Why Venice Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Venice, West California, is a compact coastal city of 20,004 residents experiencing steady growth at 2.50% annually. With a temperate, sun-forward climate (Hardiness Zone 8b, 228/year sunny days) and a moderate annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, the area supports year-round exterior work and steady demand for bulk materials. Local homeowners and contractors are frequently leveling yards, raising grades for drainage, backfilling foundations for sheds and decks, and prepping sites for hardscapes. The broader metro area of 2.4+ million people also contributes to renovation and infill activity, so predictable supply, consistent material performance, and clear volume estimates are especially important for Venice projects.Popular Projects in Venice This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Venice Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Venice.
Prices vary by supplier, volume, and local availability, but expect fill dirt in Venice to typically range from about $8 to $30 per ton delivered. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and often shows transparent delivered pricing at checkout; delivery fees depend on distance, truck size, and route (some areas have free delivery). For an exact price, check your ZIP code on Hello Gravel or request a local quote.
Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that service Venice and the West California region, so you get nearby aggregate yards without hunting them down. Many suppliers offer volume discounts for larger orders (for example, reduced per-ton pricing above certain tonnages), so request tiered pricing when you get a quote.
Small residential deliveries for garden or minor grade changes usually do not need a permit, but larger imports or any work involving grading, retaining walls, or structure fill can trigger City of Los Angeles permitting and Coastal Zone review. If you plan to bring in large volumes, change finished grades significantly, or work near protected areas, contact LA Building and Safety and the Coastal Commission and check with Hello Gravel for guidance before ordering.
Venice’s sandy coastal soils drain quickly but can hold salt from ocean spray, which affects plant growth and can speed corrosion in embedded metal. For durability, use clean, screened fill dirt with low organic content for structural fills, and consider mixing or capping with crushed rock for driveways and drainage areas to reduce salt and settlement issues.
Residential contractors commonly target about 90% to 95% of maximum dry density (Standard Proctor) for structural fills, with compacted lift thicknesses of 6 to 8 inches. Typical equipment includes plate compactors and rammers for small areas and vibratory rollers or small drum rollers for larger areas; always confirm compaction requirements with your engineer or contractor for load-bearing work.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (square feet x inches of depth) / 324. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches: 1,000 x 4 / 324 = about 12.35 cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by a local density estimate (common range 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard); using 1.3 t/yd3, that example is roughly 16 tons. Actual weight varies with moisture and compaction, so get a rounded quote from your supplier.
Fill dirt is designed to raise grade or provide structural bulk, but it is not usually the best surface or base material for driveways or permanent drainage beds. For driveways and drainage in Venice’s coastal environment, crushed rock or a compacted rock base provides better load-bearing, drainage, and salt resistance; decomposed granite works well for walkways, and sand is better for bedding pavers rather than bulk fill.
Yes, Venice falls under Los Angeles stormwater and coastal protections, so construction activities must control erosion and runoff, and larger projects may require erosion control plans or SWPPP measures. Disposal of contaminated soil is regulated, so if your fill contains debris or potential contaminants, coordinate with the city and your supplier to meet local environmental rules.
Costs vary by job size, but typical ranges are helpful: equipment with operator (skid steer or mini-excavator) often runs $100 to $250 per hour, vibratory roller or compactor $80 to $150 per hour, and labor rates commonly $50 to $100 per hour per worker. Small residential spreading and compaction projects often fall between $300 and $1,200 total, while larger jobs will be quoted per hour or per project; get written estimates from local contractors.
Yes, acceptable fill dirt should be clean and relatively free of organic material, trash, roots, and construction debris; coastal sites also raise concerns about salt content. For foundations or engineered fills, ask for screened material and supplier documentation, and consider soil testing if the source is unknown or the site is near former industrial or contaminated properties.
Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck and require clear access, a safe drop zone, and awareness of overhead wires or low-clearance areas. Tailgate spreading can sometimes be requested at checkout but is done at the driver's discretion; for tight sites or staged deliveries, tell Hello Gravel in the Order Notes and coordinate permits for street parking or multiple truck loads if needed.
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.

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.
