Fill Dirt in Frisco City, AL

Prices for fill-dirt in Frisco City vary by supplier, haul distance, and moisture content, so there is no single local rate to quote. Hello Gravel provides transparent per-ton pricing for your zip code when you request a quote online; expect variation depending on whether material is sourced from nearby West Alabama pits or farther away.

Hello Gravel partners with a network of vetted local suppliers and haulers across West Alabama and can confirm who serves Frisco City when you enter your zip code. If you need specific quarry names, contact our team and we will match you with available suppliers and delivery options for your address.

A good rule of thumb is 1 cubic yard of loose fill-dirt equals about 1.2 to 1.4 short tons, depending on moisture and how compacted the material is. For planning, use 1.3 tons per cubic yard as a middle estimate, and ask Hello Gravel for a site-specific conversion if material is very wet or heavily compacted.

Small landscaping deliveries usually do not require permits, but larger grading, regrading, or filling that changes drainage patterns may require approvals from Frisco City or Monroe County. Before a big import or earthwork project, check with Frisco City Hall and Monroe County planning or the county engineer to confirm local permit and erosion-control requirements.

West Alabama soils often contain sticky clay that expands when wet and shrinks when dry, so fill-dirt placed without proper control can settle unevenly or retain moisture. To reduce future settlement, contractors in the area place fill in thin lifts, control moisture during compaction, and provide positive drainage away from structures.

Contractors typically spread fill-dirt in 4 to 8 inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller, finish to grade, and install drainage where needed. Labor and equipment costs vary widely by job size, access and site conditions; request written quotes from local contractors and confirm they include compaction testing or acceptance criteria if you are filling for a building pad.

Fill-dirt is fine-grained and best used for bulk raising and backfill, but it does not drain well and is not suitable as a finished driveway surface. Crusher-run or bank-run gravels offer better drainage and load-bearing performance for driveways and building bases, so many West Alabama projects use fill-dirt for grade work and then a gravel base for drive and pad areas.

Common fixes in the region include installing geotextile fabric to separate clay from aggregate, adding coarse aggregate or a layer of crushed stone for a stable base, and, for engineered pads, using lime or cement stabilization to improve clay strength. Discuss the site conditions with a contractor or soil engineer before ordering additives, since treatment depends on the specific soil and project goals.

Keep in mind Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST, and dump trucks typically deliver via tri-axle trucks. Measure your area, note preferred drop location and access notes at checkout, and request tailgate spreading if you want it — drivers may provide it at their discretion but it is not guaranteed.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
