Fill Dirt in Madras Station, OR

Fill-dirt is bulk soil used to raise or level ground, backfill trenches, or build up low spots. In Madras Station it is typically locally sourced, so texture and color will reflect regional soils; it is not engineered for structural support or drainage unless specified. Use it for grading and landscaping rather than as the structural base under foundations or heavy-driveway traffic.

Typical delivered prices for fill-dirt in the Madras Station area usually run about $8 to $25 per ton (roughly $10 to $30 per cubic yard), depending on distance, volume, moisture, and supplier. Minimum orders and fees apply; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may charge extra for next-day delivery or difficult access.

A quick rule: 100 square feet of coverage requires about 0.62 cubic yards for 2", 1.23 cubic yards for 4", and 1.85 cubic yards for 6". Using an approximate weight of 1.2 tons per cubic yard, that equals about 0.74 tons, 1.48 tons, and 2.22 tons per 100 square feet for 2", 4", and 6" depths respectively.

Fill-dirt is fine for raising grades and basic landscaping but is not recommended as a finished structural base for driveways or foundation pads. For driveways and load-bearing areas in Madras Station's climate, a compacted crushed-rock or engineered base is usually better because it drains and carries load more reliably.

For a structural driveway base choose crushed rock or an engineered aggregate (commonly 3/4" minus or similar) that compacts and drains well. For general fill use well-graded fill-dirt free of large organic material; if you need load-bearing performance, ask for granular engineered fill rather than plain fill-dirt.

Compact fill in thin lifts (typically 4 to 6 inches) using a plate compactor for small jobs or a vibratory roller for larger areas, and aim for a firm, uniform surface. In Madras Station's freeze-thaw conditions good compaction and proper drainage are critical; consult a geotech for structural work, and avoid placing wet, organic, or highly compressible soils without treatment.

Yes, loose fill-dirt commonly settles after placement, especially in the first year or after wet seasons. Typical settlement varies with material and compaction level; well-compacted, clean fill may settle only a few percent, while loose or organic fill can settle much more, so plan for finishing grade and additional topping if needed.

Permit needs depend on the scope and location of work; small landscaping fills typically do not require permits, but large fills, grading changes, or work near waterways and septic systems often do. Check the City of Madras and Jefferson County building and planning departments before ordering large volumes or changing site grade, and note any haul/road permits that might be needed for big deliveries.

Common extra charges include fuel surcharges, next-day delivery fees, long or difficult carry fees, and optional spreading or equipment charges. Tailgate spreading may be requested at checkout but is performed at the driver's discretion; contractors may charge hourly for spreading or additional site prep.

Yes. Peak landscaping season in spring and summer can increase lead times, while wet winter months may slow deliveries or limit where trucks can safely dump.
