Fill Dirt in Decatur, GA

Yes, fill dirt is usually cheaper than crushed gravel because it is a basic soil material without stone. In Decatur you can expect lower per-yard prices for fill dirt compared with decorative or compactible gravels, but final cost depends on supplier, delivery distance, and whether the material requires screening or rock removal.

Prices vary by supplier and season, but in the Decatur area fill dirt commonly ranges from about $10 to $30 per cubic yard delivered. Exact pricing depends on local availability, moisture content, truck type, and your delivery location, so request a quote for an accurate price.

Local pricing is usually quoted by the cubic yard for loose fill dirt; in Decatur that commonly runs about $10 to $30 per cubic yard. If you need a per-ton estimate, many soils weigh roughly 1.1 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and composition, so convert using that range and ask your supplier for a weight-based quote.

Hello Gravel’s network commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks which typically carry about 10 to 15 cubic yards of loose fill dirt per load. Truck capacity varies by model and local hauling rules, so confirm the expected yards when you book delivery.

A tri-axle load of 10 to 15 cubic yards of fill dirt generally weighs roughly 12 to 24 tons, depending on soil type and moisture. Wet clay soils weigh more than dry, sandy fills, so weight can vary; your supplier can provide an estimated weight for permits or site planning.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and will cover about 108 square feet at a 3-inch depth, about 54 square feet at 6 inches, and about 27 square feet at 12 inches. Use these examples to calculate how many yards you need for your Decatur project and add 5-10% extra for compaction and grading.

Most full-size pickup beds carry between about 0.5 and 1.0 cubic yard depending on bed size and whether the load is level with the cab. For anything over a yard or to avoid extra trips, ordering a dump truck delivery is usually easier and often more economical for Decatur-area jobs.

One cubic yard is a block roughly 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft, about the size of a large household appliance stacked on its side. Visually, it is enough to raise an area of 10 by 10 feet by about 3 inches, which helps when planning how much to order.

Yes, buying fill dirt in bulk is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than buying the equivalent in bags because you avoid the packaging and retail markup. For larger jobs in Decatur the savings can be significant; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so bulk delivery is often the best value.

The least expensive approach is to order bulk local fill dirt during off-peak times and accept a standard dump delivery instead of spread service. You can also save by sourcing regional fill (which Hello Gravel can connect you with) and planning projects so you need fewer re-deliveries.

To calculate volume, multiply area by depth: for 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep (0.333 ft) you need about 333 cubic feet or about 12.3 cubic yards. Adjust for your required depth and include an extra 5-10% for compaction and grading when ordering in Decatur.

Cost depends on yards per load and price per yard; for example, a 12-yard tri-axle load at $15 to $25 per yard would run roughly $180 to $300 delivered. Because prices vary by supplier and distance within the Decatur area, get a firm quote through Hello Gravel for an accurate delivered price.

Hourly rates for landscapers in the Decatur area commonly range from about $40 to $85 per hour, but many pros charge flat fees per cubic yard or per truckload when moving fill dirt because of equipment and disposal needs. If you need spreading, request the service at checkout and expect the driver or contractor to assess access and safety before proceeding.
