Fill Dirt in St. Egenevieve, MO

Fill dirt is generally cheaper per ton than crushed gravel because it is unprocessed soil used to raise grade, while gravel is quarried and sized for drainage and structure. Local pricing in West Missouri varies by supplier and delivery distance, so contact Hello Gravel for a specific quote and to compare total delivered costs for your job.

Fill dirt is mostly soil (sand, silt, and clay) used to raise ground level; gravel is crushed rock used for drainage and stable surfaces. Use fill dirt to build up low areas or change grade, and use gravel where you need drainage or a durable surface like driveways and pads.

Prices vary by local supplier and delivery, but in West Missouri you can expect a wide range depending on material quality and haul distance. For an accurate, up-to-date price and the impact of minimum orders (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), request a quote through our site or call our team.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.35 cubic yards (1,000 * 4/12 ÷ 27). In weight that is roughly 15–17 tons depending on soil density; order a little extra to account for compaction and spreading loss and ask Hello Gravel to calculate based on local material density.

You need to know the width and target depth. For example, a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 6 inches deep requires about 3.7 cubic yards, which is roughly 4.5–5.5 tons depending on soil type. If you want a different width or depth, use the area times depth formula and convert cubic feet to cubic yards (divide by 27), or ask us to calculate it for you.

You can put gravel over compacted, well-draining soil, but many properties need fill dirt to raise low spots or create a proper slope first. If the soil is soft, organic, or wet (common near the Mississippi floodplain), place and compact clean fill dirt in lifts before adding a gravel base to avoid future settling and rutting.

Typical tri-axle dump trucks used for residential deliveries carry about 10–12 cubic yards of material (roughly 13–16 tons of fill dirt), while larger end-dump trucks can carry 20+ cubic yards. Hello Gravel coordinates with local haulers and will confirm truck size and access when you place your order.

Ste. Egenevieve is known for its historic district, and certain grading or large fills near historic properties may trigger local permitting or review by preservation authorities. Before major grading or fill projects, check with the City of Ste. Egenevieve building department and county offices to confirm permit requirements and any restrictions.

Yes, fill dirt will settle, especially if placed in large lifts or over organic soils common near river valleys. Reduce settlement by removing organic material, placing fill in thin lifts (6–8 inches) and mechanically compacting each lift, or by working with a local contractor to compact and test as you fill.

Measure the area (length × width) and decide the depth you want to add in feet, then multiply to get cubic feet (area × depth) and divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Add 10–20% extra for compaction and waste, and convert cubic yards to tons using a regional factor (roughly 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard) or ask Hello Gravel to calculate it for you.

Yes, regional fill-dirt mixes in West Missouri often include clay and small rocks because material is locally sourced and reflects local geology. If you need clean, rock-free, or particular texture (for planting or structural backfill), note that in Order Notes and request a supplier match when ordering.

Provide a clear drop location with good truck access, tell us about narrow roads, low-hanging wires, soft spots, or HOA restrictions, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider spreading.
