Fill Dirt in Mountain Park, GA

Prices vary by supplier and delivery distance, but expect roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard delivered (about $15 to $45 per ton) for common unprocessed fill dirt in Mountain Park and West Georgia. Final cost depends on truck access, screening (rock-free vs unprocessed), and how far the supplier hauls. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and will show delivered pricing at checkout.

A typical tri-axle dump truck load of fill dirt in the Mountain Park area usually contains about 10 to 15 tons and can run approximately $150 to $600 delivered, depending on tonnage, distance, and whether the material is screened. Narrow streets, permits, or extra handling can increase the price, so request an upfront quote through Hello Gravel for an accurate delivered price.

Some small rocks and gravel are normal in fill dirt, especially in West Georgia where soils can contain clay and shale fragments. If you need rock-free or screened fill for landscaping or final grading, request screened or processed fill at checkout; otherwise expect a mix of fines and occasional stones suitable for general filling and grading.

Generally, fill dirt is cheaper than decorative or crushed gravel because it is a lower-value material used for bulk fill and grading. However, gravel and crushed stone are often required where drainage or a stable surface is needed, so choose based on function rather than price alone.

Coverage depends on depth: as a rule of thumb, 1 ton of fill dirt will cover about 40 sq ft at a 6-inch depth, about 60 sq ft at a 4-inch depth, and roughly 250 sq ft at a 1-inch depth. These are approximate values—settlement and compaction common in local clay soils can reduce final coverage, so order a little extra for compaction and grading.

Most trucks used by our suppliers are tri-axle dump trucks that commonly deliver about 10 to 15 tons of fill dirt, depending on local weight limits and whether the material is loose or damp. Smaller trucks can make deliveries for tight-access jobs, but that will affect unit pricing and minimums.

To minimize cost, order in larger quantities to lower the per-ton price, choose locally sourced material, and schedule delivery during normal business hours to avoid surcharges. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier rates and delivery options, and consider self-spreading rather than paying for tailgate spreading, which is provided only at the driver's discretion.

Standard delivery is usually 2 or more business days; next-day delivery is available if you order before noon CST, subject to supplier availability. Clear the drop area, flag any obstacles for the driver, note gate codes or access instructions in Order Notes, and remember tailgate spreading is optional and not guaranteed.

For non-structural uses like grading, raising lawn elevations, or backfilling trenches, standard fill dirt is usually fine. For foundations, critical footings, or areas requiring controlled compaction, use engineered fill or consult a geotechnical engineer—Georgia clay and local conditions can cause settlement if untreated.
