Fill Dirt in South Salt Lake, UT

Prices vary by supplier and site access, but expect fill-dirt in the South Salt Lake area to typically range from about $10 to $30 per ton or $12 to $40 per cubic yard delivered, depending on moisture content, hauling distance, and quantity. For exact pricing for your address, request a quote through Hello Gravel to see current local rates and any delivery fees.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, which applies across our network including South Salt Lake. Standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; site access, narrow streets, or permits can affect timing and charges.

Permitting depends on volume and whether the fill changes lot grading or affects stormwater. South Salt Lake may require permits for significant grade changes, retaining walls, or projects that alter drainage; contact the South Salt Lake Building and Engineering Departments to confirm thresholds before ordering large volumes.

Fill-dirt alone is rarely ideal for a driveway base in South Salt Lake because it often contains fines and does not drain or compact like aggregate. For driveways use engineered fill or a compacted crushed-rock base (road base) with proper compaction; place fill-dirt only for subgrade building or landscape backfill and cover with a more stable base for driving surfaces.

Use this rule: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324; typical fill-dirt weighs about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches needs about 12-13 cubic yards, or roughly 14-18 tons depending on moisture and soil type. Get a precise calculation from Hello Gravel using your project dimensions and local material density.

For landscape leveling choose clean fill-dirt with some fines so it grades and supports planting; topsoil will still be needed near finished grade for plant health. For structural or engineered fill under slabs and pads use well-graded, compactable fill (general fill or engineered fill) and confirm compaction specs with your engineer to meet local codes and freeze-thaw concerns.

Spring thaw and late winter can leave ground too wet for effective compaction, so aim to place and compact fill-dirt in late spring through early fall when soils are drier. If work must occur in cooler months, plan for extra compaction passes, controlled moisture content, and possibly engineerd fill to avoid future settling.

Expect fill-dirt to be placed in lifts (commonly 6-8 inches loose) and compacted with a plate compactor or roller to reach specified density (often 90-95% of standard Proctor). After installation, allow for some settlement during the first year and add or regrade material as needed; for paved areas install a proper base course over compacted fill-dirt to protect the surface from settling.

Adding fill can change surface runoff and increase erosion if not graded properly, so maintain existing drainage patterns or install new swales, catch basins, or drains as needed. South Salt Lake properties may be subject to city stormwater rules, so review local requirements and plan erosion control during and after placement to prevent water intrusion to neighboring properties.

For slopes and retaining walls, engineered fill or well-draining crushed rock is usually preferred over basic fill-dirt because it compacts predictably and reduces hydrostatic pressure. Fill-dirt can be used behind low, non-structural walls with proper drainage, but structural walls and steep slopes should use designed backfill, drainage fabric, and perforated drain lines per an engineer's recommendations.

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

Use our material calculator here: https://hellograve3dev.wpengine.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

Please type in your zip code on any product screen and it will let you know if we service your area. The chances are that we do!

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.

Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.

We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates. However, we do charge a markup and because of this you may be able to find the materials cheaper on your own. But if you want a hassle free experience, then we are for you!
