Prices vary by supplier and delivery distance, but delivered loose fill-dirt in the Fitchburg area typically runs in the range of about $12 to $35 per ton as an estimate.

Use Hello Gravel to check availability in your Fitchburg zip code and get quotes from local suppliers and haulers; we handle ordering, scheduling, and delivery by dump truck. You can also call our team for help selecting screened or unscreened fill-dirt depending on whether you need a finish grade or a bulk raise.

To raise 1,500 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 750 cubic feet, which is roughly 27.8 cubic yards. At roughly 1.2 to 1.35 tons per cubic yard for fill-dirt, expect about 33 to 38 tons (we usually round up and add 10% for settlement and compaction). Order a little extra if you plan to compact in lifts or if the site has uneven spots.

Fill-dirt alone is not a good finished surface for driveways in Fitchburg because freeze-thaw cycles and wet conditions can cause settling and frost heave. Use fill-dirt to raise or level grade, then install a structural base like crusher run or crushed stone with proper drainage and compaction for a durable driveway surface.

Use fill-dirt to build up grade or fill low spots, but choose crusher run (a compactable stone base) as the structural material for a garage apron. Crusher run compacts tightly and resists frost heave better than plain fill-dirt, so it provides a more stable, long-lasting apron in Fitchburg's climate.

Many local contractors and landscapers in the Fitchburg area offer spreading and compaction services; Hello Gravel drivers may be able to tailgate-spread at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. If you need guaranteed spreading and compaction, request those services when ordering or hire a local contractor to compact and grade after delivery.

Fill-dirt used alone as a driving surface tends to settle and rut more quickly, often needing repairs within 1 to 3 seasons under regular vehicle traffic. With proper compaction, a geotextile, drainage, and a wearing course of crushed stone, a route can last several years longer, but maintenance intervals depend on traffic, drainage, and soil conditions.

Yes, Fitchburg's clay soils can lead to significant settlement and slow drainage; compaction in thin lifts (4 to 6 inches) with proper equipment reduces settlement. We recommend planning for 10% to 20% extra material to account for settlement and hiring compaction or grading services to get the best results.

Large fills or changes to grade in Fitchburg may be subject to city and Dane County rules for grading, erosion control, and stormwater management. Check with the City of Fitchburg Engineering or Zoning departments before ordering large volumes, and disclose your plans to Hello Gravel so we can help schedule deliveries appropriately.

Screened fill-dirt is typically more expensive than unscreened fill because of processing; in Fitchburg you can expect screened fill-dirt to be toward the higher end of local ranges, roughly $18 to $45 per ton as a general estimate.
