Fill-dirt in North Versailles, PA

Delivered fill-dirt in North Versailles typically ranges based on volume, access, and supplier. Expect roughly $20 to $50 per cubic yard delivered (or about $15 to $35 per ton) for common fill-dirt mixes, though exact pricing depends on haul distance, site access, and any placement services requested.

Yes, basic fill-dirt is generally cheaper than screened topsoil because it is less refined and not intended for planting. In North Versailles you can usually buy fill-dirt for a lower per-yard price than topsoil, but if you need planting or turf grade material you should budget for topsoil or a soil blend.

A typical tri-axle dump truck serving North Versailles will carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt (roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and composition). If you need more exact coverage for your site, tell us the truck size when ordering so we can estimate how many truckloads you will receive.

For light yard leveling or adding 2 inches of fill across a 1,000 sq ft area you would need about 6 cubic yards (roughly 7 to 9 tons). For heavier fills, like raising grade by 6 inches on the same area, plan on about 18 cubic yards (roughly 20 to 27 tons). Use our online calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate that reflects local compaction rates.

One cubic yard is a stack about 3 ft long by 3 ft wide by 3 ft high — roughly the size of a small refrigerator. Keep in mind fill-dirt can compact and settle over time, so plan extra (commonly 5-10% more) when ordering for final grade work.

Coverage depends on depth: one ton of typical fill-dirt covers about 40 to 80 sq ft at 1 inch depth (approximately 0.7 to 1.4 cubic feet per ton varies with moisture and composition). For most North Versailles projects it's easier to estimate in cubic yards, but if you only have ton pricing we can help convert for your job.

Many homeowners can spread fill-dirt themselves for small projects like low spots or garden beds, provided you have a wheelbarrow and tools and the truck can safely tip in your driveway. For compaction-sensitive work — building pads, foundation backfill, or drainage regrades — hire a pro who will place and compact material in lifts to meet local building or permit requirements.

No, 2 inches is generally not enough for most driveway or structural lawn work because fill-dirt requires compaction and extra depth to avoid future settling. For temporary leveling you might add 2 inches, but for a stable lawn aim for 4 to 6 inches of good topsoil over fill, and for structural fills or driveway bases plan 6 to 12 inches or more with proper compaction.

Clear vehicles and obstacles from the delivery zone and identify your preferred drop location in the Order Notes. Make sure the driver has safe access and tell us about narrow gates, low-hanging wires, or steep driveways; difficult access may increase fees or require a smaller truck.

Yes. Our platform works with local suppliers that usually require a minimum order of about 3 tons. Larger projects often get better per-unit pricing, so check quantities in our calculator or contact the sales team for bulk orders.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed. If you want spreading noted, request it at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival; for controlled placement or compaction hire a landscaper or contractor.

Yes. North Versailles and West Pennsylvania soils often include clay and shale fragments that affect drainage and compaction. Tell our team if your project needs free-draining fill or structural backfill so we can source the most appropriate local material and advise on compaction and drainage measures.

Contact our customer service as soon as possible — we will try to accommodate changes prior to processing and dispatch. Changes are easier before the truck is scheduled; once the supplier is dispatched modifications may be limited, so reach out promptly to avoid extra charges.
