Fill Dirt in Lenox, GA

Yes. Fill dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel because it is less processed and often sourced locally; in West Georgia this price gap is common due to abundant native soils. Use fill dirt for raising grade or backfill and gravel when you need drainage or a stable surface.

In Lenox and surrounding West Georgia, delivered fill dirt typically ranges from about $10 to $40 per cubic yard depending on quality, haul distance, and whether it is screened or clay-rich. Prices can vary, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel, remember our minimum order is 3 tons, and ask about delivery fees or next-day options.

A ton of fill dirt in Georgia commonly runs roughly $8 to $30 per ton, depending on local supply and delivery. Keep in mind 1 cubic yard of fill dirt is roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons (about 1.3 tons on average), so converting between yards and tons affects the final price.

Fill dirt is mostly natural soil with fine particles and some larger pieces; it is used to raise grades, fill holes, and provide compactable base. Gravel is crushed rock used for drainage and stable surfaces; it does not compact like dirt and performs much better where water flow or a load-bearing surface is needed. In West Georgia you may also see local red clay in fill dirt, which compacts well but drains more slowly.

A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers about 10 to 14 cubic yards (roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture).

It depends on depth. For 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches deep you need about 6.2 cubic yards (around 8 tons); at 4 inches deep you need about 12.3 cubic yards (around 16 tons). Multiply the cubic yards by your local per-yard price to estimate cost and use Hello Gravel's calculator or contact our team for a tailored quote.

It depends on the truck. A small to mid-size pickup bed may not safely hold a full cubic yard without overloading the suspension or tailgate, while some full-size trucks with short beds can carry about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards if properly loaded. For safety and local road weight limits, many people prefer delivery by dump truck; Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (usually 3 tons) and can arrange dump delivery.

One cubic yard is a pile roughly 3 feet long by 3 feet wide by 3 feet high and contains about 27 cubic feet of material. In Lenox clay-based fill dirt that pile will be dense and heavy—typically about 1.2 to 1.4 tons—so expect a solid, compact mound rather than loose fluffy soil.

A standard wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so 1 cubic yard (27 cubic feet) equals roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads. The exact number depends on your wheelbarrow size and how full you load each pass.
