Fill Dirt in Round Oak, GA

Prices vary by supplier and load size, but in West Georgia expect delivered fill dirt to typically run about $10 to $30 per ton. Final cost depends on local avaIlability, truck access, and whether the price is quoted per ton or per cubic yard; Round Oak's red-clay soils can sometimes be cheaper locally because of regional sourcing. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and can provide an exact delivered price for your zip code and driveway access.

Coverage depends on the depth you need: one ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8 cubic yards (about 22 cubic feet), so it will cover about 270 sq ft at a 1-inch depth or about 135 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. For typical grading or low spots you may need 3 to 6 inches of fill, so calculate accordingly and use Hello Gravel's material calculator for a site-specific estimate. Always allow extra for compaction and uneven ground.

A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which for fill dirt is roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and compaction. At typical local rates that can translate to roughly $150 to $600 per truckload delivered, though final prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and site access.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose material, which equates to roughly 12 to 18 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and how tightly it is compacted. End-dump or larger trucks can carry more, but weight limits and local road restrictions may apply in Round Oak. When you order, Hello Gravel will confirm the expected truck size and estimated tonnage for your delivery.

Yes — fill dirt is generally less expensive than crushed gravel because it is unprocessed native soil and does not require crushing or wAshing. Gravel has additional processing and is sold for specific uses like drainage or driveways, so its per-ton price is usually higher than fill dirt. If cost is the main concern for backfilling or raising grade, fill dirt is usually the more economical choice.

To keep costs down, order in bulk (more tons reduces the per-ton delivery cost), choose standard delivery (2+ business days) rather than rush service, and compare local supplier quotes through Hello Gravel. If you have a truck and trailer, picking up from a local supplier can save delivery fees, but be sure you can legally and safely transport the load. Avoid free or unknown sources unless you verify the soil is clean and free of debris or contaminants.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. You can request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess safety and practicality on arrival, but be prepared to have tools or labor ready if precise grading is needed. For larger or finished-grade jobs consider hiring a local contractor for compacting and final grading.
