Fill-dirt is mostly fine particles and subsoil used to raise or level ground and support structures, while gravel is crushed rock used for drainage and stable surfaces. In Henderson's region, fill-dirt is best for building up low spots or creating grade, whereas gravel is better for driveways, paths, and drainage layers. Choose fill-dirt when you need volume and compaction; choose gravel when you need surface stability and drainage.

A standard tri-axle dump truck serving Henderson typically carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt.

No, 2 inches of fill-dirt is not sufficient for driveways or most grading work. For general yard leveling you should plan on at least 4 to 6 inches of compacted fill-dirt, and for driveways you typically need 6 to 12 inches of properly compacted fill and base materials before surface stone. Always compact in lifts and consult with our team if you need guidance for a specific driveway or site.

Yes, fill-dirt is generally cheaper than decorative gravel or crushed stone because it is unprocessed subsoil with less processing and no crushed rock costs. However, total project cost depends on how much material you need, hauling distance, and whether compaction or import of better quality fill is required. If you only need bulk volume to raise grade, fill-dirt is the more economical choice in most West Tennessee projects.

Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in ft) / 27. For example, to raise a 20 ft by 20 ft area by 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need about (400 x 0.5) / 27 = 7.4 cubic yards of fill-dirt. Contact us if you want help calculating quantities for an irregular area or to get a delivery estimate.

You can put gravel over fill-dirt, but only after the fill-dirt has been properly placed and compacted. For a durable surface, compact the fill in 4-6 inch lifts, add a crushed stone base (3-4 inches or more depending on traffic), and consider a geotextile fabric for added stability and separation. Skipping compaction or a proper base often leads to settling and poor drainage on West Tennessee soils.

Costs vary by site, but you can estimate material needs and then multiply by local unit prices. For example, a 20 ft by 30 ft driveway that needs 6 inches of compacted fill-dirt requires about (600 x 0.5) / 27 = 11.1 cubic yards; at $10 to $25 per cubic yard that material alone would be about $111 to $278, not including delivery, compaction labor, or the gravel surface. For an accurate project total, request a quote that includes delivery, optional tailgate spreading, and any compaction or site prep services.
