Fill Dirt in Florence, KY

Prices vary by supplier, but in Florence, KY, delivered fill dirt typically runs about $15 to $40 per cubic yard. Placement or light tailgate spreading may add another $10 to $40 per cubic yard depending on access and labor; request a firm quote at checkout for an exact delivered price.

To raise 1,000 sq ft you need roughly: 2 inches = 6.2 cubic yards, 4 inches = 12.3 cubic yards, 6 inches = 18.5 cubic yards. Always order a small extra amount (5-10%) to allow for settling and compaction.

Many suppliers and haulers serving the Florence area have minimums; Hello Gravel requires a minimum of 3 tons (about 2.5 to 3 cubic yards depending on soil density). Some local contractors may expect larger minimums for delivery or installation, so check the supplier listing or ask our team for options if you need a smaller amount.

Yes—fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel or stone because it is unprocessed soil. Typical local ranges show fill dirt around $15-$40/yd and common gravel or crushed stone more like $30-$70/yd, but exact differences depend on material type and delivery distance.

Fill dirt alone is not a good final base for a driveway because it does not provide consistent drainage or load-bearing capacity. In Northern Kentucky soils, plan to use compacted fill dirt to raise grades or fill voids, then add a well-graded crushed-stone base and a top coat of aggregate for durability and drainage.

Order by the cubic yard from a local supplier through Hello Gravel to get regional pricing and a scheduled dump-truck delivery. Save cost by ordering during normal weekdays, consolidating delivery to a single drop, and doing your own spreading and compaction if feasible; ask for multiple supplier quotes to compare delivered rates.

One cubic yard of fill dirt weighs roughly 2,000 to 2,700 lbs depending on moisture, so it equals about 40 to 54 50-lb bags. A typical full-size pickup can safely carry about 0.3 to 0.5 cubic yards in the bed (varies by truck and local regs), so a cubic yard is generally 2 to 3 pickup loads for most owners.

Remove organic topsoil where possible, establish proper grades, and place fill dirt in 4-6 inch lifts, compacting each lift with a plate compactor or roller. For wet or soft spots common in the region, install a geotextile fabric before placing base stone to improve drainage and reduce differential settlement.

Costs vary by size and spec; for a typical single-car 20 ft long by 10-12 ft wide driveway expect materials and delivery for fill dirt plus crushed stone and top coat to fall roughly between $800 and $2,500. Exact price depends on how much fill is needed, required excavation, compaction, and whether you hire labor or just order delivery—get a detailed quote for a firm estimate.

Many local suppliers listed on Hello Gravel can deliver both fill dirt and various gravels, but delivery-only is more common. Some contractors on our network offer installation, compaction, and grading services—check the supplier profile or contact our team to request installation options.

For driveways, aim for 4-6 inches of compacted fill dirt to establish grade, then add 4-8 inches of compacted crushed-stone base before a top coat. For walkways, 2-4 inches of compacted fill with 2-3 inches of base stone is often sufficient; always compact in lifts for best results.

For backyard leveling, expect material-only costs around $15-$40 per cubic yard delivered; adding professional spreading and compaction can add about $20-$50 per cubic yard. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches (about 6.2 cu yd) could run roughly $200-$700 for materials plus $120-$310 for compaction and labor, so plan for a total ballpark of $300-$1,000 and get a site-specific quote for accuracy.
