Fill Dirt in North Gouverneur, NY

Fill dirt is generally less expensive per ton than gravel because it is unprocessed soil used to raise grades or fill holes, while gravel is crushed stone that requires processing. That said, final cost depends on delivery distance, site access, and moisture content. For projects in North Gouverneur, get a local quote—Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will show delivery costs and timing at checkout.

Fill dirt is mostly soil and fines used to raise ground level or fill voids and it compacts well but drains poorly; gravel is crushed stone used for drainage, driveways, and structural bases. In North Gouverneur's cold climate, contractors often use compacted fill dirt to build grade and then a crushed-stone layer for drainage and frost resistance. Choose fill dirt for bulk raising and grading, and gravel where drainage and load-bearing are needed.

Calculate by area times desired depth: 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches deep equals about 18.5 cubic yards. Because fill dirt weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture, that depth typically equals about 22 to 28 tons. Order 5-10% extra to allow for settlement and compaction, and use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact us for an exact estimate for your North Gouverneur site.

Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and site access, so there is no single local fixed price. For an accurate delivered price in North Gouverneur, check availability on our site or request a quote—remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees can affect the per-ton cost. We provide transparent pricing and can confirm any site-specific fees before you order.

Example calculation: for a driveway 20 ft long by 10 ft wide with a 6-inch base, you need about 3.7 cubic yards of material. At roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard, that equals about 4.5 to 6 tons; increase the amount for deeper bases, poor soils, or compaction needs. Use our online calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a tailored estimate and delivery scheduling in North Gouverneur.

You can lay gravel directly on dirt for a temporary surface, but in North Gouverneur's freeze-thaw conditions this often leads to rutting, poor drainage, and frost heave. For a long-lasting surface, first build and compact a proper fill-dirt subgrade, then install a compacted crushed-stone base before topping with gravel. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to assess placement, but note spreading is at the driver's discretion.

Tri-axle dump trucks commonly used by Hello Gravel carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which can translate to roughly 12 to 20 tons depending on moisture and soil type. Suppliers may price by the cubic yard or by the ton; delivery fees depend on distance, access, and truck size. Use our site to see per-order pricing and to schedule delivery to your North Gouverneur address.

Yes. North Gouverneur sees cold winters and freeze-thaw cycles, so a well-compacted fill-dirt subgrade helps reduce frost heave and settling. Combine compacted fill dirt with proper drainage or a crushed-stone layer where frost or standing water is a concern. Contact Hello Gravel for local material recommendations and delivery options.
