Fill Dirt in Kingston, OH

Expect a delivered 10–14 yard truckload of fill dirt in Kingston to run roughly $200 to $500. Price depends on local supplier source, truck travel distance, and whether material is clean fill or contains more clay; request a quote for an exact number.

Typical delivered prices in West Ohio are about $12 to $35 per ton or $15 to $45 per cubic yard, depending on moisture, screening, and delivery distance. These are estimates—use our quote tool or call our team for an up-to-date price for Kingston.

Measure the area (length x width) and the depth you want to add (in inches). Use the formula: cubic yards = (length x width x depth inches / 12) / 27. For example, a 50' x 30' backyard raised 2 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly 11.2 tons) of fill dirt.

A standard light-duty pickup may fit about 1 to 2 cubic yards but payload (how much weight it can safely carry) varies by model; 1 ton may exceed many light pickups' safe payload. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and we deliver by dump truck; for single-ton quantities consider buying bags locally or checking with suppliers who offer small-load pickup options.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival. There's no guarantee of spreading; when available, costs commonly range from about $50 to $200 depending on scope, but ask for a firm quote for Kingston before scheduling.

For a driveway surface, gravel is the right material because it drains and supports traffic; fill dirt is used to build or raise the subgrade before adding a gravel base. Using only fill dirt as the surface is not recommended; the most cost-effective approach is to use fill dirt to bring the grade up where needed, compact it, then add a proper gravel base and surface.

For most Kingston projects, dump truck delivery is the most cost-effective for moderate to large volumes (u003e=3 tons) because it minimizes handling. Pickup can work for very small jobs but often requires multiple trips; contractors add labor and uptime expenses but are best if you need grading and compaction included—compare quotes for material plus delivery versus contractor all-in pricing.

Late spring through early fall is generally best in West Ohio because soils are easier to work and dry, reducing hauling delays and excessive settling. Avoid placing large fills on frozen or very wet ground (late winter and early spring) because freeze-thaw and high moisture can increase settling and compaction needs.

A geotextile fabric and a compacted crushed-stone base are common underlayments where soil is soft or drainage is needed; the fabric separates soils and improves stability. Hello Gravel can supply geotextile fabric and base materials, but we do not perform installation—contact local contractors for installation or ask our team for supplier recommendations in Kingston.

Costs vary by design, but as an example: a 20' long x 10' wide driveway with a 6u0022 compacted base and 3u0022 surface needs about 5.5 cubic yards of material (roughly 6.5–7.5 tons). Material, delivery, and installer labor in Kingston typically run from around $700 to $1,800 depending on material quality, site access, and contractor rates—get a site-specific quote for an accurate price.
