A common residential dump-truck load (tri-axle) holds roughly 8 to 12 cubic yards. At typical delivered rates that means expect around $150 to $450 for one truckload, though tight access, long haul distance, or required permits can increase the price. Ask Hello Gravel for a truck-size estimate and exact price for your driveway or site.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout but there are no guarantees it will be done. If a supplier offers spreading, a fee may apply and access/terrain will determine feasibility. For precise grading or compaction, hire an excavator or landscaper—tailgate spreading is best for light, approximate leveling.

Fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than gravel, because it is unprocessed soil and often locally available in Georgia. However, fill dirt is not a good long-term driveway surface—use it for raising grade or backfill, and use crushed stone and compactable base material for driveways and traffic areas. Consider the project purpose: choose fill dirt for grading and soil work, gravel for structural base and surfacing.

Measure the area (length x width) and the desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards: (L x W x D) / 27 = cubic yards. Divide the cubic yards by the truck capacity (commonly 8 to 12 cubic yards for residential tri-axle trucks) to estimate loads, and add 5-10% extra for compaction and settlement. Example: 50 ft x 20 ft x 6 in (0.5 ft) = 500 cu ft = 18.5 cu yd, about two 10-yd truckloads.

Common options around Fayette County include general fill dirt (often clayey Georgia soil), screened fill, topsoil, and engineered or structural fill available from specialty suppliers. General fill is fine for grading and many landscaping uses, but foundations and structural fills should use engineered fill with specified compaction and testing. For erosion control you may need mixes with better drainage or vegetation-friendly topsoil—ask suppliers for recommendations based on the project.

Yes, suppliers working through Hello Gravel can provide written quotes and estimated delivery windows prior to dispatch. Standard material certificates or lab testing are not always included, but you can request documentation or third-party soil testing if you need proof of soil quality. Tell the Hello Gravel team your requirements so we can ask the supplier to include notes or arrange testing when possible.

Large fills, changes to site grade, or work near regulated waterways may require permits, stormwater controls, or inspections from Fayette County or municipal authorities. Requirements vary by project size and location, so check with the Fayette County Building Department and local planning office before ordering large volumes. Suppliers can often advise on common local requirements, but final compliance is the customer's responsibility.
