Fill Dirt in Eureka, MO

Yes—fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than decorative gravel because it is a basic soil product without stone. However, for driveway bases, gravel often performs better for drainage and long-term stability, so total project cost can be higher if you need extra grading, compaction, or undercutting when using fill dirt. Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and order size, so check a quote for an accurate comparison.

Fill dirt is mostly soil with minimal rock and is used to raise elevations, fill voids, or create level pads; it does not drain well. Gravel is crushed rock that provides stable, draining support for driveways and walking surfaces. In Eureka's local soils, fill dirt is useful for grading and backfill, while a gravel or crushed stone layer is recommended on top for driveways to prevent rutting and improve drainage.

Delivered fill dirt prices in the Eureka area commonly range roughly from $10 to $35 per cubic yard, which converts to about $8 to $30 per ton depending on moisture and density. Final pricing depends on supplier, haul distance, job size, and whether the material is screened or blended, so request a delivered quote from Hello Gravel for an exact price to your address.

Coverage depends on depth: 4 inches requires about 12.3 cubic yards, 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards, and 12 inches about 37 cubic yards. Using a typical delivered range of $10 to $35 per cubic yard, expect material and delivery to run roughly $120 to $430 for 4 inches, $185 to $650 for 6 inches, and $370 to $1,295 for 12 inches; get a precise quote because delivery fees and minimum orders affect total cost.

Costs depend on driveway width and depth; assuming a 20-foot-long by 10-foot-wide driveway (200 sq ft) with a 4-inch base, you need about 6.7 cubic yards of fill dirt. At $10 to $35 per cubic yard delivered, material plus delivery will typically be $70 to $235, but smaller jobs can have higher per-unit delivery fees and you may also need compaction or a top layer of gravel, which adds contractor or material costs. For an accurate total, provide your address and project dimensions for a Hello Gravel quote.

You can place fill dirt over existing soil for minor grade adjustments, but proper preparation—removing organic material, soft spots, and trash—is important to avoid future settling. For structural work, foundations, or driveway bases, best practice is to place fill in 4- to 8-inch lifts and compact each lift; engineered or tested fill and compaction testing may be required for foundations. Local Missouri clay soils can hold moisture and settle differently, so consult a contractor for structural applications.

A tri-axle dump truck commonly carries about 12 to 16 cubic yards of loose fill dirt; larger end dumps carry more. Delivered cost per truck load in the Eureka area typically ranges from about $200 to $900 depending on load size, distance, and supplier availability. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (usually 3 tons) and can provide truck-size pricing when you enter your zip code and address.

For 1,000 sq ft: 4 inches = about 12.3 cubic yards; 6 inches = 18.5 cubic yards; 8 inches = 24.7 cubic yards; 12 inches = 37.0 cubic yards. In tons, using a rough conversion of about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard for local fill dirt, that equals roughly 14 to 48 tons depending on depth and moisture. Local variations occur, so order a little extra or confirm density with your supplier.

Some local suppliers can source engineered or compacted fill material suitable for structural work, but availability varies by supplier and project specs. Trucking partners may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, but compaction and certification are usually done by contractors with compaction equipment; Hello Gravel can help connect you with suppliers and recommend local contractors for installation and testing. For foundation work, ask for material specifications and compaction acceptance criteria before ordering.
