Fill Dirt in Lebanon, OH

Yes, fill-dirt is generally cheaper than decorative gravel because it is less processed and not sized or washed. In Lebanon you can usually expect lower per-yard costs for fill-dirt compared with crushed stone or decorative aggregates, but exact prices depend on local supply and delivery distance.

Prices vary by supplier and job size, but in the Lebanon area fill-dirt commonly ranges roughly $10 to $25 per cubic yard delivered. Final price depends on factors like haul distance, truck access, and how much material you order; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and shows local pricing at checkout.

Coverage depends on depth. As a rough guide, 1 ton of fill-dirt is about 0.7 cubic yard and will cover roughly 230 sq ft at 1-inch depth, 115 sq ft at 2-inch depth, and about 39 sq ft at 6-inch depth. Always add 5-15% extra for compaction and grading when ordering.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in Lebanon carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose material, which converts to roughly 14 to 18 tons of fill-dirt depending on moisture and soil density. If you need an exact amount for your driveway or yard, provide your site details and Hello Gravel can confirm typical truck capacities for your delivery.

Using local price ranges, a 10-yard load in Lebanon typically runs between about $100 and $250, though rates can be higher if the delivery address has limited access or requires long-haul trucking.

Yes, fill-dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and bring yards to grade. For lawn or planting areas in Lebanon you should place fill-dirt in lifts, compact each layer, and top with a few inches of topsoil before seeding to ensure good growth and drainage.

You can put gravel over fill-dirt, but the fill must be properly compacted and graded first to prevent settling and ruts. For driveways or paths in Lebanon, compact the fill-dirt, add a crushed-stone base, and consider a geotextile fabric to separate the soil from the gravel for longer-lasting results.

Start with compacted fill-dirt, then place a layer of crushed stone as a base and optional geotextile fabric between soil and stone. In Lebanon's freeze-thaw climate this combination reduces frost heave, improves drainage, and keeps the gravel from mixing into the underlying fill-dirt.

The best time is generally late spring through early fall when the ground is not frozen and the soil is easier to grade and compact. Avoid delivery during very wet periods in early spring to minimize compaction issues; if you must work in shoulder seasons, allow extra time for settling and additional compaction.

It depends on your truck's payload rating. Many full-size pickups can carry around 1,500 to 3,000 pounds in the bed, so one ton (2,000 lb) may be near the limit; check your vehicle's payload sticker before hauling. For convenience and safety, Hello Gravel's dump truck delivery is recommended for orders of 3 tons or more.

Ordering bulk quantities and choosing standard delivery windows usually yields the best per-ton price because trucking is more efficient for larger loads. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier rates and delivery options, and request standard delivery (2+ business days) rather than expedited service to lower costs.

Deliveries are made by local contracted dump trucks and typically require a clear driveway or drop zone with reasonable access. Drivers may perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but compaction and final grading are the customer's responsibility; if you need spreading services, request it at checkout and be prepared for the driver to assess safety on arrival.
