Fill Dirt in North High Shoals, GA

Fill dirt is mostly subsoil used to raise or level ground; it usually contains little organic matter compared with topsoil. In North High Shoals you’d use it for filling low spots, building up driveway approaches before gravel, and creating level bases for patios or foundations. Because local soils vary, our suppliers source regionally so material will reflect West Georgia geology.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel because it requires less processing and is often available locally. Costs vary by supply and delivery in West Georgia, but if you need structural drainage or a finished surface, gravel may be worth the extra cost.

It depends on depth. For example: at 2 inches you need about 2.5 cubic yards, at 4 inches about 5 cubic yards, and at 6 inches about 7.5 cubic yards; multiply cubic yards by roughly 1.2–1.6 to estimate tons. Use our material calculator or contact our team for a project-specific estimate for your North High Shoals site.

Some full-size pickups can carry about 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt, but weight (payload) is the limiting factor—fill dirt can be heavy and may exceed your truck’s safe payload. For safety and convenience, many homeowners in North High Shoals use dump delivery from Hello Gravel, which has a three-ton minimum order and professional drivers.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and looks like a modest pile about 3 feet high by 3 feet wide by 3 feet long. Depending on your wheelbarrow size, that is roughly 8 to 9 wheelbarrow loads for a typical 3–4 cubic foot wheelbarrow.

Coverage depends on depth. As an example, one ton of fill dirt (roughly 1.2–1.6 cubic yards by weight) will cover about 70 square feet at 6 inches deep, about 140 square feet at 3 inches, and about 280 square feet at 1.5 inches. For exact coverage on your North High Shoals project use the volume formula (area x depth) or our online calculator.

Weight varies by soil type and moisture, but a practical estimate for fill dirt is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. For planning deliveries to North High Shoals, we recommend using that range and checking the supplier’s specific density if you need precise weight-based limits.
