Fill-dirt in New Hope, TN

Delivered fill-dirt prices in New Hope commonly range roughly from $12 to $30 per cubic yard and about $9 to $22 per ton, depending on supplier, volume, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and regional sourcing can affect price, so exact cost is available by entering your zip code and getting a quote. Prices vary with moisture content, screening, and whether any spreading or special truck access is needed.

Fill-dirt is mostly subsoil used to raise grade or fill holes but it does not provide a stable, draining surface for driveways or finished pads. For a driveway or base layer you will usually want gravel (crushed stone or #57) for drainage and compaction; use fill-dirt only to bring a site up to grade before installing a gravel base. In West Tennessee, where clay and wetter soils are common, combine properly compacted fill with a gravel wearing course for the best long-term performance.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2 or more business days, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee; some local routes may offer free standard delivery. Delivery fees vary by neighborhood access and distance—small orders or tight-access sites in New Hope may incur extra charges, which will be shown at checkout or on your quote.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards (1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft = 500 cubic ft; 500/27 = 18.5 yd3). Multiply that by your per-yard price—for example, at $15/yd3 the material cost is about $280; at $25/yd3 it is about $460. Always order 5-10% extra to allow for settling and compaction, and request a full quote from Hello Gravel for an accurate delivered price to New Hope.

Yes. Some residential streets, neighborhood covenants, and local bridges in West Tennessee restrict large or overweight trucks, or limit access during soft ground seasons. Hello Gravel coordinates with local haulers who know regional restrictions and can arrange smaller trucks, split loads, or necessary permits when required. If you have narrow streets, utility lines, or HOA rules, note those in your order and check with local authorities if you expect unusual restrictions.

Many drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request it at checkout but note there are no guarantees because of safety and site conditions. Mechanical spreading and proper compaction typically require separate equipment and crew; some suppliers or local contractors can provide spreading and compaction for an additional fee, often charged by hour or project (typical small-equipment rates vary widely by job). For foundation or structural work in New Hope, hire a contractor to deliver, spread, and compact to required specifications rather than relying on tailgate spreading alone.

Yes, some suppliers in West Tennessee offer screened or clean fill and can supply engineered fill that meets project specs, but availability varies by supplier and job size. For foundation work you should request engineered fill and compaction testing (proctor/density tests) in writing; larger commercial or structural jobs often have suppliers who will provide certified test results for an extra fee. Always confirm documentation availability before ordering if your project requires inspected, tested fill.

Yes. Suppliers typically offer tiered pricing and better per-yard rates on larger orders, so orders over 10 or 20 cubic yards often receive discounts. Hello Gravel accepts major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay at checkout and can connect contractors with account options or negotiated pricing for recurring large orders—contact sales for a custom quote.

Standard scheduling is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee. Same-day delivery can sometimes be arranged depending on local supplier and truck availability but is not guaranteed and usually carries a rush fee; contact Hello Gravel as early as possible to check availability. Use the checkout calendar to schedule a preferred delivery date and add delivery notes to help haulers plan access in New Hope.

Haul-away fees depend on volume, local disposal facility costs, and distance; many haulers charge by truckload or by cubic yard. In West Tennessee, homeowner-sized haul-away jobs commonly range from about $100 to $400 per load, but prices can be higher for long hauls, contaminated soil, or special disposal requirements. Get a written quote from suppliers or local landscape contractors before scheduling removal and ask whether disposal sites require special permits or testing.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in Hello Gravel’s network carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards loose; smaller single-axle trucks often carry 6 to 9 cubic yards. Drivers will try to place material where requested, but placement can be limited by driveway width, overhead wires, soft ground, and safety concerns; include delivery notes and photos when ordering so the driver can plan. If you need specific placement, spreading, or stacking, mention it at checkout and be prepared for possible additional fees or the need for smaller equipment.
