Most tri-axle trucks used in Georgia carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which is roughly 13 to 16 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Smaller tandem or single-axle trucks hold less — often 6 to 10 cubic yards — so confirm the truck type when ordering.

For bulk backfill and raising grade, fill dirt is almost always cheaper than gravel and is the usual choice for interior fills and grading. If you need drainage, a stable base, or a finished surface (driveway, path), use gravel or a gravel cap over compacted fill dirt; in West Georgia’s clay-rich soils, consider drainage needs when choosing.

One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) will cover about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches.

Fill dirt is mostly subsoil with little organic matter, so it is fine for building up grade or under structures but not good for final topsoil for lawns or planting. For grass, gardens, or beds, order screened topsoil or add a layer of topsoil over compacted fill dirt to support plant growth.
