Fill Dirt in Ammon, ID

Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and quantity, but delivered fill-dirt in Ammon commonly runs in the range of about $12 to $28 per cubic yard (roughly $10 to $22 per ton). Heavy pickup or long-haul deliveries can push costs higher, so check your zip code and order size for an exact quote.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; many Ammon deliveries are offered with no extra delivery fee on standard schedules, but fees can apply for next-day service, short loads, difficult access, or off-hour deliveries. Request delivery details at checkout and contact our team if you need curb-to-yard placement or have restricted access.

Calculate cubic yards with: (square feet x depth in feet) / 27, then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.2 (typical fill-dirt weight). For example, 100 sq ft at 2u0022 needs ~0.62 yd3 (~0.75 ton), at 4u0022 ~1.23 yd3 (~1.5 ton), at 6u0022 ~1.85 yd3 (~2.25 ton), and at 12u0022 ~3.70 yd3 (~4.5 ton).

Fill-dirt can work in Ammon if it is free of organic material, placed in thin lifts, and well compacted to reduce settlement and frost heave. For frost-prone areas or where drainage matters, use granular material or a crushed-rock layer below critical surfaces and ensure positive surface drainage away from foundations.

For lawn grading use screened, low-organic fill-dirt topped with a few inches of topsoil for grass. For utility trench backfill, use select fill or sand around pipe and compact in lifts; general fill-dirt is acceptable for the remainder if compacted. For driveways, fill-dirt may be used as subgrade if compacted and free of organics, but a granular base like crusher run or 3/4u0022 minus is strongly recommended on top for stability and drainage.

Fill-dirt is usually cheaper but contains more fines and drains less effectively, so it settles and degrades faster under traffic. Crusher run and 3/4u0022 minus provide better compaction, load-bearing capacity, and drainage; a common approach is compacted fill-dirt subgrade with a crusher-run base layer for long-term driveway performance.

Permit and HOA rules vary; many grading, drainage, or significant elevation changes require city or county permits and erosion control measures in Ammon and Bonneville County. Check with the City of Ammon planning or building department and your HOA before starting larger fills, and consult our team if you need guidance on common local requirements.

Well-compacted fill that is vegetated and properly drained can be stable for lawns long-term, but expect some settlement in the first year and occasional regrading or top-ups over 1-3 years. For unpaved drive areas, fill-dirt surfaces will need more frequent maintenance and topping; using a crushed base significantly reduces upkeep and extends service life.

Measure gate width, driveway width, overhead clearance, surface strength, and turning room, and note nearby street weight limits or easement restrictions; tri-axle dump trucks typically need about 12 to 14 feet of clear width and a stable surface to safely offload. Send photos and address details to our team before ordering so we can confirm truck size, potential access charges, and the best drop point for your property.
