A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, and weight can range widely based on moisture (often about 10 to 16 tons). Cost depends on load size, delivery distance, and local availability—request a Hello Gravel quote for a delivered truckload price to your West Georgia job site.

For a 20 ft by 10 ft area at a common 4-inch depth you need about 2.5 cubic yards (20 x 10 x 4/12 = 66.7 cu ft = 2.5 cu yd); round up 10% for compaction and settling. Delivery cost depends on the total order and address; use Hello Gravel’s online calculator or request a quote for an accurate delivered price to Summerville.

Hello Gravel’s platform generally works with minimums (many suppliers/haulers start around a 3-ton minimum), but some local suppliers or garden centers in the Summerville area may do 1-yard deliveries—ask our team to check availability. A single cubic yard of fill dirt can be heavy and may exceed many pickup truck payload limits; always check your truck’s payload rating before self-hauling to avoid damage or unsafe loads.

For projects larger than a few cubic yards, bulk delivery from a local hauler arranged through Hello Gravel is usually the most cost-effective because it spreads truck costs over more material. For very small amounts, DIY pickup or buying from a local landscaping yard can be cheaper if you already have a rated vehicle or can borrow/rent one—factor in truck rental, fuel, and time when comparing options.

For general yard grading you can place fill dirt over existing soil, but you should spread it in thin lifts and compact to limit settling. For driveways and concrete pads in Summerville’s clay-rich soil, install a proper compacted gravel base and compact each layer—fill dirt alone is not a suitable wearing surface and can cause drainage and stability problems if used under a driveway without gravel and compaction.

Coverage varies with material density, but a practical estimate is about 120–130 sq ft at 2 inches and roughly 80–90 sq ft at 3 inches per ton of fill dirt in our region. Use these figures only as a starting point and ask Hello Gravel for help calculating coverage for your exact project and desired depth.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet; with a standard 3-cubic-foot wheelbarrow that’s about nine wheelbarrow loads (larger contractor wheelbarrows hold more, so counts vary from roughly 9 to 12 loads). We recommend ordering 5–15% extra material to allow for spreading, compaction, and settling depending on your project.

A typical tri-axle load from our supplier network usually contains about 10 to 14 cubic yards and often weighs in the range of 10 to 16 tons for fill dirt, depending on moisture and compaction.

Fill dirt is generally the least expensive option for raising or leveling because it’s intended as structural fill and has fewer fines for planting. If you plan to plant grass, flowers, or a garden, order topsoil on top of your fill for a healthy planting medium; for driveways or areas that need drainage and compaction, choose crushed stone or gravel over fill dirt as the wearing surface.
