Fill-dirt in Neeses, SC

Yes, fill-dirt is generally cheaper than finished gravel because it is less processed and often contains more fines and native soil. In Neeses, local suppliers usually price fill-dirt lower than decorative gravels, but final cost depends on haul distance, moisture content, and whether the dirt is screened or clean fill.

Costs vary by supplier and haul distance, but a tri-axle dump truck load (roughly 8-12 cubic yards loose) of fill-dirt in the Neeses area commonly falls within a wide range.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet (a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube). It covers roughly 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches — useful for planning small grading or backfill jobs around Neeses homes.

Fill-dirt density depends on moisture and composition, but a reasonable estimate is about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard in the Neeses area. Use that range to convert between tons and cubic yards when ordering, and ask Hello Gravel for local supplier densities if you need a precise weight for permits or truck limits.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 8 to 12 cubic yards loose, which will cover roughly 2,592 to 3,888 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 648 to 972 sq ft at 4 inches, or about 216 to 324 sq ft at 12 inches. Exact coverage depends on how much the material settles and whether you are compacting in place.

Most full-size pickup trucks can carry about 1 cubic yard of loose fill-dirt safely in terms of space, but weight is the bigger concern — 1 cubic yard can weigh about 1.2 to 1.6 tons. Check your truck's payload rating and local road weight rules before hauling; Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (3 tons) and can deliver directly to your site if a pickup is not appropriate.

Confirm with the supplier whether the fill is clean (free of large organic material and debris) and if it contains clay or sand, since Neeses soils and local climate affect drainage and compaction. Plan for compaction and order 10-20% extra for settlement, request delivery timing that fits your project, and use Hello Gravel’s quote and delivery scheduling to compare local suppliers and ensure the material meets your needs.
