Fill Dirt in Winterville, GA

Choose a low-organic, compactable fill dirt (often called clean fill or clay/sandy-clay fill) for raising grades in West Georgia. Because Winterville soils are clayey and hold moisture, use well-compacted lifts and consider a gravel or crusher-run cap and proper drainage to avoid future settling and ponding.

Fill dirt can be used to raise or level the subgrade but is not ideal as the finished driveway base. For driveways we recommend compacting fill dirt to set grades, then installing a road base or crusher run on top for proper drainage, load-bearing capacity, and longevity in West Georgia conditions.

Volume depends on width and depth, but as an example a 10-foot-wide driveway raised 2 inches uses roughly 0.06 cubic yards per linear foot (about 0.07 tons), and 4 inches uses about 0.12 cubic yards per linear foot (about 0.15 tons). Use the formula (width ft x depth in / 324) to get cubic yards per linear foot, then multiply by ~1.2 tons per cubic yard for a rough tonnage and round up for compaction and waste.

Fill dirt compacts reasonably well but tends to retain water, especially in West Georgia's clay soils, which can slow drainage and increase settling. Crusher run or road base compacts to a stiffer, more permeable surface and is a better choice where drainage and vehicle loads are concerns.

Many local suppliers and haulers deliver fill dirt; Hello Gravel connects you to local options and delivery is typically by tri-axle dump truck. Minimums often start around 3 tons; tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout and confirm with the supplier ahead of time.

Small grade changes often do not require city permits, but work that alters drainage, affects a public right-of-way, or changes driveway profiles may need a permit from Winterville or Athens-Clarke County. HOA covenants can be more restrictive, so check with your HOA and the city planning department before ordering material.

Most settling happens in the first 6 to 12 months after placement, especially without staged compaction; properly placed and compacted fill dirt can hold its grade for many years. In West Georgia you should inspect and expect possible touch-ups within 1 to 3 years if the material was not compacted in lifts or if erosion and heavy storm runoff occur.

Use fill dirt (low-organic) for bulk raising of grade because it won’t decompose and settle as much as topsoil; add a layer of topsoil only on the final few inches where you will seed or plant. For driveways or areas carrying vehicles, choose road base or crusher run on top of compacted fill dirt for strength and drainage; always address the underlying drainage issue rather than just adding material.

Clear the drop area of vehicles, hoses, and debris, and mark utilities and the preferred dump location with stakes or flags. Make sure there is truck access (about 12 to 14 feet of overhead clearance) and confirm any street-blocking rules with the city or HOA before delivery.

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.
