Fill Dirt in mcintyre, GA

Fill dirt is native soil with minimal organic matter used to raise or level ground. In McIntyre you typically use it to build up low areas, grade around foundations, or create a base for lawns and structures where good drainage and bearing capacity are not the primary requirements.

Prices change with supply, season, and truck access, so local, up-to-date quotes are best. Typical delivered ranges in West Georgia are often modest compared with specialty aggregates, but we recommend checking Hello Gravel for real-time pricing and to compare per-ton and per-yard rates for your McIntyre zip code.

Hello Gravel lists a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery charges depend on distance, truck type, and access; free delivery is available in many areas but not guaranteed for all McIntyre locations.

Use the area-times-depth method: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in feet) / 27. For example, a 20x30 (600 ft2) pad raised 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about 11.1 cubic yards, roughly 13 tons (using ~1.2 tons/yd3). A 10x20 (200 ft2) pad at 6 inches needs about 3.7 cubic yards, roughly 4.5 tons; always order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and settlement.

Compact fill dirt in shallow lifts (4-8 inches) using a vibratory plate compactor for small areas and a small roller for larger areas. Keep material slightly moist for best compaction and consider renting a compaction contractor if you need engineered compaction; labor and equipment costs vary locally so get quotes from local contractors through Hello Gravel or the county trade networks.

Fill dirt by itself usually has poor drainage, especially on clay-heavy sites common in central Georgia, so it is not the best material for drainage layers or frost protection. For driveways and pads in McIntyre, combine fill dirt for grade build-up with a drainage layer of crushed stone or pipe and geotextile fabric to manage runoff and prevent saturation.

Use fill dirt to raise low areas and achieve desired grades, but choose crushed stone or gravel as the wearing surface for driveways because they drain and compact better. Construction sand is useful for leveling and bedding but is not a good structural base under heavy loads in McIntyre without rock base underneath.

A raw fill-dirt surface will rut and erode quickly under vehicle traffic and seasonal rains, so it requires regular grading and topdressing. Longevity improves dramatically when topped with crushed stone; you should expect to regrade or refresh the surface seasonally to annually depending on traffic and weather.

Yes. Hello Gravel works with local West Georgia suppliers and haulers that often offer screened or select fill dirt and can flag available spreading and compaction services. Request those services in the Order Notes and confirm with the supplier and driver before delivery since spreading and compaction are performed at driver or supplier discretion.

Permits and requirements vary by project and location; grading, work near streams or wetlands, septic modifications, and large fills may require county permits or erosion control measures in Wilkinson County. Contact the Wilkinson County Building and Planning office before major grading work and use silt fences, straw wattles, or temporary seeding to control erosion during wet months.

Common trucks are tri-axle end-dumps; belly-dump trucks may be used for spreading but are less common in tight or steep rural drives. Expect limitations from narrow drives, overhead lines, soft shoulders, and steep grades—send photos or note access constraints in the order to avoid extra fees or delays.

Enter your zip code on Hello Gravel to see availability, choose Fill Dirt, set the delivery date, and include Order Notes about access, desired placement, and whether you need screened material or spreading. Helpful details for accurate quotes include pad dimensions, estimated depth, driveway grade, photos of the site, and any obstacles for the truck.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
