Per cubic yard, fill dirt is usually cheaper than gravel, so it is often the lower-cost option for simply raising or leveling a yard. For driveways you may still need gravel on top for proper load-bearing and drainage, which adds cost, so compare the total project needs rather than just the material price. Ask our team for a combined estimate if you plan to use both materials.

Fill dirt is fine-grained soil that compacts well and is used to build up grades and support landscaping; however it drains slowly and can hold water. Gravel is coarse, drains quickly, and is usually specified for drainage layers, base material under slabs, and driveways. In parts of West Kentucky where soils can contain more clay, consider engineered or screened fill for foundations and use gravel or crushed stone where drainage is required.

A quick formula is: cubic yards = (square feet * inches of depth) / 324. For example, to raise 500 sq ft by 3 inches: 500 * 3 / 324 = about 4.6 cubic yards; round up and add about 10% for compaction and waste, so order roughly 5 to 5.5 cubic yards. Local suppliers often provide on-site estimates or can estimate from photos and measurements—use our material calculator to start and request a site visit if needed.
