Fill Dirt in Bluffdale, UT

Delivered cost varies with supplier, distance, and moisture, but you can estimate using truck volume and local unit pricing. A typical tri-axle dump holds about 10–12 cubic yards; in the Salt Lake County/West Utah area delivered fill-dirt commonly runs in the range of about $40–$100 per cubic yard, putting a single truck roughly in the $400–$1,200 range. For an exact price for your address, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote because rates and availability change by supplier and season.

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches depth (27 cubic feet / 0.1667 ft). So a 10-yard truck covers roughly 1,620 sq ft and a 12-yard truck covers roughly 1,944 sq ft at 2 inches. Adjust for settling and compaction by ordering 5–10% extra for a finished grade.

Use this method: compute volume = area (sq ft) x depth (ft), then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A 50 lb bag of dry fill-dirt is about 0.5 cubic feet (so ~54 bags per cubic yard); for example, 500 sq ft at 3 inches (0.25 ft) needs 500 x 0.25 = 125 cu ft = 4.63 cu yd, which equals about 250 50-lb bags. Always round up and add 5–15% for compaction and waste.

No, 2 inches of fill-dirt is not sufficient for a driveway. Blￚle's freeze-thaw cycles and clayey subsoils mean you need a well-compacted structural base: typically 6–12 inches of compacted crushed rock or base material for driveways, with geotextile or subgrade prep as needed. Two inches might be OK for minor surface grading or lawn top dressing, but not for vehicular load-bearing surfaces.

Fill-dirt is often one of the least expensive materials by volume because it is unprocessed and commonly available, so it can be a budget-friendly option for raising grade or backfilling. However, total cost depends on delivery distance, truck size, and whether you need screening, rock removal, or compaction services. For finish surfaces or driveways, cheaper fill-dirt can cost more in the long run if you later need to replace it with a proper base material.

Hello Gravel arranges local supplier deliveries to Blￚle with standard delivery typically available in 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Minimum order sizes apply (usually 3 tons), and drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if you request it at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed. For placement fees beyond standard drop-off (such as dedicated spreading or machine placement), ask for a quote since local suppliers may charge extra.

Common mistakes include underestimating required volume, not accounting for compaction, using fill-dirt as a finished surface, and failing to check for underground utilities. Avoid these by using the Hello Gravel calculator, ordering 5–15% extra for settlement, requesting supplier advice for compaction or screening needs, and calling 811 to locate utilities before delivery. If you need placement or compaction, request that option early so suppliers can price and schedule it.

Fill-dirt pros: low cost, good for raising grade, and useful for backfill and planting areas; cons: it compacts and can rut or wash, is not a durable surface for driveways, and quality varies by source. Landscape rock pros: excellent drainage, durable walking and driving surfaces, and low maintenance; cons: higher material cost and may need a compacted base and edging. In Blￚle, use fill-dirt for subgrade or planting beds and use crushed rock or gravel over a compacted base for driveways and high-traffic areas.

To get the best price, order larger volumes to qualify for volume discounts, consolidate deliveries, and compare quotes from multiple local suppliers via Hello Gravel. Consider pick-up if you have a truck and the supplier allows it, and avoid peak landscaping season when rates and demand are higher. Also ask suppliers about screened or recycled fill options—cheaper materials may meet your needs depending on the project.

You can place fill-dirt directly on existing soil for grade-raising, but best practice is to add it in 4–6 inch lifts and compact each lift to reduce settling. Weed barrier is not necessary under structural fill and can interfere with compaction; for pathways or driveways use a geotextile only when recommended to separate poor subsoil from a rock base. For planting areas, finish with a layer of topsoil for nutrients and better planting performance.

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.
