Fill Dirt in Winston, GA

Yes, fill dirt is typically cheaper per cubic yard than gravel because it is unprocessed subsoil rather than crushed stone. In Winston and West Georgia the local clay-rich fill dirt usually costs less, but final price depends on delivery distance and the amount ordered.

In Winston, fill dirt commonly runs as an estimate of about $12 to $30 per cubic yard delivered, or roughly $8 to $22 per ton, depending on supplier, distance, and material type. These are ballpark figures; request a local quote on Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price and available minimums (we typically require 3 tons).

A ton of fill dirt usually costs less than a ton of gravel because gravel requires quarrying and crushing. In West Georgia you can expect fill dirt to be noticeably cheaper per ton, though hauling and truck weight limits can narrow that gap for short distances or small orders.

Fill dirt is subsoil with little organic matter used to raise grade, fill holes, and support structures when compacted, while gravel is crushed rock used for drainage and surfaces. In Winston area soils the fill dirt often contains clay, so it compacts well but is not suitable for planting or final surface uses without a gravel or top layer.

A standard tri-axle dump truck in our network typically holds about 10 to 16 cubic yards of fill dirt; weight for clay-rich West Georgia fill commonly falls in the 12 to 20 ton range per load. Cost varies by truck size and haul distance, so get a local Hello Gravel quote—prices depend on supplier, route, and whether spreading is requested.

For 1,000 sq ft: 2 inches requires about 6.2 cubic yards, 4 inches about 12.3 cubic yards, and 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards of fill dirt. Order 10% extra for compaction and grade adjustments and check with Hello Gravel for exact tonnage based on local soil density.

A single cubic yard is physically similar to a 3'x3'x3' cube and may fit in some full-size pickup beds, but fill dirt is heavy and can exceed a truck's payload capacity. For safety and local road weight limits in Winston, we recommend professional delivery for anything near or above 1 cubic yard or if you are unsure about your truck's capacity.

One cubic yard is about a 3'x3'x3' cube and will fill roughly eight standard wheelbarrows and may be about half to a full pickup bed depending on bed size. In practice in Winston you’ll see it cover about 81 sq ft at a 4-inch depth before compaction.

One cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly 27 cubic feet, and a typical wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so expect about 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads. Exact counts depend on your wheelbarrow size and how full you load it.

Using a common conversion, one ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8 to 0.9 cubic yards, so at 4 inches depth one ton will cover about 60 to 75 sq ft. Coverage varies with soil density and compaction, so use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate for Winston conditions.

Cheapest options include using clean onsite soils from your own excavation, ordering larger loads to reduce per-unit hauling cost, or sourcing local fill from nearby construction sites if allowed. Always check material suitability (no contaminants or organic material) and call Hello Gravel to compare local supplier quotes quickly.

Truck capacities vary: a single-axle dump may carry 6 to 10 cubic yards, while a tri-axle commonly carries 10 to 16 cubic yards; for West Georgia clay fill that often translates to about 8 to 25 tons depending on truck size. Ask your Hello Gravel quote for the specific truck planned for your delivery to confirm cubic yards and estimated tonnage.

Yes, you can place gravel over properly compacted fill dirt, but the fill must be compacted and graded first to avoid settling and drainage issues. In West Georgia’s clay soils, consider a geotextile or a crushed stone base between the fill and surface gravel for better stability and drainage.

For a 20 ft long driveway at a common 12 ft width, a 4-inch base requires about 3 cubic yards of material; a 6-inch base requires about 4.5 cubic yards. Using local Winston pricing estimates, multiply cubic yards by the delivered rate from Hello Gravel and add compaction and any hauling fees—request a tailored quote to get an accurate delivered price.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is subsoil with minimal organic matter and less processing. If you plan to plant, use topsoil or a topsoil mix on the surface; for raising grade or structural backfill in West Georgia, fill dirt is the cost-effective choice.
