Fill Dirt in Port Wentworth, GA

Fill dirt is native soil (usually low in organic material) used to raise or level ground, fill holes, and build berms. In Port Wentworth it’s commonly used for backyard grading, filling ruts, and creating a base under lawn or hardscape; it is not typically recommended as a finished driveway surface because it can wash or compact differently than gravel.

Prices vary by supplier, truck access, and quantity, but delivered fill dirt in Port Wentworth typically runs roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard (about $10 to $22 per ton) depending on moisture, compaction, and order size. Exact pricing is quoted at checkout; Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and can show local supplier rates for your zip code.

Yes. Local suppliers commonly reduce the per-ton or per-cubic-yard price on larger loads, with noticeable savings once you hit roughly 10 tons or more. For specific tiered pricing, request a quote through Hello Gravel so we can check local supplier rates and any delivery savings for your area.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose material, which for fill dirt typically equates to roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Smaller straight trucks or single-axle trucks hold less; check the truck type listed on your Hello Gravel delivery estimate for exact capacity.

Yes, small-site fees, narrow-access charges, or off-street placement fees may apply if a truck must maneuver in tight spaces or if the supplier needs special equipment. These charges commonly range from about $25 to $75 or more depending on the situation; Hello Gravel will flag potential access issues and list any applicable fees before you confirm the order.

A single tri-axle load (10–14 cubic yards) of fill dirt delivered to a Port Wentworth residence will depend on material and delivery fees, but expect a rough delivered cost in the low hundreds to several hundred dollars. The final price depends on supplier rates, site access, and any small-site or next-day delivery fees; request a quote for an exact number.

Fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than crushed stone or gravel, so for simple yard leveling it often costs less overall. For driveways or areas needing drainage and long-term stability, gravel plus proper base and compaction is typically the better choice—even if the material is more expensive—because fill dirt can rut and hold water in Port Wentworth’s coastal and clay-influenced soils.

Use these approximate coverage numbers (Port Wentworth soil densities vary): 1 cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4". Using a typical conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.3 tons, 1 ton of fill dirt covers roughly 125 sq ft at 2", 83 sq ft at 3", and 62 sq ft at 4"; always order a little extra for settling and compaction.

A 12' x 40' area (480 sq ft) at 3" depth requires about 4.5 cubic yards of fill dirt, which is roughly 5.5 to 6 tons depending on moisture. Based on typical local rates, delivered cost for that amount could range from about $60 to $135, depending on supplier pricing, truck type, and any access or small-site fees; get a precise quote on Hello Gravel for your address.

Most local suppliers can do same-week deliveries when inventory and schedules allow; standard Hello Gravel delivery is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading and compaction may be offered by some suppliers for an additional charge (commonly $50 to $200+), but spreading is at the driver’s discretion and compaction often requires separate equipment and a contractor.

Yes. Port Wentworth sits near coastal floodplains and often has a high water table and clay soils; these conditions affect drainage and settling, so you may need engineered fill, proper compaction, and permits for large or structural fills. Also plan deliveries around wet seasons to avoid muddy site access and excessive settlement; contact local permitting and Hello Gravel for guidance on best practices.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
