Fill Dirt in Arcadia, OK

Typical delivered prices for fill-dirt around Arcadia and West Oklahoma usually fall in the range of about $12 to $30 per ton (roughly $15 to $36 per cubic yard), depending on supplier, haul distance, and whether the material is screened or has many fines. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing at checkout based on local suppliers and your zip code, with a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery in 2+ business days. Prices can rise for next-day delivery, long haul distances, or special placement requests.

Local suppliers in the Arcadia area include regional landscape yards, local gravel pits, and farm or aggregate operators serving West Oklahoma; Hello Gravel connects you with those trusted local suppliers and haulers. Many suppliers accept small loads, but Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons; some yards or private pits may have higher minimums (often 5 to 10 tons) for direct pickup or very short hauls.

'Fill-dirt' generally means fine-grained soil used to raise grade, and it can work for non-structural yard fill and grading. For driveway bases and foundation structural fills, contractors in Arcadia prefer compactable granular material (clean crushed rock or engineered fill) rather than loose fill-dirt, because local clay soils hold water and can shrink or swell. For septic backfill, county health departments often require specific granular or sand material—check local septic rules before using fill-dirt for backfill.

Per 1,000 sq ft, volume and weight estimates are: 2" = about 6.17 cubic yards (roughly 7.4 to 8.6 tons), 4" = about 12.35 cubic yards (roughly 14.8 to 17.3 tons), and 6" = about 18.52 cubic yards (roughly 22.2 to 25.9 tons). These ton ranges use a typical compacted fill-dirt density of about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard; always order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and settling.

Install fill in uniform lifts (generally 4 to 6 inches loose) and compact each lift with an appropriate compaction tool (plate compactor for small areas, roller for larger areas) while controlling moisture to near optimum levels. Contractors often aim for 90-95% of Standard Proctor density for structural fills and use geotextile or geogrid on weak subgrades; pay extra attention to drainage and slope away from foundations to reduce freeze-thaw and wetting/drying damage.

Fill-dirt will settle, especially in the first 6 to 12 months, so expect light settling and low spots that need regrading or top-up in that period. For a finished yard, reseeding and spot grading typically happen within the first year; a drive surfaced with proper base materials will need more occasional maintenance (regrading or adding surface material) every 1 to 5 years depending on use and drainage. Good initial compaction and drainage planning reduce long-term maintenance needs.

Fill-dirt is usually the least expensive option per ton and is fine for raising grade or backfilling where fertility and drainage are not concerns, but it compacts and drains poorly compared with granular materials. Crushed limestone or crushed rock is better for driveway bases and structural fills because it drains and compacts well; topsoil is best for planting and lawns; sand or certified granular material is preferable for septic backfill and drainage zones. Choose material based on function: stability/drainage (crushed rock), planting (topsoil), volume fill (fill-dirt).

Typical local contractor labor rates in the Arcadia/West Oklahoma area vary: expect crew or operator rates around $50 to $100 per hour for labor or machine operators, with small equipment (skid steer/bobcat) day rates often $300 to $600. For a small driveway or yard leveling job, total install and compaction charges often range from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on access, site prep, and required compaction; get local quotes and ask whether mobilization or overtime fees apply.

Many local jurisdictions require grading or fill permits for large-volume imports, changes to drainage, or filling in floodplain areas, so check with Arcadia city or the county planning office before placing big orders. Truck weight limits, road permits, or bonding can apply if delivery trucks must use narrow or residential streets; Hello Gravel can help coordinate local haulers but you should confirm local permit needs and any HOA rules before delivery.

On slopes, stabilize new fill with proper compacted lifts, temporary erosion controls (straw, silt fence), and fast vegetation seeding; consider terraces, retaining walls, or geotextile to limit slumping. For flood-prone lots, check FEMA and local floodplain maps, keep fill outside regulated floodways unless permitted, and design grading to move water away from structures; consult a local engineer for steep slopes or significant grading to avoid erosion and downstream drainage issues.

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.
