Raising 1,000 square feet by 4 inches requires about 12.3 cubic yards of material (1,000 sq ft x 0.333 ft = 333.3 cu ft = 12.3 cu yd). Using a common conversion of roughly 1.3 tons per cubic yard, that equals about 16 tons of fill dirt. Plan to order 10-15% extra for compaction and settling, so order roughly 18 to 19 tons to be safe.

Fill dirt alone is not the best material for stabilizing driveways on Jasper's clay soils because it can retain moisture and soften, especially during wet springs. For driveways, contractors in this area typically use a compacted stone base (crushed stone or crushed gravel) over a geotextile fabric, with fill dirt only used to bring grade to height where needed. If you plan to use fill dirt under pavement, have it compacted in lifts and pair it with a proper rock base and drainage plan.

Fill dirt tends to hold water more than crushed stone and can become soft or heave in wet springs and during freeze-thaw cycles, particularly on clay-rich sites common around Jasper. It performs acceptably for non-structural uses like raising beds or creating grade when well-drained and compacted, but it is not ideal as the primary structural layer in areas that need strong drainage or load-bearing capacity. For wetter spots, add drainage, use well-graded fill, or switch to aggregate base materials.

Yes, most Jasper-area contractors will compact fill dirt in shallow lifts with plate compactors or drum rollers to meet local county or project specifications, especially for building pads and septic work. Actual compaction requirements depend on the county building code and the intended use, so confirm required compaction rates with your county inspector or engineer. Hello Gravel supplies the material and delivery; compaction and site preparation are typically handled by your contractor.

Cheapest options usually include ordering the minimum number of truckloads that match a tri-axle truck (reduce partial loads), choosing standard delivery (2+ business days), or picking up the material yourself if the supplier allows it. Consolidating orders with neighbors or scheduling deliveries in off-peak times can also lower costs, and larger orders often reduce the per-ton delivered price.

If fill dirt is used as the structural base under a driveway, it is more likely to settle and deteriorate sooner than properly compacted crushed stone; repairs may be needed within 5 to 15 years depending on drainage, compaction quality, and vehicle loads. When fill dirt is used only to raise non-structural grade and a well-built stone base is installed for the driveway, longevity improves significantly. To maximize life, ensure good compaction, surface drainage, and an appropriate aggregate base beneath pavement.

For erosion control on slopes near Jasper, crushed stone or rip-rap combined with erosion-control fabric and vegetation is generally more effective than bare fill dirt. Fill dirt can be used to create planting zones and support vegetative stabilization, but it erodes more easily when exposed and during heavy rain events common in West Georgia. For slope stabilization, consider a combination: engineered stone at the toe or as check points and topsoil/fill for planting where vegetation will be established.

Many local suppliers can deliver same-week depending on current stock and truck availability, but it is not guaranteed; Hello Gravel offers standard delivery at 2+ business days and a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST when available. Tailgate spreading may be offered by drivers at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and should be requested at checkout; for guaranteed spreading, hire a local contractor or schedule spreading services separately. Always check lead times and spreading availability when you request a quote.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
