Fill Dirt in elko, GA

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel in elko and across Georgia because it is usually unprocessed subsoil with little or no rock. Gravel requires crushing and screening, which raises its price. Exact savings depend on local supplier rates and delivery distance.

Prices vary by supplier and quality, but in West Georgia you can typically expect fill dirt to range from about $8 to $25 per cubic yard or the equivalent depending on moisture and compaction. Delivery, minimum order size (Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum), and local hauling costs will affect the final price.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the depth in inches. Convert: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches needs about 12.3 cubic yards. Use our material calculator or contact Hello Gravel for a precise estimate.

A common tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 12 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (roughly 1 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture). Exact truck sizes vary by hauler, so Hello Gravel will confirm truck capacity and pricing when you order.

Most full-size pickup beds hold about 0.5 to 1 cubic yard of loose material depending on bed size and whether the tailgate is down. Smaller pickups usually hold less than 0.5 cubic yard. For larger jobs, ordering by the cubic yard or a truckload is easier and safer.

One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft pile and translates to roughly 18 to 20 full wheelbarrows, depending on the wheelbarrow size. Visualize it as a stack about chest high for most people placed on a driveway or yard.

Yes, you can use clean, non-organic fill dirt to level low spots, but it should be placed in 4-6 inch lifts and compacted as you go to avoid future settling. If you plan to plant grass or landscaping, finish with a layer of topsoil because fill dirt lacks organic material needed for plants.

Fill dirt is mostly fine subsoil with minimal rock and little organic matter, used to raise or fill ground. Gravel is crushed rock used for drainage, driveways, and structural base layers. Use fill dirt for bulk raising and leveling; use gravel where drainage or load-bearing surface is needed.

Use cubic yards for coverage: 1 cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Density varies, but 1 ton of fill dirt can be roughly 0.8 to 1.2 cubic yards depending on moisture and composition, so convert to cubic yards for accurate coverage planning.

Costs depend on material price, truck size, and hauling distance. In West Georgia, a tri-axle load (about 12-14 cubic yards) commonly falls in a wide range; get an exact quote through Hello Gravel for current local pricing and available delivery dates. We handle coordination and will confirm final cost before you pay.

You can place gravel over compacted fill dirt, but the fill should be well compacted and free of loose organic material to prevent settling. For driveways, consider a compacted gravel base layer and proper grading; adding a geotextile fabric can help separate the fill and gravel and reduce mixing.

For 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep, you need about 12.3 cubic yards of fill dirt. If you want 2 inches, you need about 6.1 cubic yards. Always order a little extra (5-10%) to account for compaction and grading.
