Fill Dirt in Glenwood, GA

Yes. Fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel because it is less processed and often sourced from excavation sites nearby. In Glenwood and West Georgia you will usually pay less per cubic yard for fill dirt than for decorative or crushed stone, but prices vary by supplier and delivery distance.

Prices vary, but in West Georgia delivered fill dirt commonly ranges from about $10 to $30 per cubic yard depending on material quality, moisture, and distance. For an exact price, check availability for your Glenwood zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local quote since minimum orders and delivery fees can affect total cost.

One cubic yard of fill dirt equals 27 cubic feet and fits roughly into a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube. Weight varies with moisture and clay content, but fill dirt in this region typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard.

Coverage depends on depth. One ton of fill dirt (roughly 0.75–0.85 cubic yards in Glenwood soil conditions) will cover about 80–110 sq ft at 3 inches of depth; it will cover proportionally more area at shallower depths and less at deeper fills.

Calculate volume by area times depth. For 1,000 sq ft at 3 inches deep you need about 9.3 cubic yards, at 4 inches about 12.3 cubic yards, and at 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards. Use these numbers to get price estimates from local suppliers and remember compaction will reduce loose volume slightly.

Depends on width and required depth. For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway you would need about 1.85 cubic yards at 3 inches, about 2.5 cubic yards at 4 inches, and about 3.7 cubic yards at 6 inches. If you plan to grow grass or set pavers on top, add topsoil where needed since fill dirt is not ideal for plant growth.

It depends on the truck. Many full‑size pickups can safely carry about 0.5 to 1.0 cubic yards of loose dirt in the bed; carrying a full cubic yard may be possible with the tailgate down but could exceed payload limits. For orders above Hello Gravel's minimum (3 tons) and to avoid overloading, delivery by dump truck is the recommended option in Glenwood.

One cubic yard looks roughly like a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube or a pile about 3–4 feet high with a small footprint when heaped. In West Georgia fill dirt often has a reddish or brown clayey appearance and packs fairly dense compared to topsoil.

A common tri‑axle dump truck used by Hello Gravel typically carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose material, though local trucks may vary. Weight limits and the type of dirt (wet clay is heavier) can limit how much a driver will legally load, so capacity is given as a range.

No. Fill dirt is intended for grading and structural fills, not for plant growth. To establish grass you need a few inches (4–6 inches or more) of quality topsoil on top of any fill dirt because fill dirt lacks organic matter and nutrients grass requires.

Yes, buying bulk is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than buying bagged soil. Bulk delivery through Hello Gravel reduces packaging and handling costs, but remember there is a minimum order and delivery logistics to consider for Glenwood properties.

A rough estimate: with trucks holding 10–14 cubic yards and local fill dirt prices of about $10–$30 per cubic yard, a truckload in West Georgia could range roughly $100 to $420 before any delivery fees.

Buying in bulk from local suppliers and scheduling delivery through a marketplace like Hello Gravel is usually the most cost‑effective option. Check nearby construction or excavation sources for available fill dirt, compare local quotes, and factor in hauling costs and material suitability for your project.

Coverage varies by depth: at 1 inch one ton will cover roughly 250–320 sq ft; at 3 inches about 80–110 sq ft; and at 6 inches about 40–55 sq ft, depending on how compact the material is. Since Glenwood soils can be clayey and heavier, expect the lower end of these ranges for weight‑to‑volume calculations.
