Fill Dirt in Buffalo, ND

Yes, fill-dirt is generally cheaper than decorative gravel in the Buffalo area because it is lower spec and often sourced locally from excavation or borrow sites. Prices still vary with truck distance, moisture content, and whether the dirt is screened, so you may see different quotes from suppliers serving West North Dakota.

In Buffalo and surrounding West North Dakota, fill-dirt typically falls in a broad range depending on source and haul distance; expect approximate delivered prices from about $10 to $30 per ton. Exact costs depend on volume, any screening or trucking fees, and seasonal road or permit conditions.

Multiply your per-ton price by the number of tons the truck can carry to estimate cost. For example, at $15 per ton a 12-ton load would cost roughly $180 before any additional hauling or access fees common for rural deliveries around Buffalo.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used in Hello Gravel's network carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt, which commonly translates to roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and soil type. Local axle and road weight limits around Buffalo can affect the actual loaded amount, so your supplier will confirm the truck capacity.

One ton of fill-dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.9 cubic yards, depending on how compact or wet the material is. For planning in Buffalo, use 0.8 cubic yards per ton as a practical rule of thumb and adjust if your supplier gives a site-specific density.

Physically a full-size pickup bed might hold about 1 to 2 cubic yards, but 1 cubic yard of fill-dirt can weigh around 2,000 to 2,700 pounds and may exceed your truck's safe payload. Check your truck's payload rating before loading; for many homeowners in Buffalo it's safer to order a small dump delivery than overload a pickup.

"Poor man's concrete" usually refers to a basic mix of coarse aggregate and some cement to make a simple base. It is not a substitute for structural concrete; for foundations or load-bearing slabs in Buffalo's freeze-thaw climate you should use proper concrete mixes and compaction rather than relying on aggregate-plus-cement shortcuts.

A simple way to estimate: 1 inch of fill over 1,000 square feet requires about 2.5 cubic yards, which is roughly 3 tons of fill-dirt using the 0.8 yd3-per-ton rule. For accurate estimates for your Buffalo property, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with the project dimensions and any compaction requirements.

Deliveries to Buffalo are performed by local haulers; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed, and regional sourcing means material appearance may vary.

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.
