Why Mountain Home Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mountain Home is a small but growing community with a city population of 1,617 and a steady growth rate of 2.80% annually. The local climate sees 228 sunny days per year and about 34.00 inches of rain annually, placing the area in hardiness zone 8b. That combination of sun and seasonal rain creates steady demand for residential grading, yard leveling, and foundation backfill as homeowners update properties or add new landscaping features. Quality fill material matters here because proper grading and stable subgrade reduce erosion, prevent standing water, and make projects like driveways, patios, and retaining walls last longer. Homeowners and local contractors in Mountain Home often choose engineered fill to speed construction and limit future maintenance in this regional climate.Popular Projects in Mountain Home This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mountain Home Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Mountain Home.
Delivered fill dirt in the Mountain Home area usually falls in a range because of supplier, distance, and material quality. Expect roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard (about $10 to $20 per ton) as a typical ballpark; steeper prices can occur for long hauls or screened/clean fill. For an exact price, check your zip code on Hello Gravel to see local supplier rates and delivery fees.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons through our platform, but many local suppliers and haulers around Mountain Home prefer orders of 5 to 10 cubic yards (roughly one dump truck load) as a practical minimum. Delivery is normally by dump truck (tri-axle for larger loads); choose a delivery date at checkout and you can request tailgate spreading, which drivers may perform at their discretion.
For driveways and yard grading in the Mountain Home area, use clean, low-organic fill dirt or a well-graded granular fill as the subgrade; avoid using high-organic topsoil as structural fill. Compact in 4-6 inch lifts with a plate compactor or vibratory roller to reach good density (contractors commonly aim for 90-95% standard proctor equivalent). Consider a base layer of crushed stone under the surface for driveways to improve drainage and load-bearing.
To estimate: cubic yards = area (sq ft) * depth (in) / 324. Using a typical fill density of about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, here are quick examples for 4 inch and 6 inch fills: 500 sq ft x 4" = 6.17 yd3 (approx 7.4–8.6 tons); 1,000 sq ft x 4" = 12.3 yd3 (14.8–17.2 tons); 2,000 sq ft x 6" = 74 yd3 (88.8–103.6 tons). These are estimates; measure your area and depth and use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team for a precise quantity.
Mountain Home's seasonal freeze-thaw and heavy rain can cause settlement and slow drainage in poorly prepared fill, especially over clay soils. Proper compaction, good drainage detail (swales, subdrains), and using low-organic or granular fill greatly reduce settlement and frost heave risk. For saturated sites or steep slopes, consider permeability improvements and consult a contractor or engineer for larger earthwork.
Use fill dirt as structural subgrade or to build grade but not as a finished surface; it compacts well but can be dusty and may rut under traffic. Crushed stone or a stone-and-sand base is best for driveway bases and surfaces because it drains and carries loads long term. Topsoil is for planting and final landscape surfaces and should not be used for structural fills or underdriveway bases.
Permit and erosion-control rules vary by local jurisdiction and HOA. Mountain Home's small-town setting means some projects — especially driveway rebuilding, large grading, or work near streams — may need county permits, erosion-control measures, or HOA sign-off. Check with your county planning department and any HOA before ordering large quantities or changing drainage patterns.
Contractor pricing depends on job size and equipment; for small residential jobs expect labor and equipment combined to add roughly $30 to $75 per cubic yard, or a few hundred dollars for modest patches. Larger or more complex jobs (grading, machine work, hauling off unsuitable material) can run into the low thousands; ask contractors for onsite estimates and get multiple quotes. Hello Gravel can deliver material to your site so contractors can focus on placement and compaction.
Compacted fill under lawns or pads is stable for years if properly placed and drained, but low spots from settlement or heavy use are common and may need topping or regrading every 1 to 5 years. Driveways and high-traffic areas usually require a more durable base (crushed stone) and occasional replenishing of surface material. Regular inspection after heavy rains and after the first winter will show any settlement that needs attention.
Recycled or screened fill dirt is often available locally and can be a cost-effective option; screened material has fewer roots and organics and compacts more predictably. Pros: lower cost and less settling than unprocessed soil; cons: possible contamination, fines that hold water, or variable composition depending on source. Ask for a material description or sample through Hello Gravel, and avoid high-organic mixes for structural fills.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
