In the Buchanan/West Tennessee area, delivered fill-dirt often runs roughly $10 to $30 per ton, depending on local supply. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards, which for loose fill-dirt is roughly 12 to 20 tons; actual tonnage depends on the dirt moisture and material density.

Assuming a single-car driveway 20 feet long by 10 feet wide at 2 inches deep, you need about 1.6 tons of loose fill-dirt (about 1.24 cubic yards). Because our minimum order is 3 tons, you would order 3 tons; using the local price range ($10 to $30 per ton) expect material cost of about $30 to $90 plus any delivery fee or truck minimum.

A tri-axle truck with 10 to 14 cubic yards will cover roughly 1,600 to 2,300 square feet at a 2-inch depth or about 400 to 600 square feet at a 6-inch depth. Delivery fees vary with distance and supplier; many Buchanan-area deliveries have no delivery fee within a certain radius, but remote deliveries or next-day requests may add $50 to several hundred dollars — get a quote for exact delivery costs.

Two inches of fill-dirt is generally too thin for a stable driveway base; most driveways need 4 to 6 inches of compacted base material for long-term performance. That doubles or triples the material needed: for a 20x10 driveway, 4 inches requires about 3.2 tons and 6 inches about 4.8 tons, so material cost will increase proportionally (use local per-ton pricing to estimate total cost).

You can place fill-dirt over existing soil, but proper installation usually requires grading and compaction to avoid settling and drainage problems. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery only; tailgate spreading may be offered by drivers at their discretion but compaction and site prep are not provided — we recommend hiring a local contractor or renting a compactor for best results.

For a 20x10 driveway with a 4-inch compacted fill-dirt base and a 3-inch gravel surface, you would need about 3.2 tons of fill-dirt and about 2.8 tons of gravel (roughly 6 tons total). Using typical local ranges (fill-dirt $10-$30/ton, gravel $25-$45/ton) expect material costs roughly $150 to $330 plus any delivery fees; final pricing depends on supplier, delivery distance, and whether spreading/compaction is required.

A standard tri-axle dump truck in West Tennessee usually carries 10 to 14 cubic yards; for loose fill-dirt that translates to about 12 to 20 tons per load depending on moisture and soil type.

Fill-dirt prices can fluctuate with seasonal demand and site access (wet or frozen ground can limit deliveries and raise costs). For large fills that change grade or drainage, you may need local permits or approvals — check with your county or municipal building/engineering office before ordering big deliveries, and let us know if site access is limited so we can coordinate properly.
