In the Greenville-Anderson region, expect similar ranges: a 10-yard load commonly falls between $150 and $450, while a 20-yard load is often $300 to $800. Per-yard price usually decreases as volume increases, but final cost depends on material type, haul distance, and whether you request additional services like tailgate spreading.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. At 1 inch (1/12 ft) it covers about 324 square feet, at 3 inches about 108 square feet, and at 6 inches about 54 square feet. Plan to order 10-20% extra to allow for compaction and settling, especially for heavy clay or damp soils common in the Spartanburg area.

You might physically fit about 1 cubic yard in a full-size pickup bed, but the weight of fill dirt (often 2,000 to 3,000 lb per cubic yard depending on moisture) can exceed typical truck payloads. For safety and to avoid damaging your truck, check the vehicle payload rating before hauling; professional dump truck delivery from Hello Gravel is usually safer and more convenient.

If your driveway is 20 feet long by 10 feet wide (200 sq ft), you would need about 1.85 cubic yards for 3 inches, 3.7 cubic yards for 6 inches, and about 7.4 cubic yards for a 12-inch lift. Typical delivered cost for those amounts in Spartanburg would roughly range from $80 to $300 for smaller volumes and $200 to $800 for larger fills, depending on material quality and delivery distance. Note: fill dirt is for raising grade and subbase; a compactable gravel base is recommended for the driving surface.

Two inches of fill dirt is generally too thin for driveway work because it offers little compaction or structural support. For a driveway you should plan on a compacted subgrade of at least 4 to 8 inches of engineered fill or granular base, plus 2 to 3 inches of surface gravel. Use fill dirt to build grade or fill low spots, then finish with a proper base material for durability.

The least expensive option is usually raw excavation or borrow fill from local pits, which can be sandy or high in clay. While cheap options work for rough grade raises and backfill, they may contain organics or high clay that shrink, settle, or hold water, making them less suitable as a structural base for driveways. Ask suppliers for soil composition and choose screened, compactable fill for areas needing stability.

Delivery fees vary with distance, truck type, and site access; in many Spartanburg-area deliveries you may see little to no delivery charge, while longer hauls or restricted access can add $50 to $250 or more.

Yes, most suppliers offer lower per-yard pricing for larger volumes, and contractors often get better rates due to repeat business and larger orders. If you are ordering multiple truckloads, ask suppliers or Hello Gravel about volume pricing, staging options, and the best truck size to minimize total cost. Remember to factor in delivery, compaction, and possible spreading charges when comparing quotes.

Spartanburg has several landscape supply yards, dirt pits, and construction material suppliers that handle fill dirt and dump truck deliveries; Hello Gravel connects you with vetted local suppliers and contracted haulers. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed, so request it at checkout and plan for an assessment on arrival. Call Hello Gravel support if you need help selecting suppliers that match your project needs.
