Hello Gravel connects you with suppliers in Tooele County and nearby Salt Lake markets; specific quarries and pits vary by order and availability. Typical lead time for fill-dirt in the Erda area is our standard 2+ business days, with next-day delivery possible if ordered before the cutoff; minimum orders start at 3 tons.

For one square foot, 4 inches of fill is about 0.0123 cubic yards, roughly 0.015 tons; 6 inches is about 0.0185 cubic yards, roughly 0.022 tons. In practical terms, 100 sq ft at 4 inches needs about 1.25 cubic yards (≈1.5 tons), and at 6 inches about 1.85 cubic yards (≈2.2 tons); 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches needs ~12.3 cu yd (≈14.8 tons). Use Hello Gravel’s calculator for exact quantities based on your project size.

Ask for non-organic, well-graded fill dirt with few large rocks and minimal topsoil or vegetation; contractors often specify 'fill dirt' or 'structural fill' rather than topsoil. Place in 4-8 inch lifts and compact each lift to about 90% to 95% of standard Proctor where structural stability is required, and consider adding a gravel layer for driveway subbase to improve drainage and load-bearing.

Fill-dirt performs better than organic topsoil because it contains fewer voids and vegetation that hold moisture, but it is less resistant to frost heave than engineered, well-draining aggregate. In Erda’s cold, arid winters, combining compacted fill-dirt with a granular buffer (crushed rock) and proper drainage reduces frost-related movement more effectively than fill-dirt alone.

Small homeowner projects often incur equipment rental and labor costs in the $300 to $1,200 range for compaction and basic grading, while contractors include those costs in their bids and can be more cost-effective on larger jobs. Additional items like geotextile fabric, rental of a plate compactor or small roller, and local hauling fees typically add to the project total; request a local estimate through Hello Gravel or your contractor for accurate pricing.

Fill-dirt is good for bulk volume and leveling but contains more fines and holds moisture relative to crusher fines or road base, so it compacts well but drains less. For a durable Erda driveway or building pad, contractors typically prefer road base or crushed stone for the subbase and use fill-dirt only for bulk raising or areas covered by vegetation; long-term maintenance and drainage are usually better with engineered aggregates.

Local rules can affect deliveries: check Tooele County and City of Erda requirements for dirt/grading permits if you are changing elevations, and be aware that some neighborhood roads have weight or time-of-day restrictions. Hello Gravel coordinates deliveries with local haulers, but you should confirm any required permits or HOA restrictions before scheduling a large drop.

Areas filled with fill-dirt often settle and may need light regrading or additional material in the first 1 to 3 years, especially where compaction or drainage was inadequate. Proper compaction, erosion control, and drainage extend life considerably; vegetated lawn areas can be stable for many years, while unpaved access paths may need replenishing every few seasons depending on use and weather.

Yes, blending fill-dirt with sand, small gravel, or coarse material improves drainage and stability on slopes common around Erda; adding a small percentage of sand or crushed rock reduces cohesion and helps water move through the fill. Blending raises material costs but can significantly reduce erosion and settlement problems on slopes, so discuss options and pricing with your supplier via Hello Gravel.

Order at least the 3-ton minimum and allow our standard 2+ business days for delivery or request next-day service before the cutoff, and add delivery notes for preferred dump location and access details. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout and note the driver will assess on arrival; also share permits or HOA rules up front to prevent delays.

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.
