Fill Dirt in Calhoun, GA

In West Georgia, fill dirt typically costs about $8 to $20 per cubic yard, with prices often quoted between $10 and $25 per ton depending on moisture content, screening, and delivery distance. Final price for a Calhoun delivery will depend on supplier availability, whether the material is screened/clean, and any delivery or tipping fees, so check your quote on Hello Gravel for an exact price.

You can order fill dirt through Hello Gravel, which connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers serving Calhoun and surrounding West Georgia towns. Most suppliers deliver by dump truck to residential driveways and job sites; confirm availability for your zip code, the minimum order (usually 3 tons), and any access restrictions during checkout.

Hello Gravel deliveries commonly use tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which is roughly 11 to 18 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Smaller deliveries may be on tandem-axle trucks; your checkout page will show the expected truck type and approximate quantity for your order.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, 54 sq ft at 6 inches, and 27 sq ft at 12 inches. Because fill dirt density varies, 1 cubic yard typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.4 tons, so 1 ton covers roughly 240 to 300 sq ft at 1 inch; use our material calculator for precise estimates for your Calhoun project.

Yes, fill dirt is generally less expensive per yard than crushed stone, but it is not a substitute for crushed gravel where drainage and load-bearing are required. For driveway bases in Calhoun's climate you should use compacted fill for bulk elevation, then cap with crushed stone or gravel for strength and drainage.

You can place fill dirt on native soil for non-structural grading, but for stable fill (driveway subgrade, building pads, or areas with heavy loads) you should place material in lifts and mechanically compact each lift. In West Georgia's clay soils, proper compaction and sometimes geotextile or a granular base will reduce settling and drainage problems.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days with no extra fee in many areas; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees can vary by supplier and distance from the quarry, so your checkout quote will show any applied delivery charge for Calhoun.

For a driveway base use clean, compactible fill or structural fill placed in lifts and compacted, then topped with crushed stone; do not use unprocessed fill as the final driving surface. For rough grading or raising yard elevation, screened fill dirt is appropriate, but for final turf or garden areas you should finish with screened topsoil or a topsoil blend because fill dirt lacks organic matter.

Measure the area and depth before ordering and use Hello Gravel's calculator to check quantities; remember to allow extra for compaction and settlement. Note delivery access (overhead wires, tight driveways), request tailgate spreading in Order Notes if desired (drivers decide on arrival), and contact our team if you need to change an order before dispatch.

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.
