A common tri-axle dump truck in our network carries roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. Using the per-cubic-yard range above, a single truckload will often cost roughly $150 to $360 delivered, but your quote may differ based on road access, driveways, and any extra delivery fees.

You can use gravel in some leveling or drainage spots, but it performs very differently from fill dirt. Fill dirt compacts and provides a stable platform for grading and turf, while gravel drains well and can shift under a lawn; for most yard level work choose compactable fill dirt and reserve gravel for drainage trenches or driveway bases.

Use the simple formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in feet) / 27. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches (0.25 ft) you need about 9.3 cubic yards; by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards. If you prefer, our material calculator or our sales team can compute this for your exact dimensions and suggest a small overage for settlement.

Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion if it is safe and feasible; this should be requested at checkout but is not guaranteed. Full spreading and compaction usually require separate labor or equipment (plate compactor, roller) from local contractors — expect to pay a labor/equipment fee if you hire a crew, and ask our team for local referrals.

Borrow fill generally refers to subsoil dug from a borrow pit and tends to have low organic content and good compaction properties, while standard fill dirt can vary and sometimes contains more topsoil or mixed materials. For structural fill or driveway bases in Vista Hills Park, choose low-organic, compactable borrow or screened fill; for landscaping where you want grass to grow, finish with screened topsoil on top of the fill.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so the coverage depends on depth: at 3 inches deep 1 cubic yard covers about 108 square feet; at 6 inches it covers about 54 square feet. A typical 50 lb bag of pea gravel is about 0.5 cubic feet, so it takes roughly 54 fifty-pound bags to equal one cubic yard.

For driveway bases and structural fills, use clean, low-organic, compactable fill or borrow fill that compacts well and sheds water. For final lawn grading, place screened topsoil (a thin finish layer) over the compacted fill. Local suppliers in our network can usually supply these different materials — note your intended use when ordering so we match the right product.

Rules vary by city, county, and HOA — large deliveries, major grade changes, driveway cuts, or extended truck parking can trigger permits or HOA approvals in Vista Hills Park.
