Why Shannon Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Shannon has a city population of 1,257 and sits within a metro area of 2.3+ million, with an annual growth rate of 2.10% that is driving steady demand for residential building, yard regrading, and outdoor projects. The local climate — Hardiness Zone 8b, about 228 sunny days per year, and annual rainfall of 34.00 inches — supports year-round landscaping but also means properties need reliable grading and drainage to handle storms and runoff. As lots are developed or renovated, homeowners in Shannon look for dependable aggregates to create stable grades, prevent erosion, and support driveways and foundations. Quality fill dirt helps avoid uneven settling and reduces the chance of water pooling after heavy rains, making it a practical choice for many common homeowner projects.Popular Projects in Shannon This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Shannon Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Shannon.
Yes. In the Shannon area fill dirt is typically less expensive per ton than decorative gravel because it is lower-grade material used for grade build-up rather than finished surfaces. Prices vary by supplier and delivery, so check quotes on Hello Gravel to compare local rates.
Prices in West Georgia around Shannon commonly range, but you can expect roughly $10 to $25 per ton for basic fill dirt delivered, depending on moisture, contamination, and local supplier. Exact pricing is available through Hello Gravel quotes and may require a 3-ton minimum order.
Most Hello Gravel deliveries use tri-axle trucks that carry about 12 to 16 tons; multiply the per-ton price by the truck tonnage and add any delivery fee to estimate cost. For a quick ballpark, a single delivered tri-axle load often ends up in the low hundreds to a few hundred dollars in the Shannon area, but request a local quote for an accurate total.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used by our suppliers carries about 12 to 16 tons of fill dirt. Smaller local trucks can carry 6 to 10 tons and larger end-dumps can carry 18 to 24 tons, so confirm truck size when you order.
One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8 cubic yards, so coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb: at 1 inch depth one ton covers about 260 sq ft, at 3 inches about 86 sq ft, and at 6 inches about 43 sq ft. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a precise estimate based on your desired depth.
To lower cost in Shannon, order larger volumes (price per ton often drops with volume), choose local suppliers to avoid long hauls, and schedule during off-peak delivery windows. Picking up material yourself or comparing multiple Hello Gravel quotes can also save money.
If the fill is for structural work (near foundations, driveways, or load-bearing areas), compaction and sometimes geotechnical testing are recommended and may be required by local code. For simple yard grade or low-load backfill, standard placement and light compaction is usually sufficient; consult a local contractor for site-specific advice.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess whether it can be done safely on arrival.
Materials vary by regional source. In West Georgia around Shannon fill dirt commonly contains clay and may have some fines; reputable suppliers try to limit organic material in fill dirt, but composition can vary so note any preferences in your Hello Gravel order notes and ask for specifics when you get a quote.
Measure the area in square feet and decide the fill depth in feet, then multiply area by depth to get cubic feet and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about 18.5 cubic yards, which is roughly 22 tons of fill dirt using a common conversion; use our online calculator or contact Hello Gravel for help with your exact numbers.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
