Fill Dirt in Butler, GA

Prices vary by supplier and distance, but in Butler (West Georgia) expect roughly $12 to $35 per ton delivered as a general range. A small tri-axle truckload can run from about $180 to $600 depending on truck size, quantity, and delivery distance. Final cost depends on whether the dirt is screened/clean, local availability, and any delivery fees for rural access.

Most local deliveries to Butler use tri-axle dump trucks that typically carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of material. For fill dirt (loose), that usually equals roughly 12 to 16 tons per load, though actual tonnage varies by moisture and compaction. Ask your Hello Gravel quote for the estimated tons for the truck assigned to your delivery.

Yes — fill dirt is generally cheaper than decorative or crushed gravel because it is less processed and often sourced locally. Fill dirt is intended for grading and backfill, while gravel is processed for drainage or appearance, which increases its price. Costs in Butler will still depend on supplier and whether the fill is screened or has organics removed.

One ton of loose fill dirt is about 0.77 cubic yards, so coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb: 1 ton covers about 250 sq ft at 1 inch deep, about 125 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 42 sq ft at 6 inches. For projects in Butler, calculate your required depth and area to get a more accurate quantity before ordering.

To keep costs low in Butler, order from a local supplier, schedule standard delivery (2+ business days), and combine needs with neighbors or a contractor to reach full truckloads. Avoid expedited delivery fees, ask for clean fill if you plan to use it in landscaping, and compare Hello Gravel quotes for the best local options. Be cautious accepting 'free' fill from unknown sources because it may contain contaminants that create extra costs later.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the depth in inches, then use: cubic yards = (area in sq ft × depth in inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons by multiplying by about 1.3 (one cubic yard of loose fill dirt ≈1.3 tons). Add 5-10% extra for compaction and waste, and remember Hello Gravel has an online calculator to simplify this for Butler addresses.

Fill dirt can be used to raise grade or fill low spots, but it is not a substitute for a compacted structural base under driveways or patios. For load-bearing surfaces in Butler you should use compacted engineered fill and a proper crushed-stone base; a contractor can advise on compaction and geotextile requirements. For non-structural grading and landscaping, clean fill dirt is usually fine.

Most deliveries in Butler are made by tri-axle dump trucks that require reasonable driveway and road access. On narrow rural roads, steep driveways, or properties with overhead obstructions, drivers may need to dump at the curb or on the nearest accessible spot. Request delivery details at checkout and note access issues in Order Notes; tailgate spreading can be requested but is at the driver's discretion and not guaranteed.

Ask whether the fill is 'clean' (free of large roots, trash, and debris) and whether it contains high clay or organic material, since these affect compaction and drainage. Confirm delivery method, minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), and whether the supplier sources locally in West Georgia. If your project requires structural fill, ask for documentation or a specification from the supplier.

Standard delivery typically takes 2 or more business days from order; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery timing depends on supplier availability and local haulers serving Butler, so choose your preferred date at checkout and contact our team if you have time-sensitive needs.
