Fill Dirt in West Field, IN

Delivered fill-dirt in West Field typically ranges from about $12 to $30 per cubic yard (roughly $10 to $25 per ton), depending on moisture content and compaction. Final price depends on haul distance, quantity (minimum order is 3 tons), and supplier availability, so get a quote in the checkout to see exact delivered cost for your zip code.

Local fill-dirt is usually subsoil with low organic content, a mix of silt, sand, and clay, and few large stones; contractors often expect most particles to be under 3/8" to 1". For structural or engineered fills, contractors will request a gradation or sieve analysis and limits on organic matter; ask your Hello Gravel supplier for material specs before ordering large volumes.

Yes. Availability and pricing often shift seasonally: spring and fall grading seasons can push prices up 5-25% and slow deliveries, while winter can limit deliveries due to frozen ground and muddy conditions. Plan larger projects in summer when more suppliers are active and lead times are typically shorter.

Expect some settlement: typical field settlement for loose placed fill-dirt is 1-4 inches for the first year, but it varies with lift thickness and soil type. Contractors compact in lifts (commonly 6-8 inches) to 90-95% of standard Proctor for general fills and use heavier compaction and testing for structural work; for homeowner jobs, a plate compactor on 6" lifts is common practice.

For yard grading, 4-8 inches of compacted fill-dirt is typical to raise low spots before seeding. For driveways, use 6-8 inches of compacted fill-dirt as subgrade then add 4-6 inches of crushed stone for a stable base. Under concrete slabs, most building codes prefer engineered or select fill; if fill-dirt is used, plan for 6-12 inches of compacted, tested fill and consult your engineer or local building department.

Crushed stone is the best performer for driveway bases because it drains and locks under traffic; fill-dirt is cheaper but holds water and is prone to frost heave, so it is not recommended as the structural wearing surface. Topsoil is for planting and should not be used under drives; a common approach is compacted fill-dirt for minor grade adjustments, then a crushed stone base for the driveway surface.

Possibly. Local rules vary: small deliveries for yard work rarely need permits, but large fills, changes in drainage, or earthwork may trigger grading, stormwater, or erosion permits from West Field or the county. Check with the West Field building or public works department before ordering large volumes to confirm permit and erosion-control requirements.

Hauling distance is a major cost driver: most suppliers serve a 10-30 mile radius from their pits, and longer hauls add fuel and labor charges. Expect delivered price to increase noticeably beyond 20-30 miles; ask for a delivery breakdown in your Hello Gravel quote so you can see the mileage impact.

Common add-on services include tailgate spreading, machine spreading with a skid steer, and compaction. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver's discretion; when contractors provide spreading and compaction expect equipment rates in the ballpark of $75-$150 per hour or $10-$30 per cubic yard for simple spreading, but get a local quote because prices vary by crew size and project complexity.

Yes. Fill-dirt with high clay content can trap water and increase frost heave during freeze-thaw cycles common to Indiana, and poor drainage can undermine pavement or foundations. Mitigate risks by compacting in lifts, providing positive surface drainage, adding a clean stone layer or drainage pipe where needed, and avoiding organic-rich soils in structural areas.

Order an extra 5-15% to cover compaction, settlement, and minor grading errors; use the higher end of that range for deeper fills or loose, uncompacted material. If your project is critical (under slab or structural fill), consult an engineer for an exact allowance and testing requirements.

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.
