Fill Dirt Delivery Cost Checklist
The average cost of fill dirt nationwide is $23.52 per yard; however, there are a number of factors that may increase (or decrease) this rate. Use the information below to learn more about finding the right dirt delivery service for your project.
1. Geographic location. Where do you need the dirt delivered? Is your home (or business) located in a rural area or a busy city? Material prices may vary significantly based on your geographic location. Curious about the cost in your area? Search our Dirt Delivery Cost Report using your zip code.
2. How much dirt do you need? Fill dirt is typically priced by the cubic yard. Your contractor can help you determine how much to order based on your project. When ordering dirt, make sure to ask if delivery is included in the cost per yard to avoid any surprise fees. The more material you need, the more you can expect to pay.
3. Delivery fees and site accessibility. While local delivery may be included in the cost, deliveries outside of the service’s typical service area will come at an additional cost. The cost of delivery may be impact by the amount of dirt you need and the travel time required to reach the site. Can the delivery truck easily reach the site? Any unforeseen complications may have an impact on the cost.
4. Sloping and grading. The delivery service will haul the dirt to you and dump it where you would like, but they are not responsible for moving it after that. Sloping and grading services will come at an additional cost. If the project requires any special equipment or machinery, these rental fees will also be your responsibility.
5. Are you sure you need fill dirt? Fill dirt is great for filling in holes and re-sloping the landscape, but it’s not ideal for growing a garden. If you are looking to order topsoil instead, don't worry. You can request free estimates for other delivery services too by clicking the button below.
