Fill Dirt in Fargo, GA

In Fargo (West Georgia), delivered fill dirt commonly runs roughly $10 to $30 per ton depending on whether it’s clean borrow, screened, or contains rock and roots. Final price depends on delivery distance, supplier avaIlability in this rural area, and any fees for small minimums — request a quote to get exact pricing for your zip code.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 13 to 16 tons of fill dirt, so expect the material cost to land somewhere in the $150 to $500 range before delivery fees. Total cost will vary with truck type, local haul distance, and whether you need screened or clean fill; contact Hello Gravel for an itemized quote.

Yes — fill dirt is generally cheaper per ton than gravel because it’s lower-value material used for bulk grading and backfill. That said, gravel is better for driveways, drainage, and areas needing load-bearing or erosion control, so choose based on function, not price alone.

Most tri-axle dump trucks we arrange in West Georgia haul about 13 to 16 tons of fill dirt per load. Larger end-dump trucks can carry 18 to 25 tons, but avaIlability and local weight limits can change the actual load size.

Coverage depends on depth and compaction. As a rule of thumb, 1 ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.75 to 0.85 cubic yards, which covers about 270 sq ft at 1 inch deep, about 67 sq ft at 4 inches, and about 45 sq ft at 6 inches. Expect some settlement and compaction after placement, so order a little extra or consult our material calculator for your project.

The most cost-effective option is to source locally: order larger quantities (per-ton rates drop with volume), choose raw borrow or unprocessed fill, and schedule deliveries when suppliers are already routing in your area to avoid extra hauling charges. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier quotes and check avaIlability for the Fargo zip code.

Yes — fill dirt settles and compacts over time, especially if placed in loose lifts. For best results, place fill in thin layers and compact between lifts with appropriate equipment; if you need a stable surface right away, consider compacted fill or adding a gravel cap.

No — fill dirt is low in organic matter and not suitable for planting or lawns on its own. For landscaping or gardens, cover fill with several inches of quality topsoil or compost before planting.

Standard delivery typically requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery may be avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Because Fargo is a small, rural area, avaIlability depends on local suppliers and truck routing, so check your zip code and request a delivery date during checkout.

Provide clear drop location instructions, pRoperty access details (gates, overhead wires, steep driveways), and a phone number for the driver to call on arrival. If you want tailgate spreading, request it at checkout, but remember drivers perform spreading at their discretion and it’s not guaranteed.
