Fill Dirt in State Plat No. 16 Core South, AZ

Fill-dirt is local, unprocessed soil used to raise grade, fill low spots, or create a compacted base under driveways and landscaping in State Plat No. 16 Core South. It usually contains a mix of sand, silt, clay, and small rock and is chosen for bulk volume rather than topsoil quality or drainage.

Delivered prices for fill-dirt in the Arizona Region typically run in the range of about $12 to $30 per ton, which converts roughly to $15 to $36 per cubic yard depending on moisture content and source. Exact pricing for State Plat No. 16 Core South is available at checkout when you enter your zip code or by contacting Hello Gravel for a site-specific quote.

Costs depend on width, required depth, and whether you need compaction or grading. For a typical 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway with 4" of compacted fill-dirt plus a 3" rock surface, expect material and delivery to range from a few hundred to around $1,200, with added compaction/labor costs if you hire a contractor.

Well-graded fill-dirt with a mix of fines and sand compacts best in Arizona’s dry climate because it locks together under compaction. Avoid very sandy or very high-clay fills for final base layers; very sandy fill drains but shifts, while high-clay fill can shrink and heave with moisture—both require good compaction and sometimes a crushed base over the fill-dirt for long-term stability.

Polymer stabilization is usually applied to surface aggregates rather than raw fill-dirt, but fill-dirt can be stabilized with additives like lime or cement for structural projects. Treatment costs vary widely by method and coverage; treated bases typically add several dollars per square foot versus untreated fill, so contact Hello Gravel or a local contractor for treatment options and firm pricing for State Plat No. 16 Core South.

Over a compacted fill-dirt base, use well-graded road base or crushed rock (3/4" minus or similar) for driveways, and decomposed granite or 1/4" minus for low-maintenance yard areas. These surface materials sit well on compacted fill-dirt in the Arizona Region, but expect some color and texture variation based on local quarry sources.

Small, angular materials like decomposed granite, 1/4" minus, or fine crush set over a compacted fill-dirt base are easiest to walk on and safer for pets and children. Larger decorative boulders or 1"+ river rock are less stable and can roll or be uncomfortable for bare feet, especially if not keyed into compacted fill-dirt beneath them.

Common local guidelines: compact fill-dirt in 4" lifts for walkways with 2-3" surface material; 6-8" compacted fill-dirt or a mix of fill and road base for driveways before the wearing surface; and 6-12" of fill-dirt for planting beds depending on plant type. Always compact each lift and consider geotextile or crushed-rock layers where drainage or heavy loads are a concern.

Equipment rental in the Arizona Region: plate compactors around $60–$120/day, small rollers or rammers $150–$400/day; contractor-performed compaction for small residential jobs often runs $300–$1,200 depending on scope and access.

Fill-dirt in Arizona typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and composition, with a common planning figure of 1.2 tons/yd3. Use cubic yards for volume: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in feet) / 27; for example, 1,000 sq ft at 4" depth is about 12.3 cubic yards, or roughly 15 tons of fill-dirt.
