Generally, fill dirt is less expensive than gravel because it requires less processing and is intended for bulk earthwork rather than structural surfaces. Gravel is a better choice where drainage or a stable driving surface is needed and will cost more. Choose fill dirt for bulk volume to raise grade and gravel where strength and drainage are required.

A full-size pickup bed typically holds about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards loose with the tailgate down, but that does not account for compacted weight. Dirt is heavy and can easily exceed your truck's payload rating, risking damage or unsafe driving. We recommend ordering delivery from Hello Gravel (minimum 3 tons) or checking your truck’s payload before hauling material yourself.

You can use fill dirt to raise low spots, but projects near the Pee Dee River or designated floodplains may require permits and engineered fill procedures to avoid erosion and water flow issues. Compacting lifts properly and using appropriate materials is important to prevent settling and washout. Contact the Cheraw town or Chesterfield County building department before major grading, and ask Hello Gravel about compaction-friendly fill options.

A 1/4 acre is about 10,890 sq ft; raising it 3 inches (0.25 ft) requires roughly 2,722.5 cubic feet, which equals about 101 cubic yards. Because fill compacts, order 5% to 10% extra material to allow for settling and grading. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team for a project-specific estimate and delivery plan.

Drivers may be able to perform limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but it is not guaranteed and depends on site access, safety, and truck type. Request spreading at checkout and note that professional spreading/compaction often requires separate equipment and contractors. If you need full spreading and grading, ask our team for recommendations for local contractors in the Cheraw area.

Fill dirt sourced near Cheraw often reflects Pee Dee region soils, commonly sandy to sandy-loam mixes with variable clay content; exact texture varies by supplier. Because Hello Gravel sources locally, color and consistency may differ from photos — you can add preferences in Order Notes, and we’ll pass them to suppliers. If you need a specific gradation (low-organic, clay-free, screened), request that when ordering so suppliers can match your needs.

Standard delivery is typically 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available if ordered before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and most deliveries are on tri-axle dump trucks; confirm access and preferred drop location during checkout. If you need a narrow delivery window or special handling, contact our team at 855-241-8884 or text 844-407-3734 to coordinate.
