Delivered fill-dirt prices in Pinson typically range by supplier and truck size, but expect about $20 to $35 per cubic yard delivered in West Tennessee. Final price depends on your exact zip code, access, and whether a small-load or delivery fee applies, so get a quote for an accurate number.

A 10-cubic-yard load in West Tennessee will commonly cost roughly $200 to $350 delivered, based on typical per-yard rates and local hauling. Remember many orders are quoted by volume and Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum, so talk to our rep to confirm truck size and any extra delivery charges.

One cubic yard of fill dirt weighs roughly 2,000 to 2,700 pounds (about 1.0 to 1.35 tons), depending on moisture and soil type. For homeowners we recommend pricing by cubic yard because that matches project volume calculations; contractors sometimes prefer per-ton pricing for large bulk orders.

Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks that deliver about 10 to 12 cubic yards (roughly 10 to 15 tons depending on soil). For coverage, 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover about 81 sq ft at a 4-inch depth (or 324 sq ft at 1 inch), so a 10-yd load covers roughly 810 sq ft at 4 inches deep.

Cost depends on width and required depth, but as an example a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway is 200 sq ft. Raising that by 2 inches needs about 1.23 cubic yards, but because Hello Gravel has minimum orders and truck minimums you may need to order at least 3 tons or more; estimated delivered material cost would be modest per yard (roughly $20–$35/yd) but small-project fees or minimums can raise the total, so request a quote for your exact dimensions.

Fill dirt is commonly used to build up low spots and level yards, but it is not a finished top layer for lawns and performs poorly for driveway surfaces without a compacted gravel base. Hello Gravel coordinates delivery only; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but professional compaction and site prep are recommended after delivery to avoid settling and uneven surfaces.

Fill dirt is usually cheaper by volume than crushed stone, but it does not drain well or provide a stable driving surface. For driveways choose gravel or crushed stone for the base layer and use fill dirt only for minor grade adjustments or to raise low spots where drainage is not required.

Yes, Hello Gravel serves small towns where supplier coverage exists, but availability depends on your zip code and local suppliers. Our stated minimum order is 3 tons; many areas include free delivery, but remote or very small towns may have an extra delivery charge — check availability and fees by entering your zip code or contacting our team.

You can spread fill dirt over existing soil for small adjustments, but if the existing surface is organic topsoil, very soft, or has poor drainage you should remove unsuitable material, use geotextile for stability, or add compactible fill and a gravel base for driveways. Drivers may spread material at their discretion, but we recommend planning for mechanical compaction and proper layer thickness to limit future settling.

Standard delivery requires 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. To provide an accurate quote we need your delivery address or zip code, quantity needed (cubic yards or area/depth), site access details (driveway width, overhead wires, gates), preferred delivery date, and a contact phone number; photos of the site are also very helpful.
