Fill Dirt in North Norwich, NY

Prices for loose fill-dirt in the North Norwich area typically run in a range because of local supply and haul distance; expect approximately $12 to $35 per ton delivered as a general guide. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; some deliveries may include no additional delivery charge depending on supplier and distance.

A 20x30 ft area at 6 inches equals about 11.1 cubic yards (600 sq ft x 0.5 ft / 27). Fill-dirt in this region typically weighs roughly 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so you would need about 12 to 15 tons; order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for settling and grading.

Fill-dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and for general grading and backfill, but it is not usually the best structural base for driveways or shed pads. For driveways and areas that need drainage or load-bearing capacity in North Norwich's climate, contractors typically use crushed stone or road base under the finish material and reserve fill-dirt for non-structural fill and grading around foundations.

Fill-dirt can be susceptible to frost heave and saturation if it is not well compacted and drained, especially with the freeze-thaw cycles and rain common in upstate New York. To reduce issues, use well-graded, low-organic fill, place it in lifts with compaction, and provide proper surface or subsurface drainage to keep water moving away from the filled area.

Hello Gravel partners with local suppliers and haulers who deliver fill-dirt in the North Norwich area; some suppliers and local landscapers offer spreading and compaction as an add-on. Tailgate spreading by the dump truck driver may be available at the driver’s discretion and should be requested at checkout, but for guaranteed spreading and compaction most homeowners hire a local contractor with a plate compactor or excavator.

Use fill-dirt to raise grade, correct low spots, and for non-structural backfill where drainage and bearing load are not critical. For driveway bases, shed pads, and other load-bearing surfaces in North Norwich, crushed stone or road base is recommended because those materials drain better, compact to a firmer base, and resist frost-related movement for longer life.

There may be local rules or permits depending on the scope of work, especially for foundation backfill, significant grading, work near wetlands or regulated streams, or projects that change drainage patterns. Contact the Town of North Norwich or Chenango County building and planning offices to confirm permit requirements and local erosion control rules before importing large quantities of fill-dirt.

For non-structural grading and lawn areas, place fill-dirt in 4-6 inch lifts and compact each lift until firm; for structural areas under patios or driveways you should remove organic soil and use a granular base (crushed stone) compacted in 4-6 inch lifts. For foundation backfill follow your engineer or local code; general practice is thorough compaction in lifts and proper drainage to limit future settlement and frost issues.
