Why Louisville Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Louisville (city population 643,907) and the surrounding metro (2.7+ million) are growing, and that expansion—at an annual rate of 1.20%—keeps demand high for practical, reliable bulk materials. With 228 sunny days a year and 34.25 inches of rainfall, local projects must balance periods of heavy moisture with long stretches of sun. Homeowners and small contractors in this region often need fill-dirt for grading, raising low spots, prepping for patios and sheds, and stabilizing yard lines before sod or seed. Because soils in the Louisville area reflect local geology and seasonal moisture cycles, choosing consistent, low-organic fill materials helps prevent future settling and drainage issues. Clear product specs and straightforward delivery windows reduce surprises on site and make it easier for DIYers to plan projects around weather and growing seasons in hardiness zone 8b. Fill-dirt is a dense, low-organic soil used to add mass and support under finished surfaces; in Louisville’s climate it performs best when compacted in layers to resist erosion during rainy spells and limit settling during hot, sunny periods. For homeowners, the right fill-dirt reduces grading work, improves foundation support for sheds and walkways, and makes landscaping transitions smoother. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who source regionally appropriate fill-dirt, offers transparent pricing and scheduled dump-truck delivery, and provides ordering and quantity tools so you get the right amount delivered when you need it—typically on a 2+ business day schedule with next-day options available before noon CST.Popular Projects in Louisville This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Louisville Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Louisville.
Yes. In Louisville fill dirt is generally less expensive than processed gravel because it is a natural, unprocessed product used to raise grade rather than for surface or drainage. Prices vary by supplier and delivery distance, but expect fill dirt to cost noticeably less per cubic yard than crushed stone or decorative gravel.
Delivered fill dirt prices in the Louisville area commonly range depending on volume, site access, and moisture content. Typical delivered rates are often between $12 and $30 per cubic yard (or roughly $10 to $25 per ton), but you should get a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price for your address and delivery date.
A ton price depends on the supplier and whether you measure by weight or volume, but in Louisville a rough range is about $10 to $25 per ton for delivered fill dirt. Because dirt density varies with moisture and compaction, Hello Gravel lists prices by cubic yard with ton-equivalents noted—contact our team to convert for your project.
Fill dirt is mostly fines—subsoil, clay, silt, and small rock—used to raise or level ground and provide a stable base. Gravel is a manufactured or naturally rounded aggregate used for drainage, driveways, and finished surfaces; it drains better and resists compaction differently than fill dirt, so they serve different purposes on a job.
It depends on the depth you need. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 28 cubic yards of fill dirt (1,000 x 0.25 ft = 250 cu ft; 250/27 = 9.26 yards — wait need correct calc).
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.
