Fill-dirt in Blakeslee, PA

Typical delivered prices for fill-dirt in West Pennsylvania fall in the range of about $25 to $60 per cubic yard, so a 10-yard load commonly runs about $250 to $600 delivered. Final cost depends on local supplier rates, haul distance, truck access at your Blakeslee property, and any local fees or taxes. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (3 tons) and will show exact pricing after you enter your zip code at checkout.

Cost depends on the depth you need: 1 inch of fill-dirt over 1,000 sq ft is about 3.1 cubic yards, 2 inches is about 6.2 cubic yards, and 3 inches about 9.3 cubic yards. Using a typical delivered range of $25 to $60 per cubic yard, expect roughly $75 to $190 for 1 inch, $150 to $375 for 2 inches, and $225 to $560 for 3 inches, not including any spreading or compaction labor. Exact pricing is available when you enter your Blakeslee address on our site or call our team.

If you mean a typical single-car driveway about 10 ft wide by 20 ft long, a 4 inch base of fill-dirt is about 2.5 cubic yards and a 6 inch base about 3.7 cubic yards. At $25 to $60 per cubic yard delivered, materials and delivery will usually run roughly $60 to $220. Note that fill-dirt is inexpensive but not a durable driving surface by itself; you should budget extra for crushed stone or a gravel top and for contractor labor and compaction.

Fill-dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than crushed stone or gravel, but it is not a good wearing surface for driveways because it can rut and erode. For a driveway, order fill-dirt only to raise or level the subgrade, then place crushed stone or crusher run as the base and a top layer of gravel or paving material for the driving surface. If your goal is just to add inert material to raise ground level, order fill-dirt; if you need a stable driveway, order gravel or crushed stone for the top layers.

Yes — many Blakeslee homeowners order fill-dirt to level lawns or fill low spots. You can place an order on our website (check zip code for availability), choose a delivery date, and we will match you with a local supplier and hauler; standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST. Costs depend on the amount ordered and site access; request tailgate spreading at checkout but note spreading is by driver discretion and not guaranteed.

Prep is usually needed: remove vegetation and organic topsoil, correct soft spots, and establish proper drainage first so new material does not trap water. Contractors typically place fill-dirt in thin lifts and compact each layer to prevent future settling, and may use geotextile fabric where needed. If you are hiring a pro, ask them about grading, compaction, and permit needs for your Blakeslee property before delivery.

A simple rule: 1 inch of fill over 1,000 sq ft is about 3.1 cubic yards. So to raise a 5,000 sq ft yard by 2 inches you would need roughly 31 cubic yards. Hello Gravel coordinates deliveries of those quantities with local haulers, but confirm truck access, staging area, and supplier availability when ordering to ensure we can deliver the required amount to your Blakeslee address.

Most local suppliers serving West Pennsylvania offer residential dump truck delivery (typically tri-axle trucks) to Blakeslee addresses. Some drivers will offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; if spreading or handwork is available it may carry an extra fee that commonly ranges from about $50 to $200 depending on time and difficulty. You should request spreading in the order notes and confirm any service fees with our team before delivery because spreading is not guaranteed.

Yes. Changing grade or adding fill can affect stormwater flow and may trigger local township or county permits, erosion controls, or conservation district rules in Pennsylvania. Before you order, check with the Blakeslee-area township office or county planning department about grading, driveways, and stormwater requirements, and make sure your plan does not direct water onto neighboring properties. If in doubt, consult a local contractor or the township for permit and drainage guidance.
