Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.

Drivers deliver by dump truck (typically tri-axle) and tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver’s discretion.

To calculate volume: area (1,000 sq ft) × depth (2/12 ft) = 166.7 cubic feet, which is about 6.17 cubic yards. That equals roughly 7.5 to 8.5 tons using a common conversion of 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard; add 10% for compaction and grading, so order about 6.8 to 7 cubic yards. If you’re unsure, ask Hello Gravel to calculate and round up for delivery.

A 20' × 50' area is 1,000 sq ft; at 4 inches deep that equals 333.3 cubic feet or about 12.35 cubic yards. Using 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard, that is roughly 15 to 17 tons; allow 10% extra for settling and compaction and you should order about 13.5 to 14 cubic yards (about 17–19 tons). If you plan to compact heavily, add a little more material to achieve final grade.

Fill dirt is usually less expensive than topsoil because it is subsoil with low organic content and is intended for structural filling and grading. Use fill dirt to raise grades, fill holes, or under driveways and patios; use topsoil (or a topsoil cap) when you are preparing surfaces for lawns, gardens, or planting. A common approach in Pleasant Grove is to bring in inexpensive fill dirt for bulk elevation work and then add 2–4 inches of topsoil where plants or grass will grow.

For larger volumes, bulk delivery is usually the most cost-effective option because you pay by the yard or ton and avoid many trips. Pickup can save money if you have a truck and strong local suppliers, but hauling small loads adds time and fuel costs. Mixing with gravel changes drainage and compaction properties—only mix if your project requires improved drainage or a structural base; otherwise order straight fill dirt and consult Hello Gravel for local supplier recommendations.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. A typical homeowner wheelbarrow holds about 3 cubic feet (about 9 wheelbarrow loads per cubic yard); a larger contractor wheelbarrow holds about 6 cubic feet (about 4.5 loads per cubic yard). Drivers normally dump material into a single pile at the requested location rather than hand-load wheelbarrows, and wheelbarrow or hand-loading is rarely provided for safety and time reasons—request pile placement in Order Notes and ask customer service about special unloading needs.
