Fill Dirt in Waycross, GA

Fill dirt is usually cheaper than gravel in Waycross because it is a lower-grade material made mainly of subsoil and fines. Gravel (especially crushed stone) has processing and transport costs that make it more expensive. Prices vary by supplier and transport distance, so check Hello Gravel for local quotes.

In West Georgia areas like Waycross, fill dirt commonly falls in a broad regional range depending on source and truck distance. A typical range is modest (contact Hello Gravel for exact local pricing), and we recommend getting a quick online quote to see current per-ton or per-yard prices for your zip code. Regional variations and moisture content will affect the final price.

To estimate, calculate area x desired depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. A common rule of thumb for fill dirt: 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.2 tons (depends on moisture and composition). For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep needs about 12.35 cubic yards, roughly 14.8 tons.

Most full-size pickups can safely carry 1/2 to 1 cubic yard depending on the truck's payload rating and how the load is distributed. Smaller pickups and those with lighter payloads may only hold a fraction of a cubic yard without exceeding limits. Always check your vehicle's payload capacity before hauling fill dirt and consider ordering delivery from Hello Gravel for larger amounts.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. Typical wheelbarrows hold about 3 cubic feet, so one cubic yard is roughly nine wheelbarrow loads; smaller 2-cubic-foot wheelbarrows would take about 13 to 14 loads. Plan accordingly for labor and time when moving dirt by hand.

Coverage depends on spread depth: a rough conversion is 1 ton ≈ 0.8 to 0.9 cubic yards. At 1 inch depth, one ton will cover about 250 to 300 sq ft; at 6 inches it covers roughly 40 to 50 sq ft. Use depth-based calculations to get a precise estimate for your project.

Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks for deliveries; capacity varies by truck but commonly ranges 10 to 14 cubic yards loose. Using the fill-dirt rule of thumb (≈1.2 tons per cubic yard), that equals roughly 12 to 17 tons per truck. For exact capacity and pricing, request the truck size when ordering.

Cost for a truckload depends on the amount, supplier rates, and haul distance from local pits in southeast Georgia. Prices can vary widely, so the best action is to get an online quote from Hello Gravel for your address and desired delivery date. We provide transparent quotes including delivery and any fees before you confirm.

Fill dirt can be used for raising grade or filling low spots under a driveway, but it is not a suitable surface material. For a durable driveway surface in Waycross's climate, use crushed stone or compacted gravel above a stable subgrade and proper drainage. If you need grading or lift under the driveway, specify fill dirt for subgrade work and then add appropriate base material.

Thickness depends on purpose: for minor grade correction, 2 to 4 inches of fill dirt may be adequate before installing a compacted stone base. For major lifts, add fill in 6- to 8-inch lifts and compact each layer to avoid settlement. Always consult local building codes and a contractor for structural work, and request tailgate-spreading guidance at checkout if needed.

No. Fill dirt will not harden like concrete; it compacts and gains firmness but will never be a paved surface. If you need a hard, trafficable surface in Waycross, use engineered base materials and surface aggregates, or concrete/asphalt. Fill dirt is best for building up grade and backfilling where a soil finish is acceptable.

Waycross sits in the coastal plain region, so locally sourced fill dirt commonly contains sand, silt, and variable clay. That means fill dirt from nearby suppliers may drain differently and compact differently than soils from other parts of Georgia. When ordering, note any color or texture preferences in Order Notes and ask our team for material descriptions for your zip code.
