Fill Dirt in boxsprings, GA

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than gravel in Boxsprings because it is usually just subsoil without stone. However, fill dirt is not a suitable wearing surface for driveways; you still need compacted base material and gravel or crushed stone on top for a durable driveway. Use fill dirt for grading and raising low spots, then add proper base and surface material for driving.

Prices vary by supplier and haul distance, but in West Georgia (including Boxsprings) delivered fill dirt typically ranges from about $12 to $26 per cubic yard, or roughly $10 to $22 per ton based on common weight estimates. Exact pricing depends on local availability, truck access, and delivery distance, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel for an exact quote. Minimum orders and delivery fees may apply.

Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise grade, fill holes, and provide a stable base layer; it contains little organic matter and few rocks. Gravel is a drainage and wearing material used as a base or surface layer for driveways because it compacts and sheds water. For a driveway you typically use fill dirt to set grades, then compacted base material and gravel on top for strength and drainage.

One thousand square feet requires about 6.17 cubic yards at 2", 12.35 cubic yards at 4", and 18.52 cubic yards at 6". Using a typical Boxsprings delivered price of $12 to $26 per cubic yard, expect approximately $74 to $161 for 2", $148 to $321 for 4", and $222 to $481 for 6" of fill dirt. Final price depends on supplier, delivery distance, and whether compaction or spreading is requested.

At typical Boxsprings rates of $12 to $26 per cubic yard, 100 cubic yards would cost about $1,200 to $2,600 delivered. Large orders may get lower per-yard pricing or volume discounts from local suppliers, so request a quote through Hello Gravel for the best rate and to confirm delivery logistics. Remember to factor in truck access and site prep which can affect total cost.

Physically, 1 cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube, and a full-size pickup bed can sometimes hold about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards. However, 1 cubic yard of fill dirt can weigh about 2,000 to 3,000 lb, which likely exceeds the safe payload of many consumer pickup trucks. For safety and legal reasons, larger deliveries are better handled by a dump truck from Hello Gravel rather than loading a pickup bed.

One cubic yard is a cube roughly 3 feet on each side (3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft) and equals 27 cubic feet. Fill dirt typically weighs around 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per cubic yard (about 1.0 to 1.5 tons), depending on moisture and soil composition. That weight makes hauling by pickup risky, so most homeowners order by the cubic yard delivered by dump truck.

For cost-effectiveness, remove large debris and vegetation yourself, then order bulk fill dirt delivered in truckloads rather than smaller pickups to lower per-unit hauling costs. Plan for proper compaction and drainage, and ask suppliers about local subsoil options—local materials often cost less due to lower haul distance. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers, check delivery windows, and take advantage of minimum-order pricing.

A standard tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards loose, but weight limits for fill dirt may reduce that volume. Delivered cost for a single truckload in Boxsprings usually ranges from a few hundred dollars to around $1,000 depending on distance, site access, and material price; short local hauls tend to be toward the lower end. For an exact truckload price, request quotes through Hello Gravel and note the minimum order (3 tons) and any delivery fees.

One cubic yard covers approximately 162 sq ft at 2" depth, 81 sq ft at 4" depth, and 54 sq ft at 6" depth. Because 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.0 to 1.5 tons, coverage per ton depends on the soil weight; roughly estimating, one ton will cover about 108 to 162 sq ft at 2" or about 36 to 54 sq ft at 6". Use the cubic yard numbers for more reliable coverage calculations, and try Hello Gravel's material calculator for project-specific estimates.

You can use fill dirt to raise or level existing soil, but fill dirt alone is not an appropriate driveway surface because it compacts poorly and can rut or wash out. For a durable driveway, install compacted structural fill or base material and then a layer of gravel or crushed stone as the wearing surface. If drainage or freeze-thaw is a concern in West Georgia, consider geotextile fabric and proper compaction to improve longevity.

The most affordable approach is to order the largest reasonable quantity in a single delivery to reduce per-yard hauling costs and choose standard delivery instead of next-day. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and check for free or low-cost delivery options in your zip code, and schedule delivery during normal business days to avoid rush fees. Also discuss site access with the hauler ahead of time to prevent extra fees for difficult drops or extra handling.

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