Per ton, fill dirt is usually cheaper than crushed gravel because it is looser, less processed material and often sourced locally. However, they serve different purposes: fill dirt is for raising or leveling ground while gravel is used for surfaces, so compare final project needs rather than price per ton alone.

Fill dirt can be used as a base to raise or level the driveway footprint but is not a recommended finished surface because it compacts and erodes. Gravel provides drainage and a stable driving surface; typical practice is to place and compact fill dirt where needed, then cap it with several inches of gravel for a durable driveway.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery only; we do not provide full installation or graded sitework. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if requested at checkout, but this service is not guaranteed and is performed only when safe and feasible.

Yes—compaction is recommended before adding gravel, especially in West Tennessee where local soils can include clay that shifts with moisture. Proper compaction with a plate compactor or roller reduces settlement and helps gravel perform as intended; plan for heavier equipment if you are raising several inches.

For Lynnville we typically offer screened or clean fill-dirt and bulk fill (unscreened) depending on supplier and regional availability. Screened fill is finer and better for grading and compaction while bulk fill is less processed and better for large earthwork; material options will be listed on your local product page and in the checkout.

Use this rule of thumb: 1 cubic yard covers 27 cubic feet, and 1 cubic yard of fill dirt weighs about 1.3 tons (varies by moisture). For 1,000 sq ft: 3u0022 depth = ~9.3 cubic yards (≈12 tons), 6u0022 = ~18.5 cubic yards (≈24 tons), 12u0022 = ~37 cubic yards (≈48 tons). Add 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and settlement.

Using a delivered price range of $15 to $35 per ton, a 3u0022 raise on 1,000 sq ft (about 12 tons) would cost roughly $180 to $420 delivered. A 6u0022 raise (about 24 tons) would be about $360 to $840; final cost depends on your Lynnville zip code, supplier, and any delivery access fees—get an exact quote at checkout.

If you mean a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft), a 3u0022 layer requires about 1.9 cubic yards (≈2.5 tons), which is below our 3-ton minimum so you would order the 3-ton minimum. At $15–$35 per ton, expect a delivered cost in the neighborhood of $45 to $105 for the material, with delivery fees depending on your exact Lynnville location and truck access.

Clear the drop area of debris, vehicles, and low-hanging branches and mark the preferred dump location with stakes or cones. Ensure a stable access route for a tri-axle dump truck and let us know any tight turns or gate codes ahead of time; if the truck cannot safely access the drop point, the driver may refuse to dump or will place material at the nearest safe location.
