Fill Dirt in Irvington, KY

Yes. Fill-dirt is typically less processed than crushed gravel, so it usually costs less per ton in the Irvington area. Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, moisture and compaction, so check Hello Gravel for local, up-to-date pricing and minimum order details (minimum 3 tons).

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our region carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt (roughly 10 to 15 tons depending on moisture and soil type). Cost varies by supplier and delivery distance; use the cubic yard or tonage shown at checkout for an accurate delivered price, or contact our team for a truckload estimate for Irvington.

Multiply the area by the depth to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep equals about 12.35 cubic yards, which is roughly 15 to 20 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Adjust for your desired finished grade and add 5-15% extra for compaction and settlement.

You can, but only after the fill-dirt is properly placed and compacted. Uncompacted fill will settle and can cause the gravel surface to rut or wash out; for driveways and paths, place fill in lifts, compact each lift, and consider a geotextile fabric and a crushed stone base before the final gravel layer. Local drainage and frost conditions in West Kentucky make proper preparation especially important.

No, 2 inches is usually not enough. For simple lawn leveling 2 to 3 inches may be okay in spots, but for driveways, hardscaping or to change grade you should plan on at least 6 to 12 inches of compacted fill placed in lifts. Always account for compaction and final grade when calculating how much material to order.

It depends on the driveway width and desired raise. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway raised 6 inches, you need about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 4 cu yd), which is approximately 5 to 6 tons. If you need a deeper build (8–12 inches) or a wider drive, multiply accordingly and add extra for compaction and grading.

Buy local, order by the truckload, and be flexible on delivery dates to reduce hauling fees. Reusing on-site soil when suitable, buying screened (clean) vs. raw fill only when needed, and requesting quotes from nearby suppliers via Hello Gravel can also lower costs. Scheduling standard delivery (2+ business days) rather than rush service will usually save money.

Soils in West Kentucky often include clays and silty loams, which influence drainage and compaction behavior. If you need good drainage or a stable base, ask for screened fill or a mix specified by the supplier and note local conditions in your order notes; our team can help match material to your project and local geology.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to modify or cancel an order. We will do our best to accommodate requests prior to processing or dispatch, but changes are subject to supplier and trucking schedules and are not always possible once a truck is assigned.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout—but there are no guarantees, and driver safety and site access will determine whether spreading is feasible.

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

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.
