Fill Dirt in Palmetto, GA

Prices vary by supplier and material, but in Palmetto a typical range is about $12 to $35 per cubic yard or roughly $10 to $30 per ton depending on moisture, screening, and local supply. Delivery, distance, and whether the dirt is screened or mixed with clay can move the price up or down. For an exact price, check your zip code in our quote tool or contact our team.

Most local tri-axle dump trucks carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of fill dirt, and a single truck delivery to Palmetto typically costs between $150 and $700 depending on the load size, material price, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days; final cost is provided at checkout after you enter your address.

Yes, in most cases fill dirt is cheaper than gravel because it is a base material with less processing and no stone sizing. Fill dirt is best for raising grade and backfill, while gravel (crushed stone) costs more and is used where drainage and load-bearing are needed. Choose the material that matches your project needs to avoid overspending.

Coverage depends on how deep you spread it, but as a rule of thumb one ton of fill dirt will cover about 60 to 70 square feet at 4 inches deep and roughly 250 to 300 square feet at 1 inch deep. Actual coverage varies with compaction and moisture content, so use our online calculator or add 10-20% extra for settling and compaction. Contact us with your project dimensions and we can estimate for you.

Buy in bulk (truckload) from a local supplier to minimize per-unit price and delivery fees, and schedule standard delivery when possible to avoid rush charges. Stick with standard, unscreened fill dirt rather than specialty mixes, and use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and find competitive quotes. Also confirm site access and delivery placement to prevent extra charges on arrival.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network will deliver about 10 to 16 tons of fill dirt, depending on the material density and local road weight limits. Some smaller straight trucks or larger end-dumps will carry different amounts, so Hello Gravel confirms the truck type and expected payload when you order. If you need a specific tonnage, request truck details on the order.

Fill dirt works well for raising grade and filling low spots, but in Palmetto's Georgia clay soils you should compact in lifts and be mindful of drainage. Fill dirt is not a planting medium—add topsoil for lawns, gardens, and planting beds to ensure fertility and proper root growth. If drainage is a concern after heavy rains, consider engineered fill or adding sand/gravel in specific areas.

Small residential deliveries usually do not require a permit, but large fills, changes to drainage patterns, or work near streams and storm systems may trigger Palmetto or Fulton County permitting and erosion-control requirements. Check local ordinances or consult the city planning department before large deliveries to avoid fines or required remediation. If you are unsure, contact our team and we can point you to local resources.

Hello Gravel uses contracted tri-axle trucks and requires 2+ business days for standard delivery, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST (extra fee). Tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout, but do not assume it will be performed. Mark access routes, confirm drop location in Order Notes, and plan for compaction after delivery.

Measure the length, width, and desired depth in inches, then use the conversion: cubic yards = (length x width x depth in inches) / 324. Add 10-20% for compaction and settling, then convert to tons by requesting a supplier estimate since densities vary. If you prefer, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for a quick estimate.

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.
