Fill Dirt in Star Valley Ranch, WY

Delivered price includes the material, haul from a local supplier, and basic offload (tailgate) unless you request spreading. Typical delivered rates to Star Valley Ranch can vary widely with distance and site access; expect roughly $20 to $60 per cubic yard as a ballpark range, but exact pricing requires a zip-code quote from Hello Gravel.

A common tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt, though smaller or larger trucks are sometimes used. Delivered cost per load depends on material price and travel time; typical delivered loads to rural Lincoln County often fall in the low hundreds to under a thousand dollars per truck, so ask Hello Gravel for a live quote based on your address and desired placement.

Fill-dirt is usually the cheaper material per cubic yard because it is mined and sold as plain soil, while crushed gravel costs more due to processing and rock weight. However, crushed gravel provides structural strength and drainage that fill-dirt does not, so for driveways or structural bases crushed gravel may save money on downstream work even if the upfront material cost is higher.

Raising 1 acre by 6 inches requires about 806 cubic yards of fill-dirt (43,560 sq ft x 0.5 ft ÷ 27). Using the rough delivered range above, that equals about $16,000 to $48,360 delivered to Star Valley Ranch, but final costs depend on haul distance, access, and any compaction or spreading services you need—get a site-specific quote from Hello Gravel.

Hello Gravel's platform generally enforces a minimum order equivalent to 3 tons, and many suppliers quote by truckload (about 10–14 cubic yards) rather than single cubic yards. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, next-day is sometimes available if ordered before noon CST for an added fee, and delivery fees vary by supplier and proximity—check the checkout quote for your address.

Lincoln County and Star Valley Ranch may have seasonal house/road weight limits (spring thaw restrictions), local road permitting requirements for heavy hauls, and HOA/site rules that affect deliveries. Always check with Lincoln County Road & Bridge, the Star Valley Ranch town or HOA office, and Hello Gravel before ordering to confirm any permits, road bans, or site restrictions for your delivery date.

For driveways and pad bases, a well-graded crushed rock base compacted in lifts is a far better structural choice than loose fill-dirt, which can settle and retain water. Crushed rock typically costs more per cubic yard than fill-dirt, but it reduces excavation and concrete needs and performs better in freeze-thaw conditions common in Star Valley Ranch—ask Hello Gravel about local materials and comparative quotes for your project.

The best time is late spring through early fall when the ground is thawed and county road weight restrictions are usually lifted—this avoids frozen-ground complications and spring road bans. Schedule deliveries early in the season if you need grading and compaction before winter, and confirm dates with Hello Gravel since local weather and road conditions can affect timing.

Costs vary with how much fill you need, access, and contractor rates, but as an example raising a 0.25-acre lot by 6 inches is about 201 cubic yards; material plus delivery, basic grading, and compaction could commonly range from roughly $4,000 to $15,000 depending on site conditions and whether erosion control or extra hauling is required.
