Fill Dirt in Inverness, CA

Fill dirt is generally cheaper per ton than gravel because it is a basic soil product with less processing. In Inverness, expect fill dirt prices to be lower than decorative or base gravel, but final delivered cost depends on haul distance, site access, and minimum order size.

Prices vary by supplier and seasonal demand, but a typical delivered range for fill dirt near Inverness is roughly $25 to $60 per ton. Get an exact price by entering your zip code on our site or calling our team, since access, truck type, and minimums affect the final quote.

Fill dirt is mostly soil used to raise grade, fill holes, and compact under structures; it does not provide drainage or structural support. Gravel is angular rock used for drainage and load-bearing layers; for driveways you usually use fill dirt for bulk grade work and gravel or crushed rock on top for a stable driving surface.

Yes — Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who can deliver fill dirt for backyard leveling. Measure the area (length x width x depth), convert to cubic yards, then multiply by the supplier's price per cubic yard or per ton; add delivery fees and any extra charges for tight access or smaller trucks common in Inverness.

A standard tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 18 tons for fill dirt), and delivered load cost depends on volume and distance. In Inverness expect a delivered single-truck load quote to reflect the per-ton or per-yard rate multiplied by the load size plus any access or minimum delivery fees.

Tonnage depends on driveway width and depth. For example, a 100 ft long by 10 ft wide area at 4 inches deep equals about 12.3 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 15 to 18 tons of fill dirt; multiply that tonnage by local delivered price per ton and add delivery/minimum fees for a cost estimate.

Cheapest options typically come from local suppliers or nearby contractors who already haul in that part of Marin County to avoid long hauls. Use Hello Gravel to compare multiple local suppliers, check for nearby pits, and watch for minimum-order fees or access charges that can affect overall cost in a small town like Inverness.

Yes — suppliers commonly deliver both fill dirt and crushed rock for drainage work. Crushed rock costs more than fill dirt; expect crushed rock to be priced higher per ton and factor in access and truck type — request a specific quote for drainage quantities to get accurate material plus delivery estimates.

Material needs are modest for a 20 ft driveway; for a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide pad at 6 inches of base you need about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 4.5 to 5.5 tons). Material plus delivery might range from a few hundred dollars depending on local per-ton rates and minimums; labor to spread and compact will be additional, so request a bundled quote from a local contractor and supplier for a firm price.

Many suppliers sell fill dirt by the cubic yard or by the ton, but Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons on our platform. In Inverness, small deliveries may incur minimum delivery or short-haul fees because of remote or narrow roads, so check each supplier's minimums and any extra charges when you request a quote.
