Fill Dirt in Rockymount, MO

Fill-dirt is native or quarried soil used to raise or level ground; it usually contains fines, sand, and clay and is not intended as a finished surface. Gravel is crushed rock or rounded stone used for drainage and finished surfaces. For Rockymount projects, use fill-dirt to build up grade and gravel on top where you need a stable, draining surface.

Generally yes: fill-dirt is usually less expensive per ton than decorative or crushed gravel because it is less processed. Prices vary by supplier and availability in West Missouri, so check Hello Gravel quotes for current local rates and factor in delivery and minimum order sizes.

Calculate volume by multiplying area by depth. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches deep is about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 13 tons using 1.3 tons per cubic yard). Add 10-20% for compaction and settling when ordering, especially for West Missouri soils that compact tightly.

Yes, you can add fill-dirt over existing soil to raise grade, but it should be added in thin lifts (4-6 inches) and compacted to avoid future settling. If you plan to put pavement or gravel on top in Rockymount, stabilize the surface with compaction and consider a gravel base or geotextile to improve drainage and load-bearing capacity.

Fill-dirt is commonly used to level yards, but for lawns you should cap it with 4-6 inches of topsoil to support grass. Be aware of drainage: in parts of West Missouri with heavier clay, adding fill-dirt without drainage planning can create low spots or slow runoff, so slope the fill away from foundations and consider a drainage plan.

Costs vary by truck size and local supplier; a tri-axle dump delivery in West Missouri typically carries 10-14 cubic yards (about 13-18 tons for fill dirt). Expect wide price ranges depending on material quality and delivery distance; request a Hello Gravel quote for an exact per-ton or per-load price and remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

Costs depend on driveway length and depth of base required. As an example, a 20 ft x 100 ft driveway needing 4 inches of fill-dirt requires about 24.7 cubic yards (roughly 32 tons); at local West Missouri rates that could range significantly, so get a quote through Hello Gravel for material and delivery estimates and factor in compaction and gravel topping costs.

Yes. Fill-dirt sourced regionally in West Missouri may contain clayey material or silt that compacts and holds water differently than sandy fills. Tell our team about your site, planned use, and drainage needs so we can suggest appropriate material and quantities that suit Rockymount's local conditions.

You can use properly compacted, clean fill-dirt near foundations, but avoid organic-rich topsoil or loose fills right against structures. For fills over a foot deep, near load-bearing foundations, or for retaining walls, consult a local civil engineer or building department in Rockymount to ensure proper compaction and drainage.
