There are several local quarries, landscapers, and dirt yards that supply fill dirt in West Georgia, but availability and minimums vary by supplier. Hello Gravel connects you to trusted local suppliers and haulers and can often arrange smaller contractor orders—enter your zip code or contact our sales team to see who serves Rising Fawn and what minimums apply.

Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324, then multiply cubic yards by the material weight (typically about 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt). For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches is about 12.3 cubic yards or roughly 15–19 tons; at 6 inches it is about 18.5 cubic yards or roughly 22–28 tons.

Yes, screened fill dirt is usually better for building up yards in Rising Fawn because it contains fewer roots, organic matter, and large clods that can decompose or settle. Screened material compacts more predictably and reduces long-term settlement compared with unscreened or mixed fill, which is fine for rough grading but not ideal under final grades or structures.

Fill dirt itself does not improve drainage and can make drainage worse if it increases the natural clay layer near the surface. For heavy rain in West Georgia you should plan positive grading, add gravel or crushed stone layers where needed, and consider drains or swales to move water away from buildings and low spots.

Fill dirt can be compacted for many uses if placed in thin lifts (4–8 inches) and compacted with proper equipment; this works well for small sheds and non-paved areas. For driveway bases, septic systems, or any load-bearing or code-controlled work you may need engineered fill or a structural base (crushed stone) and an engineer or local inspector should confirm compaction requirements.

Local rules can affect delivery: check with Rising Fawn city offices, Dade County public works, or your HOA for any restrictions on heavy trucks, street access, or offloading locations. Also advise us of narrow roads, low bridges, steep driveways, or protected driveways during checkout so the hauler can plan a safe delivery.

Expect some settlement in the first 6–24 months, especially over clay soils and where organics were present; screened and well-compacted fill will settle less. Homeowners often need minor touch-ups or regrading after major storms or a few seasons, while properly engineered and compacted fills tend to require less frequent maintenance.

Deliveries are commonly made with dump trucks such as tri-axle trucks; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, but local suppliers may prefer or require full-truck loads depending on distance and site access. If you have a small access point or need a specific truck size, note that in checkout or call our team so we can match the right hauler to your site.

For landscaping, mix a top layer of topsoil over screened fill dirt so plants have nutrients and drainage; do not use raw fill dirt alone for planting. For hardscape bases like driveways or patios, do not rely on fill dirt—use compacted crushed stone or gravel base and only use well-compacted fill dirt as a subgrade when specified by an engineer.

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