Use a clean, compactable fill (often called select fill or screened fill-dirt) with low organic content to build up grade under a driveway. Fill-dirt is good for raising or filling low spots but is not a long-term driving surface; plan to top it with crushed stone or 3/4u0022 aggregate for durability and drainage. Ask for regional fill that matches West Missouri soil conditions when ordering.

A 20x30 area raised 6 inches equals about 11.1 cubic yards of material. Fill-dirt in this region typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so you would need roughly 13 to 16 tons. Order 10-20% extra to allow for compaction and grading, and remember our 3-ton minimum order.

Fill-dirt can compact on clay soils, but Missouri clay holds moisture and can be stubborn to compact properly. For best results, place fill in 6- to 8-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller; for larger jobs hire a compaction contractor. Consider adding drainage or geotextile if you have chronic poor draining spots.

If used as the top driving surface, fill-dirt will rut and wash faster than stone; under light farm traffic you can expect needing touch-ups or replenishment roughly every 1 to 3 years depending on weather and use. For longer life, cover the fill with a wearing course of crushed stone or gravel to reduce maintenance. Regular grading after wet seasons also extends service life.

Crushed stone or gravel with fines is usually a better long-term solution for sealing low spots because it sheds water and packs into a durable surface. Fill-dirt is fine for raising a low spot before you install stone, but as a finished driving surface it will deteriorate faster and hold moisture. For a lasting repair, raise with screened fill if needed, then finish with crushed rock.

Local building and county rules can restrict the type of backfill or compaction requirements for foundations and drainage work. Before using fill-dirt for structural backfill or grading tied to permits, check with Foley city offices or the county building department to confirm allowable materials and compaction specs. When in doubt, consult your engineer or local inspector.
