Fill-dirt in Foxfield, CO

Delivered fill-dirt prices in Foxfield typically vary with supplier availability and haul distance; expect a rough range of $8 to $30 per ton as a ballpark. Hello Gravel provides zip-code specific quotes and a minimum order of 3 tons, so check your exact price at checkout for the most accurate number.

Delivery fees depend on distance, driveway access, and truck size; many areas see free or low-cost delivery but fees of $50 to $250 are common for longer hauls or tight access. Hello Gravel schedules tri-axle dump trucks and will show any delivery charges during checkout; next-day delivery may add an extra fee.

Place fill-dirt in 4 to 6 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor for small areas or a vibratory roller for larger areas to achieve a firm, stable layer. Control moisture (not too wet or frozen), avoid placing frozen material, and aim for a high compaction level (typically 90-95% of standard Proctor) to resist freeze-thaw movement and settling.

Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in ft2 x depth in inches) / 324. For a 20 ft x 40 ft (800 ft2) driveway you need about 2.5 yd3 per inch (2.47 yd3), so 1 inch = ~2.5 yd3 (about 3.5 tons using 1.4 tons/yd3); 6 inches = ~14.8 yd3 or ~21 tons. Adjust the estimate if your driveway area differs or if your supplier uses a different ton-per-yard conversion.

Fill-dirt is intended for bulk grade raising and backfill and is not a good finished driving surface because it can be fine and prone to rutting and erosion. For driveways and access roads you should put compactable, angular materials like crusher-run or class 6 road base as the structural layer, with fill-dirt used only to bring grades up where needed.

Possibly. Foxfield properties often have town or Arapahoe County requirements and many neighborhoods have HOA covenants that govern visible grading, driveway changes, and front-yard materials. Contact Foxfield Town Hall, Arapahoe County planning, and your HOA before starting work to confirm permitting, setback, and drainage rules.

Fill-dirt alone is not designed for sustained vehicle traffic; you should expect settling, rutting, and some erosion, especially after freeze-thaw cycles and heavy precipitation. For long-term performance, cover with a structural base or pavement, and plan for occasional regrading, topping up low spots, and maintaining drainage to limit water damage.

For slopes, choose select fill that is well-graded and low in clay and organic material, or blend fill-dirt with coarse sand or small gravel to improve drainage and reduce shrink-swell. Combine good material selection with erosion controls such as geotextile, terraces, retaining walls, or hydroseeded vegetation to stabilize slopes in Foxfield's semi-arid, freeze-thaw environment.

Beyond material and delivery, budget for grading and spreading ($300 to $1,500 depending on scope), compaction or equipment rental ($75 to $500 per day), geotextile or erosion control ($0.25 to $1.50 per sq ft typical), and possible permit or HOA fees. Prices vary by project size and site access, so get itemized local quotes through Hello Gravel or a contractor.

Clear a level drop area with good truck access, mark underground utilities and keep overhead wires in mind, and protect landscaping or hardscapes near the delivery zone. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading at their discretion, so plan for portable equipment or contractor help to spread and compact the material after delivery.
