so you should check with the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety or Los Angeles County if your property falls under county review. Many local agencies require grading or earthwork permits when you move or import roughly 50 cubic yards or more, alter drainage, or change lot grades. Always verify with the local building or planning department before ordering large quantities.
Proper installation typically includes placing fill in thin lifts (layers) and compacting each lift with plate compactors or rollers; contractors may also add moisture and perform proof-rolling. Expect additional costs for compaction equipment rental, contractor labor, grading, and testing if an engineer's spec is required. For small homeowner jobs you may pay for machine rental or a local contractor to compact; for larger jobs, request a detailed quote that includes compaction method and testing requirements.
Toluca Lake's dry summers reduce the risk of immediate washouts but increase dust and settling; winter rains can cause erosion or mud if fill is not stabilized. Schedule deliveries during dry windows for easier access and compaction, and plan erosion control measures (straw, hydroseed, silt fence) if work continues into the rainy season. Proper compaction and surface drainage are the main factors that affect long-term durability in this climate.
For foundation backfill and engineered fills, contractors and engineers often specify clean, low-organic structural fill or screened fill to ensure consistent compaction and avoid settlement. General landscape fill can be unscreened fill dirt, but screening removes large debris and roots and helps with compaction. Always follow your engineer's or contractor's recommendation for gradation and organic content when the project affects structural elements.
Common additional fees include long-haul charges for greater distances, limited-access or small-load fees if trucks cannot directly dump, disposal fees for contaminated or spoiled soil, and optional services like tailgate spreading. Other possible charges are weekend or next-day delivery fees, equipment rental for spreading or compaction, and fees for permits or inspection-related requirements if applicable. Ask Hello Gravel for a detailed estimate that lists potential extras before confirming your order.

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.
