Fill Dirt in Fort Mohave, AZ

Fill dirt is generally cheaper per ton than crushed gravel in Fort Mohave because it is a basic soil product used to raise grade. However gravel provides structural strength and drainage for driveways, so you often use a cheaper fill-dirt layer under a more expensive gravel surface. Ask for a local quote to compare total installed cost for your specific project.

Delivered prices vary by supplier and haul distance, but in West Arizona delivered fill dirt commonly ranges roughly $15 to $40 per ton. Fort Mohave prices tend to fall inside that range, and your final price will depend on local supply, distance from the pit, and whether delivery fees apply.

Fill dirt is a fine-grained soil used to raise or level ground and is not meant to be a wearing surface; it is good for filling voids and building grade. Gravel is a coarse aggregate used for drainage and as a durable surface for paths and driveways. For driveways the common approach is compacted fill dirt to build the grade, then a compacted gravel top layer for strength and traction.

At 2 inches deep, 1,000 sq ft requires about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 7 to 9 tons). At 6 inches deep, it needs about 18.5 cubic yards (roughly 22 to 28 tons). Using a typical delivered price range of $15 to $40 per ton, the 2-inch fill would roughly cost $100 to $360 delivered and the 6-inch fill roughly $330 to $1,120 delivered; get a local quote for an exact price.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of material (roughly 12 to 18 tons for fill dirt). Truckload cost depends on material rate and haul distance, but a single load often runs several hundred dollars to near $1,000 in remote cases. As an example, a 12 cubic yard load will cover about 1,000 sq ft at about 3.9 inches deep, so choose load size based on the depth you need.

Assuming a common 20 ft long by 10 ft wide single-car driveway (200 sq ft), a 4-inch compacted fill-dirt base needs about 2.5 cubic yards (about 3 to 4 tons) and a 2-inch gravel top needs about 1.2 cubic yards (about 1.5 to 2 tons). Using typical delivered prices, expect material-and-delivery cost roughly in the $150 to $400 range depending on product choice and haul distance. Exact pricing depends on your driveway dimensions, chosen gravel size, and whether spreading or compaction services are required.

You can put gravel over existing dirt only if the existing surface is stable, free of organics, well-drained, and properly compacted. If the soil is soft, uneven, or full of vegetation, you should add clean fill dirt to build grade and then compact it before installing gravel to prevent future settling. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but compaction is not guaranteed by delivery drivers and usually requires separate equipment or a contractor.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level backyards in Fort Mohave, especially for eliminating low spots. To calculate quantities, multiply area (sq ft) by desired depth (ft) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, and then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to 1.6 to estimate tons. Remember Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons, and our material calculator can help you pick the right order size for your project.

Yes, compaction is recommended before adding gravel for driveways and any load-bearing surfaces in West Arizona to reduce future settling. Most delivery drivers do not provide mechanical compaction as part of the delivery; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion but is not a guarantee. Plan to rent a plate compactor or hire a local contractor for compaction if you need a stable base.
