Fill Dirt in jekyllisland, GA

Prices vary by supplier, truck distance, and material type, but expect roughly $8 to $30 per cubic yard (about $10 to $35 per ton) delivered in the Georgia coastal region. Final cost depends on haul distance to Jekyll Island, access limitations, and any required permits or disposal fees. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for an exact quote and minimum order requirements.

You may need permits for major grading, filling near dunes, wetlands, or when altering drainage; Jekyll Island is managed by the Jekyll Island Authority and has specific rules for coastal and protected areas. Always check with the Jekyll Island Authority and Glynn County building department before ordering to avoid fines or rework. Smaller homeowner projects often have fewer requirements, but confirming first is the safest step.

Coverage depends on depth. Using a common estimate (about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard), 1 ton is roughly 0.75 cubic yards and will cover about 250 square feet at 1 inch depth or about 25 square feet at 6 inches. For accurate planning, calculate in cubic yards and use Hello Gravel’s material calculator to convert to tons for delivery.

Truck sizes vary by hauler, but a typical tri-axle dump truck used by our network carries about 10 to 14 tons of fill dirt. Smaller single-axle trucks and larger belly dumps or end-dumps may carry different amounts, and access on Jekyll Island (road width, turning radius) can affect which truck is used. Hello Gravel shows truck type and estimated tons when you request a quote.

Fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than gravel because it is screened subsoil without decorative value. However, gravel might be required for drainage or structural reasons, and using the wrong material can increase long-term costs on coastal sites. Choose material based on function—use fill dirt for mass grading and gravel where drainage or compaction is needed.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request this service at checkout and the driver will assess if it can be done safely upon arrival. Because of safety, access, and equipment limits, Hello Gravel cannot guarantee spreading services, so plan for manual or machine spreading if you need precise placement. If spreading is required, note it in your order and consider hiring a local contractor for guaranteed spreading and compaction.

Coastal sandy soils and high water tables on Jekyll Island increase the risk of settlement and erosion unless the fill is properly placed and compacted. For stable results, place fill in lifts, compact between lifts, use geotextile or retaining structures where needed, and address drainage to avoid washout during storms. Consult a contractor for elevation raises near dunes, marshes, or structures to ensure long-term stability.

Buying in bulk, ordering the correct quantity, and comparing local suppliers usually yields the best price per cubic yard. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and delivery fees for Jekyll Island, schedule during normal delivery windows, and avoid last-minute rushes that add fees. Be cautious of “free” fill offers—they can contain contaminated or unsuitable material that costs more to remediate.

Measure the length and width of the area and the desired depth in inches, then use the formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. Convert cubic yards to tons using an approximate conversion of 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, and add 10-20% extra for compaction and settling. For a precise quote, upload your measurements in Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team for help.

Yes—Jekyll Island has sensitive habitats, sea turtle nesting areas, marshes, and tidal zones that can be affected by fill placement. Time work to avoid nesting seasons, use silt control and erosion measures, and get approvals for work near wetlands or dunes. If you’re unsure, contact the Jekyll Island Authority or a local environmental consultant before ordering material.

Regional sourcing means coastal fill dirt around Jekyll Island may include shells, sand, and organic fragments that reflect local geology. These inclusions can affect compaction, drainage, and suitability for certain uses; if you need clean, screened fill, request that specifically when ordering. Add material preferences or notes at checkout so suppliers can match your expectations.

Standard delivery windows are typically 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.
