Fill Sand

Fill Sand

Fill sand is one of the most affordable and practical bulk materials for grading, backfilling, and raising the elevation of your property. Hello Gravel makes fill sand delivery simple — order online and we'll deliver it by dump truck directly to your driveway or job site.

Fill sand is a general-purpose, unscreened sand used to fill in low spots, build up grade around foundations, and provide a base layer for construction projects. It's not as refined as mason sand or concrete sand, which is what makes it cost-effective for large-volume jobs where appearance isn't the priority — getting the ground level is.

Common Uses for Fill Sand

Homeowners use fill sand to fill holes and depressions in their yards, backfill around retaining walls and foundations, and create a level base for sheds, driveways, and patios. It's also commonly used beneath concrete slabs to provide a stable, compactable layer before the pour.

Contractors rely on fill sand for grading lots, filling trenches after utility work, and building up land prior to construction. Because it compacts well and is easy to work with, fill sand is one of the most-ordered bulk materials for both residential and commercial projects.

For homeowners dealing with sinking soil, erosion, or low-lying areas that hold water, fill sand is the most cost-effective first step toward a level, stable yard.

Why Order Fill Sand Delivery from Hello Gravel?

When you need yards of sand to fill and grade, bagged sand doesn't make sense — it's expensive per unit and exhausting to haul. Hello Gravel's fill sand delivery gets you bulk material at per-ton pricing, delivered fast by dump truck. Order what you need, and we bring it right to your property.

How Much Fill Sand Do You Need?

Not sure how much to order? A good rule of thumb is that one ton of material covers roughly 100 square feet at about 2 inches deep, though this varies by product density and the depth you need. Hello Gravel's team can help you calculate the right amount for your project — just reach out with your square footage and we'll give you a quick estimate. It's always better to order a little extra than to run short mid-project.

Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!

We do not offer installation or spreading services as part of our material delivery.  However, depending on the location, site conditions, weather, and comfortability of the driver, we may be able to tailgate spread the material if the driver feels the location and conditions are suitable.

This involves slowly moving the truck forward while dumping the material to make it easier to distribute, but is not a guaranteed service.
