Fill dirt for lots, pads and yards in North Las Vegas

With around 294,000 residents and a steady stream of new housing, this is a city where graded lots get reworked often. Fill dirt is the bulk soil behind most of those changes.

• Raising a pad for an RV slab, garage or workshop
• Correcting drainage so water leaves the foundation instead of pooling at it
• Filling over old footings, irrigation lines and dead planting beds
• Building berms and low screening mounds along a property line

It is brown, mixed soil that compacts firmly. It is a fill layer, not a finish surface, so plan for a topping of gravel, pavers, concrete or planting soil depending on the use.

Sizing the order

This material is sold by the ton. A cubic yard of fill runs about 1.1 tons, which is how you turn a volume into an order. Take the area in square feet, multiply by the depth in inches, divide by 324 for cubic yards, then multiply by 1.1. Our calculator handles it if you enter the length, width and depth.

As an example, a lot corner that is 30 feet by 30 feet and needs a 4-inch lift takes about 11 cubic yards, which is roughly 12 tons. Because compacted fill settles, nudge that up by a ton or two. The smallest order is 2 tons, which means even a trench repair or a few low spots can be covered without buying a full pad's worth.

Think about haul distance on the site itself. A truck dumps in one place, and every foot you carry dirt afterward costs labor. On a narrow side yard, a wheelbarrow route past a gate of 36 inches or more keeps the work moving, and a plywood path protects pavers and sprinkler lines. Mark any buried utilities before the load arrives so nobody digs or drives where a line runs.

Large pads often go in two stages. The first load builds the bulk and gets compacted, and a second smaller one tops off the low spots you only see after the surface is raked. That second pass is easy to add without a big commitment, and leftover soil from it fills small ruts and pet holes around the yard.

Prices for your ZIP

Type your ZIP into the product page and the delivered price shows up, already including the trip to your address. A bigger order brings the per-ton rate down, so it helps to total up every area you need to fill before checking out. The page for delivery in North Las Vegas explains how trucks reach homes and job sites in the city.

If the dirt is headed to a lot in Las Vegas, 3 miles from here, or Henderson, 12 miles away, use that city's page instead, since the delivered price follows the ZIP of the drop site.

Placing and building on the fill

Under a driveway or parking area, fill dirt is the sub-base, and the surface above it can be #57 Crushed Stone for a clean, draining top or Asphalt Millings for a firmer packed surface. Neither belongs directly on loose soil, so compact the dirt first and grade it with a slight crown or fall.

Water is the key to a tight finish: lightly dampen each lift, run a plate compactor or hand tamper over it, and repeat. Skipping that step is why many patios and slabs sink within a season.

About Fill Dirt

Fill dirt is an everyday earth material, brown in color, used to bring ground up to level or to take up space behind and under structures. It is a blend of clay, silt and sand, with some small stones, and it is not sorted to a precise size. The point is bulk and stability, not appearance, so the cost stays low compared with processed aggregates.

In North Las Vegas it commonly goes under slabs, behind curbs and block walls, into drainage regrades and into holes left by removed trees or tanks. It compacts well when laid in thin layers and moistened, and it will hold a load once packed. It does not drain like gravel and does not support plants like topsoil, so treat it as the structural base for whichever top layer you choose.

It is sold by the ton, and the delivered price for your ZIP is calculated live on the page. For North Las Vegas fill dirt, bigger orders get a lower rate per ton. Ordering a little over your estimate is wise because the finished fill will lose some height as it settles.

How crews use Fill Dirt in North Las Vegas

In and around North Las Vegas, fill dirt shows up most often on two project types. The most common deployment is erosion control, often in tight urban lots and infill builds in two to three inch lifts. Second on the list is driveway gravel, which we see in dense neighborhoods where curb access is short on partial-truck deliveries. At roughly 294,034 people, the North Las Vegas order mix leans toward 3 to 8 ton residential drops with the occasional 16 ton job for a contractor.

Delivery day in North Las Vegas

A typical North Las Vegas drop is dispatched from the closest yard with a two hour window and a heads-up call once the truck is loaded. Tandem trucks want a 12 ft lane in and out; tri-axles need 14 ft, and both want firm ground at the tipping spot so the load releases cleanly. Standard lead time on this lane is Mon-Sat, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.
