Fill Dirt in Patterson, MO

Fill-dirt is soil used to raise or level ground; it often contains fines and some clay and is intended as subgrade material rather than a finished surface. In Patterson, fill-dirt is useful for regrading yards, filling low spots, and building non-structural pads, but for a long-lasting driveway or garage pad you should use compacted, granular base (crushed stone or road base) under the fill and avoid using loose fill-dirt as the finished surface.

Costs vary by supplier, but Patterson’s small size and limited local suppliers can increase per-ton prices due to longer haul distances. Local cost factors include the minimum order (Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum), fuel surcharges, haul distance from the supplier, local truck availability, and any road or bridge weight restrictions; request a quote on our site to see exact pricing for your zip code.

Measure length x width x depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.2 to convert to tons (rule of thumb for compacted fill-dirt). For example, a single-car driveway 10 ft by 20 ft at 6 inches deep is about 3.7 cubic yards, roughly 4.4 tons; always round up for compaction and settling and contact us for a site-specific estimate.

Contractors in West Missouri typically use fill-dirt only for non-structural raising and prefer well-graded granular fill or road base under driveways and garage pads for strength and drainage. If you need structural fill, ask suppliers for 'clean fill' or 'granular fill' and request compaction and moisture control; Hello Gravel can help you pick the right product for each layer.

Patterson and West Missouri experience freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains that can cause frost heave and erosion in poorly drained or high-clay fills. To reduce problems, use properly compacted fill, avoid organic or very high-clay soils in structural areas, establish positive drainage away from foundations, and consider geotextile fabric or gravel layers where frost or runoff is a concern.

Yes—Hello Gravel serves West Missouri where suppliers are available; enter your zip code to confirm availability. We require a 3-ton minimum, standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST, and deliveries arrive by contracted dump trucks (commonly tri-axle); drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.

Small residential loads often do not require permits, but large fills, work in floodplains, near wetlands, or changes affecting drainage can trigger local or county permits. Check with Patterson city hall and Polk County planning or public works before ordering if you plan major grade changes, work near property lines, or will alter drainage or septic areas.

Clear the drop area of vehicles, low limbs, and obstacles and mark the desired dump location with flags or stakes; provide clear truck access and note any narrow roads or low bridges on the route. Protect visible utilities, call us if access is tight or if local roads have weight limits, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider spreading the load.

Inspect the load on arrival and take photos if the material looks different from what you ordered or there is damage to your property; note the truck number and time of delivery. Contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos and details so we can work with the supplier and hauler to resolve the issue; see our order change and refund guidance for next steps.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
