Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel because it is unscreened soil used for raising grade rather than finished stone. If you only need to build up or level ground in Rhine, fill dirt is the more economical option, but gravel is better for drainage and driveways.

Coverage depends on depth: one ton of typical Georgia fill dirt covers roughly 40 to 60 square feet at a 1-inch depth and about 13 to 20 square feet at a 3-inch depth. For grading or raising soil you usually calculate by cubic yards, but Hello Gravel's material calculator can convert your project dimensions to tons for Rhine deliveries.

One cubic yard is a stack about 3 feet long by 3 feet wide by 3 feet high, roughly the size of a large washing machine. In Rhine, local fill dirt often has a reddish-brown clay appearance and may compact noticeably once placed.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used by Hello Gravel suppliers carry about 10 to 12 tons of fill dirt (roughly 6 to 8 cubic yards), depending on local regulations and moisture content. If you need more, orders are priced per ton and multiple truckloads can be scheduled.

A single truckload cost depends on tonnage and distance, but in West Georgia expect ballpark costs from $120 to $300 for the material plus delivery; Hello Gravel shows the exact delivered price at checkout for your Rhine zip code. Costs rise with longer haul, heavy clay content, or next-day delivery requests.

A typical small pickup bed holds about 0.5 to 1 cubic yard safely, so one full cubic yard may overfill many pickups and should be transported carefully. For Rhine jobs, we recommend ordering by the ton and using a dump truck delivery to avoid overloading personal vehicles.

Fill dirt compacts over time and under load; you can expect initial settlement of several percent and more if the fill is placed in loose lifts without compaction. In Rhine's clay-rich soils, compacting each 6-8 inch lift and controlling moisture reduces future settlement.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and level yards, but for a finished lawn you should cap fill dirt with 3-4 inches of topsoil or screened soil for planting grass. Because West Georgia soils can be clayey, adding organic matter and proper grading improves drainage and lawn establishment.

Yes, compacting fill dirt before placing gravel is important to prevent future sinking and uneven surfaces. In Rhine, compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller and check moisture—soil that is too dry or too wet will not compact well.

You can place gravel over compacted fill dirt for driveways or paths, but you should install a compacted base and geotextile fabric where drainage or heavy traffic is expected. Because Rhine soils may retain moisture, a stable compacted base helps prevent rutting and washouts.

Raising 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches requires about 7.5 cubic yards or roughly 10 to 12 tons depending on local soil density. Using typical West Georgia delivered rates ($12-$25 per ton) you can expect material costs between about $120 and $300, plus delivery—get a exact quote in Hello Gravel checkout for your Rhine address.

Measure the area and depth: tons needed = area (sq ft) x depth (ft) x 100 / 2000 (approx), or use Hello Gravel's calculator. For example, to raise a 500 sq ft area by 4 inches you need about 6.7 cubic yards, roughly 9 to 12 tons; always order a bit extra for compaction and grading.

Include driveway width, desired drop location, any obstacles (gates, low-hanging wires), and a note if you want the driver to consider tailgate spreading. Remember drivers may spread at their discretion and Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and 2+ business days notice for standard delivery.

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

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.
