Fill Dirt in Saint Paul, MO

Prices vary by supplier and distance, but in West Missouri delivered fill-dirt for a 10 cubic yard order commonly ranges from about $250 to $600. Final price depends on local supply, moisture content (wet dirt weighs more), delivery distance from the supplier to Saint Paul, and any fees for short‑load or next‑day delivery.

To add 1 inch of fill across 1,000 square feet you need about 31 cubic yards; for 2 inches about 62 cubic yards. Measure the depth you need, convert inches to feet (inches/12), then multiply by area (1,000 sq ft) to get cubic feet and divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards.

Yes, fill-dirt is commonly used as foundation backfill, but it should be placed and compacted in layers to avoid settlement. Hello Gravel manages delivery of fill-dirt in Saint Paul, but we do not guarantee compaction or installation services; request tailgate spreading at checkout and contact our sales team if you need recommendations for local compaction contractors.

We sell fill-dirt in bulk by cubic yard and arrange delivery through local haulers. Standard deliveries are by dump truck; many customers in Saint Paul receive a full truckload (typical trucks in our network carry roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards), but exact truck size and load options depend on local supplier availability.

A single cubic yard may physically fit in a large pickup bed, but weight and payload limits often make it impractical or unsafe. If you plan to pick up fill-dirt with a pickup in Saint Paul, tell us your truck make and payload so we can advise safe load limits or recommend a small dump‑truck delivery instead.

Most standard dump trucks in our network carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt; larger tri-axles can carry up to 14–16 cubic yards. Delivery fees in West Missouri depend on distance and truck type; small local drops may have low or no delivery fee, while long hauls or next‑day requests can add $50–$200 to the order.

You can place fill-dirt over existing soil for small grade changes, but for significant elevation changes or projects needing a stable base you should have the area graded and existing organic material removed. In Saint Paul’s local soils, grading and proper compaction often prevent future settling and drainage issues, so consider hiring a local grader for larger jobs.

Costs vary by scope, but a basic estimate for a 20-foot-wide driveway (length 50 feet as an example) using fill-dirt base plus crushed gravel and compaction can range from $2,000 to $6,000. Final price depends on required excavation, depth of fill, gravel thickness, local contractor rates in West Missouri, and any hauling or disposal of excavated material.

Hello Gravel can deliver fill-dirt suitable for compaction, but we do not perform compaction as a standard service; compaction requires specialized equipment and a trained operator. For installation and compacted base pricing in Saint Paul, contact our sales team for local contractor referrals and estimates based on project size and desired compaction specification.

Fill-dirt alone is not usually the material of choice for dry wells; designers commonly use gravel, sand, or engineered fill to ensure drainage. Hello Gravel supplies the materials (sand, gravel, and fill-dirt) to Saint Paul customers, but placement and specialty installation for dry wells should be handled by a contractor experienced with local drainage conditions.

Sand and gravel typically cost more per cubic yard than basic fill-dirt because they are processed and screened; in West Missouri you might see sand or gravel priced 10–50% higher than unprocessed fill-dirt. Exact differences depend on material type, local availability, and whether the order requires special handling or smaller trucks for delivery to Saint Paul locations.

One cubic yard is a stack about 3 feet long by 3 feet wide by 3 feet high; it will cover 81 square feet at 1 inch deep (or 27 square feet at 3 inches deep). For typical yard leveling in Saint Paul, measure the area and desired depth, then convert to cubic yards (area x depth / 27) or use our online calculator to estimate your needs.

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.
