Fill Dirt in Byrnes Mill, MO

Delivered fill-dirt in the Byrnes Mill / West Missouri area commonly runs about $12 to $28 per ton, depending on source, moisture, and truck access. Prices vary by supplier and distance; check your zip code on Hello Gravel for current, local quotes and note our 3-ton minimum order.

Many suppliers in the region include delivery for shorter hauls, but fees commonly range from $0 to $150 for longer or difficult-to-access deliveries. Hello Gravel routes orders to local haulers; our minimum order is 3 tons and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

For compaction under driveways and pads, use clean, well-graded fill-dirt with minimal organics; engineered fill or fill mixed with granular material compacts more reliably than raw topsoil. Reserve fill-dirt for build-up and use a layer of compactable base rock or crushed stone (3/4" minus) as the wearing surface for driveways.

Measure length, width, and depth in feet, multiply length x width x depth to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to 1.4 to convert to tons (soil varies by moisture), then add 10-20% for compaction and settlement. Example: a 20' x 20' driveway at 6" deep is 200 cu ft = 7.4 cu yd, which equals roughly 9 to 11 tons after allowance for compaction.

Freeze-thaw cycles in West Missouri can cause frost heave and settlement in fine, poorly drained fills, especially if the material has high clay content or organic matter. Minimize problems by using well-graded, compacted fill, providing good surface and subsurface drainage, and avoiding frost-susceptible soils in the upper layers of driveways and pads.

On clay-heavy sites, remove wet soft spots and organics, scarify native clay to create a bond, and place fill in 4- to 6-inch lifts with compaction between lifts. Consider adding a layer of granular material or geotextile separation if the native clay is very soft, and ensure positive drainage away from structures to reduce long-term settlement.

Use fill-dirt when you need to raise grade or fill large voids economically; it is not ideal as a finished surface. Choose crushed stone or a compactable gravel base under driveways and high-traffic areas for drainage and load-bearing capacity, and use topsoil only as the final few inches where you plan to plant grass or landscaping.

If fill-dirt is properly compacted and finished with a gravel or crushed stone surface, a driveway can perform well for many years with periodic regrading and topping. Expect to do light maintenance (adding material, regrading ruts) every 1 to 5 years depending on traffic, drainage, and freeze-thaw effects; inadequate compaction and poor drainage shorten lifespan.

Start with Hello Gravel to get local supplier quotes and delivery scheduling for your zip code, and ask suppliers for proof of insurance, references, and photos of recent jobs. Confirm tipping practices and driver access (where the truck will place material), ask about typical haul distances and delays, and check local reviews or contractor licensing if installation is involved.

Permit and HOA rules vary: small driveway repairs or grade adjustments often do not need a city permit, but major grade changes, new driveways, or structural retaining walls may require review by Byrnes Mill or Jefferson County building/zoning departments and your HOA. Before ordering fill-dirt for large projects, contact the city or county building office and your HOA to confirm permit and setback requirements.

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.
