Twenty tons of typical fill dirt converts to roughly 15 to 18 cubic yards depending on moisture and composition, which at a 4-inch depth covers approximately 1,000 to 1,300 square feet (about 100 to 130 feet of a 10-foot wide driveway).

Remember our minimum order is 3 tons, so small needs may be priced differently.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is intended for bulk grading, compaction, and building up low spots rather than supporting plant growth. Use fill dirt for subgrade, leveling, and under driveways or patios; reserve topsoil for the top 3-6 inches where you will plant grass, gardens, or landscaping. In Jeff Davis County's local soils, contractors often place fill dirt for grade work and cap with topsoil where vegetation is required.

Big-box stores typically sell bagged soil or small bulk products and rarely deliver full truckloads to rural counties like Jeff Davis; they are not usually set up for tri-axle deliveries. For full truckloads or scheduled dump deliveries, local suppliers accessed through Hello Gravel are usually faster, more cost-effective, and provide truck options suited to your site access. Check with your local store for small loads, but for real bulk needs we recommend a local supplier via Hello Gravel.

Common estimates: a 4-inch layer over a 10x10 raised bed needs about 1.2 cubic yards (roughly 1.5-2 tons), a 10x10 area at 6 inches needs about 2 cubic yards (2.5-3 tons), and a 100-foot driveway (10 ft wide) at 4 inches needs about 12 cubic yards (about 15-17 tons). Delivery cost depends on minimum orders, truck type, and haul distance; small jobs near suppliers may be modest, while rural or single-truck loads will reflect local delivery fees. Use Hello Gravel's calculator with your dimensions or request a local quote for exact material and delivery pricing.

Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, and you can request this service at checkout, but it is not guaranteed due to safety and equipment limits. For guaranteed spreading and placement, many customers hire local landscapers or equipment operators; in Jeff Davis County, contractor rates vary but commonly range from about $50 to $100 per hour or $150 to $500 per job depending on scope and equipment needed. If you want spreading, note it in Order Notes and call our team to discuss options and local contractor referrals.

Truck size affects both cost and site access: smaller dump trucks carry roughly 6-8 cubic yards while common tri-axle trucks carry about 10-12 cubic yards; larger end-dump or walking-floor haulers can carry more but may be restricted by rural roads or driveways. Price per ton often decreases with larger loads, but access limitations, permit needs, or long haul distances into Jeff Davis County can add fees. When ordering on Hello Gravel, choose the truck size that matches your site access and we will show you local supplier options and pricing.
