A standard tri-axle dump truck in our network usually carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt (roughly 13 to 16 tons), and costs in Flintville generally fall between $200 and $600 per load.

Two inches of loose fill-dirt is a small change and will likely settle over time, so it is usually not enough if you need a permanent raise or to correct drainage. For minor adjustments 4 to 6 inches compacted is a safer starting point, and larger grade changes require incremental placement and compaction to avoid future settlement.

Yes. Fill-dirt is typically cheaper than topsoil because it contains little organic material and is used for building grade rather than planting. If you plan to grow grass or plants on the raised area, budget for a final layer of topsoil or planting mix in addition to the cheaper fill-dirt.

Use this simple formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet) x (depth in inches) / 324. For example, to raise a 1,000 sq ft yard by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards; multiply that by a weight estimate (roughly 1.1–1.6 tons per cubic yard) and add 5-10% for compaction and waste when ordering.

One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft pile and will cover about 100 sq ft at 3 inches deep. A typical tri-axle truck load of fill-dirt (10–12 cubic yards) will fill a small backyard area several inches deep, but exact coverage varies with how much you compact the material.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers and contracted haulers to deliver fill-dirt in the Flintville area; check your zip code for availability.

Have a plan for compaction: place fill in thin lifts and compact between passes to reduce future settling, and avoid burying organic debris that can decompose and leave voids. Because West Tennessee soils vary, mention any drainage or utility concerns when ordering, and consider a final layer of topsoil if you’ll be planting on the filled area.
