Fill Dirt in North Little Rock, AR

Prices vary by supplier, volume, and site access, but expect delivered fill-dirt in the North Little Rock area to run roughly $15 to $40 per ton. Smaller orders and difficult drop locations push costs toward the high end, while larger truckloads usually lower the per-ton price. For an accurate quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local supplier estimate.

Yes, the Little Rock metro has multiple local suppliers that deliver fill-dirt, and Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers and contracted haulers who offer dump-truck delivery. Delivery availability depends on your exact zip code, the supplier's regional inventory, and truck access to your site. Note the company minimum order is 3 tons and tailgate spreading is offered only at the driver’s discretion.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 12 tons using a 1.3 tons/yd3 average); for 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards (roughly 24 tons). Add 10 to 20 percent extra for compaction and settlement, so plan on approximately 13 to 15 tons for 3 inches and 26 to 29 tons for 6 inches. Always confirm density with your supplier because moisture and soil type change weight.

Fill-dirt is useful for raising grade and backfill on clay soils, but it is not ideal as a finished driveway surface because it compacts poorly and sheds water slowly. For driveways and structural pads you should use a granular base like crush-and-run or crushed stone over properly compacted fill-dirt. If you plan to drive on it or build a slab, discuss a layered approach with your contractor to prevent rutting and drainage issues.

Compacted fill-dirt can remain stable for years if placed correctly and kept away from standing water, but its performance depends on drainage and compaction quality. In Central Arkansas, heavy rain and seasonal moisture swings can cause settlement or erosion if the fill is not graded or capped with a drainage layer. Expect occasional maintenance like regrading or adding top layers if the area remains exposed to water flow.

Use fill-dirt to raise grade, fill low spots, or backfill trenches where structural strength is not required. Choose crush-and-run or compactable gravel for driveway bases, structural pads, and footing backfill because these materials drain better and compact to a stronger, load-bearing layer. For foundation work, follow engineer or building-code recommendations—many projects require a granular structural fill rather than plain fill-dirt.

Contractor rates vary by scope, site access, depth, and compaction requirements; a rough local range is about $15 to $40 per cubic yard installed and compacted for routine fill work. Small jobs often have higher per-unit costs because of mobilization and labor; larger jobs benefit from scale. Get at least two local bids and ask what tests or compaction passes are included before hiring.

For most small to moderate deliveries you do not need a permit, but regulations change based on volume, location, and whether the fill affects floodplains, stormwater flow, or wetlands. North Little Rock and Pulaski County may require permits or erosion-control plans for large fills or projects near streams and regulated flood zones, so check with the city planning or stormwater office if you plan to import several truckloads. When in doubt, contact the local permitting office or your Hello Gravel rep before delivery.

For compaction choose low-organic, clay-free 'select fill' or structural fill when available; straight subsoil with minimal topsoil and organics compacts more predictably than loamy garden soil. If drainage is important, mix in granular material or place a gravel drainage layer because pure fill-dirt typically holds moisture. Tell your Hello Gravel supplier the project purpose so they can match a suitable local material.

Yes, many local contractors offer plate compaction and ride-on roller services, and for larger or engineered projects you can hire geotechnical firms to perform field density tests (including nuclear density tests). Ask contractors whether compaction passes, target density, and testing are included in their quote. For permit-driven or structural work, specify testing requirements up front so bids include the necessary equipment and reporting.

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