Hello Gravel connects you with trusted local suppliers in the West Georgia region who often stock screened fill dirt and offer small-load deliveries.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards (about 11 to 14 tons depending on moisture and density). To raise the same area by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards (about 22 to 28 tons). These are approximate ranges; final tonnage depends on the material's bulk density and how much compaction you require.

Fill dirt can compact well if it is free of organic material, placed in thin lifts, and compacted with proper equipment, which is important on West Georgia clay. However, native clay may hold water and cause some movement; for critical applications or saturated sites you may need a granular base or engineered fill to improve drainage and stability. Talk with our team or a local geotechnical professional if you are filling for a structure or traffic-bearing surface.

Screened fill dirt is suitable for general grading and raising pads because it has fewer rocks and roots, but it is not the ideal final surface under driveways or slabs. For driveways and slabs, contractors commonly place a compacted granular layer (crushed stone or crusher run) over fill dirt to improve drainage and support. For septic systems or building pads, engineered fill or an engineer-approved compaction plan is often required—check with Murray County before proceeding.

Fill dirt is best for bulk filling and rough grading where organic material is undesirable; it is not designed as a wearing surface. Crushed stone or crusher run provide drainage and load-bearing capacity for driveways and slab subbases. Topsoil is for planting and landscaping, while fill sand is useful for leveling and improved drainage in some applications; choose materials based on whether you need support, drainage, or plant-ready soil.

A driveway that uses fill dirt as the base without a proper granular top layer will likely settle, rut, and require frequent grading after heavy rains in West Georgia. With a properly compacted fill and a crushed stone surface, driveways can last many years with occasional addition of stone and periodic grading. Plan for seasonal maintenance in wet months and consider adding a gravel surface layer to reduce long-term upkeep.

For small grading projects in your yard you often will not need a permit, but larger changes to building pads, septic systems, or public right-of-way typically require permits or engineered fill specifications. Chatsworth is in Murray County; contact the Murray County Planning and Building department to confirm permit and inspection requirements before placing large volumes of fill dirt. If a structure or septic system is involved, a geotechnical or civil engineer may be required to specify compaction and material standards.

Some local suppliers and contractors near Chatsworth offer compaction, grading, and installation services, but availability varies by supplier and site conditions. Hello Gravel can connect you with providers who offer these services when available; request installation services when ordering and the supplier will confirm if they can provide compaction or grading on your site. Remember that tailgate spreading by the driver is at their discretion and is not guaranteed.

Bulk discounts commonly begin at a full truckload (typically around 10 to 14 cubic yards for tri-axle trucks) or with multiple-truck orders, but thresholds vary by supplier. Standard lead time through Hello Gravel is 2+ business days, with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST, and rural deliveries around Chatsworth may require additional scheduling time. For the best price and timing, request a quote showing truckload pricing and confirm any access or offload constraints ahead of delivery.

Measure the area and use our material calculator or ask Hello Gravel for help converting depth to cubic yards and tons, and add 5-15% extra for compaction and settling. Note access limitations, soft spots, drive width, and overhead obstacles when ordering so suppliers can match truck size and offload method, and add ordering notes for screened material if you plan to finish grade or seed. If your project involves structures, septic systems, or heavy loads, get an engineered plan to specify fill type and compaction requirements.

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

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.
