Fill Dirt in Cusseta, GA

In Cusseta and West Georgia, fill dirt commonly ranges from about $8 to $25 per ton (or roughly $10 to $35 per cubic yard) depending on cleanliness, moisture, and supplier. Prices vary with whether the dirt is screened/clean, delivery distance, and seasonal demand, so final cost will be set at checkout after zip-code based sourcing.

Cost depends on truck size and the per-ton rate; a typical tri-axle load in West Georgia delivers roughly 12 to 16 cubic yards (about 15 to 25 tons for fill dirt). At $12 to $20 per ton, a truckload could run anywhere from about $200 to $500 before any special delivery fees or minimums.

Generally yes — fill dirt is usually less expensive than processed gravel because it is less processed and often locally available from excavations. However, differences can shrink if you need screened/clean fill or if gravel is locally abundant, so compare quotes for your specific zip code.

A standard single-axle dump truck usually carries about 6 to 10 cubic yards, while a tri-axle commonly carries about 12 to 16 cubic yards. For fill dirt that converts to roughly 8 to 20 tons for single-axle trucks and about 15 to 25 tons for tri-axle trucks, depending on moisture and compaction.

Calculate cubic yards with this formula: (area in square feet * depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards needed. Then convert cubic yards to tons using an estimated 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt; for example, 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards, which is roughly 11 to 14 tons.

Coverage depends on how deep you spread it: as a rule of thumb, one ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.9 cubic yards, which covers about 80 sq ft at 3 inches, about 160 sq ft at 1.5 inches, and about 250 sq ft at 1 inch. Variation in moisture and material density can change those numbers, so always round up or calculate with measured density when possible.

The most cost-effective options are to order bulk loads from local suppliers (reduce haul distance), reuse on-site excavated material if suitable, and avoid screened or premium mixes unless needed. Ordering larger volumes at once and scheduling delivery during off-peak seasons can also lower per-ton delivery costs; check Hello Gravel for zip-code pricing and local supplier options.

Yes — fill dirt typically settles and densifies after delivery, especially if it's loose or contains fines. Plan on ordering 5% to 15% extra material to allow for settlement and compaction, and consider mechanical compaction or structural fill for areas that will support buildings or driveways.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted haulers nationwide, including deliveries to Cusseta (pop. 2,090) when available in your zip code. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and minimum orders start at 3 tons.

Fill dirt is good for raising grades, filling low spots, and creating subgrade for lawn areas, but it is not ideal as a final top layer for planting because it lacks organic matter. For driveway bases or load-bearing areas, use properly compacted clean fill or a crushed stone base and consult with Hello Gravel or a local contractor about material specification and compaction requirements.

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