A standard tri-axle dump truck in West Georgia usually carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose (some trucks carry up to 14 cu yd), which for fill dirt typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.35 tons per cubic yard. Multiply the truck capacity by the per-yard price to estimate cost, and request a truck-size option at checkout if you need a specific capacity.

Fill dirt is fine for raising grade or filling large low spots because it compacts well, but it lacks organic matter and is not good as a final planting surface. For the top 2 to 4 inches where you plan to seed or plant, order screened topsoil; for paths or driveways use compactable base material or gravel for drainage and stability.

Fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than decorative gravel because it is raw subsoil, so it is a cost-effective choice for bulk raising and rough grading. Choose gravel if you need drainage, a finished surface, or a driveway base; choose fill dirt when you only need to add volume and compact it down before finishing with topsoil or turf.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards (1000 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 250 cu ft, divided by 27 = 9.26). That equals roughly 10 to 13 tons of fill dirt, depending on moisture and composition, so request a quote for about 9.5 to 10 cu yd or ask our team to confirm the best order size.

You usually need base preparation rather than just dumping gravel on dirt.
