Fill Dirt in Harrisville, UT

Typical delivered prices for fill-dirt in the Harrisville/West Utah area run roughly $12 to $35 per ton, depending on whether the material is screened and how far it must be hauled. Hello Gravel shows transparent pricing at checkout and many areas have free or low-cost delivery; next-day delivery and tailgate spreading may add fees. Minimum orders are usually 3 tons.

Homeowners in Harrisville use fill-dirt for grading low spots in yards, raising lawn or garden beds, leveling under sheds or patios, and filling trenches or utility corridors. It is best for non-structural fill where good compaction is needed but engineered structural fill is not required.

Harrisville sees seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and generally low annual precipitation, so poor drainage or organic-rich fill can heave or settle more over time. Use clean, compactable fill-dirt, ensure positive drainage away from foundations, and compact in lifts to reduce future movement.

A good rule of thumb: 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet and fill-dirt typically weighs about 1.2 tons per cubic yard when compacted. Example estimates: to raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards (≈11 tons); raising the same area by 6 inches is ≈18–22 tons. For small building pads, a 100 sq ft area raised 12 inches is about 3.7 cubic yards (≈4.5 tons). Adjust for compaction loss and order a little extra (5-10%).

Screened or clean fill-dirt has most rocks, roots, and debris removed and is more uniform, making it easier to compact and finish; it costs more. Standard fill-dirt may include small rocks and organic material and is fine for rough grading but not recommended under structures or where finish surface quality matters.

For simple yard grading or landscaping in Harrisville you typically do not need a permit, but building pads, foundation fills, and structural work often require permits and may need compaction testing or engineered fill per Weber County/Harrisville building rules. Always check with the Harrisville City Building Department or Weber County before placing large fills under structures or near property lines.

Choose fill-dirt for general grading and non-structural fills where affordable, compactable soil is acceptable. Use clean fill when you need fewer organics and better compaction, 3/4u0022 base rock for driveways and drainage where load-bearing and drainage are required, and engineered fill (specified soils and compaction tests) for foundations, retaining walls, or other structural applications.

Contractor pricing varies, but expect labor and equipment for spreading and grading to run roughly $50 to $150 per hour for a skid steer or small crew, plus compacting equipment rental or contractor charges that can add $200 to $800 depending on project size. Some contractors price spreading/compaction per cubic yard or as a flat job rate; get multiple quotes and confirm whether Hello Gravel delivery includes tailgate spread (driver discretion) or if you need a separate contractor.

Measure the area in square feet, decide the desired depth in inches, then use this formula: cubic yards = (area ft2 * depth ft) / 27. Multiply cubic yards by ~1.2 to estimate tons for compacted fill-dirt, then add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste.

Yes. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, color and texture will reflect local geology in West Utah; materials may contain small caliche or gravel depending on the supplier. Also plan deliveries around seasonal ground conditions, verify access for dump trucks on narrow or steep lots, and check local permit rules if you are working near utilities or building foundations.
