One cubic yard of fill dirt equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 81 square feet at 4 inches of depth (54 sq ft at 6 inches, 27 sq ft at 12 inches). Because weight varies with moisture and compaction, using cubic yards for coverage calculations is more reliable than tons for Pierce County projects.

Using local material prices in Pierce County ($8 to $20 per cubic yard), 10 tons would generally cost in the neighborhood of $60 to $200 for the material, not including delivery or minimum-order fees.

Yes, screened (clean) fill dirt is usually more expensive because it has had roots, debris, and large clods removed. For Pierce County projects where plant material or organics could cause settling, paying extra for screened fill can reduce future grade and settling issues.

Fill dirt is good for raising grade and backfilling but is not an ideal surface material for driveways because it can wash out and rut in Pierce County’s wet periods. For driveways use fill dirt to build grade then cap with crushed stone or a proper road base and compact it to achieve a stable driving surface.

Measure the length, width, and depth in feet, multiply them (length x width x depth), then divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards. Add 5% to 15% extra for compaction and waste; for help, use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team to confirm quantities for Pierce County deliveries.
