Fill Dirt in Maury County, TN

Prices vary by source, moisture, and truck size, but in Maury County fill-dirt commonly ranges from about $10 to $30 per cubic yard (roughly $15 to $40 per ton delivered). Exact pricing depends on supplier and delivery logistics; use Hello Gravel to get a quoted price for your zip code and project size.

Most tri-axle dump trucks in our Maury County network carry about 12 to 15 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt, which is roughly 7 to 10 tons depending on moisture and soil composition. Heavier or lighter loads are possible, so confirm the truck capacity when you request a quote.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. That covers about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth, 54 sq ft at 6 inches, and 27 sq ft at 12 inches; add 10–20% extra for compaction and settlement when planning your order.

For a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway with a 4-inch base you need about 2.5 cubic yards of fill-dirt before compaction. With a 15% allowance for compaction and grading, plan on about 3 cubic yards; if your soil is unstable or you need a thicker base, order more and consult a contractor.

For small leveling jobs or shallow fills, many homeowners in Maury County can do the work with basic tools or a rented wheelbarrow and plate compactor. For deeper fills, structural work, or drainage-sensitive sites you should hire equipment and a pro and check county regulations to make sure compaction, grading, and erosion controls meet local requirements.

Hello Gravel connects you with local Maury County suppliers and haulers so you can order fill-dirt online and schedule delivery. You can also check local landscape suppliers or construction material yards, but always ask the supplier to certify the material is clean fill (no contaminated or organic material) before purchase.

Fill-dirt can settle over time, especially if placed without proper compaction or on organic soils, which may cause uneven surfaces or drainage changes. It usually lacks topsoil for planting, can affect neighboring drainage if not graded properly, and moisture in Maury County clay-rich soils can increase weight and settling risk.

The least expensive options are reusing on-site material or sourcing from local construction sites or borrow pits, but cost savings can come with risks like contamination or permit issues. For peace of mind in Maury County, buy from reputable suppliers through Hello Gravel who can confirm material source and delivery, even if the per-yard price is slightly higher.

You may need permits or erosion-control measures for large fills, especially near streams, wetlands, or steep slopes; requirements vary by project and location. Check with the Maury County Building and Codes office and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation for specific permitting and stormwater rules before starting large fills.

Yes. For structural fills or anything supporting a foundation or septic system in Maury County, get a geotechnical or soil compaction test so engineers can specify proper compaction, fill type, and any stabilization needed to avoid future settlement or failure.

Place fill in thin lifts (usually 4–8 inches loose) and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller to achieve good density; final grade should include positive slope for drainage away from structures. Local soils in Maury County can be clayey, so control moisture during placement and keep erosion controls in place until vegetation or surfacing is established.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, fill-dirt appearance and texture can vary in Maury County due to local geology and season. We recommend asking for a supplier description, inspecting a small truckload if possible, and noting appearance preferences in your order notes, but exact matches are not guaranteed.
