Fill Dirt in Riceboro, GA

Prices vary by supplier and the material's composition, but in Riceboro you can typically expect fill dirt to range roughly from $15 to $45 per ton (or about $8 to $25 per cubic yard). Local geology and moisture content drive price, and truck delivery or minimum-order fees can affect the final cost.

Coverage depends on depth and the dirt's compaction. Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in ft2 * depth in inches) / 324, then convert cubic yards to tons (fill dirt is often about 0.9–1.2 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and composition). For a quick example, 1,000 ft2 at 2 inches deep is about 6.2 cubic yards, which is roughly 6–8 tons of fill dirt in Riceboro conditions.

For basic fill and grading, use clean fill dirt that is low in organic matter so it compacts well. For lawns or planting, place a layer of topsoil or amended soil over the fill because fill dirt alone usually lacks nutrients and organic matter needed for grass or plants, especially in Riceboro's sandy coastal soils.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used by our suppliers carries about 10–14 cubic yards, which usually equates to roughly 12–18 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and material density. Cost for a full truckload in the Riceboro area varies with supplier, but getting a quote through Hello Gravel will show delivered pricing and any applicable fees or minimums.

Generally, fill dirt is less expensive per ton than crushed rock or decorative gravel because it does not require crushing or screening. However, the right material depends on use: gravel is better for drainage and surfaces, while fill dirt is intended for raising and grading ground, so factor in any additional costs like compaction or topsoil for planting.

Order larger quantities to reduce per-ton costs and source locally to avoid long hauling fees; Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers so you get regional pricing. Also compare delivered quotes, schedule during off-peak times if possible, and confirm whether the supplier has low-cost stockpiles or contractor-grade fill that meets your needs.

Hello Gravel's minimum order across our network is 3 tons. If you need less, consider pooling orders with neighbors or ordering a slightly larger quantity and storing the excess properly on-site.

Seeding directly on untreated fill dirt usually gives poor results because fill dirt lacks organic matter and nutrients and may compact or crust over. In Riceboro's sandy soils, we recommend placing 3–4 inches of topsoil or a topsoil/compost mix over the fill, then seed, to ensure good germination and root development.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and regrade yards, but add it in thin lifts (6 inches or less) and compact each lift to prevent future settling. Also plan for drainage—grade away from structures—and finish with topsoil if you plan to plant grass or gardens in Riceboro's coastal environment.

Yes, you can place fill dirt over existing soil, but prepare the area first by removing vegetation, lightly roughening the surface, and avoiding large organic layers that will decompose and cause settling. For lawns, cap the fill with several inches of topsoil before planting to provide nutrients and better moisture retention.

Fill dirt sourced in and around Riceboro can reflect coastal Georgia geology, which may include sandier textures and occasional shell fragments. If you have specific needs—structural fill, low-organic clean fill, or screened material—note that in your order or contact our team so we can match you with a supplier that meets those specs.
