Why Oakwood Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Oakwood homeowners (population 9,770) are seeing steady demand for yard, foundation, and driveway work as local development keeps pace with a 2.10% annual growth rate and the broader West Georgia metro (metro area population 2.3+ million). With a temperate Hardiness Zone 8b, about 228 sunny days per year, and roughly 34.00 inches of rain annually, Oakwood’s climate supports year-round landscaping but also creates shifting topsoil and seasonal runoff that need reliable material to correct. That makes fill dirt a common request for grading, backfill, and building up low areas. Homeowners choose fill dirt when they need an economical, compactable base that minimizes settling and erosion when properly installed, and they expect clear specs, dependable delivery, and easy quantity estimates for successful projects.Popular Projects in Oakwood This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Oakwood Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Oakwood.
Delivered fill dirt in the West Georgia area typically ranges from about $12 to $25 per ton, depending on supplier, moisture content, and distance from the source. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and many local deliveries include a delivery charge or free delivery depending on your zip code and the supplier; check your quote for exact pricing.
Choose a low-organic, well-graded fill dirt (often called clean fill or select fill) with minimal topsoil or vegetation for structural fills and grading. In Oakwood's heavy clay, combine that compactable fill with a properly compacted base of crushed stone under driveways and ensure good slope and drainage to avoid water retention.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need roughly 6.2 cubic yards (about 7 to 8 tons); for 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards (about 14 to 15 tons), using a common conversion of ~1.2 tons per cubic yard. Order 10 to 15 percent extra to allow for compaction and settling, so plan on about 8 to 17 tons total.
Fill dirt itself can compact and hold moisture in Oakwood's rainy periods, especially over clay subsoils, so drainage prep is important. Install positive grading, consider perimeter drains or French drains where water concentrates, and use coarser base materials under driveways so water can move away from the fill.
When properly placed and compacted as part of a structural base, fill dirt under a driveway should perform for many years without needing replacement. The surface gravel or top dressing may need refreshing every 2 to 7 years depending on traffic and weather, but properly engineered subgrade rarely needs frequent replenishment.
Common alternatives include select engineered fill, crushed stone or crusher run, sand, and controlled low-strength material (flowable fill). Crushed stone and engineered fills typically cost more per ton than generic fill dirt but provide better drainage and load-bearing performance; sand can be comparable or higher depending on supply, so weigh performance needs against cost.
Acceptance varies by permit type and inspector: many building departments require structural or compaction-tested fill for foundation backfill rather than generic fill dirt. For projects requiring permits in Oakwood or Hall County, check with the local building office before ordering and be prepared to provide compaction testing or use specified material.
Local sources include area quarries, landscape suppliers, and aggregate yards serving the West Georgia area; Hello Gravel connects you with nearby, vetted suppliers and haulers. Typical delivery is by dump truck (often tri-axle), with standard delivery in 2+ business days, next-day delivery available for earlier cutoffs, a 3-ton minimum, and optional tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
