Remember that material appearance and texture can vary by local geology.

Fill-dirt compacts well when placed in controlled lifts (generally 6-8 inches) and compacted with the right equipment and moisture conditioning. In Marana, sandy or caliche-influenced soils drain quickly but can settle or erode during heavy monsoon rains if not graded and stabilized. For exposed areas, add erosion control measures, proper drainage, or a stabilization layer to limit washouts.

Fill-dirt in our region typically ranges from about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so 1 cubic yard is roughly 1.3 tons and 1 ton is about 0.75 cubic yards. To estimate: multiply the area (sq ft) by depth (ft) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by 1.3 to estimate tons. Example: a 20 by 40 ft driveway at 4 inches deep is about 9.9 cubic yards or roughly 13 tons.

Fill-dirt is suitable for raising grade or non-structural backfill, but for a durable driveway base you should use an engineered aggregate like crusher run or compacted road base. Engineered fills are designed and compacted to carry vehicle loads and resist raveling; using fill-dirt as the wearing surface will require more maintenance and is more prone to erosion during monsoons. For garages and structural pads, follow an engineer or local code for approved materials.

Permitting depends on the volume of fill, grading changes, and location. Marana is in Pima County, and larger grading or drainage changes often require permits or a grading plan from the Town of Marana or Pima County Planning and Development. Before ordering large quantities, contact the Town of Marana permits office or a local civil engineer to confirm requirements and avoid potential stop-work or rework.

For structural work, engineered fill compacted to project specifications is best; typical compaction targets are around 95% of standard Proctor as specified by a geotechnical engineer. If using fill-dirt for non-structural backfill, place it in 6-8 inch loose lifts and compact each lift with appropriate equipment and moisture control. Always follow the site engineer or local building department for final compaction and depth requirements.

Maintenance depends on initial compaction, surfacing, and drainage. A properly compacted base with a gravel or crusher-run wearing layer will need periodic grading and limited top-up every few years, while bare fill-dirt surfaces will ravel and require more frequent regrading, especially after monsoon storms. Installing edging, drainage swales, or a stabilizing surface can significantly reduce maintenance.

Most deliveries in our network use tri-axle dump trucks that carry roughly 10-14 cubic yards per load, though exact capacity varies by truck and local weight limits. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request spreading at checkout but expect the driver to assess safety and access on arrival. Check access points, overhead lines, driveway weight limits, neighborhood rules, and give clear drop location notes to avoid delays.

Pricing depends on material type and quality, moisture content, local availability, haul distance from the source, order size, delivery window, access constraints, and any requested spreading or compaction services. Seasonal demand and permits or special handling (tight access, long carry distances) can add to cost. For exact pricing, enter your zip code on our site or contact the Hello Gravel team for a quote.

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.
