Fill Dirt in chattahoocheehills, GA

Fill dirt is native soil with few organic materials used to raise or level ground, build pads, and fill holes. In Chattahoochee Hills and West Georgia it often contains clay and local red soils that compact well but retain moisture; it’s commonly used to build up yards, raise driveways, and backfill foundations. For landscaping you’ll typically cap fill dirt with topsoil before planting.

Fill dirt is mostly soil and fine particles designed to be compacted, while gravel is crushed stone used for drainage and structural stability. Use fill dirt to change grade or raise land, and gravel where you need permeability, traction, or a stable surface for driveways and patios.

Generally yes — basic fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than decorative gravel because it is less processed. Prices vary with quality, delivery distance, and whether you need clean or engineered fill, so get a local quote through Hello Gravel to see current rates for Chattahoochee Hills.

Delivered fill dirt in Chattahoochee Hills typically ranges from about $12 to $35 per cubic yard (rough estimate), or roughly $10 to $28 per ton depending on moisture, clay content, and haul distance. Exact pricing depends on the supplier, truck size, and your zip code — request a quote on Hello Gravel for an accurate local price.

A common tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and soil density). Larger end-dump trucks can carry 14 to 16 cubic yards; tell us your access constraints and we’ll match the right truck.

First calculate the area (length x width) and convert desired depth to feet (for example 2 inches = 0.167 ft). Multiply area by depth to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards of fill dirt.

It depends. Small pickups usually carry about 0.5 cubic yard when piled safely, while full-size pickups can sometimes carry 0.75 to 1.0 cubic yard if the bed is loaded carefully. For larger orders Hello Gravel delivers by dump truck — and keep in mind weight limits for your vehicle.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet — roughly a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft pile. On your driveway a single yard typically makes a compact mound about 3 feet across and 1–2 feet high depending on how the truck dumps it.

It varies with wheelbarrow size, but a standard contractor wheelbarrow (about 3 to 6 cubic feet) means one cubic yard is roughly 5 to 9 wheelbarrow loads. Expect more trips with a small homeowner wheelbarrow and fewer with a larger contractor model.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to level low spots, but proper compaction in layers is important in West Georgia’s clay soils to avoid future settling. For lawns or plantings, finish with several inches of topsoil so grass and plants have organic material for growth.

You can place gravel over compacted fill dirt, but for a long-lasting surface you should compact the fill, consider a geotextile fabric, and add a suitable base layer before the gravel. If drainage is a concern in Chattahoochee Hills’ clay soils, creating a granular base and good slope is especially important.

Coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb, one ton of compacted fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards and will cover about 200 to 300 square feet at 1 inch depth (less area at greater thickness). Use the cubic yard calculation for precise planning.

Costs depend on load size, distance, and site access; a tri-axle load of fill dirt delivered in West Georgia often falls within the mid-range price per cubic yard multiplied by the truck’s capacity. For an exact delivered price to your Chattahoochee Hills address, use Hello Gravel to get a local quote and scheduled delivery options.

For small landscaping fills you typically don’t need engineered fill, but for building pads, structural fills, or where local code requires compaction testing, engineered fill and permits may be required. Check Chattahoochee Hills building department or consult your contractor, and discuss engineered material options with Hello Gravel if needed.
