Fill Dirt in Holladay, UT

Pricing varies by supplier, haul distance, site access, and quantity, but in West Utah you can generally expect roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard delivered (about $12 to $30 per ton) for basic fill-dirt. Smaller orders and difficult access push the price to the higher end, while bulk orders usually qualify for discounts. For an exact delivered price to your Holladay address, request a quote through our site and include site photos and desired depth.

For raising grade under lawns or garden beds, fill-dirt is the more cost-effective choice for bulk volume, but it does not provide a stable, load-bearing base. For driveways or areas that need long-term load-bearing and good drainage in Holladay's freeze-thaw climate, crushed gravel or crusher-run with proper compaction is recommended. Often the right solution is a combination: structural gravel base topped with select fill or topsoil where needed.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Delivery fees depend on supplier distance and site conditions; steep driveways, tight access, or required permits can add charges. Request a quote with your address and access details to see exact fees and available dates.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so it covers about 162 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 108 sq ft at 3u0022 depth, and 54 sq ft at 6u0022 depth. Note that this is loose volume; after compaction you should allow for roughly 10% to 20% volume reduction, so order extra to account for compaction. If you prefer to plan by weight, a cubic yard of fill-dirt in our region typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and composition.

Small landscape deliveries are usually allowed without a permit, but any fill that changes drainage, affects neighboring properties, or involves significant grading can trigger city or county permitting. Holladay and Salt Lake County require permits for larger grading or retaining-wall projects, and HOAs may have additional rules. Contact the City of Holladay Building/Planning Department and check HOA covenants before ordering large volumes.

Many local suppliers and contractor partners can provide combined services—delivery, spread, grade, and compaction—but availability varies by supplier and crew workload. Tailgate spreading by the driver may be offered at their discretion; for guaranteed spreading and compaction, ask suppliers for a separate installed quote. Installed prices vary based on scope and access, so get itemized bids that separate material, labor, and equipment charges.

For driveways and areas needing structural support use crusher-run or road base (a mix of angular rock and fines) compacted in lifts; for drainage trenches and french drains use clean washed rock or drain rock (3/4u0022 minus or larger clean stone). For non-structural elevation or landscaping, select low-organic fill-dirt (often labeled 'structural fill' or 'fill dirt') to avoid settling and vegetation. Local suppliers around Holladay typically stock road base, crusher-run, washed drain rock, and common fill-dirt types—ask when you request a quote.

Yes—spring and early summer are peak landscaping seasons and can lead to tighter schedules and higher prices, while winter weather can limit site access and deliveries in Holladay's colder months. Wet conditions after snowmelt can also affect trucking and spreading, potentially delaying projects or increasing fees. We recommend ordering and scheduling in advance for spring and fall projects.

Yes, suppliers in the Holladay area commonly offer lower-cost options such as crusher-run, compacted decomposed granite, and compacted gravel that can serve as economical surfacing for small patios and paths. These options are often cheaper than poured concrete and can be installed with basic compaction and edging; permeability and maintenance differ by material so discuss your use case with the supplier. Ask for sample photos and maintenance notes when you get a quote.

Suppliers need your full delivery address, desired depth and area to be filled, photos of the site and driveway/access, any gate or overhead clearance limits, and notes on slope or drainage concerns and HOA rules. Mention if you want tailgate spreading, compacting, or installed services and include any permit requirements you have already checked with the city. The more detail and photos you provide, the more accurate the delivered price and timing will be.
