Fill Dirt in Leesburg, GA

Fill dirt is soil with low organic matter intended to build grade, raise yards, or create compactable bases. In Leesburg, where native soils are often clay, fill dirt is used for building pads, leveling yards, and under foundations or driveways where a stable, compactable layer is needed. It is not a topsoil substitute for planting; always add topsoil where you want grass or gardens.

For estimation, use about 1.2 to 1.6 tons of fill dirt per cubic yard, depending on moisture and compaction. Clay soils in Leesburg tend to compact and settle, so plan for the higher end of the range and add a 5-10% allowance for settlement when ordering.

A common buildup for an unpaved residential driveway is 4 to 8 inches of compacted fill dirt over the subgrade. For a 10-foot by 50-foot driveway at 6 inches depth you need roughly 9 cubic yards, which equals about 11 to 14 tons using the 1.2-1.6 tons/yd3 estimate. Always round up and confirm with our calculator or a contractor for site-specific conditions.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons; most local suppliers and haulers use tri-axle dump trucks for standard deliveries. Tri-axle trucks commonly deliver a full load that ranges from about 12 to 18 tons depending on local equipment, so partial loads are available but may have higher per-ton prices or minimum fees.

Delivery and dump fees depend on supplier location, haul distance, and access at your property. Hello Gravel shows delivery cost at checkout and many West Georgia ZIP codes qualify for free standard delivery; next-day or long-haul deliveries may incur an extra fee, which is displayed before you pay.

Yes, many regional suppliers provide screened or engineered compactable fill blends suitable for residential use, but availability varies by supplier and location. When ordering through Hello Gravel, request "screened" or "compactable" in the product or Order Notes and our team will match you with local suppliers that carry that product.

Fill dirt can compact well if it is the right blend and installed in lifts with adequate compaction equipment. Leesburg's native clay retains moisture and may require engineered fill, thicker lifts, or incorporation of granular material to achieve a stable base; consult a contractor for heavy loads or structures.

Yes, seasonal factors can affect price and availability. Wet winters can increase hauling difficulty and reduced access, sometimes raising delivery fees or delaying service, while summer droughts can lower moisture and temporarily ease handling; Hello Gravel will display current local pricing and lead times when you order.

Fill dirt is useful for building and reshaping slopes but is not ideal as a final erosion-control surface because it has low organic content and poor vegetation support. For long-term erosion control on Leesburg slopes, topsoil, seed or sod, erosion control blankets, and engineered solutions are usually recommended on top of properly compacted fill.

Yes; septic leach fields and some utility trenches usually require specific backfill materials like clean sand or tested granular fill rather than generic fill dirt. Before ordering, check with the Lee County Health Department and your installer, and note any required material specs in your Hello Gravel order so we can match appropriate suppliers.

Longevity depends on traffic, drainage, compaction quality, and the underlying clay soils. For a well-compacted base used by typical residential traffic, expect 3 to 7 years before minor regrading or topping may be required; paved driveways with a proper base can last significantly longer when drainage and compaction are done correctly.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
