Fill Dirt in McCaysville, GA

Typical delivered fill dirt prices in the West Georgia/McCaysville area usually fall in a modest range depending on supplier, distance, and load size. Expect a ballpark of about $10 to $30 per ton delivered, though final pricing varies by local quarry availability, truck haul distance, and seasonal demand. For an exact quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team for local pricing and delivery details.

Hello Gravel connects you directly with local suppliers and haulers serving McCaysville and Fannin County, so the fastest way to find local sources is to enter your zip code on our site or call our team. Local landscaping yards, farm-supply stores, and small regional quarries commonly supply fill dirt in this part of North Georgia.

Use these quick conversions: 3" = 0.0093 cu yd per sq ft (about 0.012 tons at ~1.3 tons/yd3), 6" = 0.0185 cu yd per sq ft (about 0.024 tons), and 12" = 0.0370 cu yd per sq ft (about 0.048 tons). For practical ordering, multiply those figures by the number of square feet, or ask Hello Gravel to calculate total cubic yards or tons when you enter project dimensions.

For steep driveways and erosion control in hilly McCaysville terrain, use a mix approach: compactible fill dirt for raising grades, topped with a layer of coarse gravel or crushed stone for surface stability and drainage. Also consider adding geotextile fabric and terracing or retaining walls; pure fine-fill without a drainage layer tends to rut and trap water on slopes in our local climate.

Fill dirt compacts well but often holds moisture and can heave during freeze-thaw cycles, so it is suitable for raising low areas and non-structural fills but not ideal as the final surface where drainage and stability matter. In McCaysville, combine compacted fill dirt with proper drainage layers (coarse stone) and grading to direct water away from structures to reduce freeze-thaw and saturation problems.

Fill dirt is mostly soil with fines and organic particles and is good for raising grade and non-structural backfill, but it retains moisture and does not drain well. Crushed stone is angular, drains well, and provides structural support—so for foundation backfill, driveway bases, and areas needing load-bearing capacity in North Georgia, crushed stone or compacted granular fill is usually preferred over straight fill dirt.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; standard delivery timing is 2+ business days with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees in rural McCaysville vary by distance and access—narrow roads, low-clearance bridges, tight turns, or limited offloading space can add fees or require smaller trucks, so note any access issues in your order notes.

Small residential deliveries usually don’t need a permit, but larger fills, grading, or changes to drainage may trigger local or county regulations in McCaysville and Fannin County. Before moving large volumes, check with McCaysville City Hall and the Fannin County planning or building department about erosion control, grading permits, or setback rules to avoid code issues.

A properly constructed driveway with a compacted fill subgrade and a durable gravel surface can last 5 to 15 years, but maintenance in North Georgia includes periodic grading, replenishing washed-out areas, and addressing drainage. In McCaysville’s hilly, freeze-thaw conditions, expect to regrade and add material every few years, especially in ruts and low spots.

Contractor costs for placing and compacting fill dirt vary by project size and access, but expect labor and compaction to add roughly $8 to $25 per cubic yard in many local jobs; final rates depend on haul distance and job complexity. Contractors commonly compact fill in 6- to 8-inch lifts and aim for about 90% to 95% of standard Proctor density for structural fills—confirm the spec with your engineer or local contractor for foundation or driveway work.

Measure your area and note depth, access, and where you want material placed; add those details in Order Notes and upload photos if possible so the driver can plan. Because material color and texture vary by local sourcing, add color or particle-size preferences at checkout, and request tailgate spreading only as a discretionary service—the driver will confirm on arrival.

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

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
