Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel on a per-yard and per-ton basis because it is less processed. Gravel has value for drainage and structural work, so if you need a finished surface or base material you'll pay more than for basic fill dirt.

One cubic yard is a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft pile (27 cubic feet). Spread out, it covers about 108 sq ft at 3 inches deep, about 54 sq ft at 6 inches deep, or about 324 sq ft at 1 inch deep — useful for visualizing how much you need for grading or leveling in Twin Peaks yards.

No. Fill dirt is not a suitable wearing surface for driveways — it tends to rut and hold water. For driveway construction, you should use fill dirt only to bring the subgrade to grade, compacting in lifts (usually no more than 6 inches before compaction) and then place a proper base layer of crushed rock or gravel several inches thick for drainage and strength.

Volume depends on the depth you need. For 1,000 sq ft: 1 inch deep = about 3.1 cubic yards, 3 inches = about 9.3 cubic yards, 6 inches = about 18.5 cubic yards, and 12 inches = about 37 cubic yards. Always order 5 to 10 percent extra to allow for compaction and grading, and get a quote to convert to tons and delivery.
