It depends on the job: gravel is excellent where drainage and a stable base are needed, while fill dirt is used to raise grade and backfill where you plan to cover with topsoil or hardscape. For structural fills near foundations or compacted subgrades, follow your engineer or contractor’s recommendation—neither material is a universal substitute.

Fill dirt is used to raise yard grades, eliminate low spots, build up areas for patios or sheds, and backfill trenches or basements. Because Moore County soils are often sandy, fill dirt helps shape grades before you place topsoil or hardscape materials.

A tri-axle dump truck typically holds about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill. At 2 inches depth one 12-yard load covers roughly 1,900 to 2,100 sq ft; at 6 inches it covers about 640 to 700 sq ft. Exact coverage depends on truck size and how tightly you spread the material.

One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8 to 0.9 cubic yards, which equals about 22 to 24 cubic feet. Spread 2 inches deep, 1 ton covers around 120 to 140 sq ft; at 6 inches it covers about 40 to 50 sq ft. Use these figures as estimates and round up to account for compaction and settling.

Fill dirt is low in organic matter and is often compacted, so it is not a good planting medium on its own. For lawns, gardens, and planting beds, place several inches of quality topsoil over engineered fill or blend fill with topsoil; contractors commonly add 4 to 6 inches of topsoil for lawns and deeper for gardens.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery of materials but does not guarantee compaction or landscaping installation as part of standard service. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; for compaction and installation, we recommend hiring a local contractor or compaction specialist and we can help connect you to local pros if needed.

Yes—contractor pricing and volume discounts are often available depending on supplier and order size. Contact our sales team or request a quote through the site to see contractor rates and bulk pricing for your project.

Measure the length, width, and depth in feet of the area to be filled and use the formula (L x W x D) / 27 to get cubic yards. Then add 10 to 25 percent extra to account for compaction and settling; if you’re unsure, send photos and dimensions to our team and we can help check your calculations.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days after ordering, with next-day delivery sometimes available if ordered before noon CST and if local haulers can accommodate. Minimum orders start at 3 tons, delivery is by contracted dump trucks, and you can request a preferred delivery date in checkout—confirm availability for your zip code.

Fill dirt alone will not harden like concrete. For a firm driveway or base, contractors typically use compacted crushed stone or gravel as the structural layer and then compact it with equipment; fill dirt can be used behind that base for grade work but is not a substitute for a compacted aggregate base or concrete.
