Fill Dirt in cherrylog, GA

Local prices vary, but expect delivered fill dirt in Cherrylog and West Georgia to generally fall in a range rather than a fixed price. A typical delivered range is about $12 to $35 per ton (roughly $16 to $45 per cubic yard), depending on haul distance, truck size, and local supply; get a precise quote by entering your zip code on Hello Gravel.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth (162 sq ft at 2 inches, 54 sq ft at 6 inches, 27 sq ft at 12 inches). Fill dirt density varies, so estimate 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for planning; multiply cubic yards needed by your chosen ton-per-yard factor to get tons and round up for settlement and compaction.

Fill dirt is commonly used to build grade and raise low areas, but Cherrylog’s clay soils and steep slopes require care: clay holds water and hillsides can need erosion control. For sloped sites, use engineered fills, proper compaction, benches or terracing, and drainage measures; consult a contractor for steep or load-bearing applications.

Avoid large deliveries during very wet periods or immediate heavy rain, as North Georgia spring rains can make sites muddy and hard to compact. Plan deliveries for drier months or stable weather windows; Hello Gravel’s standard delivery is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST if you need faster timing.

Possibly. Local county, city, or HOA rules may regulate grading, setbacks, floodplain work, and truck access; Cherrylog property owners should check with their county building office and any HOA before large fills. For work near streams, septic systems, or public right-of-way, get necessary permits to avoid fines or required rework.

For small jobs, use a compacting plate (wacker) and a skid steer or mini-excavator to place and spread material; larger jobs often need a roller and geotextile for stability. Compact in thin lifts (4-8 inches) and compact each lift thoroughly; Hello Gravel drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but plan to rent equipment or hire a contractor for proper compaction.

Fill dirt is low in organic matter and is best for raising grades or backfill, not as a finished surface. For driveways, road base or crusher run provide better drainage and load-bearing performance, while topsoil is for planting and landscaping. Often projects use fill dirt for bulk grading, then place road base or crusher run for driveways and topsoil for lawns.

If used only as subgrade and properly compacted with a suitable structural base layer on top, the combination can perform well for years. Expect some settlement over time—proper compaction, good drainage, and a stable base layer reduce future settling and maintenance needs; lack of drainage or organic material in the fill can lead to more movement and repairs.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST with an added fee. Save money by ordering the right quantity (round up to avoid return trips), scheduling deliveries during off-peak weekdays, bundling materials, and requesting local quotes to reduce haul distance.

Clear the delivery area of obstacles, mark underground utilities, and choose a stable drop zone accessible to a tri-axle dump truck; on steep or narrow roads, notify Hello Gravel when ordering so the supplier can assess access. Protect driveways and lawns if possible, communicate tailgate spreading requests at checkout, and be ready to discuss placement with the driver on arrival.

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