Prices for fill dirt in Camilla (pop. 6,850) vary by source, quality, and delivery; expect a typical range of about $10 to $35 per cubic yard or roughly $12 to $40 per ton.

For an exact price on your job size and delivery location, request a quote through Hello Gravel.

In Georgia a ton of fill dirt usually translates to roughly 0.8 to 1.2 cubic yards depending on moisture and compaction, so per-ton and per-yard prices can differ. Many suppliers price by the cubic yard for loose material and by the ton for delivered/dense loads, so confirm the unit your quote uses. Hello Gravel can show both units on a quote to make comparison easy.

The cost of a dump truck load depends on the truck size, material price, and delivery distance; expect a tri-axle load (common in our network) to carry about 10–12 cubic yards and cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several hundred dollars for material plus delivery. Exact totals vary by supplier and route, so the most reliable way to get an accurate per-load price is to get a Hello Gravel quote for your address and desired quantity. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so small jobs may be priced differently.

Per ton, fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel, but it is not the right material for a driveway base because it lacks drainage and compaction properties. For driveways and base layers in West Georgia's climate, crushed stone or gravel gives better load-bearing and drainage even if it costs a bit more. If you need to raise grade cheaply, fill dirt is fine under a compacted structural layer of gravel.

One cubic yard of fill dirt is 27 cubic feet and covers about 81 square feet at 4 inches deep. Because fill dirt density varies, 1 ton typically equals about 0.8–1.2 cubic yards, so 1 ton will usually cover roughly 65–100 square feet at 4 inches depth. For sloped areas or compaction needs, order a little extra (5–10%) to account for settling.

To save money, order the minimum quantity that meets your project needs (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), choose standard delivery (2+ business days), and compare quotes from local suppliers in West Georgia. If you have flexible timing, ask suppliers about off-peak delivery windows or local free/cheap fill sources such as construction site excess, but always confirm quality. Request multiple quotes through Hello Gravel to see the best local rate and delivery option for your zip code.

Common local dump trucks vary: a 6-wheel (single-axle) truck usually carries about 5–8 cubic yards, while a tri-axle truck commonly carries about 10–12 cubic yards of loose fill. In tons this range depends on material density, but expect roughly 6–16 tons per truckload for fill dirt depending on moisture. Always confirm the specific truck size and estimated cubic yards/tons with the hauler before booking.

Yes, same-week delivery is often possible depending on supplier availability; Hello Gravel offers standard delivery in 2+ business days and next-day delivery for orders placed before noon CST with an extra fee. Placement (tailgate spreading) may be available at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout and note that drivers may decline for safety or access reasons. For urgent jobs, contact Hello Gravel as early as possible to check local supplier schedules.

On private property you normally do not need a permit to receive fill dirt, but if trucks must use public roads, cross sidewalks, or dump in the city right-of-way you may need a permit from Camilla or Mitchell County. Before delivery, mark utility lines (call 811), clear vehicles and obstacles from drop area, and provide a stable access route for the truck to avoid damage. If you have questions about local rules, check with Camilla public works or ask our team when you place your order.
