Fill Dirt in Statham, GA

Fill dirt is inexpensive, granular native soil used to raise or level ground, fill low spots, and build up grades before landscaping or construction. In Statham and West Georgia it often contains clay and native subsoil; it is not topsoil, so it lacks organic matter for planting and is best used under lawns, driveways, or building pads.

Typical delivered prices in West Georgia generally run in the range of about $10 to $25 per ton, depending on supplier availability, haul distance, and seasonal demand. For a firm price and delivery fee for Statham, request a quote through Hello Gravel since local sourcing and truck routing affect the final rate.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is generally 3 tons, and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days. Same-day deliveries depend on local supplier and truck availability; next-day delivery is often available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee.

In clay-heavy areas around Statham, consider fill mixes with coarser material or added sand/gravel to improve drainage under structures and driveways. For landscape fills, contractors often place native fill dirt in layers and add a drainage layer or geotextile where saturation is a concern; ask suppliers about 'engineered fill' if you need stronger, drained fills.

Use this quick method: area (sq ft) x depth (ft) ÷ 27 = cubic yards, then multiply cubic yards by about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt. Example: to raise 500 sq ft by 6 inches (0.5 ft): 500 x 0.5 ÷ 27 = 9.26 cubic yards ≈ 11.1 tons. For larger or critical grades, get a site-specific calculation from our team.

Contractors typically place fill in 6- to 12-inch lifts, moisture-condition it, and compact each lift with a plate compactor or small roller to achieve stable density. Costs vary with access and equipment—expect commonly $0.25 to $1.00 per square foot for surface compaction on residential projects; request local bids for exact pricing.

Small residential deliveries usually do not require a permit, but larger fills, changes to drainage patterns, or work near streams and wetlands can require city or county approval. Check with the City of Statham and Barrow County building or planning department before placing large orders to confirm any grading, stormwater, or erosion-control requirements.

Fill dirt can stabilize low spots but is not a long-term erosion-control finish on steep slopes by itself; clay-rich fills may run when saturated. For sloped sites near Statham, combine fill with erosion-control measures like terracing, retaining walls, erosion control fabric, seeded blankets, and proper drainage to reduce runoff and erosion.

Use fill dirt for bulk raising and grading, then top with crushed stone for driveways or topsoil for planting areas. Crushed stone provides a durable, permeable base for driveways; sand or bedding stone is better under pavers; topsoil is necessary where you plan to grow lawns or gardens.

A properly compacted, well-drained fill base can remain stable for many years, but expect some initial settling during the first year that may require spot additions. Regular maintenance includes checking drainage, adding material to low spots, and regrading as needed after heavy rains or freeze-thaw cycles common in West Georgia.

Clear a firm drop zone with good truck access, protect driveways and lawns with plywood or mats, and mark overhead obstacles and property lines before delivery. Communicate site constraints to Hello Gravel at checkout, plan for truck turning radius, and schedule deliveries when the ground is not overly saturated to reduce tracking and rutting.

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