Frequently Asked Questions - Sunnyvale Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Sunnyvale.
Prices vary by source and moisture, but expect roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard (about $20 to $55 per ton) for bulk fill dirt delivered to the Sunnyvale area. These are estimates based on regional sourcing; final cost depends on supplier, haul distance, and whether material is screened or contains clay. Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST.
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers serving Sunnyvale, TX so you can get live pricing and delivery options for fill dirt in your zip code. Most local vendors and Hello Gravel require a minimum of about 3 tons (our minimum); larger minimums may apply when a supplier is farther away or when special material is requested. Deliveries are typically by tri-axle dump truck; add check-out notes for preferred drop location and spacing restrictions.
Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (length in feet * width in feet * depth in inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by about 1.2 to 1.5 (a good rule of thumb is 1.3 tons per cubic yard for typical Texas fill dirt). For example, a 20 x 10 foot area raised 6 inches needs roughly 3.7 cubic yards, or about 4.8 to 5.6 tons.
Fill dirt is fine for bulk elevation and non-structural grading, but many local fills in Sunnyvale contain clay that can expand and shrink with wetting and drying. For foundations, slabs, or bearing layers you should use engineered fill or granular aggregate and follow compaction testing; for yard raising, cap fill dirt with 4-6 inches of topsoil and use drainage measures to limit ponding. Discuss soil type and drainage with your contractor or Hello Gravel rep to pick the right material mix for your site.
Fill dirt is primarily for raising grade or filling voids and is not designed to provide a stable driving surface. Crusher run and base rock are graded, compactable mixes that lock together to form a firm base suitable for driveways and parking pads. For best results, use fill dirt only to bring grade up, then install several inches of compacted base rock or crusher run before surfacing.
Possibly; local rules vary so check with the Town of Sunnyvale building or permitting department before importing large volumes of fill dirt. Permits or grading approvals may be required for substantial grade changes, disturbance of drainage paths, or near property lines, and HOA rules may also apply. If you are working under a contractor, ask them to confirm permit requirements or contact your local building office for specifics.
Sunnyvale’s hot, dry summers and occasional heavy rains mean timing matters: very dry conditions can make compaction difficult, while heavy storms can saturate newly placed fill and cause settling. Schedule deliveries during moderate weather if possible, avoid ordering right before forecasted heavy rain, and plan for morning deliveries in extreme heat to reduce dust and moisture loss. If moisture control is a concern, ask suppliers about slightly damp material or coordinate watering and compaction on site.
For structural fills under slabs and drives, aim for compaction in the 90-95% Standard Proctor range (engineer or local code may require specific percent). Place fill in lifts of 4 to 8 inches and compact each lift; use a plate compactor for small areas and a vibratory drum roller for larger areas or deeper fills. Have a geotechnical engineer or tester perform density checks if the fill supports a structure or pavement to confirm compaction meets local requirements.
Labor and equipment costs vary, but typical residential rates for spreading and compacting fill dirt in the Sunnyvale/West Texas area generally run about $8 to $25 per cubic yard, depending on access, site prep, and depth. For machine rates, expect operator and equipment hourly charges around $80 to $150 per hour for skid steers and compactors on small jobs; larger projects may be quoted as lump sums. Always get at least two local quotes because site access, rock removal, and required testing can significantly change pricing.
Fill dirt installations (yard raises, utility backfill) will settle over time, often 3-6 months for initial settlement and longer for full consolidation, so plan to bring areas back up and add topsoil where needed. Driveways and pads that use fill dirt without a proper compacted base will deteriorate quickly; maintain by adding and regrading base rock or gravel as needed and addressing drainage. For landscaped areas, cap with topsoil, seed or sod, and watch for low spots after the first rainy season so you can correct them.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
