Fill Dirt in Town And Country, MO

Prices change with season and local supply, but delivered fill dirt in the West Missouri/Town And Country area commonly runs approximately $25 to $50 per cubic yard (about $20 to $45 per ton) as a ballpark. Exact prices depend on the supplier, your zip code, load size, and whether trucking fees apply. Use Hello Gravel’s quote tool or call our sales team to get an accurate delivered price for your address and timeline.

To cover 1,000 sq ft: at 2" you need about 6.17 cubic yards (≈7.4 tons), at 3" about 9.26 cubic yards (≈11.1 tons), and at 4" about 12.35 cubic yards (≈14.8 tons). These estimates use the standard volume conversion and assume 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 tons for fill dirt; local material density can vary, so round up and confirm with your supplier.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt; larger end-dump trucks can carry up to 14–18 cubic yards depending on local equipment. Delivery fees vary with distance, truck type, and job access; customers in Town And Country often see delivery charges in the range of $75 to $250, though Hello Gravel will show accurate delivery fees at checkout based on your zip code and order size.

Yes, buying in bulk usually lowers the per-yard price because suppliers and haulers reduce handling and trip costs for larger loads. You may also save on delivery fees since fewer truck trips are required. Always request a formal quote through Hello Gravel to compare per-yard and total costs for the quantities you need.

Prepare the site by clearing vegetation and debris, identifying a safe, level drop-off area with good truck access, and marking any underground utilities. For larger fills or grading near property lines, check Town And Country building and stormwater rules for permits or erosion controls. Proper grading and drainage planning before delivery help avoid standing water and reduce future settling.

Yes, compaction is recommended for structural uses (driveway subgrades, building pads, terraces) to minimize settling; loose fill left un-compacted will settle over time. Most suppliers and drivers do not include mechanical compaction, though drivers may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion. Plan to rent a plate compactor or hire a local contractor for compaction if your project requires a stable base.

You can place fill over existing turf, but leaving organic topsoil and grass in place increases the risk of long-term settling and uneven surfaces as the organic material decomposes. For best results remove the top vegetation or at least lay a geotextile, place fill in thin lifts, and compact each layer. For smaller landscaping fills this may be acceptable, but for driveways, pads, or structural areas you should remove topsoil and properly compact the subgrade.

Assuming a typical 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway (1,000 sq ft), you would need about 9.3 cubic yards of material for a 3" base and about 12.3 cubic yards for a 4" base. At a rough delivered fill dirt price of $25 to $50 per cubic yard, the delivered fill-dirt portion would be roughly $230 to $615; remember you also need crush-and-run or stone for the wearing surface and compaction costs.

One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 324 sq ft at 1" depth, 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4". Because 1 cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly 1.2 tons, one ton will cover about 270 sq ft at 1", 135 sq ft at 2", 90 sq ft at 3", and 67.5 sq ft at 4". Use these figures to estimate materials for patios, paths, or spot fills, and round up to allow for compaction and waste.

Hello Gravel’s standard lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same-week deliveries for 5–20 yards are commonly possible depending on supplier availability and season, but exact windows and morning/afternoon arrival ranges depend on the local hauler. After you order we’ll confirm the delivery date and the driver typically calls before arrival to coordinate access.

Small residential deliveries usually do not require a permit, but larger fills, grading changes, or work near floodplains, slopes, or streams can trigger Town And Country or St. Louis County permitting and erosion-control requirements. Before major earthwork contact the Town And Country Building Department or Planning/Zoning office to confirm local rules and any required permits. When in doubt, check with the city and our team can help flag potential permit triggers during quoting.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
