Fill Dirt in Twin City, GA

Hello Gravel shows local delivery pricing at checkout because costs depend on distance, supplier, and order size. Many West Georgia deliveries are free for nearby drops, but typical short-haul dump-truck deliveries run in a range roughly around $100 to $350 for a single tri-axle load; next-day delivery and long hauls can add fees. Minimum order is 3 tons, and we recommend checking your zip code for an exact quote.

Yes — Hello Gravel partners with local West Georgia suppliers and haulers, so bulk fill dirt is generally available around Twin City. Availability can vary seasonally and by local demand, so check your zip code or contact our team to confirm supply and lead times for your delivery date.

Plan using cubic yards: Volume (cu yd) = (area in sq ft x depth in ft) / 27. Quick rule: 1 cubic yard covers about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth; allow 10% to 20% extra for compaction and settling. For weight planning, a loose cubic yard of fill dirt commonly weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons depending on moisture and composition.

Twin City and West Georgia commonly have clay-rich soils that retain water, which can make fill dirt heavy, sticky, and prone to expansion or slow drainage after rain. For areas with frequent rainfall, add a drainage layer (gravel or sand), compact in lifts, and avoid using plain fill dirt where standing water or frost heave is a concern. If you need a stable, draining base, consider a blended fill or topping with crushed stone.

Yes — local contractors routinely compact and spread fill dirt using plate compactors or rollers, and Hello Gravel drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout. Prices vary by job size and equipment: small residential spreads are often charged hourly while larger jobs may be priced per square foot or per cubic yard; get 2–3 local quotes and ask whether compaction, hauling, and hauling insurance are included in the price.

Use fill dirt to raise grade or fill holes, but not as a finished driveway surface — it compacts and settles and does not provide reliable drainage. Crushed stone or crushed rock is the preferred base for driveways and drains because it sheds water and compacts into a stable surface; topsoil is meant for planting and contains organic matter. For driveways in Twin City, a typical approach is fill dirt to build grade, then compacted crushed stone as the base and surface.

A plain fill-dirt base will likely settle and need touch-ups in the first 6–12 months, especially after heavy rains, so expect occasional regrading or adding material during that period. Long-term, fill dirt alone is not ideal for a driveway base; combining proper compaction and a crushed-stone overlay will substantially extend service life and reduce maintenance to occasional surface dressing every few years. Regular inspections after storms will help catch erosion or rutting early.

Small residential deliveries of fill dirt often do not require permits, but any work that changes drainage, impacts wetlands, or alters floodplain elevations can require approvals from Twin City or Emanuel County. Before large fills or regrading near property lines, roadways, or flood-prone areas, check with the Twin City city office or Emanuel County building/engineering department to confirm local requirements.

Order online by entering your zip code to see local fill-dirt options, choose a delivery date, and pay with major credit cards or Apple Pay; minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery takes 2+ business days, next-day is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee, and deliveries are made by contracted dump-truck fleets; request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers will assess feasibility on arrival.

Pick a drop location that minimizes truck travel over turf or driveways and protect surfaces with plywood or temporary matting if needed. Place fill in thin lifts, compact each lift as you go, slope material away from foundations for drainage, and keep erosion control in mind because Twin City rains can wash loose fills; if you plan to plant, top with several inches of topsoil rather than leaving fill dirt at the surface.

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

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.
