Fill Dirt in Garfield, AR

Delivered fill dirt in Garfield typically runs about $12 to $30 per cubic yard, depending on volume ordered, truck access, and how much screening or clean fill is requested. Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; same-week delivery is often possible but depends on supplier schedule and local demand. Our minimum order is 3 tons, so check the order calculator or contact our team to confirm pricing and available delivery windows.

Per cubic yard, plain fill dirt is usually cheaper than crushed gravel, but crushed rock is the right material for a driveway base because it drains and compacts better. In West Arkansas you might see fill dirt at $12 to $25/yd3 delivered and crushed gravel at $25 to $60/yd3 delivered; installed gravel driveways typically range $2 to $6 per square foot including basic grading and compaction. For a 20 ft wide driveway, final cost depends on length, existing conditions, and required depth of base material.

Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if it can be done safely, but spreading and compaction by the supplier are not guaranteed services. Mechanical compaction and controlled spreading are usually performed by contractors; expect equipment and labor costs in the range of $50 to $150 per hour or a contractor flat fee depending on job size. When you order, request spreading in the Order Notes and ask our team for contractor referrals and cost estimates.

Typical tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, though smaller or larger trucks are sometimes used based on site access. Using common delivered prices, a single truckload of fill dirt will often cost somewhere in the low hundreds to several hundred dollars (roughly $150 to $700), with exact pricing set by volume, distance, and local supplier rates. Remember that 1 cubic yard of fill dirt weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons, so weight limits and our 3-ton minimum can affect small orders.

Yes—proper compaction of fill dirt is important before you install gravel or pavement to reduce future settling and ensure load-bearing capacity. Most delivery drivers do not provide mechanical compaction as part of delivery; compaction is typically done by a contractor or by renting a plate compactor or roller. For driveway or foundation work, plan to compact in lifts (layers) to the required depth rather than dumping all material and compacting once.

You can place gravel over existing dirt for light-duty paths, but for a durable driveway or paved surface you should correct low spots, add clean fill dirt where needed, and compact the base before installing crushed stone. In Garfield's soils and seasonal wet periods, adding and compacting fill dirt or engineered subbase helps prevent rutting and washouts. If drainage or soft spots are present, address those with compacted fill and proper base rock before topping with gravel.

"Poor man's concrete" usually refers to a compacted mix of crusher-run stone or fines that locks together to give a hard surface without poured concrete. It can be cheaper upfront than poured concrete but is not as long-lasting or maintenance-free, especially in wet climates or under heavy vehicle loads. For many Garfield projects, a properly prepared compacted fill dirt base plus crushed stone is a more predictable and affordable choice than trying to substitute for concrete; evaluate traffic loads and maintenance tolerance when choosing between options.

Contractor prices vary with site conditions, but a common installed range for a gravel driveway in the region is about $2 to $8 per square foot. For example, a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway (1,000 sq ft) could cost roughly $2,000 to $8,000, including fill dirt, base rock, grading, and compaction—site access, drainage work, and required depths drive the price. Ask for written estimates and site-specific scopes; Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers and local contractors for quotes.

Some local suppliers and contractors in West Arkansas will provide free estimates, while others may charge for on-site visits depending on job size and travel distance. Hello Gravel can request quotes from multiple suppliers in your area and often provide volume estimates from plans or measurements you submit. For larger projects we recommend an on-site assessment to confirm quantities, access, and any grading needs before finalizing pricing.

Seasonal demand, heavy rain, and frozen ground can affect supplier availability and pricing in West Arkansas; spring and fall landscaping months are typically busier. You can reserve delivery dates via our checkout calendar, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, but we recommend booking as far in advance as possible for large jobs. If weather or site conditions look questionable, your supplier or driver will assess safety and may reschedule.

To estimate cubic yards, multiply the area in square feet by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 (area x depth / 27 = cubic yards). For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft area by 3 inches (0.25 ft) requires about 9.3 cubic yards of fill dirt. Hello Gravel offers a material calculator on the site and our sales team can help check your numbers and factor in compaction and waste.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
