Griffin’s clay-rich soils and humid subtropical climate increase the risk of slow drainage and longer-term settling because clay holds water and shrinks or swells with moisture changes. Expect slower consolidation after placement, and plan for drainage controls like surface grading, swales, or underdrains to avoid saturated areas. Using well-graded fill and proper compaction reduces future settling and improves drainage.

For load-bearing or structural fills (driveway subgrades, foundations), contractors commonly target 90–95% of Standard Proctor density and compact in 4–6 inch lifts. Typical equipment includes plate compactors and vibratory rollers for small jobs and padfoot or shear-roller (sheepsfoot) compactors for clay-heavy fills; small areas may also use a jumping jack/rammer. Moisture conditioning of the fill is often required in West Georgia clay to achieve target compaction.

Most small deliveries of fill dirt for yard leveling or driveways do not require a permit, but regulations change based on volume, grading, or stormwater impact. If your project alters drainage, exceeds local thresholds for earthmoving, or disturbs more than one acre you may need grading, erosion control, or development permits from the City of Griffin or Spalding County. Before ordering large quantities, contact the Griffin Building Department or Spalding County permitting office to confirm requirements.

For a stable driveway subgrade in Griffin, use compactable fill dirt with a higher percentage of fines (clay and silt) for interlock and compaction, but place a 3–6 inch layer of crushed stone or 3/4" aggregate on top for surface durability and drainage. For yard leveling, use a medium-texture fill (sandy loam or screened fill) that drains better and supports topsoil—avoid pure clay near surface grass areas. If in doubt, order fill dirt for subgrade and top with several inches of topsoil or blend in sand for better drainage.

A temporary fill-dirt driveway in West Georgia can function for a season or several years, but expect rutting, dust, and settling after heavy rains; longevity depends on traffic, drainage, and compaction. Regular maintenance—regrading ruts, adding fresh material, and maintaining drainage—will extend usability. For longer-term drives, upgrade the surface with a compacted stone base.

Calculate volume first: area × depth. For 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches (0.5 ft) that is 500 cubic feet, or 500/27 = about 18.5 cubic yards. Multiply by a typical fill-dirt weight of about 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard (Georgia clay tends toward the higher end), so estimate roughly 22–26 tons; always round up and add 5–10% for settling and compaction. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team for a precise estimate for your site.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. Deliveries are typically tri-axle dump trucks, and drivers will place material where safe; if you need spreading, request it at checkout and note that final assessment happens on arrival. For precise spreading or grading, plan to hire a landscaper or ask your contractor to finish the job after delivery.

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.
