I use screened loam for my jumps - cost around here for loam is about $18 a yard (+/-) all depending who you go through to get it/how good the quality is/how much you get.

You will need around 20 yards (+/-) of dirt for the landing that you want, less depending on how many logs you have access to.

The small dumps usually can handle 2-3 yards and I would say about $50-$60 for a truck load. I used to deliver top soil and fill sand and for sand it was $55 for a 6 yards but times have changed since then:p
