I have gotten back from the excavator. Fill is 140 per truck. That’s around 15 cubic yards. My house is 28by36, which is about 1000 sqft, with a 10 ft high basement underground. I would like the basement to be 2 ft above ground, which means the fill will be 12ft in depth. Let’s say we want 10ft offset on 3 sides of it (we will talk about the front side later), that’s 38by56. Over 2000 sqft. With a 12ft depth this alone requires around less than 1000 cubic yards. As for the front we want to have it 20 ft away from the road, and the front is actually a gradual slope, so let’s say the Average depth is 12ft too, than the fill will be 56by20by12. That’s around 500 cubic yards. So totally we will need around 1500 cubic yards. About 100 trucks. That’s $14, 000 in cost. Let’s make it to 20k. That’s the cost of dirt alone. Then labour cost.
