Fill Dirt in Bowling Green, KY

Delivered fill dirt prices in Bowling Green typically fall in the range of about $18 to $40 per cubic yard, depending on material quality, how far the supplier must haul, and whether the load is full or split.

To raise 1,000 square feet by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards of fill dirt (1,000 sq ft x 0.25 ft depth = 250 cubic feet; 250 ÷ 27 = 9.26). At Bowling Green delivery rates of roughly $18 to $40 per cubic yard, expect a delivered material cost of about $170 to $370, not including any optional spreading or compaction labor.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, though capacities vary by truck. Using the local per-yard range, a single truckload to Bowling Green will often cost in the ballpark of $180 to $480 delivered; exact pricing depends on yards delivered, local rates, and whether multiple stops or split loads are involved.

Some local haulers may offer tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion, and specialty contractors in Bowling Green can provide full spreading and compaction for additional fees. Typical labor rates for spreading and compaction work run widely, often from about $50 to $100 per hour for a crew or roughly $5 to $15 per cubic yard as a rough estimate; always request a firm quote and note that Hello Gravel cannot guarantee spreading services by default.

For leveling and raising grades, fill dirt is the more cost-effective bulk material because it is cheaper and designed for structural fill. If you plan to grow grass or plant beds on top, put a thin layer (2 to 4 inches) of topsoil over the fill dirt for proper organic matter and plant health, rather than using topsoil as the entire bulk fill.

You can put gravel directly over stable, compacted subgrade, but in Bowling Green you often need to remove soft topsoil and organic material first because local soils can be clayey and hold moisture. If the grade is low or you need to build elevation, bring in clean fill dirt and compact it, then install a compacted stone base and geotextile before placing driveway gravel to protect drainage and longevity.

Drainage depends on the fill dirt composition; many Bowling Green soils contain silt and clay that slow infiltration, so plain fill dirt may not provide good drainage on its own. For grading projects where water control matters, plan to add gravel, crushed stone, or drainage structures (like French drains or perforated pipe) and slope the soil away from foundations to improve runoff.
