Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in feet) / 27. For example, to raise a 1,000 sq ft area by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards, which at roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard equals about 11 to 13 tons. Always order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading.

Some light projects can get away with placing fill-dirt over existing soil, but for reliable results you should clear vegetation, remove roots and debris, and correct steep spots or soft areas first. Poorly prepared surfaces can settle unevenly; for structural work, driveways, or near foundations prepare and compact the base before adding more fill.

Yes—compaction is important for stability and to reduce future settling; compact in 4 to 6 inch lifts for best results. Hello Gravel does not guarantee compaction services from delivery drivers; if you need compaction, plan to rent a plate compactor or hire a local contractor with the right equipment.

It depends on the project and soil conditions: in areas with clay or poor drainage (common in parts of West Tennessee) a geotextile fabric can help separate subgrade from fill and reduce mixing, and stone dust or a crushed stone base improves drainage under driveways. For lawn or simple grading, geotextile may not be necessary, but for driveways, patios, or slopes we recommend a proper base and drainage plan.

Delivery is included per your order, and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but it is not guaranteed. Full spreading, grading, or clean-up are usually separate services provided by local contractors; rates vary by crew and equipment, so we recommend getting a local labor quote or asking our team to connect you with pros in the Finger area.

Yes—large fills, changes to drainage, or work near waterways or septic systems can require county permits or approvals; Finger is in McNairy County, so check county planning and public works before major fills. Also factor in local floodplain or creek setbacks and erosion-control rules when placing fill in low-lying areas.
