Yes. Fill dirt is usually cheaper because it is intended for grading and bulk fill rather than plant growth; it contains less organic matter than topsoil. If you plan to grow grass or plants after grading, you should plan to add several inches of topsoil on top of the fill.

Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks that hold about 10 to 12 tons of fill dirt per load. Smaller single-axle or standard dump trucks hold roughly 6 to 8 tons. Actual capacity depends on truck type and local haul limits.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 324 square feet at 1 inch depth, 108 square feet at 3 inches, or 36 square feet at 9 inches. A ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8 to 1.25 cubic yards depending on moisture and material (plan conservatively). Use the rule: cubic yards needed = (square feet x inches of depth) / 324.

Most full-size pickup beds can carry about 0.5 to 1 cubic yard safely when properly loaded and within payload limits, though heaping changes that. For safety and Hello Gravel's minimum order (3 tons), pickup loads are often impractical for larger projects. If you plan DIY pickup, check your truck's payload rating and local weight limits before hauling.

A cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly a pile 3 feet high by 3 feet wide by 3 feet long. In Newnan, appearance varies by local geology: it can be brownish clay, sandy loam, or mixed subsoil and typically looks denser and less organic than topsoil. Color and texture will reflect regional sourcing and supplier stock.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and regrade yards. For a durable result, place fill in thin lifts, compact between lifts, and finish with several inches of topsoil if you want to seed or plant. Also check drainage and call utility locate services before large grading work.

Delivery cost for a tri-axle load to Newnan depends on material price, distance, and truck availability; delivered loads commonly range from about $200 to $600. Hello Gravel gives upfront, location-based pricing—enter your zip code for an accurate delivered price and available delivery dates.

Use this quick formula: cubic yards needed = (square feet x inches of depth) / 324. For example, to raise a 500 sq ft lawn by 2 inches you need (500 x 2) / 324 = about 3.1 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 4 to 4.5 tons depending on the material. Always order a little extra to allow for compaction and grading.

Buying in bulk reduces unit cost, so order the largest practical quantity for your project and combine deliveries with neighbors if possible. Choose standard delivery (2+ business days) rather than rush delivery, and compare local suppliers through Hello Gravel to find competitive local rates. Remember very cheap fill may contain debris or excessive fines, so balance cost with quality.

Permit requirements depend on the scope of work and local regulations; small backyard grading often does not need a permit, but large fills or changes to drainage may. Check City of Newnan and Coweta County permitting rules and call 811 to locate utilities before starting work. When in doubt, contact local building or planning departments before delivery.

Fill dirt by itself is usually low in organic matter and not ideal for establishing lawns or gardens. After grading with fill dirt, spread 3 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or amended soil on the surface before seeding or planting to get good germination and root growth. Local soils in Newnan can be clayey, so soil amendment may improve results.

Clear the delivery area of obstacles, mark the preferred drop zone, and ensure a flat approach for the dump truck. Call 811 for utility locates, confirm access for a tri-axle truck, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider spreading (this is at their discretion). Allow 2+ business days for standard delivery and review Hello Gravel's delivery notes for any site-specific instructions.
