Fill dirt is fine-textured soil used to raise or level grade and usually contains little to no rocks; it compacts to support structures and landscaping. Gravel is crushed stone or rounded rock used for drainage, base layers, and finished surfaces. For driveways or drainage you will usually use gravel on top of properly compacted fill dirt.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in West Ohio carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (roughly 12 to 18 tons), and a delivered truckload of fill dirt often costs between $150 and $450 depending on material and travel time. Exact truckload cost depends on supplier rates, truck availability, and distance to the source; request a quote through Hello Gravel for a firm price.

Coverage depends on depth and material density. One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.67 to 0.83 cubic yards; at 1 inch depth that covers about 216 to 270 sq ft, at 6 inches about 36 to 45 sq ft, and at 12 inches about 18 to 23 sq ft. Use our online calculator or contact support for a precise amount for your planned depth.

Generally yes: basic fill dirt is usually less expensive per cubic yard than comparable gravel because it is raw soil rather than processed rock. However, final project cost depends on installation needs: gravel may require less compaction and provide immediate usable surface, while fill dirt may require additional grading and compaction work.

For a single-car driveway 20 ft long and 10 ft wide, 4 to 6 inches of base fill is common. That equals about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 4 yd3) which is about 5 to 7 tons of fill dirt. If you plan deeper grading or a wider driveway, increase quantities accordingly and verify with our material calculator.

You can, but you should not place gravel over loose, uncompacted fill dirt. In freeze-thaw climates like Ohio, compacting fill dirt, installing a geotextile if needed, and using a crushed stone base will reduce settling and rutting. Ask the driver about tailgate spreading at delivery, but plan to compact the base after delivery for best results.

It depends on your truck's bed size and payload rating. One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards; many full-size pickups can carry about 0.5 to 1.5 cubic yards depending on payload limits. For safety and convenience, Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and we recommend using professional delivery trucks for most jobs.

It varies by truck type: a standard single-axle dump often carries 6 to 10 cubic yards (about 8 to 15 tons), while a tri-axle typically carries 10 to 12 cubic yards (about 12 to 18 tons). Actual tons depend on material density and moisture; request the truck type when ordering so we can estimate how many tons will be delivered.

Materials are regionally sourced, so Silver Lake fill dirt typically reflects local soil—often a mix of clay, silt, and sand—so texture and color can vary by supplier. If you need screened, compactable, or free-draining material, add details in Order Notes or ask our sales team so we can match you with the right local supplier. We do not guarantee exact color or particle makeup due to natural variation.

Contact Hello Gravel customer service as soon as possible and include photos, the delivery ticket, and a brief description of the issue. We will work with the local supplier and hauler to resolve the problem and refer you to our refund and resolution process. Quick reporting helps us address issues faster.
