Fill Dirt in Harvey, LA

Typical delivered prices for bulk fill-dirt in the Harvey area usually fall in a range because suppliers, distance, and moisture vary. Expect roughly $10 to $30 per ton, which translates to about $12 to $36 per cubic yard using common loose-to-loose conversion factors. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and shows transparent, zip-code-based pricing at checkout, so check your zip code for exact quotes.

A 20 ft long by 10 ft wide example driveway (200 sq ft) needs about 1.2 cubic yards (2 inches) to 2.5 cubic yards (4 inches) of material. That converts roughly to 1.5 to 3.7 tons, depending on soil density and moisture; add 10-20% extra for compaction and settlement. Because Hello Gravel's minimum is 3 tons, you may meet that minimum for a 4-inch base but can ask about mixing materials or additional top layers.

Residential dump trucks commonly used for fill-dirt deliveries are small single-axle trucks (6-8 cubic yards) and standard tri-axle trucks (10-12 cubic yards). A typical tri-axle load will carry roughly 10-15 tons of soil; delivered cost for a full truckload in Harvey typically ranges from about $200 to $600 depending on load size, distance, and driveway access. Hello Gravel presents truck-based pricing at checkout and will note any access restrictions during booking.

Labor and equipment rates vary but expect labor-only spreading at about $40 to $75 per hour per worker, while small equipment (skid steer or mini-excavator) rates are typically $70 to $150 per hour including an operator. Grading and compaction by a contractor for a small residential area is often quoted as a project price and can run roughly $200 to $1,200 depending on access, slope, and needed finish. Ask contractors for a written scope that lists spreading, grading, and required passes with a compactor so you can compare estimates accurately.

On a per-ton basis, fill-dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel; fill-dirt often costs less to buy but performs differently. Gravel (crushed stone) provides better drainage and load-bearing capacity for a driveway, so you may save money upfront with fill-dirt but face higher maintenance or additional work later. For driveway bases in Harvey's climate (periodic heavy rain and sometimes high water table), many contractors recommend a compacted stone base rather than relying solely on fill-dirt.

Yes. Additional fees can apply for narrow drives, long walk-up distances, overhead obstructions, or need for special permits or street closures; suppliers or haulers reserve the right to add access or offload charges. Be upfront about tight gates, low branches, or homeowner association rules and include photos when you request a quote so potential extra fees are identified early. Hello Gravel asks for access details at checkout and will notify you if a supplier flags additional charges.

Same-week delivery is often possible in Harvey depending on supplier inventory and scheduling; Hello Gravel's standard delivery window is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. The platform minimum order is 3 tons, so small patch jobs sometimes require meeting that minimum or combining materials to reach it. If you need a tight timeline, book early and select the next-day option if eligible.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Because fill-dirt density varies, 1 ton typically represents about 0.66 to 0.83 cubic yards, so a single ton will cover roughly 215 to 270 sq ft at 1 inch, 108 to 135 sq ft at 2 inches, 72 to 90 sq ft at 3 inches, and 54 to 68 sq ft at 4 inches. Use these calculations to estimate material needs and add 10-20% for compaction and waste.

Costs vary by size and desired finish, but a small example driveway (200 sq ft) with a compacted 2-4 inch fill-dirt base plus a thin gravel wearing layer could range roughly from $350 to $1,200 for materials, delivery, and basic grading in Harvey. Lower-end estimates assume cheaper fill-dirt, minimal transport, and homeowner labor for spreading; higher-end figures include contractor grading, compaction, and premium gravel topping. Get multiple local quotes and include access details so estimates account for equipment needs and site conditions.

Suppliers typically need the delivery address and zip code, an accurate contact phone number, pictures or clear notes about site access (driveway width, gate height, overhead wires), the area dimensions and desired depth of fill, preferred delivery date and time window, and any permit or HOA requirements. Mention obstacles like soft ground, culverts, or required offloading location, and indicate whether you want spreading or if you will handle placement; providing photos speeds up an accurate quote.
