Fill Dirt in Mustang, OK

Fill-dirt is soil used to raise or level ground and typically contains a mix of clay, silt, and sand with minimal organic material. In Mustang, OK, use fill-dirt for grading, building up yard areas, creating level pads, and behind retaining walls, but avoid using plain fill-dirt as the finished driving surface because it can rut and settle.

Prices vary by supplier, moisture content, and distance, so we provide estimates rather than exact current rates. Expect local delivered ranges and contact Hello Gravel for a live quote; our platform shows supplier pricing for your zip code and reflects regional availability in West Oklahoma.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, and many local suppliers follow similar minimums for dump-truck deliveries. Standard delivery is usually 2+ business days with optional next-day delivery before noon CST for an extra fee; flat delivery fees or per-ton hauls depend on distance from the quarry and access to your site.

Screened fill-dirt has most large debris and roots removed and is better for final grading, topsoil blending, and near finished landscaping; it usually costs a bit more. Unscreened fill-dirt is fine for bulk mass fill or rough grading where small roots and rock fragments are acceptable, but it can cause settling and will need more compaction and time to settle.

Fill-dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and compaction; a good rule of thumb is 1.3 tons per cubic yard. A 20x10 ft area at 6 inches is about 3.7 cubic yards, which is roughly 4.8 to 5.0 tons, so a minimum Hello Gravel order of 3 tons would require two deliveries for that example.

For residential driveways or building pads, use select fill or engineered fill whenever possible; it should be free of organics, well-graded, and placed in lifts no thicker than 6 to 8 inches with mechanical compaction. Aim for at least 90% to 95% Standard Proctor compaction for driveways and 95% or higher for structural building pads, and consider a granular base layer (crusher-run or road base) on top of compacted fill for driveways.

Mustang’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and hot, sometimes dry summers can cause clay-rich fill to heave when frozen and shrink or crack in summer, which increases settlement risk. To reduce problems, use low-organic, properly compacted fill, control moisture during placement, provide good surface and subsurface drainage, and avoid high-clay fill in critical load-bearing areas.

Remove vegetation and organic topsoil, proof-roll the existing subgrade, place fill in 6-8 inch lifts, and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to the specified density. Add proper drainage, slope the grade away from foundations, and consider geotextile fabric or rock underlay in wet spots to stabilize the subgrade against heavy Oklahoma rains.

Yes, check Mustang municipal codes and your HOA rules before major grading or driveway projects because some areas require permits for grading, retaining walls, or changes to stormwater flow. If you plan structural fills under foundations, a building permit and engineered fill recommendations may be required by the city or by your lender.

Fill-dirt is inexpensive for raising grade and general landscaping but is not durable as a finished driveway surface and will need frequent maintenance. Crusher-run and road base compacted properly provide better drainage, load-bearing capacity, and longer lifespan for driveways in Mustang’s climate, meaning less regrading and fewer potholes over time.

Lead times depend on supplier stock and trucking availability; many local providers can deliver standard unscreened fill in 2 to 7 business days, while screened or specially processed fill may add a few days. Use Hello Gravel’s checkout to see real-time lead times and next-day options for orders placed before noon CST when available.

Contractor markups on materials and hauling commonly range from about 10% to 30% depending on the job scope and logistics, so it can be cost-effective for homeowners to buy fill-dirt direct if comfortable coordinating delivery and compaction. Hello Gravel simplifies that process by connecting you with local suppliers and haulers and showing transparent pricing and delivery options, while hiring a contractor can save time and ensure compaction and grading are handled professionally.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
