Fill-dirt in Mckenzie, TN

A delivered load price varies by supplier, truck size, and your location in McKenzie. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 12-18 tons for fill dirt) and delivered loads in West Tennessee commonly fall in the range of $200 to $800 depending on material quality and distance. Hello Gravel provides upfront quotes for your zip code so you can see exact pricing and delivery fees before you order.

Fill dirt delivered in West Tennessee is often priced around $15 to $40 per cubic yard and about $12 to $30 per ton, though local geology and hauling distance affect those numbers.

Raising 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches requires about 6.17 cubic yards of fill dirt (1000 * 2/12 / 27). That equals roughly 7.5 to 8.6 tons depending on moisture and compaction, and at typical delivered prices ($15-$40/yd3) expect material costs of about $93 to $247, plus any delivery or spreading fees.

Hello Gravel can deliver fill dirt to residential McKenzie addresses, but spreading and grading is performed at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. If you need professional spreading or grading, plan to hire a local landscaper or contractor; typical labor or small-scale contractor fees for spreading and grading run from about $100 to $600 depending on area and difficulty. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout and we recommend noting site access and obstacles to help the driver assess feasibility.

Fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel because it contains finer soil and less crushed stone. In McKenzie you might pay about $15-$40/yd3 for fill dirt versus $30-$60/yd3 for base gravel, but gravel performs better as a load-bearing base for driveways, so gravel is often the right choice for driveways despite higher material cost.

Costs vary with driveway width and depth; for example, a 20-foot-long by 10-foot-wide driveway (200 sq ft) with 4 inches of fill dirt base and 4 inches of gravel topping needs about 2.5 cubic yards of each material (5 total cubic yards). Using typical delivered prices, expect $40-$175 for fill dirt and $75-$300 for gravel, plus delivery and labor; contractor installation and compaction can add several hundred dollars, so a rough total might be $400 to $1,200.

Use cubic yards = (square feet * depth in inches) / 324. For every 1,000 sq ft: 1u0022 = 3.09 cu yd (≈3.7–4.3 tons), 2u0022 = 6.17 cu yd (≈7.4–8.6 tons), 6u0022 = 18.5 cu yd (≈22–26 tons). Multiply the cubic yards by your local delivered price per cubic yard to estimate material cost for McKenzie projects.

Compaction is recommended for most grade-raising projects to prevent settling; renting a plate compactor costs about $75-$200/day or hiring a contractor for compaction and grading may cost a few hundred dollars. Geotextile fabric is often used under driveways or in wet spots and typically adds $0.30-$1.00 per square foot for materials plus installation. Always check McKenzie city or Carroll County regulations for permits if you are changing drainage, altering elevation near property lines, or working on a new driveway, since permit requirements and fees vary locally.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order equivalent (our platform generally requires a minimum of about 3 tons), so 1-yard deliveries are not commonly available through our standard service. If you need less than the minimum, contact our team and we can try to match you with local suppliers or landscapers who may accommodate smaller loads or you can pick up the material yourself from a local yard.

Standard delivery lead time is typically 2+ business days for McKenzie, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Weekend or after-hours deliveries depend on local hauler availability and may incur extra charges; check available delivery dates in the Hello Gravel checkout calendar for specific options and fees for your zip code.
