Fill Dirt in Oklahoma City, OK

For residential deliveries in Oklahoma City, expect roughly $15–$40 per ton (about $12–$30 per cubic yard), depending on source, truck access, and order size. Prices trend lower for full-truck orders and higher for small orders, next-day delivery, or material that has been screened or tested.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, but many local suppliers and haulers prefer full truckloads for best pricing. Deliveries typically arrive on tri-axle dump trucks (commonly 10–15 tons or about 10–12 cubic yards of dirt), and smaller walk-in orders may cost more per ton.

Place fill-dirt in lifts of 4–8 inches and compact each lift before adding the next to reduce future settling. For small homeowner projects use a plate compactor with 4–8 passes per lift; contractors often use a vibratory roller and aim for uniform, stiff fills—test compaction on-site for critical slabs or heavy loads.

OKC's occasional freeze-thaw and heavy spring rains can cause clay-rich fill to retain water, shrink, and swell, which can lead to heaving or settlement if not compacted and graded properly. Plan finished grades to shed water, use well-draining material under pavements, and avoid placing untreated clayey fill where prolonged wetting and drying will occur.

Common alternatives are engineered or select fill, crusher-run, and compacted limestone base for driveways. These options are more expensive—engineered fill or base materials typically run about 1.5–3 times the cost of basic fill-dirt—but they offer much better drainage and load-bearing performance for driveways and structural backfill.

You may need permits if fill-dirt changes lot grading, affects drainage, or is imported in large quantities; the City of Oklahoma City and county planning or stormwater departments regulate grading and erosion control. Check with Oklahoma City's Building and Planning divisions before major grade changes or importing fill, especially in floodplain or sensitive drainage areas.

Typical estimates: a single-car driveway (12' x 40') at 6 inches needs about 9 cubic yards (roughly 11–12 tons); backyard leveling for 20' x 20' at 3 inches needs about 4 cubic yards (4–6 tons); a 10' x 20' trailer pad at 6 inches needs about 3.7 cubic yards (about 5 tons). Always calculate your exact area and depth and add 5–15% for compaction and grading losses.

Yes. Demand rises during spring and summer construction, which can push prices and delivery lead times up, while heavy rain periods can delay deliveries or limit access to sites. Ordering ahead for spring/summer projects and allowing extra lead time during wet weather helps avoid delays and higher costs.

If fill-dirt is left as the final surface expect settling, erosion, and vegetation growth; regrading, adding topsoil, or covering with gravel or turf will be needed periodically. For structural areas under driveways or slabs, properly compacted and capped fill should be stable long-term, but surface drainage and occasional regrading are common maintenance tasks.

Buyers most often worry about contamination (debris or construction waste), high fines or organic content that cause poor compaction, and moisture level at delivery. Ask suppliers about the source, request clean fill without vegetation or large debris, and consider a test or sample for critical projects where contamination or compaction specs matter.
