Fill Dirt in Golden, MO

Delivered fill-dirt prices in West Missouri typically range from about $12 to $22 per cubic yard (roughly $9 to $17 per ton, depending on moisture and compaction). Exact pricing depends on supplier, distance from the pit, and whether the dirt is screened or contains organics; run a zip check on our site or request a quote for a precise local rate.

A common tri-axle dump truck holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards of fill-dirt, so material costs alone will generally fall between $120 and $260 based on typical delivered rates. Total delivered cost to a small Golden property is usually $150 to $400 once delivery fees, staging access, and supplier minimums are included; rural drives or tight access can add to the charge.

Covering 1,000 sq ft requires about 9.3 cubic yards at 3" and about 18.5 cubic yards at 6". Using West Missouri delivered rates of $12 to $22 per cubic yard, expect material costs around $110 to $205 for 3" and $220 to $410 for 6" (tons will vary; roughly 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard).

Fill-dirt is best for raising grade, filling low spots, or building subgrade; it is not a durable wearing surface. For a driveway surface you should use crushed gravel or crushed stone over a properly compacted base; although fill-dirt is usually cheaper per yard, crushed gravel provides longevity and drainage suited for driveways.

Hello Gravel's platform lists a 3-ton minimum order. Standard delivery requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance—many areas qualify for free delivery, but small towns like Golden may incur a modest fee; check availability with your zip code at checkout.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if asked at checkout, but this is not guaranteed. Full spreading and compaction are usually performed by contractors; locally in West Missouri expect contractor rates that vary widely—from a few hundred dollars for a small job (per truck) to $30–$60+ per cubic yard depending on access, slope, and compaction requirements.

Permits are rarely required just for placing fill on private property, but requirements vary: Golden and Lafayette County rules, local road/driveway permits, and HOA covenants can affect what you can place and where. Before major grade changes, check with the City of Golden or Lafayette County and review any HOA rules to avoid drainage or setback issues.

Yes—screened or clean fill-dirt (reduced organics and fewer rocks) is commonly available from West Missouri suppliers and is recommended for finish grading near lawns, patios, and foundations. Expect screened material to cost roughly 10% to 30% more than bulk, unprocessed fill-dirt due to extra processing and handling.

Costs vary a lot based on length and site prep; for a 20 ft wide driveway covering 1,000 sq ft (about 9–19 cubic yards depending on depth), expect a rough installed range of $1,500 to $4,500. This estimate includes base preparation, material, delivery, and basic compaction; poor access, drainage work, or extensive grading will increase the price—get an on-site quote for a precise number.

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.
