Fill Dirt in Seligman, MO

Delivered fill-dirt prices in small West Missouri towns like Seligman commonly range from about $10 to $35 per ton, depending on source distance, supplier availability, and haul access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option before noon CST for an extra fee. Expect higher per-ton or delivery charges if the site has limited access, long travel from the pit, or requirements for smaller trucks.

First calculate cubic yards: (length ft x width ft x depth ft) / 27. For fill-dirt in this region, multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 to 1.4 to estimate tons; a practical conversion to use is 1.3 tons per cubic yard. For example, a 20 ft x 10 ft area raised 6 inches is about 3.7 cubic yards, which is roughly 4.8 tons of fill-dirt.

Use well-graded, low-organic fill-dirt (not topsoil) that contains a mix of fines and sand to achieve good compaction; avoid loose, high-organic material that settles and holds water. For driveways and structural fills in freeze-thaw areas, place compacted layers of engineered fill or compactible fill-dirt and cap with crusher run or crushed stone to improve drainage and load-bearing. Adding a geotextile and installing surface drainage reduces frost heave and long-term movement.

Seligman sits in a region with clay-rich soils and regular freeze-thaw cycles, so fill-dirt can be prone to frost heave and settling if not placed and compacted correctly. Wet seasons and poor drainage make settling worse, so grade for positive drainage away from structures and avoid placing fill when soils are saturated. Proper compaction, layered placement, and a gravel cap will improve longevity in this local climate.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services and it depends on driver, truck, and site conditions. Some suppliers or local contractors offer paid spreading and compaction as an add-on, or you can rent a plate compactor or small roller to finish the job after delivery. Request spreading or compaction options at checkout and confirm availability with the supplier before delivery.

Permits are uncommon for standard tri-axle deliveries but can be required if a load is oversized or heavier than local limits. Check Barry County and Missouri DOT rules for local road weight limits, and notify Hello Gravel if you have narrow lanes, low bridges, or restrictive neighborhood rules so a proper truck can be scheduled. Also verify your driveway can support a loaded dump truck to avoid damage or the need for a smaller truck with higher per-ton costs.

Fill-dirt is generally the most economical choice for raising grades and bulk fill, but it provides poor drainage and less structural support than crusher run or crushed stone. For driveways and foundation backfill in freeze-prone Seligman soil, use fill-dirt for bulk lift and then cap the area with crusher run or 3/4" crushed stone to create a stable, well-draining surface. Sand is useful for leveling but not recommended alone for structural or drainage needs.

Expect some settling during the first year and plan to regrade low spots or add top material as needed—inspecting after spring thaw and heavy storms helps catch problems early. Maintain surface drainage, fill potholes promptly, and refresh the gravel cap every one to a few years depending on traffic. Proper initial compaction and a stone cap will reduce how often maintenance is needed.

Measure and mark your preferred drop zone, note overhead lines and tight turns, and add access notes at checkout so suppliers send the right truck size. Plan deliveries on dry days if possible, request tailgate spreading in order notes if you want the driver to consider it, and contact Hello Gravel promptly if you need to change the order before dispatch. For questions, call our team or use the online material calculator to double-check quantities.

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.
