What Dan's Hauling & Demo Inc 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.

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.

Have length, width and target depth ready when you phone. Yard staff convert those into loads far more reliably than a generic online calculator, and they know how their own material settles.

Ordering and delivery

Ask about delivery minimums and trip charges up front — for smaller orders these often matter more to the final bill than the headline per-load price.

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.

Ratings and reputation

Of the 3 reviews on file, 2 are five-star (67%) and 0 are four-star. 1 review sits at one or two stars, and those are worth reading directly — complaints at material yards usually concern delivery timing or short loads rather than the product itself.

Among the suppliers we list across New York, this rating places Dan's Hauling & Demo Inc in the top 89%.

Across the 26 suppliers we list in Albany, the average rating is 4.5.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 3.7 drawn from 3 reviews rests on a small sample, so weigh it accordingly.

Best time to buy in New York

In New York, the buying window is compressed. Yards get busiest from the first thaw through early June, and again briefly in autumn. Ordering fill and excavation services in early spring often means waiting in a queue and paying peak rates, so booking delivery before the rush — or in late autumn for spring work — usually gets both a better price and a firmer delivery date. Many yards in colder states reduce hours or close outright through deep winter, so confirm seasonal availability before planning a January or February project.
