Fill Dirt in Peachtree Corners, GA

Delivered screened fill dirt in Peachtree Corners usually runs about $10 to $22 per cubic yard, which translates roughly to $8 to $17 per ton depending on moisture and density. Prices vary with screening, haul distance, site access, and whether the material contains clay or organics. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can provide a local delivered quote for your exact address.

You can buy fill dirt from local quarries, landscaping yards, and hauling companies that serve Peachtree Corners and Gwinnett County. Hello Gravel connects you to vetted local suppliers and contracted dump-truck haulers and schedules delivery on your chosen date. Deliveries are typically made by tri-axle dump trucks, so check access and turning room before ordering.

Contractors in the Peachtree Corners area usually place fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to reduce settlement. They may moisture-condition the fill to improve compaction and use geotextile fabric over very soft or organic soils. For load-bearing pads or driveway bases, contractors switch to engineered structural fill or crusher run rather than plain fill dirt.

Peachtree Corners sits on Georgia soils that often have a significant clay content, which holds water and can slow drainage after heavy rain. That means fill dirt can get soft and settle more after storms; good grading, positive slopes, and surface drainage provisions (swales or drains) are important. If you need stable, well-draining material near the surface, top the fill with gravel or use engineered fill to minimize wet-weather problems.

Rules vary: the City of Peachtree Corners and Gwinnett County may require permits for significant grading, driveways, or changes to stormwater patterns, and many HOAs restrict visible bare dirt, stockpiles, or changes to front yards. Before ordering, contact the City of Peachtree Corners permitting office and your HOA to confirm requirements and any driveway or curb-cut permits. Hello Gravel can help time deliveries once you have approvals but cannot obtain permits for you.

For 1,000 sq ft, a 4-inch depth is about 12.35 cubic yards and a 6-inch depth is about 18.52 cubic yards. Using a typical local conversion (about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for compacted Georgia fill), expect roughly 15 to 17 tons for 4 inches and about 22 to 26 tons for 6 inches. Exact tonnage depends on moisture, compaction, and whether the material is screened or mixed with clay.

Fill dirt is mostly subsoil used to raise grade or backfill and is not intended as a structural base; it often has fines and clay. Crusher run is a mix of crushed stone and stone dust that compacts well and is commonly used as a base for driveways and pads. Clean gravel (washed, with little to no fines) drains well and is used for surface layers and drainage but generally needs an underlying compactable base for load-bearing uses.

Fill dirt placed and compacted properly will function for years as subgrade or to raise elevation, but expect some settlement during the first 6 to 24 months, especially after heavy rains. If the fill is used as a surface, it will erode and rut more quickly and typically needs regrading, topping, or vegetation within 1 to 3 years depending on use. For longer life, compact in lifts, manage surface drainage, and cover the area with gravel, sod, or other finish material.

Mark utility lines before delivery, confirm truck access and overhead clearances, and let your supplier know any gate or HOA instructions in advance. Request delivery placement preferences in the order notes, be aware tailgate spreading is at the driver's discretion, and plan for compaction and drainage after the material is placed. If you want help, use Hello Gravel to get local quotes and to coordinate delivery timing and materials for your project.
