Fill Dirt in Cleveland, OK

Fill-dirt is clean soil used to raise grades, fill low spots, and backfill trenches; it usually contains fines and has few large rocks. In Cleveland and West Oklahoma it is commonly used for raising yard elevations, building level pads for sheds, and filling utility trenches, but it is not intended as a finished driveway surface.

Local delivered prices for fill-dirt in Cleveland commonly fall in the range of about $10 to $25 per ton, depending on local supply, distance, and truck access. Prices vary by supplier and time of year, so use Hello Gravel to get a current quote for your zip code; our minimum order is 3 tons.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and standard delivery is often included or low-cost in many areas, but rural deliveries around Cleveland may incur additional fees of roughly $50 to $150 for long hauls or limited access. Extra charges can apply for small drop locations, tight access that requires smaller trucks, required permits, or requested spreading/placement services.

Cleveland and surrounding West Oklahoma soils often include redbed clay and clay-loam, which can expand when wet and shrink when dry, making compaction and settlement more noticeable. To reduce future movement, place fill-dirt in thin lifts and mechanically compact each layer when possible, and avoid deliveries when the site is very wet because wet clay compacts poorly and may lead to long-term settling.

Convert area and depth to cubic yards first: cubic feet = area (sq ft) x depth (in) / 12; cubic yards = cubic feet / 27. As a rule of thumb, multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard for compacted fill; for example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches is about 12.3 cubic yards and roughly 16 to 19 tons depending on compaction.

Fill-dirt is best for grading, building up low spots, backfilling trenches, and creating non-driving pads. For driveway bases, parking areas, or any surface that must support traffic, crushed rock or ABC is a better choice because it drains and locks together for stability.

Check with the City of Cleveland and Pottawatomie County for any grading, fill, or erosion-control permits, and verify HOA rules if you have one. Also call 811 to locate utilities before you move or compact fill, and confirm road access or hauling restrictions for narrow rural roads or weight limits.

A properly placed and compacted fill-dirt base can remain stable for years, but uncompact fill will settle and may need additional material or regrading. In West Oklahoma, heavy rains, erosion, and seasonal shrink-swell in clay soils can create uneven spots, so expect occasional topping, regrading, or adding a granular cap for driveways.

Fill-dirt is fine-grained and compacts to create mass but does not provide interlocking or drainage like crushed rock or ABC. Crushed rock/ABC contains angular particles that lock together and shed water, so it holds up better under traffic and in wet conditions common after storms in this region.

Local contractors typically offer placement, spreading, mechanical compaction, grading to slope for drainage, and hauling off unsuitable material. Hello Gravel connects you with suppliers and haulers; you can request spreading or placement at checkout but note drivers perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and may not provide full finish grading or compaction.

Clear vegetation and large debris from the intended drop area, mark the exact drop point and any obstacles, and make sure trucks have a firm, level access route. Also locate underground utilities, protect nearby landscaping or hardscapes, and communicate access details in Order Notes to avoid delays or extra fees.

Narrow or blocked driveways, overhead power lines, soft or muddy access, required permits, and the need for smaller trucks or additional labor to place material can all add cost or time. Weather (heavy rain or freeze-thaw) commonly delays deliveries in West Oklahoma because trucks may be unable to safely access or offload material.

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.
