No. Proper fill dirt should be mostly mineral subsoil with low organic content (no topsoil, roots, or large debris) because organic material decomposes and causes settling. For structural or graded fills you should use clean fill and compact it in layers; our team can help you choose the right material for your project.

It depends on the soil type: sandy, coarse fill drains well while clay-heavy fill holds water and can worsen drainage. Northeast Georgia often has clayey subsoils, so for drainage-sensitive projects we recommend combining fill dirt with drainage rock, geotextile, or designing proper swales and outlets. If drainage is a primary concern, ask our team for material recommendations for your specific site.

Measure the area (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet). For example, a 10 ft by 10 ft area at 1 ft depth equals 100 cubic feet, or about 3.7 cubic yards. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our sales team for help and to account for compaction and settling allowances.

Permit requirements vary by county, municipality, and HOA rules; small landscaping fills are often allowed but larger earthworks, grading, or changes to drainage may require permits or erosion control plans. Before ordering large quantities, check with your local building or planning department and your HOA, and let us know if you need documentation for inspections.

Yes, our contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) deliver directly to properties in the Raoul area, but drivers will assess access and safety upon arrival. Make sure access is clear, mark the desired drop spot, and call 811 for utility locates before delivery. Tailgate spreading is available at the driver's discretion and should be requested at checkout but is not guaranteed.

Clear brush, remove large debris, and create a stable path for the truck to the drop area; mark the exact placement and call 811 to locate utilities at least a few days before delivery. Confirm any slope or drainage concerns with your contractor, and let our delivery coordinator know if there are narrow roads, low overhangs, or weight restrictions so we can arrange an appropriate truck.

Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise grades or provide a stable base and typically contains little organic matter, while topsoil is rich in organic material and intended for planting. Yard or garden soil can be a mix and often contains roots and organics that make it unsuitable where stable fill and compaction are required.

Yes, all fill dirt will settle to some degree, especially if not placed and compacted in lifts; settlement can affect final grades and drainage. To limit settling, compact material in 6-12 inch lifts or hire a contractor to compact and finish the grade; if you want, Hello Gravel can recommend local contractors for compaction and finishing work.
