Fill Dirt in Bountiful, UT

Delivered prices vary by supplier, distance, and moisture, but expect roughly $10–$35 per ton or about $10–$30 per cubic yard for bulk fill-dirt in the Bountiful area. Heavier loads, screening, or short-notice delivery can raise the price, so request a quote through Hello Gravel to get an accurate delivered price for your zip code.

Fill-dirt density varies with moisture and composition, but a common rule of thumb is 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2–1.6 tons (loose). That means 1 ton is about 0.65–0.85 cubic yards; use the higher end for sandy, dry material and the lower end for clayey or moist material when estimating.

For Bountiful’s cold winters, choose well-draining, granular fill (clean sand or sand/gravel mix) or screened/washed gravel where frost protection is critical. Avoid high-clay or organic fill near foundations and paved areas because fine, wet soils retain water and increase frost-heave risk; crusher-run compacts well for bases but may need more drainage planning if fines are present.

Fill with poor drainage or lots of fines can hold water and be prone to frost heave and settling during freeze-thaw cycles, especially after heavy snowmelt. To reduce risk, use free-draining material, compact in lifts, provide positive surface drainage, and install subdrains or gravel trenches where runoff concentrates.

Small residential spots are usually compacted with a vibratory plate compactor or rammer; larger areas require a small roller or rented vibratory roller and compacting in 6–8 inch lifts to meet common compaction specs (often 90–95% Standard Proctor). Contractor rates vary, but you can expect modest-sized jobs to be in the low hundreds of dollars and hourly equipment/operator rates commonly ranging from about $50–$150; get local bids for exact pricing.

Large fills, any fill near building foundations, and significant grade changes often trigger permit and engineered-fill requirements in Bountiful and Davis County. Requirements and thresholds vary, so contact Bountiful City Building Division or your project engineer before placing large volumes—Hello Gravel can help you connect with local suppliers and recommend when to check with the building department.

Some settlement is common during the first winter or first full wet-dry cycle; inspect driveways after the first spring for dips, cracking, and pooling water. If you see low spots, regrade, add compacted fill, and re-compact as needed; many homeowners perform light maintenance within the first 1–3 years, with frequency declining if the base was properly compacted initially.

For driveways, a typical compacted granular base is 6–8 inches (some heavy-use drives use 8–12 inches) with a suitable surface layer on top; for lawn grading you typically add 3–6 inches of fill to change grades, then cover with topsoil for planting. Under-slab or structural fills should follow an engineer’s specs—engineered fills are placed in 6–8 inch lifts and compacted to required density rather than just placing loose fill-dirt.

Topsoil is for plant growth and holds water, so it is not effective for structural drainage or erosion control. Crusher-run and road base are angular, compactable aggregates that make better erosion-resistant and load-bearing layers; well-graded crushed rock or engineered road base provides better drainage and stability on slopes than loose fill-dirt alone. For slope stabilization, combine proper aggregate, grading, vegetation, and erosion-control measures such as geotextile or terraces.

Hello Gravel works with multiple local suppliers and haulers around West Utah and Bountiful who routinely sell bulk fill-dirt and offer delivery; some suppliers also provide screened material or blended mixes on request. Screening and compaction services may be offered by the supplier or by local contractors—add screening or delivery notes at checkout and call our team for help coordinating compaction contractors if you need a turnkey solution.

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.
