Fill Dirt in Equality, AL

Per ton, fill-dirt is usually cheaper than crushed gravel in West Alabama, but it is not a good finished surface for driveways. Fill-dirt works well to raise grade or fill low spots before you install a gravel or stone base; for a durable driving surface you should plan on crushed stone on top of compacted fill. If you want both cost savings and a usable driveway, use fill-dirt for bulk build-up and then cover with 3/4" crushed stone.

A quick example: 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep equals about 12.3 cubic yards, which is roughly 16 tons using a 1.3 tons/yd3 conversion. At typical West Alabama material prices ($10 to $25 per ton) expect material costs of about $160 to $400, plus delivery (often $75 to $200) and any spreading/compaction charges; a realistic delivered and installed range is about $350 to $1,000 depending on access and services requested. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can provide a tailored quote for your Equality address.

In West Alabama, fill-dirt commonly ranges from about $10 to $25 per ton before optional services; prices vary with source quality, moisture, and distance.

Because Equality is a small, rural community, delivery fees often reflect the round-trip distance from the supplier and any difficult access or narrow roads. Expect delivery to add $50 to $200 or more for single loads depending on distance and truck size; multi-ton orders can be more efficient per ton since minimum fees spread across more material.

Yes. The native red clay in this region tends to hold moisture and can settle or shrink unevenly, which may require extra fill allowance, additional compaction passes, and drainage measures. That means you might need slightly more material and more site prep (grading, geotextile, or undercutting) than in sandy areas, increasing labor and equipment costs.

Common extras include tailgate spreading (often $50 to $300 depending on scope), mechanical compaction (contractor rates vary; $100 to $400 typical), and disposal or removal of unsuitable soils, which is billed separately. Note that Hello Gravel can request spreading but drivers perform it at their discretion; for guaranteed spreading and compaction, hire a local contractor and ask suppliers for combined quotes.

Yes. Suppliers commonly offer lower per-ton pricing for large loads or repeat contractor accounts. Hello Gravel negotiates with local suppliers and can help secure volume discounts or contractor pricing — contact our sales team with your project size to get a custom quote for Equality.
