Fill Dirt in Liberty County, GA

Delivered costs vary by source, truck size, and jobsite access, but in Liberty County a typical delivered price range is about $15 to $40 per cubic yard. A common tri-axle load (about 10 to 14 cubic yards) will therefore often run roughly $150 to $560 for material, plus any delivery fee—so expect total truckload pricing in the ballpark of $250 to $900 depending on access and supplier. For an exact price, request a quote for your zip code and delivery date.

Some suppliers and independent contractors in the Georgia region offer spreading and compaction, but availability varies and drivers typically only do tailgate spreading at their discretion. Spreading and compaction are usually quoted separately; expect labor and equipment costs from about $50 to $200+ per hour depending on crew size and compaction equipment needed. Ask for those services when you request a quote so you can see combined pricing and to confirm safety and access requirements.

A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. One cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at 4 in depth and about 54 square feet at 6 in depth, so a 12-cubic-yard truck covers roughly 972 sq ft at 4 in or about 648 sq ft at 6 in. Always order an extra 5-10% for settlement and compaction.

Fill dirt is usually the least expensive per cubic yard compared with gravel—typical fill dirt prices in Liberty County run lower than crushed stone or crusher-run. Crushed stone or driveway base commonly costs more per cubic yard because it contains rock and fines that compact; for structural base work gravel is worth the premium. For final base or driveways, use compacted gravel; use fill dirt mainly to raise grade or fill voids.

A full-size pickup can often carry about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards of loose fill in the bed, but weight limits and material spillage may make this impractical for larger projects. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so for most projects a small dump truck or tri-axle delivery is recommended for safety, legal limits, and easier unloading. If you plan pickup, confirm the supplier’s minimums and any local weight or road restrictions.

Big-box stores typically sell bagged soils and sometimes arrange bulk deliveries through local partners, but for true bulk fill-dirt volumes local soil or aggregate companies are usually more cost-effective and offer more consistency. Local suppliers also better reflect Liberty County geologic material and can deliver larger loads on short notice. For large or time-sensitive jobs, request quotes from local suppliers through Hello Gravel.

For simple grade filling, clean fill dirt is the most cost-effective option in Liberty County. For driveway base and any surface that will receive traffic, a crushed stone or crusher-run base (stone with fines) is more durable and worth the investment; suppliers commonly offer lower unit prices for larger orders or repeat contractor accounts. Ask for volume pricing when requesting a quote to see bulk discounts and combined delivery savings.

Crusher-run or dense-graded aggregate compacts very hard and makes an excellent base that can feel firm under traffic, but it will not be as hard as poured concrete. These products cost more per cubic yard than plain fill dirt and are typically priced higher than loose landscape gravel because of the rock content and compaction performance. If you need a paved-like surface, budget for crusher-run material plus machine compaction and a finished wearing surface if required.

As an example, a 20 ft wide by 50 ft long driveway at a 4 in fill-dirt base requires about 12 to 13 cubic yards of fill dirt; material costs for that base often run in the low hundreds of dollars (roughly $200 to $550) depending on per-yard pricing and delivery. Add a compacted crushed-stone top layer (another 10 to 13 cubic yards) which may add $300 to $800, plus spreading and compaction labor that can range from a few hundred to over $1,000 depending on site access and equipment. For an accurate estimate tailored to your Liberty County site, request a job-specific quote that includes delivery, spreading, and compaction options.

Yes. Liberty County sits on the coastal plain where sandy soils, flat grades, and a higher water table or seasonal flooding can affect settlement and drainage. Plan for drainage swales, proper grading, and possibly importing denser base material where a stable surface is required; check local county permits for driveways and major grading. Discuss site conditions with suppliers or our team so material selection and placement account for local soil behavior.
