Fill Dirt in Richmond Hill, GA

Yes. Fill dirt is generally less expensive than decorative gravel or crushed stone because it is unprocessed soil with little to no rock or finished grading. Prices in Richmond Hill vary by supplier and haul distance, so use our quote tool to compare local rates before you order.

Costs vary by supplier, delivery distance, moisture and availability, but typical local ranges are roughly $10 to $30 per ton or about $15 to $40 per cubic yard.

Our contracted tri-axle dump trucks commonly deliver about 10 to 14 cubic yards per load, which translates roughly to 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Exact capacity depends on the truck, local load limits, and material density, so we confirm load size when you place the order.

Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth inches) / 324. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep needs about 12.3 cubic yards (roughly 15 to 20 tons depending on compaction). Enter your exact area and desired depth in our calculator for a precise estimate.

Most full-size pickups can carry about 1/2 to 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt safely in the bed, depending on make and legal load limits. For larger projects, using a dump truck delivery is safer, faster, and usually more cost effective than multiple pickup trips.

One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube (27 cubic feet). Visually, it fills a space roughly the size of a medium refrigerator laid on its side, which helps when planning staging and delivery space in Richmond Hill yards.

That depends on your wheelbarrow size, but a typical contractor wheelbarrow (about 3 cu ft) means one cubic yard equals about 9 wheelbarrow loads. Smaller home wheelbarrows will require more trips, so plan accordingly if moving material by hand.

Coverage varies with density, but using a common conversion, one ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8 to 1.0 cubic yards. That will cover about 60 to 80 sq ft at a 4-inch depth; use the volume formula (324/D) to calculate exact coverage for other depths.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used by our haulers will usually carry about 12 to 18 tons of fill dirt, depending on moisture, compaction and local weight limits. We confirm expected tonnage for your specific delivery when you request a quote for Richmond Hill.

You can, but it usually requires proper preparation: compact the fill dirt, add a graded base or geotextile if drainage or soft spots are a concern, and then add a layer of crushed stone for stability. Richmond Hill's coastal soils can settle, so compacting and a suitable base layer reduce future rutting and settling.

Yes. Fill dirt is typically cheaper than topsoil because it lacks organic material and is intended for bulk grading and backfill rather than planting. If you need planting beds or lawn installation, budget for topsoil on top of your fill dirt where needed.
