Why Topanga Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Topanga is a small, hillside community with a population of 5,090 tucked into West California’s temperate landscape. With a steady annual growth rate of 0.40%, ongoing home improvements and small-scale construction projects are common as homeowners adapt properties to the local terrain. The region’s climate—228 sunny days per year, 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—encourages year-round outdoor work but also creates drainage and erosion concerns on sloped lots. For these reasons homeowners seek dependable aggregates like Fill Dirt to regrade yards, build level pads for sheds and patios, backfill around foundations, and support retaining walls. Quality fill material helps prevent future settling and drainage problems, so Topanga residents need suppliers who understand local soil behavior and delivery logistics for steep, narrow access sites.Popular Projects in Topanga This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Topanga Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Topanga.
Prices vary by supplier, truck access, and how far material is hauled. Expect a broad range of roughly $20 to $50 per ton (or about $15 to $40 per cubic yard) delivered in the Topanga area; narrow steep access, small loads, or next-day service can add fees. The best step is to get a zip-code quote through Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price and any access surcharges.
For steep coastal slopes, use well-graded fill dirt with low organic content that compacts well and drains reasonably. For any slope work in Topanga, plan to follow a geotechnical recommendation—engineered fill, proper drainage, terracing, and erosion control measures are often required to avoid instability.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards (1000 x 0.5 ft / 27). Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.25 tons per cubic yard, so plan for roughly 20 to 23 tons. Order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and slight grade adjustments.
Fill dirt alone is not a long-term erosion-control surface in Topanga’s seasonal winter rains. Proper compaction, graded slopes, drainage features, and a surface cover (mulch, vegetation, rock, or paving) are needed to prevent erosion. For slope stabilization, combine good fill placement with erosion-control matting, plants adapted to the coastal climate, and engineered drainage.
Compacted fill dirt can form part of a driveway subgrade, but it is usually paired with a structural base (road base or crushed rock) for durability. Compaction is typically done at delivery and can be completed quickly, but the full driveway surface should include a proper base layer and surface material before regular vehicle use; if properly compacted and topped with road base, light use can start within days, while heavy use benefits from several weeks to settle.
When placed, compacted, and paired with proper drainage, fill dirt used as subgrade for patios and retaining walls can last many years without replenishment. Problems arise if surface water is not managed or if organic material was used, which can settle and decompose—regular inspections after heavy rains are wise. For retaining walls, using engineered backfill and a drainage layer dramatically increases long-term stability.
They serve different roles: fill dirt is for raising grades and filling voids, while decomposed granite (DG) is a finished surface that compacts well and sheds water. For paths and a finished driveway surface in Topanga, DG or crushed rock is usually better; use fill dirt underneath to build up grade, then a structural base and DG or crusher fines on top for the walking/driving surface.
Yes—many local suppliers serving Topanga deliver screened or clean fill dirt, and local contractors can provide compaction services. Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers and haulers in the area, but compaction is usually a separate contractor service; add order notes and photos at checkout so suppliers can confirm what screening and equipment are available.
Permitting depends on the scope of work. Small landscaping fills may not require permits, but significant grading, slope alteration, or work that affects drainage often requires permits or review from Los Angeles County and possibly a geotechnical report for steep slopes in Topanga. Check with LA County Building and Safety or a local civil/geotechnical engineer before large imports or slope regrading.
Narrow or steep driveways commonly incur extra charges: smaller trucks, manual unloading, additional labor, or a spotter may be required and can increase the delivery fee. Some suppliers also charge driveway-access fees or require a staging area on the street. When ordering through Hello Gravel, add photos and clear access notes so we can get accurate quotes and flag any potential extra charges before delivery.
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.
