Fill Dirt in Dardenne Prairie, MO

Delivered fill-dirt prices in Dardenne Prairie typically vary with distance from the source, truckload size, moisture content, and any disposal or screening costs. In West Missouri you can commonly expect a wide range (roughly $8 to $30 per ton), with many local jobs falling near $12 to $20 per ton; request a zip-code-based quote from Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price.

Local rules can apply when importing large volumes or changing elevation: Dardenne Prairie and St. Charles County may require permits, erosion control measures, or a grading plan for substantial fills or when altering drainage patterns. Before ordering large quantities, contact the City of Dardenne Prairie planning/engineering department or check with Hello Gravel so you can confirm permit needs and avoid rework.

Freeze-thaw cycles and clay-rich soils common in this part of Missouri can cause heave, poor drainage, and long-term settlement if native or clay-heavy fill-dirt is used as a structural base. For areas that must support loads, use well-draining granular material or cap fill-dirt with a layer of crushed stone and provide positive drainage to reduce freeze-thaw damage and settlement risk.

Hello Gravel lists a 3-ton minimum order for bulk materials; many local suppliers also have small minimum loads but minimums can increase with distance and site access. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, while next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; confirm timing at checkout or with our team.

Place fill-dirt in 4 to 6 inch lifts (layers) and compact each lift before adding the next for best results; smaller landscaping fills can get by with 4-inch lifts, while heavier loads or foundation work should stick to 4-inch lifts and more thorough compaction. Use a plate compactor for small areas and trenches, and a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller for larger areas; consider a compaction test (density test) for structural or engineered fills.

Common alternatives include crusher run or crushed stone, which provide a stable, well-draining base for driveways and foundations, and topsoil, which is better for planting but not load-bearing. Crushed stone usually costs more than bulk fill-dirt but performs far better under traffic and freeze-thaw conditions, while topsoil costs more than plain fill-dirt and is used only where planting is required.

Fill-dirt density varies with moisture and compaction, but a good planning estimate for West Missouri is about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, with 1.3 tons/yd3 commonly used for estimates. Examples: raising a 12 ft x 100 ft driveway by 4 inches requires roughly 14.8 cubic yards or about 19 to 20 tons; raising 1,000 sq ft of yard by 3 inches is about 9.3 cubic yards or about 12 tons; a 15 ft x 30 ft pool base at 4 inches needs roughly 5.6 cubic yards or about 7 to 8 tons.

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.
