Fill Dirt in Oxford, GA

Fill dirt is subsoil with few organics and lots of fines, used to raise low spots, build backfill behind foundations, or bring a yard to grade. In Oxford and West Georgia it often contains clay, so it is best used below topsoil or under engineered layers rather than as a final planting or driving surface.

Delivered prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and material quality, but a typical local range is approximately $10 to $30 per ton. Exact pricing shows up in our checkout for your zip code, and we recommend checking Hello Gravel for current local quotes and available delivery options.

Use this rule of thumb: volume (cubic yards) = area (sq ft) x depth (inches) / 324. Convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.3 (typical local average). For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches needs about 6.2 cubic yards or roughly 8 tons; add 20% to 30% for settling and compaction when ordering.

Fill dirt is fine for raising grade or filling low spots but is not recommended as a finished driveway surface because it compacts poorly and sheds water badly. For driveways in Oxford's clay soils, use fill dirt only as subgrade where required, then install a structural base such as crusher-run or dense-graded aggregate topped with 3 to 4 inches of compacted crushed stone.

If fill dirt is used under a driveway, remove organic topsoil first and place the fill in 4 to 6 inch lifts, compacting each lift with proper equipment. Contractors typically aim for 90% to 95% relative compaction on subgrades and then install an 8 to 12 inch compacted structural base (contractor-verified), followed by a 3 to 4 inch stone wearing course. For engineered projects or heavy loads, consult a local contractor or geotechnical engineer.

Because Oxford soils tend toward clay, fill dirt can be slow-draining, prone to surface runoff, and susceptible to erosion on slopes if not stabilized. To minimize washout, grade for positive drainage, protect slopes with erosion control measures (straw, seed, silt fence, or sod), and avoid using loose fill dirt as the final surface where rainfall concentrates.

Local rules vary, and significant grading or changes to drainage can require permits or reviews from City of Oxford or Newton County planning departments. Before ordering large volumes, contact Oxford City Hall or Newton County planning to confirm permit requirements and setback or stormwater rules that may apply to your address.

Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers who deliver bulk fill dirt to your address; our platform shows local pricing and available delivery dates. Minimum orders start around 3 tons, trucks are typically tri-axle, and you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, though the driver will assess feasibility on arrival.

Schedule delivery during dry weather when possible and pick a dump location that minimizes driving across fragile slopes or lawns. Consider staging material in smaller piles, request tailgate spreading at checkout, use small equipment (bobcat/excavator) to distribute material in controlled lifts, and protect downhill areas with silt fence or straw wattles to reduce sediment runoff.

Because Hello Gravel sources locally, fill dirt appearance, color, and clay content will reflect West Georgia geology and can vary between suppliers and loads. If color or texture matters for your project, mention preferences in the Order Notes and contact our team for photos or descriptions of available material before delivery.

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

Use our material calculator here: https://hellogravel.com/calculator/ to enter the length, width and depth measurements of your project. It will automatically calculate the cubic yards/tons needed. If you are unsure how much to order, contact our team for guidance.

Please type in your zip code on any product screen and it will let you know if we service your area. The chances are that we do!

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.

Hassle Free! Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.

We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end.
