Fill Dirt in Tunnel Hill, GA

In Tunnel Hill and West Georgia, fill dirt usually ranges from about $8 to $30 per ton delivered, depending on local supply, haul distance, and whether the material is screened. Prices can be lower for large orders or if a full tri-axle load is purchased. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel for exact local pricing and available delivery options.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks in this region, which typically carry about 10 to 16 tons of fill dirt per load. At typical local rates that means a single truckload can cost roughly $150 to $480 delivered, though actual cost depends on per-ton price and trucking charges.

Generally, plain fill dirt is cheaper than crushed rock or decorative gravel because it requires less processing. However, costs depend on local availability and the type of gravel you compare it to; some recycled aggregates can be competitively priced. Review both options on Hello Gravel and request quotes to compare total delivered cost.

Coverage depends on how deep you spread the material and its compaction. In Tunnel Hill, one ton of compacted fill dirt equals roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards, which will cover about 80 square feet at 3 inches deep, about 40 square feet at 6 inches, or about 20 square feet at 12 inches. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a quick local estimate based on your project depth.

Aim to place fill dirt during drier periods to help with compaction and reduce erosion; late spring through early fall often works well in Tunnel Hill, but avoid heavy rain windows. Also consider project timing for vegetation and permit windows if grading near streams or easements. If in doubt, contact our team for delivery scheduling advice based on local weather forecasts.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order, which covers most small projects around Tunnel Hill. If you need less, consider combining orders with neighbors or local contractors, or check local landscape yards for small bags. For orders above the minimum, you can choose delivery date and request tailgate spreading at checkout, subject to the driver's discretion.

Yes. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, fill dirt delivered to Tunnel Hill often reflects local West Georgia soils—typically red or brown clayey fill with natural fines. That makes it good for grading and foundations but not ideal for drainage or planting without topsoil. If you need a specific texture or screened product, note that in Order Notes and ask our team for options.

To minimize cost, order in larger quantities (full truckloads), choose local suppliers by checking your zip code on Hello Gravel, and schedule standard delivery instead of expedited service. Also compare screened versus unscreened material, since unscreened fill dirt is usually less expensive. For alternative free or low-cost options, check municipal fill programs or construction site availability, but confirm permits and material quality before use.

Fill dirt in Tunnel Hill often contains clay that compacts well, but proper layering and compaction are important to avoid settling. Place fill in lifts (small thicknesses) and compact each lift if the area will support structures or pavement; for landscaping use, looser fills may be acceptable. If you need engineered fill or compaction testing, consult a local geotechnical or grading contractor before ordering.
