A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries roughly 12 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, but truck size can vary. Total cost for a truckload with delivery and optional tailgate spreading typically ranges from about $300 to $800 depending on distance, material, and whether you request spreading (drivers may spread at their discretion and extra fees can apply).

We price and sell fill dirt by cubic yard, ton, and by truckload depending on supplier and delivery method; homeowners usually find cubic yards easiest for small to medium projects while contractors often buy by ton or truckload. Use cubic yards to estimate how much you need, and keep in mind Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.

Fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than decorative gravel because it is screened soil intended for raising grade and filling low spots. For driveways and areas with traffic you should order a compacted gravel base and surface; use fill dirt for grading and raising low areas but not as the final wearing surface.

You should not use fill dirt as the finished surface for a driveway. For a durable driveway you need a properly compacted granular base (gravel) with appropriate compaction and drainage; fill dirt can be used to raise grades but must be capped with compacted gravel and mechanically compacted to meet performance needs.

Yes — fill dirt should be graded and often compacted before installing sod, pavers, or gravel to prevent settling and uneven surfaces. Hello Gravel can request tailgate spreading from drivers at checkout but we do not provide guaranteed compaction services; for mechanical compaction hire a landscaper or equipment rental for plate compactors or rollers.

Costs vary by driveway length and desired depths, but here is a ballpark example for a 20-foot-wide by 100-foot-long driveway with a 4-inch fill-dirt lift and 4-inch gravel surface: you would need about 25 cubic yards of each material. Using ballpark delivered prices of $20 per cubic yard for fill dirt and $35 per cubic yard for gravel plus delivery, expect materials and delivery to run roughly $1,500 to $2,000; this estimate excludes compaction, geotextile, labor, and permits.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers to deliver fill dirt, sand, and gravel to Shawnee-area zip codes when available through our network. Delivery fees depend on your exact zip code and order size; our checkout will show delivery options and fees, standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

Use this rule: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, a 1,000 sq ft area raised 4 inches needs about 12.3 cubic yards; at a ballpark delivered price of $15 to $35 per cubic yard that project would cost roughly $185 to $430 for materials and delivery, not including spreading or compaction services.

Large grading, significant elevation changes, or work that affects drainage may require permits or erosion controls from the City of Shawnee or Johnson County. Hello Gravel does not obtain permits for customers, but our team can advise you, provide delivery documentation, and recommend contacting Shawnee Public Works or Planning to confirm permit requirements before you schedule a large delivery.

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.
