Fill Dirt in Rydal, GA

In West Georgia (including Rydal), fill dirt typically runs about $10 to $30 per ton. Because weight varies with moisture and compaction, that generally translates to roughly $13 to $40 per cubic yard. Exact price depends on local supplier, material quality, and delivery distance.

Delivered per-ton cost in the Rydal area depends on material price and your distance from the supplier; expect roughly $15 to $40 per ton delivered in most cases. Hello Gravel lists a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day avaIlable for a fee if ordered before noon CST.

A typical residential dump truck delivery (short to full load) in West Georgia usually costs between $150 and $600, depending on load size, travel distance, and site access. Full truckloads are cheaper per ton than short loads; tight access, extra handling, or placement requests can add fees.

Residential dump trucks commonly deliver roughly 8 to 16 cubic yards, which for fill dirt equates to about 10 to 20 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle trucks for deliveries; exact capacity varies by truck configuration, so ask your driver or supplier for the specific load size.

One cubic yard contains 27 cubic feet and will cover about 162 sq ft at 2u0022 depth, 81 sq ft at 4u0022 depth, and 54 sq ft at 6u0022 depth. Because 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons, one ton will cover roughly 40% to 80% of those areas (about 120–125 sq ft at 2u0022, 60–62 sq ft at 4u0022, and 40–42 sq ft at 6u0022 using a 1.3 tons/yd3 rule of thumb). Site conditions and compaction will change these numbers, so measure and round up when ordering.

For bulk filling and raising grade, plain fill dirt is usually cheaper per ton than gravel. For a driveway base you typically want crushed stone or gravel for drainage and compaction; while gravel costs more, it performs better long-term for driveways. For yards that only need elevation or backfill, fill dirt is the economical choice.

Ordering a full truckload (bulk delivery) is the cheapest per-ton option since delivery cost is spread across more material. Picking up material yourself from a local supplier can be cheapest if you have a truck and time. Short loads (under the supplier minimum) are convenient but have higher per-ton charges and possible short-load fees; Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so compare short-load fees before choosing.

Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and standard delivery is scheduled for 2+ business days; next-day delivery is avaIlable for an added fee if ordered before noon CST. Additional fees can apply for long travel distance, difficult access, or special placement requests, and drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion with no guarantee. For permits, check with your city or county planning/stormwater office before large fills—any work that alters drainage, slope, or creates runoff may require a permit in your jurisdiction.

Example: to raise a low area 20' x 30' by 4u0022 you need about 7.4 cubic yards (20*30*0.3333/27). That equals roughly 9 to 10 tons of fill dirt; at $15–$30 per ton delivered, expect a delivered material cost in the neighborhood of $140 to $300, plus any delivery or short-load fees.

Next-day delivery is commonly avaIlable through Hello Gravel if you place your order before noon CST, usually for an extra fee that varies by supplier and distance. Same-day delivery and placement are sometimes possible but depend on truck avaIlability and site conditions, and typically incur premium fees (often $75 to $250 extra). Always request preferred delivery timing at checkout and confirm any placement or spreading needs with the driver on arrival.
