Fill dirt is mostly native soil, often with subsoil, rock, and low organic matter and is used to raise or level ground. Gravel is crushed rock or rounded stones that provides drainage and stable base; use fill dirt to build mass and gravel where drainage and load-bearing are needed.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it has little organic matter and requires less processing. Topsoil costs more due to screening and organic content and is better for planting, while fill dirt is intended for bulk grading and elevation work.

It depends on the truck. A standard full-size pickup bed can hold about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards level, or up to 2 cubic yards heaped, but weight matters: one cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons. Check your truck's payload rating before hauling; Hello Gravel's deliveries are by dump truck and our minimum order of 3 tons usually exceeds pickup capacity.

You can, but it often leads to settling unless the fill dirt is compacted and graded first. For a stable surface in Tacna's dry climate, compact fill dirt in layers (lifts), add a crushed rock base of several inches, and consider a geotextile fabric where needed to separate materials and reduce mixing.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level yards, but for lasting results you should place it in several thin lifts and compact each layer to minimize future settling. Also grade soil to slope away from foundations and account for local conditions like caliche or hardpan that can affect drainage; consider a site visit for major regrades.

Use the rule: cubic yards = (area in square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, to raise a 600 sq ft area by 2 inches you need about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 4 yards). Hello Gravel's material calculator can convert yards to tons for Tacna deliveries and help you size your order.
