Fill Dirt in Wood Village, OR

Fill-dirt is a general-purpose soil mix used to raise grades, fill holes, and prepare sites for landscaping or construction. In Wood Village it is commonly used to build yard grade, raise low spots before turf or pavers, and backfill around non-structural features. It is not usually a finished surface for driveways or patios unless capped with a durable aggregate.

Typical delivered pricing in the Wood Village/West Oregon area is roughly $10 to $30 per ton, which converts to about $12 to $36 per cubic yard depending on how compacted the material is. Final price depends on supplier, screening, distance from quarry, and whether you need spreading or special truck access, so request a quote for exact pricing.

Many West Oregon suppliers offer both screened (fewer rocks and organic material) and unscreened fill-dirt; screened material is better for final grading and landscaping. Typical minimums for residential deliveries through Hello Gravel start around 3 tons, but supplier minimums and lot sizes vary, so check available options for your zip code at checkout.

Fill-dirt generally drains more slowly than crushed rock because it contains fines and finer particles that hold water. In Wood Village's rainy climate you should expect slower drainage and longer drying times, so plan for proper compaction and consider adding a drainage layer or using screened material to improve performance.

For landscaping and grade fill, screened fill-dirt or topsoil blend is appropriate. For driveways and structural applications, use compactable structural fill (engineered fill or crusher-run) beneath the surface; fill-dirt alone is not usually recommended under foundations or as a driveway surface without testing and compaction. Always confirm the recommended material with your contractor or engineer for structural work.

As a rule of thumb, 1 cubic yard of fill-dirt is about 1.2 tons. Examples: a 1-car driveway area 12 ft x 20 ft at 4 in depth needs roughly 3.5 tons (about 3 cu yd). A backyard grade fill of 20 ft x 30 ft at 6 in depth needs roughly 13.3 tons (about 11 cu yd). Use our material calculator for project-specific estimates.

Small residential deliveries for minor grade adjustments commonly do not trigger permits, but larger land disturbance, slope changes, or work that alters drainage can require City of Wood Village or Multnomah County permits and erosion-control plans. Check with Wood Village City Hall or Multnomah County Planning and Development before major earthwork to verify thresholds and required erosion-control measures.

Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks; standard delivery (2+ business days) often has no extra fee, but tight access, narrow streets, overhead wires, steep driveways, or long walk-ins can trigger access surcharges. Provide driveway photos and any access notes at checkout so suppliers can confirm truck size and fees before dispatch.

Fill-dirt is usually the most economical for building grade and filling low spots but has poorer drainage and can settle more than crushed materials. Crusher-run and quarry fines compact well and drain better for driveways and load-bearing bases, while clean fill (no organics) is preferred for importing soil where contamination or organic material is a concern. Choose fill-dirt for bulk volume grade work and crushed materials for structural bases or long-lasting driveways.

If fill-dirt is used as a base without proper compaction and a drainage-capable surface, expect settling, rutting, and the need for periodic regrading over several years. For longer life, compact the fill in lifts during placement, cap it with crushed rock or pavement, and address surface drainage to prevent water pooling in Wood Village's rainy conditions. For large or structural projects, consider engineered fill and professional compaction testing.

Yes. Ask suppliers whether the fill-dirt contains organics, clay, or construction debris because high organic content and clay lead to settlement and poor compaction. For large imports or projects near wetlands or regulated areas, consider a simple lab screen or ask for a supplier declaration to verify material source and absence of contaminants before delivery.
