Fill Dirt in Roy, UT

Delivered fill-dirt prices vary with supplier, haul distance, and truck size. In the Roy/West Utah area you can generally expect material-plus-delivery totals roughly in the range of $10 to $30 per ton (about $15 to $45 per cubic yard), though exact pricing depends on availability and volume; use our zip-code quote tool or contact our team for a firm price.

Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers serving Roy and the West Utah area rather than selling directly. Our platform and many local yards have a minimum order around 3 tons (our platform minimum), while some suppliers or full-truck deliveries may require a minimum of a few cubic yards or a full truckload, so check availability and minimums in checkout.

Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in feet) / 27, and then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to estimate tons (fill-dirt weight varies). For example, a 12 x 20 ft driveway (240 sq ft) at 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about 4.4 cubic yards, roughly 5.3 tons; always add 5-10% for compaction and waste and confirm density with your supplier.

Yes. Roy experiences cold winters where frost heave can be a concern, and clay-rich native soils hold water and expand, so using a well-graded, non-frost-susceptible fill or blending in sand/gravel and ensuring proper compaction and drainage reduces frost heave risk. For critical areas like under foundations or driveways, contractors often specify engineered fill or granular base rather than plain fill-dirt.

Possibly. Small amounts of fill for landscaping usually have no special permit, but larger grading, changes to drainage, or fills that affect setbacks or lot elevations may require a permit from Roy City or Weber County. Check with Roy City Building/Planning and your HOA before placing large volumes; Hello Gravel can help point you to local contacts if needed.

Screened fill-dirt is crushed and free of large clods, roots, and rocks, so it compacts more uniformly and is a better choice near structures or where frost heave is a concern. Unscreened fill is cheaper and fine for bulk fills or non-structural backfill, but it may require more compaction effort and can settle unevenly in Roy’s freeze-thaw conditions.

For structural fills, contractors aim for 90% or higher of standard proctor density using mechanical compaction. Place fill in 4 to 6 inch lifts and compact each layer with a plate compactor for small jobs or a vibratory roller for larger areas; homeowners can rent compactors, but hire a pro for large volumes or near foundations.

Fill-dirt generally holds more water than engineered, free-draining base materials and is not ideal where drainage is critical. In Roy’s semi-arid climate heavy rains or snowmelt can still saturate fine soils, so use crushed rock or engineered aggregate for driveway or road bases and reserve fill-dirt for elevation or non-structural backfill with appropriate drainage details.

We can connect you with local haulers and installers in the Roy area through our platform, but contractor availability and rates vary. Typical labor for spreading and compacting by a contractor in the region is often quoted either hourly ($50 to $100+ per hour) or per cubic yard ($10 to $30 per yd^3) depending on access, site prep, and equipment; get a few local quotes for an accurate estimate.

Yes. Many HOAs and local ordinances prefer finished surfaces like gravel, rock, pavers, or landscaping rather than exposed bare fill-dirt because of dust, erosion, and appearance. Check your HOA rules and Roy City codes before placing large visible fills, and plan erosion control and final surfacing to avoid complaints or fines.

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.
