Bulk gravel, sand, fill dirt & topsoil delivery in Minot, ND

Pricing depends on material type, local availability, truck distance, and seasonal demand. Because gravel, sand, dirt, and stone all have different densities and local supply, delivered costs can vary widely; the fastest way to get an accurate number is to request a quote for your zip code (58701 and surrounding areas). Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing and can show delivery fees and options for your address.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 9 to 12 cubic yards depending on material weight. Exact weight and cost depend on the material (gravel, sand, dirt, stone), so request a quote for a 10-yard or single-truck load to see price and delivery details for your Minot address.

Use this formula: cubic yards = area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27. For a 20x20 area (400 sq ft) you would need about 3.7 cubic yards at 3" depth, 4.9 cubic yards at 4" depth, and 7.4 cubic yards at 6" depth. For a 20-foot long driveway, plug in your width and desired depth to get a site-specific estimate.

Many local suppliers and haulers offer volume pricing or discounts for larger orders, but thresholds and savings vary by supplier and material. Ask for pricing tiers when you request a quote—orders of 10, 20, or 50 yards sometimes qualify for reduced per-yard rates.

Putting material directly over uncompacted dirt is not recommended for driveways or high-traffic areas in Minot because freeze-thaw cycles and poor drainage can cause settling and washouts. For durable results, consider site prep like grading, geotextile fabric, and compaction; contractors can advise the proper base depth for your project.

Choose a stable, angular base material for structural layers and a harder, tighter surface mix for top dressing or decorative areas. Because Minot experiences cold winters and freeze-thaw, prioritize well-draining materials and a properly compacted base; local suppliers can recommend material blends suited to your project and climate.

Minimum orders start at about 3 tons. Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; delivery is by contracted dump-truck fleets and timing is confirmed at checkout.

Additional fees can apply for longer haul distances, remote zip codes, narrow streets, or sites requiring special access or permits. When you enter your delivery zip code (for example 58701, 58702, 58707 and nearby areas) the quote will show any extra charges tied to distance or site restrictions.

Calculate volume with area x depth / 27 to get cubic yards, and round up to allow for compaction and waste. Many suppliers and haulers can offer guidance from photos or measurements and some contractors provide on-site estimates for larger jobs—request this service when you get a quote if you want a more precise assessment.

Permit and HOA rules vary by neighborhood and municipality; small deliveries for landscaping often don’t need permits, but larger installations, curb cuts, or long-term stockpiles might. Check with the City of Minot public works or your HOA before placing a large order to confirm any local restrictions.

The driver will generally place material in the most accessible spot—clear vehicle access and remove obstacles before the truck arrives. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but the driver may decline for safety reasons, so mark desired drop area and have someone onsite if possible to direct placement.

Select materials that drain well and interlock when compacted for structural layers, and choose frost-resistant surfaces for top layers. Discuss local climate considerations with suppliers so they can recommend mixes and depths that reduce frost heave and improve longevity.
