Fill Dirt in Lehi, UT

Prices vary by supplier and material moisture, but expect delivered fill-dirt in Lehi to run roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard (about $14 to $40 per ton) as an approximate range. Exact pricing depends on local supply, truck access, and whether you need next-day delivery or spreading; get a quote for your zip code to confirm.

Measure the area in square feet and the desired depth in inches, then use volume = area x (depth/12) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to 1.4 to estimate tons (1 cu yd of loose fill-dirt in Lehi conditions is roughly 1.2 tons). For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 2 inches is about 6.2 cu yd or roughly 7.5 to 8.7 tons.

For driveways, choose compactable granular base material (crushed rock or road base) rather than conventional fill-dirt; fill-dirt is OK for non-structural grade changes. For foundation backfill use clean, free-draining fill (engineered or compactable granular fill) as required by your building inspector. For general grading and landscape raises in Lehi, screened fill-dirt with minimal organics works well, but avoid clay-rich fill where frost heave is a concern.

Requirements vary by project and permit; simple landscaping usually does not need formal compaction testing, but structural fills, foundation backfill, and retaining wall foundations often require compaction specs and testing. Always check with Lehi City Building Department or your project engineer ahead of purchase, and plan to compact in lifts and document compaction if required.

Lehi experiences seasonal freeze-thaw and pockets of clayey soils that can shrink, swell, or settle if not placed and compacted properly. To reduce problems, use low-organic, well-compacted fill placed in 4-6 inch lifts, improve surface drainage, and avoid using high-clay fill under slabs or paved surfaces. For critical areas, use frost-protected or granular fill specified by an engineer.

Hello Gravel connects you with local Utah County suppliers and contracted haulers serving Lehi; minimum online orders start at 3 tons. Many local suppliers and dump fleets run tri-axle trucks that carry 10 to 12 tons, but Hello Gravel can often arrange smaller deliveries starting at the 3-ton minimum—check availability and exact minimums when you enter your zip code.

For driveways in Lehi, crushed rock or engineered base material is recommended because it provides stable drainage and compaction for vehicle loads. Fill-dirt is better suited to raising grade or landscaping; it will not perform as well under traffic unless it is engineered and compacted to spec. Contractors typically specify an engineered base followed by a compacted surface material for long-term performance.

Fill-dirt can shape swales, but for effective drainage and erosion control in Lehi you should use free-draining material (sandy or gravelly fill) in the swale bottom and vegetate or armoring slopes as needed. Avoid clay-rich fill in drainage channels because it holds water and can erode or pond; follow local stormwater guidelines and your engineer's specifications for slope, gradient, and material.

For small landscape fills a plate compactor or vibratory plate with multiple passes is usually sufficient when placing fill in 4-6 inch lifts. Larger areas or structural fills need heavier equipment like a vibratory roller or trench roller and may require a contractor experienced with compaction and testing. If your permit or engineer requires compaction reports, hire a contractor who can provide nuclear gauge testing or third-party Proctor test verification.

Most settling happens within the first few months, especially after the first wet season, but some minor settlement can continue for a year depending on depth and original ground conditions. Properly placed and compacted lifts reduce post-installation settlement; however, expect to monitor and possibly add a thin top-up or regrade after heavy rains or the first winter. For critical grades or paved areas, delay final paving until you are satisfied settlement has stabilized or follow engineer recommendations.

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.
