Fill Dirt in Washington, GA

Prices vary by supplier and demand, but in West Georgia you can typically expect fill dirt to range from about $10 to $25 per ton (rough estimate). Final price depends on delivery distance, truck type, and whether the material is screened or contains rock; check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact pricing and available local material.

Fill dirt is mostly fine mineral soil with few rocks, used to raise grade or fill low spots and designed to compact well. Gravel is a coarse, granular aggregate used for drainage and load-bearing surfaces, so use fill dirt to build up ground and gravel where you need drainage or a stable driving surface.

A useful rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth, and 1 ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8 cubic yards. That means 1 ton will cover about 60 to 70 sq ft at 4 inches; adjust your quantities if you need shallower or deeper fills.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 12 to 14 cubic yards, which translates to roughly 14 to 18 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. Larger end-dump or tractor-trailer trucks can carry more, so ask Hello Gravel for the truck type if you need exact tonnage for your order.

Cost depends on the truck size and per-ton price; for example, a tri-axle load (about 14-18 tons) at $15 per ton would cost roughly $210 to $270 for the material, plus delivery and any fees.

Generally, plain fill dirt is cheaper per cubic yard than gravel because it is less processed. However, overall project cost depends on how much material you need, delivery, and whether you need the ground to drain or support weight—so cheaper material might not be the right choice for every job.

Yes, you can use fill dirt to raise or level a yard, but it should be placed in thin lifts (generally 4 to 6 inches) and compacted between lifts to avoid future settling. Avoid burying large amounts of organic topsoil; finish with 2 to 4 inches of topsoil if you plan to seed or plant.

The most cost-effective option is to buy bulk from a nearby supplier to reduce haul distance and order at least the Hello Gravel minimum of 3 tons. Sometimes construction projects offer free clean fill locally, but be cautious about contaminants and confirm the soil type before accepting it.

Fill dirt compacts and can reduce drainage compared with loose topsoil; if you raise grade near foundations or low spots, plan for proper slope and drainage outlets. For areas that must drain well, combine fill dirt with graded gravel or install drainage features rather than relying on fill dirt alone.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
