Why West Covina Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
West Covina is home to 168,133 residents and sits within a growing metro that supports a regional population of 2.5+ million. With a steady growth rate of 1.00% annually and a temperate, sun-filled climate (225 sunny days per year, hardiness zone 8b), the city sees consistent demand for residential renovations, new landscaping, and infill construction. Annual rainfall of 34.70 inches makes drainage and proper grading important for yards and small foundations. Homeowners and contractors in the area seek reliable aggregates to control settling, improve drainage, and speed project timelines; clean, well-graded fill dirt reduces the chance of rework and protects plantings and hardscape investments in West Covina's climate. Fill dirt is commonly used locally to raise grades, fill depressions, and provide stable support for patios, driveways, and foundation backfill. Given West Covina's cycle of abundant sun and measurable seasonal rain, choose low-organic, compactable fill dirt that promotes stability and minimizes erosion. Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and professional dump-truck delivery so you can pick your delivery date, see transparent pricing, and get materials that reflect the region's geology. Standard delivery is available in 2+ business days, next-day delivery may be offered for earlier orders, and drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion.Popular Projects in West Covina This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - West Covina Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in West Covina.
Generally yes. Fill dirt is less processed than gravel and is usually less expensive per cubic yard or ton, but prices vary by supplier and availability in the West Covina area. Get a local quote through Hello Gravel to compare exact delivery and material costs for your address.
Fill dirt is mostly native soil with fine particles used to raise or level ground and compact well; gravel is crushed stone used for drainage and stable surfaces. Use fill dirt to build up low areas or for structural backfill, and use gravel where water needs to move or for a stable base for driveways.
Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (square feet * depth in inches) / 324. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep needs about 12.3 cubic yards of fill dirt; add 10% for compaction and uneven grade and check with Hello Gravel for a precise estimate.
Prices depend on truck type, total volume, and local supplier rates, so costs can vary widely in West Covina. Hello Gravel can provide an exact delivered price for your zip code and project after you enter the amount you need and your delivery access conditions.
Yes, you can place fill dirt over existing soil to raise or level areas, but preparation matters: remove vegetation, address soft spots, and compact the new fill in layers to prevent future settling. If the area affects drainage or structures, consider consulting a contractor or geotechnical advice before adding significant depth.
No, fill dirt is not a substitute for drainage material because it is fine-grained and holds water. For drainage applications in West Covina, use clean gravel or drainage rock and a proper drain system; if you are unsure, ask Hello Gravel about suitable drainage aggregates for local soil conditions.
Two inches of fill dirt is usually too thin for most leveling or load-bearing needs and will compact down further. For grading and lawn areas, 4 to 6 inches is common, while structural fill under slabs or driveways typically requires deeper, compacted lifts and may need engineered fill—get guidance for your specific use.
You can order fill dirt through Hello Gravel's website and enter your West Covina zip code to see local supplier availability and delivery options. Minimum orders apply, deliveries are typically by dump truck (tri-axle), and you can request delivery date, tailgate spreading when available, and add delivery notes for access or drop location.
Heavy trucks can damage driveways, especially narrow or older surfaces. To reduce risk, place plywood to spread weight, choose a drop location with good access, or ask the driver to leave material in the street if allowed; notify Hello Gravel of driveway concerns when you order so suppliers can plan accordingly.
Minor amounts of fill dirt for routine landscaping usually do not require permits, but significant grading, large fills, or changes to drainage may trigger City of West Covina grading or building permits. Check with West Covina Building & Safety before major deliveries, and let Hello Gravel know if your project might need permits so we can flag it during scheduling.
Calculate cubic yards using: (square feet * depth in inches) / 324. A 20x20 area (400 sq ft) filled to 6 inches needs about 7.4 cubic yards of fill dirt; add 10% to account for compaction and settling and confirm with Hello Gravel for delivery sizing.
Inspect the load at delivery and take photos if you see unexpected debris or material that appears out of spec. Contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier to address the issue; review our refund and issue-resolution guidance for next steps.
Place fill dirt in thin lifts (commonly 4 to 6 inches) and compact each layer to reduce settling, especially for driveways, pads, or where structures will sit. For critical or deep fills in the West Covina area, hire a contractor or follow engineering specs to ensure proper compaction and stability.
Fill dirt can raise low spots to redirect surface water, but it should be part of a graded plan that maintains proper slope and discharge points. Because West Covina soils may include fine-grained material, pair fill dirt with drainage features like swales, gutters, and gravel-filled trenches when needed and consult a pro for larger drainage concerns.
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.
