FAQs About Fill Dirt in St. Louis
In our experience, St. Louis soils often include silty loam, clay loam, and alluvial deposits near the river valley. These soils can be heavy and compact easily, but amending with compost or sandy fill dirt helps improve drainage and texture for lawns, gardens, or grading.
We typically see fill dirt delivered for about $25–$32 per cubic yard. Premium screened topsoil or garden mix runs roughly $45–$60 per yard, depending on quality and delivery distance. Prices vary with truck access, load size, and material type.
Many landscape supply yards and garden centers in St. Louis offer bulk fill dirt, screened topsoil, compost-enriched blends, and mulch. Deliveries typically come via 10–15 cubic yard dump trucks. Delivery fees depend on site access, logistics, and load size.
Yes, any major earthmoving—including land grading, excavation, or large-volume fill—usually requires a permit from St. Louis City or County building departments. Small landscaping projects involving limited dirt are generally exempt, but it’s wise to confirm with local officials.
We often test soil via county extension or private labs to assess pH, nutrient content, and texture. Local suppliers stock compost, peat, topsoil blends, and gypsum or sand mixes—great for amending native soil or fill dirt before planting or construction.
Clean fill dirt is typically acceptable for reuse in backfilling, leveling, and grading projects. However, excavated soil from demolition or unknown sources should be tested. Contaminated or debris-filled dirt must go to licensed landfills or recycling centers—dumping on residential sites is not permitted.
Yes—as a city service, the Public Works or Solid Waste Management Department occasionally offers free screened compost or clean fill. Pickup often requires registration or an appointment. Inspect material quality before hauling and bring appropriate containers.
Before dirt delivery, we recommend clearing vegetation, debris, and roots from the area, staking or marking delivery boundaries, and confirming truck access. Pre-leveling the site and setting slope grades helps ensure even spread and reduces spreading labor costs once material arrives.
