Fill Dirt in Chester Town, NY

Delivered fill-dirt prices in Chester Town usually vary by supplier, truck distance, and material quality. Expect a broad range of roughly $20 to $55 per cubic yard delivered for common unprocessed fill-dirt; in some cases prices may instead be quoted per ton (about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard). Local factors like haul distance from the quarry, seasonal demand, and access to your property will influence the final quote.

A standard tri-axle dump truck in this region holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt. Delivered cost for a full truck can range roughly $250 to $700 in northern/central New York areas, depending on distance and supplier; shared or partial loads may reduce per-yard cost but are subject to minimum order rules.

For 1,000 square feet the approximate volumes are: 2 inches = 6.17 cubic yards, 4 inches = 12.35 cubic yards, and 6 inches = 18.52 cubic yards. Multiply by about 1.3 to estimate tons if your supplier quotes by weight (so 6.17 cy ≈ 8.0 tons at ~1.3 tons/cy).

Suppliers will typically ask for the delivery address, square footage and desired depth (in inches), preferred delivery location on the property, and whether you want spreading or compaction. Also provide photos of access (driveway width, overhead wires, gates), the existing surface (grass, mud, rock), a contact phone number, and any permit or curb-cut details to avoid delays.

Same-day delivery and spreading are sometimes possible with local contractors who are nearby and have available crews, but it is not guaranteed. Hello Gravel's standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST and subject to supplier availability; always request spreading at checkout and confirm with the supplier ahead of time.

Fill-dirt can be used to raise grade but it is not an ideal final driveway surface because many fill soils contain fines and clay that do not drain or compact well. For driveways you should compact the subgrade, consider a geotextile fabric, and place 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone or crushed gravel on top of compacted fill-dirt for proper drainage and durability.

Small-town rules vary, but many New York towns require permits or approval from the Town Highway or Building Department for new driveway openings, curb cuts, or significant grade changes. Before ordering fill-dirt for a driveway project in Chester Town, check with the town offices to confirm permit needs and any setback or drainage requirements.

Some local suppliers and trucking contractors offer tailgate spreading for a fee or at the driver's discretion; mechanical spreading and professional compaction (roller or plate compactor) are usually separate services and priced by the hour or job. Expect small spreading jobs to run from about $50 to $200, while compaction by a contractor can add several hundred dollars depending on area size and equipment required.

Spring thaw, wet fall conditions, and winter weather can limit access and increase hauling difficulty, which may raise prices or extend lead times in Chester Town. Busy landscaping and construction seasons (spring and summer) commonly increase demand, so plan ahead and allow extra lead time to secure materials and delivery slots.

Most suppliers servicing Chester Town require at least a partial truck minimum; Hello Gravel's platform minimum is 3 tons, but many local suppliers prefer minimums that correspond to a partial or full tri-axle (roughly 3 to 10 cubic yards). Standard lead time is usually 2+ business days, with next-day delivery possible if ordered early and a fee paid; rural or high-demand periods can push lead times longer.

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.
