Large fills or areas that need structural support should use engineered fill or compacted granular material; if in doubt, consult a contractor or Hello Gravel for material recommendations.

Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet * depth in inches) / 324. For example, to add 6 inches of fill to a 1,000 sq ft area you need about 18.5 cubic yards (1,000 * 6 / 324 = 18.5); add 5-10% extra for compaction and settling when ordering.

Large grading, drainage changes, or fills near streams and wetlands can require permits or erosion controls in Schley County and under state regulations. Before big projects, contact the Schley County building/zoning office or the local soil and water conservation district to confirm requirements.

Clear the drop area of vehicles, low-hanging wires, and obstacles, and confirm the truck can access the site and turn around; trucks are typically tri-axle and need room to maneuver. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired but know drivers will assess safety on arrival, and confirm Hello Gravel's minimum order and delivery timing when you schedule.
