Fill Dirt in Warren, OH

Delivered fill-dirt in the Warren area typically runs about $15 to $35 per ton (roughly $10 to $25 per cubic yard), depending on whether it is clean/screened or mixed unscreened, truck access, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel’s marketplace may show local supplier pricing in that range, with a minimum order often around 3 tons.

A single tri-axle dump-truck load of loose fill-dirt in Trumbull County typically contains 10 to 14 cubic yards and can cost roughly $150 to $500 delivered, depending on material type, truck size, and delivery distance. Wet or heavier soils and next-day delivery options will push the price higher. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and get an exact delivered price for your driveway or yard.

Local tri-axle dump trucks commonly carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards loose of fill-dirt; that equates to roughly 11 to 16 tons depending on moisture and soil density. Smaller single-axle trucks often carry 5 to 8 cubic yards (about 5.5 to 9 tons). Always confirm the truck size and estimated weight with your supplier because capacities vary by fleet and material moisture.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so it covers about 162 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 81 sq ft at 4u0022, and 54 sq ft at 6u0022. Because fill-dirt in this area typically weighs about 1.0 to 1.2 tons per cubic yard loose, one ton will cover slightly less area than one cubic yard (roughly 135 sq ft at 2u0022, 67 sq ft at 4u0022, 44 sq ft at 6u0022). Use these numbers to calculate material needs and add 5–15% extra for settling and compaction.

Possibly, but it depends on the truck’s payload rating. Many half-ton pickups have payload limits around 1,200 to 2,500 lb, so a single ton (2,000 lb) may be within limits for some trucks but not others. Always check your vehicle’s GVWR/payload placard and avoid overloading; if in doubt, arrange delivery or use a contractor to avoid safety and legal issues in Ohio.

For yard leveling, use clean fill-dirt or screened topsoil where you need good compaction and plantable surface; it is cheaper and easier to grade. For driveway base and structural support, use a compactable aggregate (crushed stone or 21AA) on top of a stable subgrade—fill-dirt alone won’t provide proper drainage or long-term support. Often projects use both: fill-dirt or engineered fill for subgrade corrections, then crushed stone for the driveway base.

For very small needs under about 3 cubic yards, bagged soil or a pickup truck load from a garden center may be cheapest. For 3 to 20 cubic yards, bulk delivery via dump truck through Hello Gravel is usually most economical because per-ton pricing and delivery are lower than bagged materials. For medium projects near 20 yd3, order a single truckload to minimize delivery fees and confirm the truck size with the supplier to avoid double-handling.

Typical prep includes clearing vegetation, rough grading, and compaction; geotextile fabric is recommended over soft spots. Equipment rental for a plate compactor is commonly $60 to $120 per day, while small rollers or skid-steer rentals run $200 to $400 per day; contractor labor rates locally often range $40 to $75 per hour. Ask contractors for a site visit so they can give a tailored estimate, since soil conditions in West Ohio and access will affect costs.

Assuming a 20-ft long by 10-ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) with 6u0022 compacted fill base and 4u0022 crushed gravel top, you’ll need about 3.7 cubic yards of fill-dirt and 2.5 cubic yards of gravel (about 6.2 cubic yards total). Materials and delivery typically run roughly $250 to $800 depending on material choices (fill-dirt being cheaper than crushed stone), plus any compaction and labor; an installed contractor price could range $600 to $2,000 depending on site prep and local labor rates.

Clean or screened fill-dirt is milled to remove large rocks and debris, so it compacts more uniformly and is better for landscaping or under patios; it usually costs more per ton than mixed unscreened fill. Mixed or unscreened fill contains chunks of rock and organic matter, is cheaper, and can require more volume and extra compaction work to achieve the same grade. Tell suppliers in the Hello Gravel checkout whether you need screened material and note that regional availability in West Ohio affects both price and color/texture.
