A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose (roughly 12 to 15 tons depending on moisture and soil type). Smaller loads may be available from local haulers but can raise the per-yard delivery price; our checkout shows delivery fees for your address so you can compare load sizes and total cost.

For driveway surfaces, crushed gravel (with a compacted aggregate base) is the right long-term choice—fill-dirt is inexpensive but not suitable as a finished driving surface. Using fill-dirt to raise grade before adding a proper gravel base can save on hauling, but the durable surface and drainage benefits of crushed stone usually make gravel the better investment.

You should not use fill-dirt as the top driving layer. In the Montclaire South area where clay and poor drainage are common, prepare the subgrade, use geotextile where needed, add and compact a structural aggregate base, and then place your surface rock—fill-dirt is for grade build-up and backfill and must be compacted in lifts if used.

Assuming a 20 ft by 10 ft area and you need 6 inches of fill-dirt to raise the grade, you’d need about 3.7 cubic yards of fill-dirt. At roughly $10 to $30 per cubic yard delivered, budget about $40 to $115 for the fill-dirt plus any delivery fee or minimums; remember you’ll still need compacted aggregate and surface rock for a finished driveway, which adds to cost.

Big-box stores typically sell bagged soil and limited bulk topsoil but not large quantities of construction-grade fill-dirt delivered by dump truck. For volume jobs in Montclaire South it’s usually cheaper and easier to order bulk fill-dirt from local suppliers through Hello Gravel—we handle delivery logistics and connect you to haulers who manage offloads.

Contractors favor clean, low-organic fill that compacts well—typically a sandy-clay or crushed-stone select fill rather than topsoil. Because this region has sticky clay in places, many pros ask for compactable material with limited organic matter and proper grading so it settles predictably and compacts in layers.

Recycled materials such as crushed concrete or reclaimed aggregate are sometimes available locally and can be a lower-cost option for structural fill or base layers. They work well for road base and subgrade when compacted, but you should confirm local acceptance, contaminants, and compaction specs before using them for backfill near foundations or gardens.

Topsoil is a separate material from fill-dirt and is used to finish and seed lawns; expect additional cost if you need topsoil after filling.
