Why Tulare Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Tulare, with a city population of 69,237 and a metro area expanding alongside a 2.60% annual growth rate, is seeing steady residential and infrastructure activity that increases demand for basic construction materials. With 228 sunny days per year, hardiness zone 8b conditions, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners and contractors need aggregates that perform through both dry spells and seasonal storms. Fill Dirt is frequently used here to raise grade, backfill foundations, build terraces, and smooth uneven yards before landscaping—tasks that become more common as neighborhoods grow. Choosing quality Fill Dirt helps reduce future settling, control erosion, and create reliable base layers for driveways, patios, and planting areas.Popular Projects in Tulare This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Tulare Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Tulare.
Prices for fill dirt in Tulare vary by supplier, haul distance, and seasonal availability. Hello Gravel shows local pricing during checkout after you enter your zip code; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees are often included but can vary by location and order size.
Hello Gravel partners with trusted local suppliers and haulers in the Tulare area and can provide specific supplier options for your zip code at checkout. Minimums depend on the supplier, but Hello Gravel’s platform requires a 3-ton minimum order; some quarries or local farms may have higher minimums for direct pickup or very large loads.
Tulare sits in the San Joaquin Valley where native soils are often alluvial with silty-clay or sandy-loam characteristics; those soils can shrink when dry and swell when wet. Because of the dry summers and wet winters, proper moisture conditioning and mechanical compaction in thin lifts (typically 6-8 inches) are important to reduce settlement and improve stability.
Fill dirt is commonly used in Tulare for raising yard grades, filling low spots, preparing building pads, and backfilling foundations or utility trenches. A quick rule: one cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at 1 inch depth; for most yard-raising jobs estimate volumes in cubic yards and add 10-20% for compaction and settlement—Hello Gravel’s calculator can convert your area and depth to tons or cubic yards.
Local permitting and drainage requirements vary by project size; small yard repairs often don’t need a permit, but grading that changes drainage patterns, affects neighboring properties, or involves substantial volumes usually requires a permit from the City of Tulare or Tulare County. Check with Tulare Public Works or the county building department before starting and consider erosion control measures for wet-season runoff.
Fill dirt is inexpensive and good for bulk volume and raising grade, but it compacts poorly as a finished surface and can wash out in heavy rain. Decomposed granite and crushed rock are better choices for driveway surfaces and erosion control because they drain better and lock together; expect higher material and installation costs versus fill dirt, but much lower maintenance for driveable surfaces.
Use fill dirt in compacted lifts (6-8 inches) with a plate compactor or roller, control moisture before compaction, and avoid placing large fills without engineered guidance. Protect newly placed fill from winter runoff with temporary erosion control (straw, silt fence, or seed), and consider a cap of structural fill or aggregate where you need a stable finished surface.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but it is not guaranteed and will be assessed for safety on arrival. For precise spreading and grade work, hiring a local landscaper or excavator is recommended.
Measure the length, width, and depth (in inches) of the area to be filled, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards; add 10-20% for compaction and settlement. If you prefer tons, Hello Gravel’s material calculator will convert for you based on local material density and provide a recommended order quantity.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.
Please type in your zip code on any product screen and it will let you know if we service your area. The chances are that we do!
The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!
No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
