Stockton Fill Dirt FAQ

In our experience, Stockton soil is largely made up of San Joaquin clay loam and alluvial deposits from the Delta region. These soils are commonly used in fill dirt applications, but due to their clay content, they can retain water and compact easily, so soil testing is often recommended before reuse.

We typically see fill dirt delivered in Stockton for about $30–$38 per cubic yard. Screened topsoil, ideal for gardening and sod, generally ranges from $60–$76 per yard. Prices include basic delivery but may increase with distance or special handling.

Yes, the City of Stockton requires permits for most excavation or grading involving large volumes of dirt. Smaller projects like adding garden topsoil may not need a permit, but for fill dirt or structural grading, you’ll need approval through the Building and Life Safety Division.

We often recommend the San Joaquin County UC Cooperative Extension for basic and advanced soil testing. Local labs can test fill dirt for pH, contaminants, and structure—especially important before reuse or disposal.

In Stockton, local dump truck hauling for dirt typically ranges from $150 to $250 per load. If priced by the cubic yard, expect to pay $30 to $40 depending on the dirt type, location, and access to the site.

Disposal options include Allen’s Valley Loam and Element Landscape Materials. These sites accept clean fill dirt but may reject soil with debris or contamination. It's important to screen dirt before transport to avoid additional fees.

Yes, Stockton enforces regulations to prevent spreading contaminated dirt. Excavated soil should be tested if it’s from an unknown or industrial source. Clean fill dirt is generally allowed for landscaping, backfill, and non-structural uses.

We recommend planning dirt work from April to October. During these dry months, hauling, excavation, and fill dirt spreading are easier and safer. Wet winter months can slow progress and lead to unstable soil conditions.
