Fill Dirt in Staten Island, NY

Yes, fill-dirt is generally cheaper per ton than crushed gravel in Staten Island because it is less processed and often sourced locally. Prices vary by supplier, site access, and how much you order, and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum for delivery, so get a local quote to compare total costs.

Fill-dirt is mostly soil mixed with fines and is used to raise grade or fill voids, while gravel is made of crushed rock or stones and is used for drainage and load-bearing surfaces. For Staten Island projects, use fill-dirt to build up ground and gravel or crushed stone where stability and drainage are required.

A typical tri-axle dump truck holds roughly 10–12 cubic yards of fill-dirt; delivered prices in Staten Island commonly fall in a broad range depending on supplier, distance, and site constraints. Expect to request a Hello Gravel quote for an exact delivered price since factors like driveway access, permits, and weekend delivery can affect cost.

Prices for one ton of fill-dirt in Staten Island vary by supplier and site conditions, often depending on moisture content and whether screening is required. Contact Hello Gravel for current per-ton pricing and remember our minimum order is 3 tons for delivery.

It depends on the depth you need: for 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards, at 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards, and at 12 inches about 37 cubic yards. Add 5–10% extra for settling and compaction and ask Hello Gravel for a delivery size recommendation based on your job site access in Staten Island.

Yes, fill-dirt can be used to bring the area to desired grade before placing a gravel base, but for a durable driveway you should use compacted crushed stone or a structural base directly under the gravel to ensure drainage and load-bearing. Avoid using organic-rich topsoil as fill under driveways, and consider local freeze-thaw and drainage conditions common on Staten Island.

Fill-dirt is commonly used to level low spots or raise grades in backyards, but it should be placed in thin lifts and compacted to avoid future settling. For larger jobs or near property lines and drainage paths, check NYC rules and consider getting a site assessment before ordering materials.

The most cost-effective options are to reuse the dirt on-site for landscaping, offer it free to neighbors or online classifieds, or have Hello Gravel arrange a haul-away if you need professional removal. Avoid illegal dumping; private transfer stations accept soil for a fee and NYC has regulations on where soil can be disposed.

One cubic yard of fill-dirt covers about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth or 54 sq ft at 6 inches depth. A ton of fill-dirt is roughly close to one cubic yard but densities vary, so order by cubic yards when possible and confirm conversions with Hello Gravel for Staten Island deliveries.

Most half-ton pickup beds can carry about 1/2 to 1 cubic yard of loose fill safely, but weight can exceed the truck's payload rating if the dirt is wet or compacted. For larger volumes or to avoid overloading city streets in Staten Island, a tri-axle dump truck delivery through Hello Gravel is usually safer and more efficient.

Small deliveries to private property usually do not need permits, but large grading projects, deliveries that block a street, or work affecting stormwater may require permits from NYC Department of Buildings or the DOT. Check local rules and let Hello Gravel know about any parking or street access issues so we can coordinate with your supplier and hauler.
