Fill Dirt in Hatch, UT

Fill-dirt is clean, inert soil used to raise grade, fill holes, or build up low spots. In Hatch it is commonly used for yard grading, bringing pads up to finish grade, and general site fill where topsoil or engineered structural fill is not required. Because materials are locally sourced, color and texture can vary based on local geology.

Expect broad, local-market ranges rather than a fixed price: delivered fill-dirt in the West Utah/Hatch area commonly runs roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard, or about $13 to $36 per ton, depending on supplier, haul distance, and quantity. These are estimates only; exact pricing depends on your zip code, access on delivery, and whether screening or clean fill is requested. Check our site or get a quote for a precise delivered price.

Fill-dirt alone is not ideal as a finished driveway surface because it can rut, dust, and wash out in seasonal storms; hot, arid summers can cause drying and shrinkage while winters can cause frost heave if moisture is trapped. For building pads and driveway subgrades, fill-dirt can work if placed in compacted lifts, properly graded for drainage, and capped with a structural layer (road base or gravel) or pavement. For structural or bearing needs, a geotechnical check or using engineered fill is recommended.

Use this rule-of-thumb: 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches depth needs about 12.35 cubic yards (roughly 13–15 tons using a 1.1–1.35 tons/yd3 conversion). A 1,000 sq ft pad at 12 inches (1 foot) needs about 37 cubic yards (about 40–50 tons). For other sizes, multiply area (sq ft) by depth (ft) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by 1.1–1.35 to convert to tons for local ordering.

Permit needs depend on the job: small yard fill usually has no permit, but larger grading, new building pads, or any work affecting drainage may require a Beaver County permit or plan checks. Haul restrictions (weight limits, road use hours) and local ordinances can apply to commercial truck deliveries in or near Hatch, so check with Beaver County planning or public works and tell us about tight access when you order. If in doubt, contact our team and we can point you to county contacts before delivery.

For landscaping and non-structural fills, contractors commonly use clean fill-dirt that is free of large debris and organic matter. For driveways and subgrade under pavements, contractors prefer compactible, granular fill or a mix of fill and road base/crusher-run to provide drainage and strength; they often cap fill-dirt with 4–6 inches of road base or compacted gravel. If the pad supports a structure, many contractors specify engineered fill meeting compaction specs rather than generic fill-dirt.

Properly placed and compacted fill-dirt used as subgrade can last for many years as part of a capped assembly (gravel or pavement). If left as a finished surface under vehicle traffic, expect settlement, ruts, and erosion to appear within 1–3 years without regular maintenance. Longevity depends on compaction quality, drainage, traffic intensity, and whether the material was free of excessive organics or unsuitable soils.

Fill-dirt is usually the least expensive per cubic yard but offers the least durability and poor drainage for driveways. Road base and crusher-run are denser, drain better, and compact to a stronger surface that resists rutting; they cost more but reduce maintenance and extend the life of the driveway. Decomposed granite provides a more finished look but needs edge restraint and periodic regrading; for driveways in Hatch’s climate, a compacted road base capped with a gravel top is a common balance of cost and durability.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that typically deliver by tri-axle dump truck, with a minimum order commonly around 3 tons. Standard delivery is two or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout and the driver will assess safety on arrival, but it is not guaranteed.

Budget for compaction (equipment rental or contractor labor), grading, and possibly export of unsuitable soils if your site requires removal. Other potential costs include geotechnical testing for structural pads, permit fees for larger grading or building work, and short-term erosion control materials (silt fence, hydroseed). These extras vary by project size; contact local contractors or our team for rough estimates.

Fill-dirt can be part of a drainage solution if combined with proper grading, swales, retaining walls, and geotextiles; it is not a standalone erosion-control material. Local contractors in the Hatch area often bench slopes, install terraces or retaining structures, use filter fabric and rock drainage, and place fill in compacted lifts to reduce settlement and erosion. For steep slopes or critical drainage issues, contractors may recommend soil erosion control measures and engineered solutions rather than loose fill alone.

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

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
