Fill Dirt in Montgomery, LA

In West Louisiana a 10-yard load of basic fill-dirt typically runs in the range of about $200 to $600 delivered to Montgomery, depending on supplier, truck access, and whether the dirt is screened or has clay. Final price can vary with delivery distance, driveway access, and seasonal demand. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (3 tons) and will show local supplier pricing and delivery fees at checkout.

To add 2 inches of fill-dirt to 1,000 sq ft you need roughly 6.2 cubic yards. Material plus delivery in West Louisiana will commonly be $100 to $350 for the dirt and delivery, while professional spreading/compaction can add $200 to $600 depending on crew and site conditions—so expect a total ballpark of $300 to $950. Prices vary by supplier, truck access, and whether the driver can safely tailgate-spread (drivers may do this at their discretion).

For very small jobs (a yard or two) picking up in a trailer can be cheapest because you avoid a truck delivery fee. For mid-to-large jobs, ordering a full dump truck (10 yards) or bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is usually more economical per cubic yard because hauling and load fees are shared across more material. Compare the time and fuel cost of a pickup trip, local supplier pricing, and the minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons) to decide.

Fill-dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than washed sand, but fill-dirt is not a recommended finish surface for driveways because it can compact unevenly and track mud. For driveways you should usually use crushed stone or a gravel base (and possibly sand under paver systems), not straight fill-dirt. Use fill-dirt for grading and raising low spots, then cover with a proper driveway material.

Two inches of fill-dirt is only suitable for very minor grade adjustments, not as a stable driveway base. For a driveway you typically need 4 to 6 inches of compacted base material (crusher run or crushed stone) over a prepared subgrade; fill-dirt can be used beneath that to build up elevation but should be compacted in 4-6 inch lifts. If you plan to raise or regrade the driveway, calculate the required depth of fill-dirt plus the thickness of your gravel base.

A 20x20 driveway is 400 sq ft. If you need 4 inches of compacted base material that could be about 5 cubic yards of base plus 2-3 cubic yards of fill-dirt to adjust grade, depending on existing conditions. Expect materials and delivery for a small driveway project in West Louisiana to range roughly $300 to $1,200, with labor for grading and compaction adding another $300 to $900 depending on contractor rates and site access. Contact Hello Gravel for local supplier quotes and ask for spreading/compaction options when booking.

One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers approximately: 324 sq ft at 1 inch, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Use those numbers to calculate how many cubic yards you need, then add 5-15% extra for compaction and grading. If you prefer tons, ask Hello Gravel for local conversion—weight varies with soil moisture and type.

Unscreened or borrow fill (often a sandy clay) is usually the least expensive option and is commonly used to raise grade before installing a proper base. Most local suppliers and haulers in West Louisiana will deliver these materials by dump truck; availability can vary by supplier and season. If you need screened or engineered fill, expect a higher price—select that option in your Hello Gravel order notes.

You can place fill-dirt directly over existing soil to raise grade, but proper compaction in 4-6 inch layers is important to avoid future settling. For any traffic-bearing surface (driveway, parking area) you should add a structural base such as crusher run or crushed stone on top of compacted fill-dirt; additional materials and compacting will increase cost. If drainage is a concern, consider geotextile fabric and proper grading before finishing.

Retail stores such as Tractor Supply typically sell fill-dirt in small bagged quantities or in pallets, not full dump-truck loads. For bulk jobs in Montgomery you will usually get the best price and convenience by ordering a dump truck load from a local supplier or through Hello Gravel, which coordinates local haulers and shows delivery options. Use small-store purchases only for very small patch jobs.

Delivery cost depends on truck access, distance from the supplier, and whether the truck can dump where you want it. When ordering, tell suppliers your property address, preferred drop location, gate height, any overhead wires, driveway slope, and whether you need tailgate spreading (drivers may do this at their discretion). Providing good access details helps avoid extra fees or failed deliveries.

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.
