Fill Dirt in Ogden, UT

Prices vary by source, season, and truck distance, but delivered fill-dirt to Ogden commonly falls in a modest range. Expect typical market pricing to vary; for planning use a rough ballpark of $10 to $25 per cubic yard (about $8 to $20 per ton) depending on quality, moisture, and delivery distance. For an exact, up-to-date price for your address, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote.

Hello Gravel connects you to local landscaping yards, soil suppliers, and quarry or pit operators in the Salt Lake City metro that deliver to Ogden. Supplier availability changes by zip code, but most providers serving Ogden require a minimum order near Hello Gravel's platform minimum of 3 tons, while some yards prefer truckload orders (10+ tons) for cheaper per-ton pricing. Use Hello Gravel’s checkout to see which partners and minimums apply to your delivery location.

Calculate volume first: 1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft (6 inches) = 500 cubic feet, which equals about 18.5 cubic yards (divide by 27). For planning, use a practical conversion of about 1.35 tons per cubic yard for fill-dirt in northern Utah, so 18.5 yd3 is roughly 25 tons. Always add 5-10% extra for settlement and compaction when ordering.

Yes. Ogden’s seasonal freeze-thaw and areas with high native clay can increase settling, heaving, and poor drainage if the fill-dirt has a lot of fines or clay. For yard grading, driveways, or near foundations, choose well-draining, properly graded fill and provide sub-surface drainage where needed; consider a geotechnical check for critical projects. Proper compaction and moisture control during placement reduce freeze-thaw movement.

For small, non-structural fills, compacted clean fill-dirt may be acceptable, but for foundation backfill or retaining-wall bases engineers typically prefer engineered fill or granular material like crushed rock. Structural applications in Ogden often require a material with low organic content and predictable compaction characteristics; check with a structural or geotechnical engineer and follow local code for critical loads. Hello Gravel can supply different grades, but confirm suitability before ordering for structural work.

Suppliers in the Salt Lake City metro may offer a mix of products: clean screened fill, standard unwashed fill-dirt, and sometimes recycled fill that can contain fines or debris. Higher-quality, screened fill is pricier but better for grading and near-structure work because it compacts more predictably and contains fewer organics. Always note quality needs in your order notes and ask suppliers about material tests or descriptions if your project has structural requirements.

Costs vary by crew size and equipment, but as a guide, expect labor rates in Ogden roughly $40 to $80 per hour per worker, small equipment (plate compactor) rental or contractor charge of $75 to $150 per day, and heavy equipment (skid steer, mini-excavator, or loader) $100 to $200 per hour. Some contractors charge a per-yard rate for spreading and compaction, commonly $3 to $8 per cubic yard for residential jobs. Get written estimates from local contractors, since access, site prep, and disposal add to costs.

Well-placed and compacted fill-dirt used for yard grading or landscaping can remain stable for many years, but expect some initial settlement during the first 6 to 12 months. Inspect drainage and grade after the first wet season and annually thereafter, regrading or adding material where washout or settling occurs. For driveways or structural areas, surface material and drainage maintenance should be scheduled regularly to prevent erosion and pooling.

Permit requirements depend on project scope and site location; small residential deliveries and minor grading often do not require a permit, but large-scale grading, changes to drainage, or work in certain zones may trigger permits or inspections. Before importing large volumes, contact Ogden City Planning and Building Departments to confirm permit thresholds and any erosion-control or haul-route rules. If your project alters lot grade or impacts stormwater, you should verify requirements to avoid fines or required remediation.

Yes. Winter weather, frozen ground, and road restrictions in northern Utah can limit deliveries and handling, while peak landscaping season in spring and summer can increase demand and prices. Plan ahead: order early in busy months and allow extra lead time in shoulder seasons; Hello Gravel shows scheduling availability during checkout and offers a next-day option when possible. If timing is critical, select a delivery date upfront and confirm with customer service.

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.
