Fill Dirt in Damascus, OR

Prices vary with local supply, haul distance, and season, but fill-dirt in West Oregon typically runs in the range of $15 to $45 per ton delivered. For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft area 4 inches (about 15 tons) would commonly cost about $225 to $675 for material plus any delivery fees; Hello Gravel shows exact quotes when you enter your zip code. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may offer free delivery or next-day delivery options depending on availability.

On steep, clay-heavy slopes choose a free-draining, granular select fill rather than raw clayey subsoil; look for screened fill or a blend with sand and small gravel to improve drainage and stability. Combine the material with proper compaction, slope benches or terraces, and geotextile or retaining features as needed to reduce slumping in West Oregon's wet winters.

Volume = 1,000 sq ft x (4/12 ft) = 333.3 cu ft, which is about 12.35 cubic yards. At roughly 1.2 tons per cubic yard for loose fill-dirt, you would need about 15 tons. Order 10-20% extra to allow for compaction, grading, and waste—so plan for about 17 to 18 tons to be safe.

Loose fill-dirt alone does not resist concentrated runoff well and can erode or settle in heavy rain common to the area. Longevity requires good compaction, surface protection (mulch, vegetation, rock), and drainage controls such as swales or pipes to divert runoff. For exposed slopes consider adding rockier or engineered fill and erosion-control measures before the rainy season.

Yes—compaction in 4 to 6 inch lifts with a plate or roller is important for driveway bases to reduce settlement and improve load capacity. Suppliers and truck deliveries almost always drop loose material; pre-compacted delivery is uncommon, so plan to compact onsite after each lift. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading or compaction services.

For patching low spots, crushed rock or angular gravel is generally better because it drains and locks together under traffic, reducing rutting. Fill-dirt is useful when you only need to raise grade or match surrounding soil for planting, but it will settle and can get muddy in rainy conditions—use crushed rock for drive surfaces and fill-dirt for landscaping fill behind it.

Permit requirements vary by project and jurisdiction; Damascus is in Clackamas County and rules depend on whether the work changes drainage, affects wetlands or streams, or involves grading above a local threshold. Small deliveries for private yard fill often do not need a permit, but for larger grading, fill near waterways, or work that alters site drainage you should check Clackamas County planning and any HOA rules before ordering.

With proper compaction and drainage a well-built fill-dirt base used by light trucks can last several years—commonly 5 to 10 years—before significant regrading is needed. Without good compaction, base aggregate, and slope control, you may see rutting and settlement within 1 to 3 years in West Oregon's wet climate. Regular maintenance like adding a thin layer of angular gravel and addressing drainage will extend the life.

Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers serving the Damascus area and can show same-week availability and bulk pricing when you enter your zip code. Same-week delivery is often possible in West Oregon but depends on supplier inventory and truck schedules; bulk discounts are common for larger orders, so request a quote through Hello Gravel to compare rates and delivery windows.

Yes—fill-dirt can be used to build berms and regrade slopes for erosion control, but success depends on material selection, compaction, and drainage design. In rainy West Oregon, use well-graded or granular fill for stability, reinforce slopes with vegetation, terraces, geotextile, or rock, and plan drainage to prevent concentrated flows that could wash out the berm.
