Fill Dirt in New Liberty, MO

Typical delivered fill-dirt prices in West Missouri commonly fall in the range of $8 to $20 per ton, which is about $9 to $26 per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction. Exact price depends on local supplier, distance from the pit, and truck size; use our checkout or contact sales for a zip-code-specific quote.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order; many local suppliers and haulers serving rural New Liberty also have minimums based on truck size (often 3 to 5 tons or about 1 to 2 cubic yards). Haul fees or delivery availability can change with distance—most suppliers deliver comfortably within 20 to 50 miles, with additional charges for longer runs or difficult access.

For structural fills or under driveways, place fill-dirt in lifts of 6 to 8 inches and compact each lift to roughly 90% to 95% of the standard Proctor density. Use a jumping jack or plate compactor for small areas and a vibratory roller for larger fills; because of Missouri freeze-thaw cycles, well-compacted, properly drained fills reduce frost heave and settlement risk.

For 100 sq ft: 2 inches = 0.62 cubic yards (about 0.7 to 1.0 tons), 4 inches = 1.23 cubic yards (about 1.3 to 1.8 tons), 6 inches = 1.85 cubic yards (about 2.0 to 2.6 tons). Densities vary with moisture and soil type; Hello Gravel uses regional averages but we recommend ordering slightly extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and grading.

Permit requirements vary by city and county; small residential fills are often allowed, but significant grade changes, fills over a certain depth, or work that alters drainage commonly require a permit or review. Before ordering large volumes, check with New Liberty city hall or your county planning and public works office to confirm local rules and any erosion-control or stormwater requirements.

Missouri clay tends to hold water, drain poorly, and expand/contract with moisture changes, which increases frost heave and settlement risk under fills. To build a stable base, remove or undercut soft clay where possible, install granular fill or crushed stone as a base, and provide positive drainage to keep water away from the fill zone.

Fill-dirt is the lowest-cost option for raising grade or filling low spots, but it is not an ideal wearing surface for driveways. Crushed limestone or bankrun gravel make better driveway bases and driving surfaces because they drain and compact better; topsoil is for planting, not structural use. For a durable driveway, use fill-dirt only to adjust elevation and follow with a granular base layer like crushed stone.

The best months are late spring through early fall when roads are drier and less likely to have local weight or spring thaw restrictions; fall is often ideal for final grading before winter. Avoid delivery during wet spring thaw or heavy winter freezes when farm and township roads may be restricted and truck access can be limited.

On slopes, use erosion-control measures such as silt fence, erosion-control blankets, temporary seeding with quick-establish grasses, or terracing and retaining walls for steeper grades. Also maintain positive drainage, protect disturbed soil during storms, and consult your county conservation district for Missouri-specific recommendations on slope angles and stabilization techniques.

Most suppliers deliver material to grade and allow visual inspection on arrival; independent compaction testing (nuclear gauge or lab Proctor) is usually arranged by the property owner or contractor when structural compaction is required. Some contractors will provide compaction testing and a limited workmanship warranty for installed fills, but material-only deliveries rarely come with compaction guarantees—report any delivery issues to Hello Gravel promptly so we can assist.

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.
