Why Valley Glen Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Valley Glen has a city population of 993,588 and sits inside a broader metro area of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 0.40% annually, local homeowners and contractors are managing more renovations, yard regrades, and new builds. The local climate — 228 sunny days a year, moderate conditions in hardiness zone 8b, and 34.25 inches of annual rainfall — creates a need for materials that balance drainage and stability. That combination of sun and seasonal rain drives demand for reliable aggregates: residents want materials that compact well, reduce settling, and support landscaping or foundation work without frequent rework. For many Valley Glen projects, quality fill dirt is the first step to a successful job because it sets grade, supports structures, and prepares planting or hardscape areas before topsoil or surface materials are added.Popular Projects in Valley Glen This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Valley Glen Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Valley Glen.
Delivered fill dirt prices in Valley Glen commonly fall in a range depending on supply, haul distance, and material type; expect roughly $10 to $35 per ton as a ballpark for clean, local fill dirt. Prices vary with seasonal demand, truck access, and whether the material is virgin soil or recycled, so get a local quote through Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price.
For a typical residential driveway in Valley Glen, contractors usually charge between $0.75 and $3.00 per square foot for grading and compaction, depending on access, project complexity, and equipment needed. Smaller or simple jobs might be quoted as a flat rate (often $300 to $1,200), so get at least two contractor estimates and confirm whether delivery, spreading, and compaction are bundled.
Use clean sandy fill or a well-graded granular mix for drainage because these materials shed water and avoid trapping moisture. For compaction and structural fills, choose engineered granular fill or compactible fill dirt blended with crushed rock; local suppliers in West California can recommend mixes that match Valley Glen's typical conditions.
Calculate volume first: area (ft2) x depth (ft) = cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards; multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to 1.4 to convert to tons for typical loose fill dirt. Example: to raise a 20 ft x 30 ft yard by 6 inches (0.5 ft) gives 600 x 0.5 = 300 ft3 = 11.1 yd3, which is roughly 13 to 16 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction.
Small residential deliveries of fill dirt usually do not trigger permits, but large grading jobs, significant regrading, or work that affects drainage or requires retaining walls may require permits from the City of Los Angeles (LADBS) or the local Bureau of Engineering. Always check with the City of Los Angeles and your HOA (if applicable) before major earthwork, and consult a contractor or engineer when in doubt.
Fill dirt used alone is prone to settling and erosion in Valley Glen's dry summers and occasional heavy rains, so expect some settlement unless the fill is placed in controlled lifts and compacted. For a durable driveway base, cover fill dirt with a compactible base material like crushed rock or road base, compact properly, and provide surface grading and drainage to minimize erosion.
Recycled or CD material can be acceptable for some residential uses if it is clean, inert, and free of contaminants; however, local regulations or lender/permit requirements may limit where recycled fill is allowed. Ask your Hello Gravel rep for local supplier options and request documentation about material source and testing before using recycled fill near foundations or landscaping where contamination is a concern.
Fill dirt is best for bulk raising and general grading but does not perform well for surface drainage or structural bases. Crushed rock or road base provides better compaction, load-bearing capacity, and drainage, so those materials are preferred for driveway bases and areas with vehicular traffic in Valley Glen.
Some contractors offer a package that includes delivery, spreading, and compaction, but it is common for these to be separate services provided by different vendors (supplier/hauler vs. site contractor). When ordering on Hello Gravel, request spreading at checkout and confirm with your contractor whether they will compact and finish the area or if you need to hire a separate compaction service.
Valley Glen and surrounding Los Angeles neighborhoods often have clay pockets and variable soils that can expand, retain moisture, or settle unevenly, so material choice and installation method matter. For foundation backfill and critical landscaping, use engineered or tested fill placed in lifts with compaction, consider geotextile or drainage measures, and get a site-specific recommendation from an engineer or experienced local contractor.

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.
