Fill Dirt in Sylvania, GA

Delivered fill dirt prices in Sylvania commonly range from about $12 to $30 per cubic yard, depending on supplier, moisture content, and whether trucking fees apply. Per-ton pricing typically runs in a comparable range (about $10 to $25 per ton) because one cubic yard of loose fill dirt usually weighs about 2,200 to 2,700 pounds (1.1 to 1.35 tons). Final price depends on your exact zip code, minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), and any truck access or site conditions.

A common tri-axle commercial dump truck delivering to the Sylvania area carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards (about 12 to 16 tons) of loose fill dirt, depending on material density and local weight limits. Cost for a full truck varies by supplier and distance but you can expect to pay several hundred dollars to a low four-figure amount for a full truckload delivered; contact Hello Gravel with your address for an accurate quote and available lead times.

To cover 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep (a common base lift) you need about 12.3 cubic yards of fill dirt; at 6 inches deep you need about 18.5 cubic yards. Using a conversion of roughly 1.2 to 1.35 tons per cubic yard, that equals about 15 to 25 tons depending on depth and material density. Keep in mind fill dirt is best for building grade and filling low spots — crushed stone is usually preferred for the structural base of a driveway.

For a 20-foot-long driveway example at 10 feet wide (200 sq ft), filling to 4 inches requires about 2.5 cubic yards and to 6 inches about 3.7 cubic yards. At a delivered rate of $12 to $30 per cubic yard in the Sylvania area, expect material costs roughly $30 to $110 for the fill dirt, plus any delivery fee or compaction services. If you want an exact cost, provide your exact driveway dimensions and zip code to Hello Gravel for a local quote.

Yes — in most cases fill dirt is less expensive than topsoil and many decorative gravels in the Sylvania area because it is unamended, low in organic matter, and often locally sourced. However, fill dirt does not provide the same drainage or compaction properties as crushed stone gravel, which is usually a better structural base for a durable driveway. Choose fill dirt to raise grade or fill low spots, then finish with compactable aggregate for the driving surface.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, which is about 9 standard 3-cu-ft wheelbarrow loads (wheelbarrow sizes vary), and typically fits into about one to two full-size pickup truck beds depending on bed size and legal load limits. Hello Gravel partners primarily deliver by dump truck, but some local suppliers may offer small-load pickup options — check availability for your zip code and remember to confirm safe loading and vehicle weight limits before picking up material yourself.

One cubic yard (27 cu ft) will cover about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth and about 54 sq ft at 6 inches depth. Since one cubic yard of fill dirt generally weighs about 1.1 to 1.35 tons, one ton will cover roughly 60 to 75 sq ft at 4 inches depending on the material density. Use these examples to estimate coverage for retaining, garden bed leveling, or small grading jobs in Sylvania, and factor in compaction and settlement.

You can sometimes place gravel directly over existing soil if the subgrade is well-drained, graded, and compacted, but in many West Georgia locations the native clay soils hold moisture and may require additional fill and compaction. For a long-lasting driveway, it is best to add and compact structural fill or granular base material where there are low spots or soft areas, and consider a geotextile fabric for separation. If you plan to use fill dirt, compact it in lifts and then install a proper crushed stone base before surfacing with gravel.

For most Sylvania projects, scheduling a dump truck delivery through Hello Gravel is the most convenient and often most cost-effective option, especially for orders above the minimum 3-ton quantity — it saves time, avoids truck rental and labor, and reduces loading costs. Pickup can save money for very small jobs if you have a suitable vehicle and local supplier offers small-loads, but check pickup availability and weight limits. Always compare delivered quotes, factor in your time and equipment, and request a local supplier quote via Hello Gravel to see the best option for your address.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days, and next-day delivery may be available if you order before noon CST (an extra fee applies). Many areas in West Georgia have free or included delivery within certain zones, but remote or restricted-access addresses around Sylvania may incur additional fees — Hello Gravel will show delivery details and any surcharges during checkout. If you need changes, contact our team as soon as possible since lead times depend on supplier and trucking schedules.
