Fill Dirt in Happy Valley, OR

Fill-dirt is typically less expensive per ton than crushed gravel because it is usually unprocessed subsoil rather than quarried rock. Prices vary by supplier and moisture content, and delivery can affect cost; Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows upfront delivered pricing when you get a quote for Happy Valley.

Fill-dirt is mainly fine subsoil and small rock used to raise or level ground, while gravel is a processed aggregate of larger, angular stones used for drainage and load-bearing surfaces. In Happy Valley, fill-dirt is commonly used to build up yards and grade around foundations, whereas gravel is chosen for driveways and paths where drainage and compaction matter.

Deliveries are made by dump truck (typically tri-axle) with a 3-ton minimum, and you can schedule standard or next-day delivery if available.

To estimate volume, 1 inch of fill over 1,000 sq ft equals about 3.09 cubic yards; so 2 inches is about 6.17 cy, 3 inches about 9.26 cy, 6 inches about 18.52 cy. Convert to tons roughly by multiplying cubic yards by ~1.2 (soil varies), or use Hello Gravel's online calculator for a tailored tonnage and delivered quote for Happy Valley.

You can place gravel over fill-dirt, but proper preparation is important: compact the fill in layers, remove organic topsoil, and consider a geotextile fabric and a compacted stone base to prevent settling. In rainy West Oregon, proper drainage and compaction are especially important to avoid rutting and washout.

Yes, fill-dirt is commonly used to level low spots, but you should place it in lifts (small layers) and compact each lift to prevent future settlement. Also check Happy Valley building and grading rules before changing lot elevations, since altering drainage can affect neighbors and may require permits.
