Average delivered rates in the Hornbeak/West Tennessee region are commonly in the $12 to $25 per ton range, which translates to about $15 to $30 per cubic yard.

A typical two-car driveway (about 20 ft by 40 ft) at 2 inches deep equals roughly 5 cubic yards, or about 6–7 tons. Two inches of fill dirt is generally not sufficient for a durable driveway surface; it is usually only for minor grade adjustments. For a stable driveway you should plan for a compacted base layer and a stone driving surface—see the next question for recommended depths.

For driveway grade correction, use fill-dirt to build or level up by 4 to 8 inches in lifts with compaction between lifts; finish with 4 to 6 inches of compactable crushed stone or gravel as the driving surface. Fill-dirt is intended for bulk fill and grading rather than as the wearing surface. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading or compaction—hire a local contractor or request a paid spreading/compaction quote when needed.

Delivered-only pricing is separate from spreading and compaction labor. While Hello Gravel provides delivered pricing and may offer tailgate spreading at the driver's discretion, full spreading and compaction usually require a contractor or equipment operator and will add to the cost. For a reliable combined price, ask us to include local spreading/compaction services in your quote; costs vary by crew, equipment, and site conditions.

Yes. West Tennessee weather—especially heavy rain and saturated ground—can delay deliveries, reduce supplier availability, and make compaction difficult. Spring and late fall can be wet; for best results schedule delivery during drier periods and avoid placing or compacting fill immediately after heavy rain. If your site is muddy or has poor access, we may recommend waiting or arranging stabilization before delivery.

Tell us driveway width, gate height, overhead lines, and any tight turns or low-clearance obstacles so the driver can determine if a tri-axle truck can safely access the site. Also let us know about soft ground, parking restrictions, or permit requirements. Provide photos in the order notes or call our team—this helps avoid surprise fees or the need to re-route the delivery.

Fill-dirt is clean, compactable soil used to raise grades, fill low spots, or bring an area to a desired elevation; it usually contains few organic materials. Use it for subgrade build-up, under patios, or to correct drainage elevations, but not as a finished surface. If you need planting or lawn topsoil, choose topsoil rather than fill-dirt; our team can help you pick the right material for your Hornbeak project.
