Fill dirt weight depends on moisture and composition, but a typical estimate is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard. Because weight affects your truck and your site, confirm your driveway and vehicle payload limits—Hello Gravel delivers by dump truck so we manage hauling, but you should note any tight access or weight restrictions in Order Notes.

Fill dirt is primarily subsoil and fine particles used to build up or level ground; it contains little organic matter and may include clay or small rock. Gravel is crushed stone used for drainage and structural bases; it does not compact like soil and is chosen when stability and drainage are needed.

You can put gravel over fill dirt, but proper preparation is important: compact the fill dirt, remove loose organic material, and consider a geotextile fabric or crushed stone base to prevent mixing and sinking. For driveways or high-traffic areas in West Ohio's freeze-thaw climate, a compacted base will extend performance.

Coverage varies by depth. As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of fill dirt will cover about 250 sq ft at a 1-inch depth, about 83 sq ft at a 3-inch depth, and roughly 28 sq ft at a 9-inch depth; actual coverage depends on compaction and soil type.

Delivery trucks used by Hello Gravel range: a small dump truck might carry 5 to 6 cubic yards, while a tri-axle truck often carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards. We’ll show truck type and pricing during checkout and can suggest the best truck size based on your driveway access and order size.

A 10-yard load of basic fill dirt in the region commonly falls in the range of $150 to $500 before any special fees, depending on supplier, haul distance, and site access. For an accurate figure for Wyoming, OH, enter your address on Hello Gravel to get a detailed quote including delivery options.

It may fit physically in the bed of many full-size pickups, because one cubic yard is a 3'x3'x3' cube, but weight is the real concern. A cubic yard of fill dirt can weigh around 2,400 to 3,000 pounds when wet; check your truck’s payload limit before loading—Hello Gravel recommends professional truck delivery for larger loads.

That depends on wheelbarrow size: a common homeowner wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so 1 cubic yard (27 cubic feet) equals roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow trips. A contractor-style 6 cu ft wheelbarrow would need about 4 to 5 trips.

Yes—fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and level yards, but proper compaction in lifts (small layers) is important to avoid future settling. For larger projects or near foundations, consider consulting a contractor and check local grading or drainage guidelines to ensure water does not run toward structures.

Start with a well-compacted fill-dirt base, then add a layer of crushed stone or a compacted aggregate base before the top gravel. Using a geotextile fabric between the fill dirt and base stone can help prevent mixing and improve long-term drainage—a useful step in Ohio’s variable weather.

Late spring through early fall is usually best because soils are drier and easier to compact, and there is less risk of frost heaving. Avoid very wet periods or frozen ground in winter to reduce compaction problems and delivery delays.
