Why Woodland Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Woodland's city population is 59,660 and the area is part of a growing metro serving 2.5+ million people, with steady expansion at a 0.70% annually rate. In this temperate setting (Hardiness Zone 8b) homeowners and local builders benefit from 228/year sunny days and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches, conditions that support year-round outdoor work and steady construction activity. That steady growth and favorable climate drive demand for reliable bulk materials for grading, foundation backfill, yard reshaping, and site preparation. Homeowners often look for straightforward, quality materials that perform predictably in Woodland's climate — and Fill Dirt is one of the basic building blocks for many of those projects.Popular Projects in Woodland This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Woodland Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Woodland.
Yes. Fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and level yards, but it should be placed in 4 to 6 inch lifts and mechanically compacted to reduce settling. In Woodland's hot, dry summers you should also plan for proper grading and drainage so water does not pool after filling. After leveling, cap with several inches of topsoil if you plan to plant grass or gardens.
Technically you can use topsoil as fill, but it is not ideal. Topsoil contains organic matter and costs more, and it tends to compress and settle differently than subsoil fill, which can create future low spots. For the cheapest, most stable fill in Woodland use clean fill dirt and reserve topsoil for the final planting layer.
Most plants will struggle to grow directly in fill dirt because it lacks organic matter and nutrients. In Woodland's climate, add 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or compost on top of the fill and test the soil pH before planting to get good results. For lawns, a dedicated topsoil cap is strongly recommended.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard or ton than screened topsoil because it requires less processing and has lower organic content. Exact pricing varies by local supplier and delivery factors, so check Hello Gravel for up-to-date quotes and remember our minimum order is 3 tons. If you need planting-ready ground, budget for both fill dirt and a topsoil cap.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and site access. In Woodland you can expect a wide range depending on those factors; the fastest way to get an accurate price is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel and request a local quote. Our checkout shows delivery fees and available dates so you can compare options.
The most cost-effective approach is buying loose fill dirt and doing the work yourself: order the correct amount, place material in thin lifts, and compact as you go using rented equipment. Save money by selecting a nearby supplier through Hello Gravel to reduce haul costs, but factor in rental, labor, and compaction time when comparing DIY versus hiring a contractor. For steep grades or structural needs, get professional advice first.
Use this simple rule: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324. Round up to allow for compaction and settlement, and remember Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order so check whether your needed volume meets that threshold. If you prefer, use our online material calculator or contact our team for help estimating.
Yes, some settlement is normal, especially if material is placed in large lifts or not compacted. To minimize future settling in Woodland, place fill in 4 to 6 inch layers and compact each layer mechanically; allow time for any additional settling before finishing surfaces. Expect to plan for minor touch-up fill after several months.
Fill dirt can be used under slabs and pads if it is clean, free of organic material, and specified to meet compaction and gradation requirements. For structural work you should follow an engineer's recommendations and use tested, compactable fill; Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers who provide subgrade materials. Do not assume standard fill dirt is adequate for load-bearing without verification.
Because fill dirt is usually subsoil it often contains less organic matter and fewer weed seeds than topsoil, but sources vary. Ask your Hello Gravel supplier whether the material is screened or contains roots and seeds if weed prevention is important. If you receive material with debris, contact customer service promptly to discuss options.
Hello Gravel delivers fill dirt in dump trucks (typically tri-axle) with a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery is available in 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is possible for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion but is not guaranteed. Enter your Woodland zip code on our site for exact availability and pricing.
Woodland has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, and local soils can include heavier clays in parts of Yolo County. That means fill dirt may compact differently and drainage is an important consideration; you may need more effort to establish lawns or gardens unless you cap with topsoil and amend as needed. Always mention local conditions to your supplier so they can recommend the best material.
Permit requirements vary by project type and local jurisdiction; small residential grading for leveling usually does not require a permit, but significant grading, changes to drainage, or large import volumes may need approval. Check Woodland city or Yolo County building department rules for your project and consult a local contractor or Hello Gravel if you are unsure. It's your responsibility to confirm permitting before delivery.
Wait until the fill has been compacted and allowed to settle; lightly compacted fills may settle further over weeks to months. In practice, cap the fill with 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil and plant into that layer as soon as it is in place; for best results in Woodland's climate, prepare soil amendments and irrigation before planting. For large projects, allow longer settling and monitor for low spots that need topping up.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
