Fill Dirt in Dewey, AZ

Typical delivered prices for basic, unscreened fill-dirt in Dewey (West Arizona) commonly fall in the range of $12 to $35 per ton depending on supplier, haul distance, and whether the material is screened or contains rock. Orders of only a few tons will be at the higher end because of minimums and truck mobilization; larger loads usually lower the per-ton price. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows upfront pricing and delivery fees at checkout.

Fill-dirt is best used as general grade-raising material and should be free of organics; it is not an ideal wearing surface for driveways. For driveways in Dewey, use fill-dirt only as subgrade, topped by a structural base like 3/4" crushed stone or crusher-run for strength and drainage. For foundation backfill, use clean, compactable fill (no large rocks or debris) and follow an engineer's recommendations—sometimes granular structural backfill or sand is required instead of plain fill-dirt.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order. Common local hauling uses tri-axle dump trucks that typically carry about 10–14 cubic yards (roughly 12–20 tons depending on moisture and material density). Additional fees may apply for next-day delivery requests, tight access, long driveway carries, or jobs that require offloading assistance; exact fees are shown at checkout or disclosed by the supplier.

Use this as a rule of thumb for fill-dirt density in Dewey: 3" depth = 0.0093 cubic yards per sq ft (about 0.011–0.013 tons per sq ft); 6" depth = 0.0185 cubic yards per sq ft (about 0.022–0.026 tons per sq ft); 12" depth = 0.0370 cubic yards per sq ft (about 0.044–0.052 tons per sq ft). For a practical example, 1,000 sq ft needs ~9.3 yd3 (11–13 tons) at 3", ~18.5 yd3 (22–26 tons) at 6", and ~37.0 yd3 (44–52 tons) at 12". Variations in moisture and compaction can change tonnage, so order a small extra allowance for settlement and grading.

Residential projects in Dewey commonly call for mechanical compaction in lifts, with many contractors aiming for roughly 90% of standard compaction tests or meeting the engineer's spec. For pricing, contractors often include compaction in grading bids, but standalone compaction add-ons can range roughly $1 to $5 per cubic yard or a mobilization/minimum fee of about $200 to $600 for small jobs. Always confirm the required compaction spec with your engineer or local building department and get the compaction method and price in writing.

Dewey's hot, dry conditions dry out fill-dirt quickly, which helps compaction but can lead to cracking; the summer monsoon brings intense, short-duration storms that can cause rapid erosion if grade work is not stabilized. Plan for proper slope grading, erosion control (silt fence, straw wattles), and drainage channels before monsoon season. Consider a compacted granular layer or surface material on exposed areas to reduce washout and add check drains or swales to direct stormwater away from structures.

Large fill projects or regrading on a lot in Dewey may trigger Yavapai County permits, especially when changes affect drainage, exceed specified cut/fill volumes, or are in sensitive areas; HOA rules may also limit visible grading or material deliveries. Before a big delivery, check Yavapai County Planning and Zoning and your HOA covenants, and contact Hello Gravel or your supplier if you need documentation for permits. When in doubt, call the county or your HOA to confirm requirements so you avoid fines or having to rework the site.

Fill-dirt is typically the least expensive but is not suitable as a final driveway surface because it compacts poorly for traffic and can rut or wash out. Crusher run provides a firm, well-graded base with good compaction and drainage and is the preferred, mid-priced choice for driveways in this region. Decomposed granite can work well for a low-maintenance, natural-looking surface in dry climates but may require stabilizers and more ongoing upkeep than crusher run; overall choose crusher run for durability and DG for aesthetics in low-traffic situations.

Screened (finer) fill-dirt is commonly available from local suppliers in West Arizona but usually costs more than unscreened material. Typical lead times in the Dewey area are 2 to 7 business days depending on local stock, truck availability, and whether you request screening or special delivery timing; Hello Gravel lists standard delivery as 2+ business days with next-day options when available. If you need screened material, request it at checkout and allow extra lead time for processing and screening.

Use caution: do not place uncompacted organic-rich fill over septic drain fields; local health department rules often restrict materials and compaction near septic systems. For retaining walls, use engineered backfill (clean, granular material and drainage) behind the wall rather than plain fill-dirt, and consider geogrid for higher walls. On sloped lots in Dewey, place fill in lifts with compaction, install erosion control and drainage measures, and consult an engineer for larger fills to avoid instability or drainage issues.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
