Frequently Asked Questions about Fill Dirt in San Bernardino

In our experience, San Bernardino soils include sandy loam near the foothills and silty clay loam in the valley floor. These soils are often used as fill dirt, but high clay content can impact drainage—amending with compost or gritty mix is often recommended.

We typically see bulk fill dirt delivered for about $32–$40 per cubic yard, while screened topsoil or garden mix runs $65–$80 per yard. Prices may vary based on distance, truck size, and access to the delivery site.

In our experience, local landscape yards and wholesale dirt suppliers in San Bernardino offer fill dirt, screened topsoil, recycled mulch, and compost-enriched blends in bulk. Most deliver via 10–15 yd dump trucks, with delivery fees influenced by site access and load size.

Yes, large-scale dirt movement like land grading, fill placement, or excavation in San Bernardino County typically requires a permit from the Land Use Services Department. Small-scale dirt work, such as topping flower beds or minor landscaper fill, usually doesn’t need a permit—but it’s best to double-check.

We often recommend soil testing via county agricultural extension offices or local labs before doing major dirt work. Additionally, soil amendments like compost, gypsum, and mushroom mix are widely available from local garden centers to improve soil structure, drainage, and plant health.

Yes—clean fill dirt is often accepted for backfill, grading, or landscaping projects, but excavated soil from demolition or unknown sites should be tested first. Contaminated or debris-laden dirt must be taken to designated recycling centers or approved landfills, not scattered on-site.

We recommend planning dirt and soil projects between March and October. During these warmer, drier months, fill dirt delivery, grading, and smoothing are easier and less prone to erosion. Winter rains from November to February can delay projects and destabilize clay-rich soils.

A cubic yard of dirt covers roughly 100 ft² at 3″ depth. Most bulk dirt is delivered by standard dump truck (10–15 yd capacity). Delivery fees vary, and it’s wise to order a little extra—about 5–10% more—to account for compaction and spillage during loading.
