Fill Dirt in crandall, GA

Fill dirt is native subsoil with minimal organic material used to raise grade, fill holes, and build up pads. In Crandall projects it is commonly used under driveways, lawns, and building pads where structural integrity is needed but topsoil or decorative finish is not required.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.26 cubic yards of fill dirt, which typically weighs about 10 to 13 tons depending on moisture and clay content. We recommend ordering a little extra (5-10%) to allow for compaction and grading.

Prices vary by supplier and current demand, but fill dirt in West Georgia often ranges roughly $8 to $25 per ton ($6 to $18 per cubic yard) for bulk loads. For an exact, up-to-date price for Crandall, enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote since local quarry and hauling costs affect final pricing.

Many suppliers and Hello Gravel require a 3-ton minimum; some local haulers set higher minimums (5 to 10 tons) or add a small-load fee for short deliveries. Delivery fees depend on distance, access, and site conditions, so check your quote and add delivery notes (driveway width, gates, overhead wires) to avoid surprises.

Contractors expect fill dirt to be mostly fine-grained soil with minimal organic matter and occasional small rock; particle sizes are typically silt and clay with some sand. For structural areas, compaction of 90% to 95% of standard Proctor is commonly specified; for residential grade work, contractors often compact in 4- to 6-inch lifts with a roller or plate compactor.

Small backyard fills often do not require permits, but any work that changes drainage, affects neighboring properties, or is part of a building foundation may need Carroll County permits or erosion-control approvals. Contact Carroll County planning or Hello Gravel customer service if you are unsure before ordering large amounts.

Crandall's humid climate and local clayey soils can hold moisture and shrink or swell, which affects drainage and stability. For driveways or building pads, add a drainage layer or use blended/stabilized fill and ensure proper compaction to reduce settling and standing water issues.

Some West Georgia suppliers offer blended options (mixed with sand, crushed stone, or stabilizers like lime) for improved drainage and compaction. These engineered or stabilized mixes typically cost more than plain fill dirt, often 15% to 40% higher depending on the blend and additives; request specific mix pricing when you get a quote.

Yes. Wet seasons can limit truck access and require truck staging or extra labor, which may delay delivery or add fees. It is a good idea to schedule deliveries for drier days when possible and to check next-day availability if you need faster service.

For small residential jobs, contractors or rental equipment costs for spreading and compacting typically range from about $300 to $800 per day for a skid-steer or mini-excavator plus operator, with additional daily compactor rental if needed. Many contractors charge a per-cubic-yard or per-hour rate for spreading and compaction; get written estimates for your specific site conditions.

Policies vary by supplier. If the delivered fill dirt does not match your order or has unacceptable contamination, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly; we will work with the supplier to resolve issues per their terms. Keep photos and site notes handy and review the supplier's return policy in your order confirmation.
