What Dale Brothers Demolition and Excavating Contractor supplies

Excavating outfits frequently sell and haul fill dirt, topsoil and aggregate alongside their site work. For larger volumes they are often cheaper than a retail yard because they are already running trucks.

Clean fill, structural fill and screened topsoil are distinct products at very different prices. Be explicit about which you need, and whether the material must be certified clean for your jurisdiction.

Aggregate yards carry crushed stone, pea gravel, road base, mason sand, concrete sand and structural fill. Material is graded by particle size, and the correct grade depends entirely on whether you are building a compacted base, a drainage layer or a walking surface.

Because Dale Brothers Demolition and Excavating Contractor carries several material lines, it is often possible to combine an order across products — soil, mulch and stone on one truck — rather than paying separate delivery charges to two or three different yards.

How much material you need

Fill and excavation services is sold by the load. Contractors usually quote material and haulage together by the load, so per-load pricing is the number to compare.

As a rough guide: 1 tandem load covers about 10–12 yards; 1 tri-axle load covers about 14–16 yards; 1 pickup covers about 1 yard.

Order slightly over rather than under. Coming up short means a second delivery charge, which almost always costs more than the extra material would have.

Ordering and delivery

Delivery pricing usually keys off distance from the yard, so confirm both the charge to your address and any minimum load before comparing quotes.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Pricing for bulk material is rarely published in full, since it moves with stock and season. The business website may list current products, but a phone call will get you a firm delivered number faster.
