Why scranton Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Scranton has a city population of 290 and sits within a growing regional market—the metro area population is 2.3+ million with a 2.80% annual growth rate—so even small towns see steady demand for home and infrastructure projects. With about 228 sunny days per year, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and a hardiness zone of 8b, local weather supports both year-round landscaping and seasonally timed construction. Homeowners here often need to regrade yards after heavy rains, fill low spots to prevent standing water, and prepare level bases for sheds, patios, and driveways. For these projects, reliable, low-organic Fill Dirt that compacts well is crucial to prevent settling, improve drainage, and provide a stable base for finished surfaces.Popular Projects in scranton This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - scranton Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in scranton.
A typical tri-axle dump truck load of loose fill dirt in the Scranton area usually runs between $200 and $600, depending on depth and distance. Price depends on whether the material is screened, how far the supplier hauls, site access, and any delivery fees. Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and can show local pricing and delivery options after you enter your zip code.
In Scranton you can order fill dirt through Hello Gravel to connect with nearby suppliers and haulers who serve your area. Because Scranton is a small community, material may be sourced from nearby towns; check availability by entering your zip code on our site or call 855-241-8884 for help. We’ll show local options, prices, and delivery windows.
One cubic yard of basic fill dirt in the Scranton region typically costs about $15 to $45, depending on screening, clay content, and delivery distance. Prices vary with supplier and whether the load is small or part of a bulk order. Always factor in a delivery fee and Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum when calculating small orders.
Use the formula: length x width x depth (in feet) / 27 = cubic yards. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway raised 3 inches (0.25 ft): (20 x 10 x 0.25) / 27 ≈ 1.85 cubic yards, so order about 2.2 to 2.5 cubic yards to allow for compaction and settling. Note that fill dirt is used to adjust grade and should be compacted; you still need a properly graded base and gravel or paving on top for a driveway surface.
No, 2 inches of fill dirt is not enough for a driveway. Fill dirt is intended for grading and subgrade build-up; a driveway base generally needs 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone plus a finished gravel or pavement layer. Use fill dirt to raise or level the site, then add and compact an appropriate base material for long-term performance.
Fill dirt is not the same as topsoil and is generally not recommended for planting. The common 70/30 rule (about 70% topsoil to 30% compost) applies to creating planting soil; fill dirt lacks organic matter and structure. For gardens in Scranton, bring in screened topsoil or mix topsoil and compost rather than relying on fill dirt for plantings.
Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, fill dirt in the Scranton area may contain more clay, sand, or small stones depending on local geology. Expect natural variation in texture and drainage; ask suppliers if the fill is screened, free of roots and debris, and if it contains clay that holds water. For structural projects or landscaping where drainage matters, request material specs or screened fill.
Standard delivery is 2+ business days after order, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Most deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks; make sure your driveway or drop area can handle a heavy truck and that there is room to dump. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform that service at their discretion and it is not guaranteed.
Order screened fill dirt if you need a clean, rock-free material for finished grades near lawns, patios, or planting beds. Regular (unscreened) fill dirt is fine for bulk grade work, under foundations, or where the top layer will be covered. If planting or a visible finish matters in Scranton projects, ask for screened material to avoid large rocks and debris.
First calculate the cubic yards you need, then multiply by the local per-yard price and add delivery and any disposal or spreading fees. Add 10% to 20% extra for compaction, settlement, and waste. Hello Gravel’s checkout shows supplier pricing, delivery windows, and the 3-ton minimum so you can get an accurate, all-in cost for your Scranton project.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
