Fill Dirt in Groesbeck, OH

Delivered fill dirt prices in the Groesbeck/West Ohio area typically range from about $10 to $35 per cubic yard (roughly $12 to $45 per ton) depending on supplier, moisture, and local availability. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will show exact pricing for your zip code at checkout, with delivery options and any next-day fees displayed before you buy.

Fill dirt is sometimes offered free because contractors and excavators need to haul away excess material and will drop it at no charge to avoid disposal fees. In Groesbeck you may find free fills, but quality, contamination risk, and delivery logistics vary, so inspect material or use a vetted supplier when you need predictable compaction and composition.

A common tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (roughly 12 to 16 tons, depending on moisture and soil type). Using local delivered pricing as an example, at $25 per ton a full truckload could cost around $300 to $400 for material, plus any delivery fee; Hello Gravel will show truck-size and cost estimates for your order during checkout.

Use this quick rule: 1 ton of fill dirt is about 0.83 cubic yards (≈22.5 cubic feet), so it will cover approximately 270/d square feet where d is depth in inches. For example, 1 ton covers about 270 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, 90 sq ft at 3u0022, or 45 sq ft at 6u0022, with actual coverage changing for compaction and soil moisture.

Fill dirt is generally cheaper per yard than gravel because it is common subsoil material, but it serves different purposes. For structural fill and compaction choose fill dirt; for drainage, driveways, or decorative surfaces choose gravel — pick the material that matches the job rather than price alone.

You should not use fill dirt alone for planting because it often lacks organic matter and can be compacted. The '70/30' guideline refers to mixing about 70% good topsoil with 30% compost to create a planting mix; for Groesbeck gardens place several inches of this topsoil/compost mix on top of any fill dirt to support healthy plants.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so it will cover about 324/d square feet where d is depth in inches. That means 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1u0022 depth, 108 sq ft at 3u0022, or 54 sq ft at 6u0022, though compaction and settlement will reduce final coverage.

Yes. West Ohio soils often contain clay that affects drainage and compaction, and wet or frozen ground in winter can change delivery and spreadability. Order extra (commonly 5-15% more) to allow for compaction, schedule deliveries when ground is accessible, and ask Hello Gravel for local supplier notes if you need specific grain size or low-organic fill.
