Fill Dirt in Herriman, UT

Prices vary by supplier, load size, and site access, but delivered fill-dirt in the Herriman/West Utah area commonly falls in an approximate range of $15 to $40 per ton (or about $10 to $30 per cubic yard) as a guideline. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and may offer free delivery in many zip codes; additional fees can apply for tight access, same-day/next-day requests, or long haul distances.

For pedestrian driveways and patios, choose a clean, low-organic fill dirt or structural fill that compacts well and won’t settle excessively over time. In Herriman’s dry, cold climate it’s also common to top compacted fill with a layer of crusher run or road base for stability and drainage before installing pavers or concrete. If you plan a decorative surface, ask for screened or geotechnical-grade fill so you start with a stable base.

Use this quick rule: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then convert to tons using a density range of about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard for typical fill dirt. For example, a 1,000 sq ft area requires roughly 1.2 to 1.6 tons per inch of depth, so 4 inches would be about 4.8 to 6.4 tons and 12 inches about 14.4 to 19.2 tons. These are approximations—use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with your exact dimensions for a precise estimate.

Yes—Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers and may be able to suggest haulers or installers in the Herriman area; you can also search local listings for earthwork, grading, or landscaping contractors. When contacting contractors ask about compaction method (mechanical rollers), compaction specifications (percent of standard Proctor if required), lift thickness between compaction passes, and whether they provide grading and drainage work. Get at least two quotes and confirm insurance, references, and a timeline before hiring.

Herriman experiences freeze-thaw cycles that can cause settling and minor heaving if fill is not properly compacted and drained, so proper installation is critical for durability. Use well-graded, low-organic fill placed in thin lifts with mechanical compaction, and provide good surface and subsurface drainage to reduce frost-related movement. Routine maintenance is minimal once compacted and covered with the finished surface, but watch for settling in the first year and add top-up material as needed.

Fill-dirt is fine, soil-based material used mainly to raise grades or fill voids; it does not compact or drain as well as engineered aggregates. Road base or crusher run is a mix of angular rock and fines designed to compact tightly and shed water, making it a better choice as a structural base under driveways, approaches, and steep slopes in Herriman. For many projects the recommended approach is compacted fill-dirt for bulk grade changes, capped with crusher run or road base where strength and long-term performance are required.

Minimum orders start at 3 tons, and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee; availability and fees depend on your Herriman zip code. Drivers typically use tri-axle dump trucks; you can request tailgate spreading at checkout but the driver will decide if it can be done safely. For best results, provide clear delivery notes about access, overhead obstacles, and where to dump, and contact our team if you need to modify an order before dispatch.
