Fill Dirt in Lilburn, GA

Delivered fill dirt prices in Lilburn typically vary based on truck size, local supplier rates, and moisture content; expect a rough range of $15 to $40 per ton delivered for common non-engineered fill dirt. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and regional pricing, so your exact cost will appear at checkout; call our team for a local quote and any spreading fees.

For driveway subgrade in Lilburn, contractors usually prefer clean, well-draining engineered fill or stone over plain fill dirt because local clay holds water and can cause settling. For bulk backyard grading, raising beds, or filling low spots, screened fill dirt is fine for landscaping, but finish with topsoil where you plan to plant.

Plain fill dirt alone does not improve drainage on West Georgia's heavy clay; adding granular material (gravel or crushed stone) or installing subsurface drains is usually needed to move water away. Use fill dirt to reshape grades, then incorporate drainage solutions or a free-draining base where standing water is a problem.

Small deliveries for routine yard work generally do not trigger permits, but significant changes to grades, filling wetlands, or work that affects stormwater may require permits from the City of Lilburn or Gwinnett County. Always check with Lilburn Building and Planning before large fills; Hello Gravel can remind you to verify local rules when you order.

Use this quick guide: to raise 1,000 sq ft by 4" you need about 15 tons; by 6" about 22.5 tons; by 12" about 44.5 tons. For your own area, multiply square feet by depth (in inches) and then by 0.003704 to get tons, or use Hello Gravel's material calculator for an instant estimate.

Lilburn's hot, humid climate speeds organic breakdown in unclean fill and increases seasonal moisture swings, which can lead to settling and minor movement, especially in clay soils. Proper compaction, using low-organic fill, and correct grading reduce future settlement and help the fill perform longer in our climate.

For driveways, crushed stone is a better structural base than fill dirt because it drains and compacts predictably; fill dirt is best used for bulk raising and grading. For establishing lawns or gardens after grading, topsoil or a topsoil mix is needed on top of fill dirt to support plant growth.

Many local suppliers in the West Georgia network offer screened fill dirt and can coordinate compaction through partner contractors, but services vary by supplier. Hello Gravel's standard delivery is 2+ business days with next-day possible if ordered before noon CST; ask at checkout about screened or compacted options and lead times for installation.

Well-compacted fill used beneath driveways or behind foundations usually needs little routine maintenance, but expect some settling in the first one to three years that may require topping up. Lifespan depends on compaction quality and moisture—properly prepared fill can perform for decades, while loose or organic-rich fill may need repairs sooner.

Spring and summer are busy seasons for landscaping and construction in West Georgia, which can mean longer lead times and slightly higher prices; late fall and winter may offer quieter schedules and easier site access. Regardless of season, book early, and avoid very wet days for delivery to minimize tracking and compaction issues on site.

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