A tri-axle dump truck commonly used for local deliveries holds roughly 8 to 10 cubic yards (about 12 to 14 tons) of loose fill dirt, while smaller trucks carry less. Multiply the truckload volume by the per-yard or per-ton price from your Hello Gravel quote to estimate total cost.

Fill dirt is made up of fine soil, clay, and small rock used to raise or level ground and is not intended for drainage or finished surfaces. Gravel is crushed stone or pebbles used for drainage, driveways, and structural base layers. Use fill dirt to build up grade and gravel for stable, draining surfaces.

Yes, fill dirt is usually less expensive than topsoil because it contains little to no organic matter and is not screened for planting. If you plan to grow plants or turf, you should use topsoil or a topsoil mix on the final few inches rather than fill dirt alone.

To calculate: multiply area (1,000 sq ft) by desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, at 4 inches (0.333 ft) depth you need about 12.35 cubic yards (1,000 x 0.333 / 27).

It depends on the truck. A heavy-duty full-size pickup might carry up to about 1 cubic yard loose but could exceed axle or legal weight limits depending on the material; most standard pickups realistically carry 0.5 to 1 cubic yard. For safety and convenience, consider a dump truck delivery from Hello Gravel.

One cubic yard is a pile roughly 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft (27 cubic feet). It will look like a modest mound that one person can move with a wheelbarrow but is not enough for large grade changes.

It depends on wheelbarrow size. A common contractor wheelbarrow holds about 6 cubic feet, so 1 cubic yard (27 cubic feet) equals roughly 4.5 standard contractor wheelbarrows; smaller home wheelbarrows will take more trips.

Coverage varies with depth and material density, but as a rule of thumb 1 ton of fill dirt is roughly 22 to 27 cubic feet. That equates to about 270 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 67 to 75 sq ft at 4 inches, and about 34 to 38 sq ft at 8 inches; use Hello Gravel's calculator for exact coverage for your material.

Local tri-axle dump trucks commonly deliver around 12 to 14 tons of fill dirt (about 8 to 10 cubic yards), while larger end-dump trucks can carry 18 to 25 tons depending on truck type and local limits. Exact truckloads depend on the supplier and local regulations, so confirm when you request delivery.

Not usually. Fill dirt often settles and can be soft, especially in clay-prone West Georgia soils, so compacting the fill and installing a proper base (and optionally a geotextile) is recommended before adding gravel. Ask your Hello Gravel delivery driver about tailgate spreading and always plan for compaction to avoid future settling.

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.
