Fill Dirt in Highland, UT

Fill-dirt in the Highland area is usually cheaper than engineered fill or topsoil, but prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and season. Expect a broad local range roughly between $10 and $35 per ton delivered, but check your zip code on Hello Gravel for real-time quotes and exact pricing.

Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in inches) / 324. Then convert cubic yards to tons using a local weight estimate of about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard for fill-dirt, and contact Hello Gravel if you want us to calculate it for you.

Most local deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks carrying about 10 to 12 cubic yards per load (roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on material weight). Hello Gravel works with local fleets, and you can order the number of yards you need; the site shows minimum orders and estimated truck counts at checkout.

Fill-dirt can be used to raise grades but is not ideal as a finished driveway surface because it compacts and holds moisture, which can worsen freeze-thaw heave. For driveways in Highland, install a well-compacted fill subgrade then use a granular road base or crushed rock as the driving surface for durability and drainage.

Fill-dirt is mainly fine-grained material for raising grade or filling low spots and is economical for non-structural areas. Road base and crushed rock are coarse, free-draining, and suitable for driveways and traffic surfaces, while engineered fill is specified, tested, and compacted for foundations and structural pads. Choose based on the end use: aesthetic/landscaping fill versus structural or load-bearing needs.

Compact fill-dirt in thin lifts of 6 to 8 inches using a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller for larger ones, and control moisture to reach near-optimal compaction. Contractors often proof-roll and re-compact areas and may specify lab-tested compaction for building pads to reduce post-installation settling.

Highland and local HOAs can have rules about grading, retaining walls, setbacks, and changes to drainage, and permits may be required for significant grading or fills near lots and roads. Before buying or placing large volumes of fill-dirt, check Highland City planning/engineering and your HOA covenants to confirm permit and setback requirements.

Fill-dirt does not 'expire' but will settle over time, especially during the first 12 months, and may need top-up and regrading after heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles. Good compaction at installation and finishing with appropriate surface materials or vegetation will reduce maintenance and the need for frequent rework.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site conditions and local hauling rules. If you want spreading or compacting, request it at checkout and plan to hire a local contractor if guaranteed spreading and compaction are required.

Grade slopes to shed water away from foundations, install swales or French drains where needed, and consider erosion-control measures like seeding, hydroseeding, erosion blankets, or a geotextile underlay on steep slopes. Avoid placing uncompacted fill against foundations without engineered guidance, and work with a local contractor when fills approach structural elements.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers across the West Utah area, and some partners offer additional services like spreading or compaction, but availability varies by supplier. Use our checkout notes to request spreading or compaction and contact our team if you need help finding a supplier that offers these services in Highland.

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.
