Fill Dirt in Bolingbroke, GA

Fill dirt is clean subsoil with minimal organic matter used to raise low spots, build pads, or backfill trenches. In Bolingbroke's clay-rich yards, use fill dirt for leveling and structural fills but not as a final surface for driveways or areas that need drainage; add gravel or crushed stone on top for driving surfaces.

Calculate volume in cubic yards: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) / 27. For example, to raise a 1,000 sq ft area by 4 inches (0.333 ft) you need about 12.4 cubic yards. Convert to tons only as an estimate—compacted fill dirt in West Georgia typically weighs roughly 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so check our calculator or request a quote for a precise delivered weight.

Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers and haulers that serve Bolingbroke; specific suppliers depend on availability and regional sourcing. Delivery policies vary by supplier—expect tri-axle dump trucks, minimums of about 3 tons, potential short-load fees for small orders, and optional next-day delivery (fee applies) when ordered before noon CST.

Monroe County's clayey soils and seasonal heavy rains can hold water and cause settling or slow drainage when mixed with fill dirt. For best performance, place fill in thin lifts and compact properly, and use a drainage layer (gravel or crushed stone) or slope away from structures to avoid long-term saturation and movement.

Compact fill dirt in 6- to 8-inch lifts using a vibratory roller for larger areas or a heavy plate compactor for small jobs. Aim for target compaction set by an engineer (commonly 90% to 95% of Proctor maximum density for structural work); number of passes depends on equipment and lift thickness, so hire a local contractor or testing lab for final specs on critical pads and driveways.

Large fills, building pads, or projects affecting stormwater often require permits, erosion control measures, or inspections from Monroe County or local planning. Check with Monroe County Building and Planning before starting a major import of fill dirt, and get any required approvals to avoid stop-work orders or rework.

Screened fill dirt is good for raising and leveling because it is finer and easier to compact, but it holds water and is not ideal as a driveway surface. Clean fill has fewer organics and is better for structural fills, while crushed stone or gravel provides the drainage and stability needed for durable driveways in Bolingbroke's climate.

Fill dirt used under a proper gravel or crushed-stone base can last many years, but expect some settlement and the need for regrading or adding material every 1 to 3 years, depending on traffic and drainage. Regular maintenance—keeping grades, repairing ruts, and ensuring good drainage—extends service life, and professional compaction at installation reduces future work.

Many West Georgia contractors include compaction and sometimes geotextile fabric for larger or load-bearing projects because those steps improve stability and limit mixing of soils. Including those services increases cost but often reduces maintenance and settlement; discuss scope with your contractor and ask for soil compaction targets and fabric recommendations before work begins.

Yes. Wet seasons and heavy rains can limit quarry operations and make job sites muddy, which may delay deliveries or add fees for difficult drops. Order early for spring and late-fall projects, consider scheduling outside peak rainy periods, and ask Hello Gravel about current local availability and any anticipated delays.

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.
