Why Woodside Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Woodside has a city population of 48,742 and sits inside a growing metro that counts 2.5+ million residents. With an annual growth rate of 1.60% and a climate that averages 225 sunny days and 34.68 inches of rain per year, homeowners here are frequently managing grading, drainage, and yard renovations as properties evolve. The mild conditions of hardiness zone 8b encourage outdoor projects year-round, but steady development increases demand for reliable site materials. Because projects from shed pads to regrading for irrigation depend on stable base material, many Woodside homeowners seek quality fill dirt that compacts well and helps control settlement and runoff during seasonal rains.Popular Projects in Woodside This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Woodside Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Woodside.
Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise or level ground; it has few organic materials and compacts well. Gravel is an aggregate of small stones used for drainage and surface finish. Use fill dirt when you need structural support or to build up grade, and use gravel when you need drainage or a finished surface.
Generally fill dirt is cheaper per cubic yard than decorative gravel because it is unprocessed subsoil. In the Woodside area, Bay Area hauling and local sourcing can raise delivered costs, so the price gap narrows; request a Hello Gravel quote for an accurate delivered price. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons and delivery charges depend on distance and access.
Yes, but prepare the base first: compact the fill dirt, verify final grade, and install a geotextile or crushed base if needed to prevent mixing. Without proper compaction and a separation layer, gravel will sink into soft fill and rut over time. For driveways or high-traffic areas in hilly Woodside yards, proper base preparation is especially important.
A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10-12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (roughly 8-15 tons depending on moisture and compaction). Delivered load prices in the Woodside area vary with source, haul distance, and access; expect a wide range and request a quote, but typical delivered single-load costs often fall in the low hundreds to around $1,000 plus for longer hauls or difficult access. Contact Hello Gravel for a precise, delivered price and available delivery dates.
Use the formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 1 inch you need about 3.1 cubic yards; by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards. Convert to tons only as a rough estimate because moisture and compaction change weight; ask Hello Gravel for a weight-based quote if needed.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to level yards, terraces, and to regrade small slopes, but it must be placed in lifts and compacted to avoid future settling. Because Woodside has steep terrain and tree protection rules in some neighborhoods, larger grading projects may trigger permits or arborist input—check with the Town of Woodside before major fills. For small, DIY adjustments, order compactable fill dirt and plan for compaction equipment.
For drainage use gravel or clean rock, not fill dirt; gravel provides free-draining void space while fill dirt will hold water and reduce drainage. If you are improving a drainage trench in Woodside, install gravel, perforated pipe if needed, and fabric to keep fines out. Fill dirt is for building grade or support, not for making a drainable layer.
Yes, you can place fill dirt on existing soil, but the underlying surface should be stable and free of organic debris; new fill must be added in layers and compacted to minimize settling. Large additions of fill (depths over a foot or on steep slopes) can affect drainage and stability and may require engineering or permits in Woodside. For small topping or garden recontouring, professional delivery and compaction usually suffice.
A 3:1 slope means three horizontal feet for every one vertical foot and is a common guideline for stable, uncompacted fills without special reinforcement. When placing fill dirt on a slope in Woodside, following or exceeding this gentle slope helps reduce erosion and the need for retaining structures. Steeper fills often require engineered solutions, retaining walls, or permits, so consult local rules before you build up steep grades.
Fill dirt is low in organic matter, so use it to build or level grades but not as finished planting soil. For lawns and gardens in Woodside, cap the fill with 4-6 inches (or more for gardens) of topsoil or a 70/30 topsoil-to-compost mix to support plants and water retention. If you only have fill dirt on site, amend it with compost and topsoil before planting.
Possibly—Town of Woodside and San Mateo County have grading, tree protection, and stormwater rules that can apply when you import large volumes of fill or change site grades. For small residential deliveries under a certain volume you may not need permits, but larger fills, changes to drainage, or work near protected trees often require review. Check with the Town of Woodside Planning and Building Departments before ordering large quantities.
Hello Gravel delivers fill dirt using local contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and you can select a delivery date at checkout. Drivers may be able to tailgate-spread at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on access and safety—request the service at checkout and our team can advise. For precise placement or compaction, plan to arrange local equipment or contractors.
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.
