A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of material, which for West Georgia clay-based fill dirt usually weighs about 7 to 12 tons. A single delivered truckload in Sunnyside commonly costs in the few-hundred to low-thousand dollar range depending on distance, site access, and volume; enter your address on Hello Gravel to get an exact delivered price.

One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards, so it covers about 240 square feet at a 1-inch depth. Coverage drops as depth increases: at 3 inches one ton covers about 80 square feet, and at 6 inches about 40 square feet. These are approximations; local moisture and compaction can change coverage slightly.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers about 324 square feet at 1-inch depth, 108 square feet at 3 inches, and 54 square feet at 6 inches. For Sunnyside projects, use these figures to estimate needs and add 10-20% extra for compaction and settling. Hello Gravel's material calculator on the site can convert your measurements into recommended tons or yards.

Generally, yes—fill dirt is usually less expensive than crushed gravel because it requires less processing. However, cost differences depend on the type of gravel, hauling distance, and required compaction; for structural or drainage uses gravel may be the better long-term value. Always compare delivered prices and intended use before ordering.

No. Fill dirt is primarily subsoil used to raise grade and provide bulk; it often contains clay, sand, and small rock and has limited organic matter. Topsoil is nutrient-rich and dark, meant for planting and lawns, so use topsoil where vegetation will grow and fill dirt where you need mass or to build grade.

A full-size pickup bed will usually hold about one cubic yard with the tailgate up, so the material can fit physically. However, a cubic yard of fill dirt can weigh 2,000 to 3,000+ pounds and may exceed your truck's payload rating, so check your vehicle's payload capacity before hauling. Also note Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so small pickup loads may not be available through our delivery service.

One cubic yard is a cube roughly 3 feet on each side (3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft). On your property it will look like a modest pile about waist-high for an adult; visualizing a 3x3x3 ft box helps estimate how much you need.

Examples: to raise 1,000 sq ft by 1 inch you need about 3.1 cubic yards (roughly 4 to 5 tons); to raise the same area by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards (about 12 to 13 tons). Small lawn low spots or utility backfill are often covered with a single truckload (10-12 yd3), while garden prep or larger lot grading commonly requires multiple loads—use our calculator or contact our team for a precise quote.

West Georgia tends to have red clay and mixed sandy-clay soils that compact well but can hold water and drain slowly. For structural fills or under driveways this is usually fine, but if you plan to plant or need fast drainage consider mixing with cleaner fill or adding drainage layers. You can note preferences at checkout and our suppliers can often source material suited to local conditions.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; request the service at checkout and the driver will assess safety and access upon arrival. Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services, so plan for additional labor or equipment if you need graded, leveled fills.

Contact Hello Gravel's customer team as soon as possible—the earlier you reach out the easier it is to modify or cancel before dispatch. We will do our best to accommodate requests prior to processing, but changes may be limited once a supplier or truck has been scheduled.
