Fill Dirt in Hazelwood, MO

Fill-dirt is subsoil used to raise grades, build pads, or fill holes; it is not topsoil and has low organic content. In West Missouri it typically contains mostly sand, silt, and clay with few roots or organics; particle sizes range from fines up to small gravel, and stone content is usually minimal but can vary by supplier. Ask your Hello Gravel order rep for a local sample or description since regional sources in St. Louis County can differ. Always avoid using fill-dirt with high organic material for structural pads or planting areas.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Local suppliers in West Missouri may offer free delivery nearby, but fees commonly range from $0 to $150 depending on distance, truck access, and load size. Confirm expected delivery window and any access restrictions when you place the order.

Hazelwood sees seasonal freeze-thaw which can increase settling if fill-dirt is left uncompacted or placed in thick lifts. For best results place fill in thin lifts, control moisture, and mechanically compact each lift to reduce post-winter settlement. For building pads or driveways, plan for professional compaction and allow a settling period before final paving or landscaping.

Permit needs depend on the project type and location; Hazelwood projects may require permits or approvals for significant grading, driveway changes, or work in regulated areas. Because Hazelwood is in St. Louis County, check with the City of Hazelwood Building Division and St. Louis County planning or stormwater departments before large deliveries. When in doubt, contact the city to confirm setbacks, stormwater, and floodplain rules before you place an order.

Material-only prices for fill-dirt in the region commonly range from about $8 to $25 per ton (roughly $12 to $35 per cubic yard depending on moisture and density). Delivery often adds $30 to $150 locally, and compaction or machine rental can add $200 to $800 for small jobs or about $0.50 to $2.00 per square foot for larger areas. Prices vary by supplier, access, and seasonal demand, so get a detailed quote through Hello Gravel for your zip code.

Common alternatives include crushed limestone (good for stable driveways and pads), sand (better for drainage but not structural), topsoil (for planting and lawns), and recycled concrete (cost-effective for fill with good compaction). Choose crushed stone or recycled concrete for load-bearing areas, topsoil for planting, and sand where drainage is the priority; discuss your end use with Hello Gravel so the supplier can recommend the right material for Hazelwood's soils and climate. Remember regional availability affects cost and texture.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the depth in feet, then use this formula: cubic yards = (area_ft2 * depth_ft) / 27. Add about 10% extra for compaction and settling, and note that one cubic yard of moist fill-dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on moisture. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team with your measurements and zip code for a tailored estimate.

Provide clear, vehicle-friendly access and a flat drop zone for tri-axle dump trucks; remove low-hanging wires or obstacles and mark sensitive areas like lawns, septic systems, or sprinkler heads. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to attempt spreading, but note it is at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed. Also tell your Hello Gravel rep about any local permit or HOA rules and confirm the delivery date to avoid delays.

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.
