Fill-dirt in Antonito, CO

Local prices for fill-dirt around Antonito typically range from about $12 to $25 per cubic yard delivered, and roughly $8 to $18 per ton depending on moisture and compaction. Rural sourcing, haul distance from the supplier, and whether delivery is required are the biggest drivers of price, so final quotes can vary outside these ranges.

A 10-yard load of fill-dirt will usually cost roughly $120 to $250 for material plus delivery; with Antonito's rural location you should expect total delivered prices commonly in the $300 to $700 range. Exact cost depends on supplier availability, road access, and any delivery fees or minimum-order surcharges.

For raw material costs, fill-dirt is generally cheaper than decorative or crushed gravel. However, if your project needs compaction, improved drainage, or a finished surface, additional labor, compaction, or a layer of gravel may be required — which narrows the cost difference. Choose fill-dirt for bulk volume and mass-filling; choose gravel when drainage, stability, or a finished look is important.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10–12 cubic yards. At 3 inches depth a 10-yard load covers about 1,080 sq ft, at 6 inches about 540 sq ft, and at 12 inches about 270 sq ft. Use those coverage figures to estimate loads for your yard or driveway; for example a 20' x 40' driveway (800 sq ft) at 6 inches would need roughly 1.5 truckloads.

Suppliers in and near Antonito may price fill-dirt by either the cubic yard or by the ton; many residential orders are quoted per cubic yard because it is easier for volume planning. For small orders, cubic-yard pricing is often simpler and more economical, but ask suppliers which method they use and compare the delivered total cost before ordering.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery is available in 2+ business days with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST (additional fee may apply). In rural Antonito, expect possible delivery surcharges or longer lead times due to distance from local pits and limited supplier fleets; check your zip code and request a quote to see exact fees and available dates.

One cubic yard is physically small enough to fit in many pickup beds, but fill-dirt weighs around 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard when loose, which usually exceeds a standard pickup's safe payload. For safety and convenience, a dump truck delivery is the recommended option for Antonito projects unless you confirm your vehicle's payload capacity and get the soil weighed.

One cubic yard is about a 3' x 3' x 3' pile and spread thinly it will cover roughly 100–325 sq ft depending on depth. Fill-dirt is intended as structural fill and typically requires compaction for any load-bearing or grade-stable work; you may also need to cap it with gravel or topsoil depending on whether you want drainage or planting on top.

Small loads and same-day delivery may be possible but are limited in Antonito due to supplier schedules and truck routing; additional fees often apply.
