Fill-dirt in Puryear, TN

Yes, fill dirt is usually cheaper than gravel in the Puryear/West Tennessee area because it is uncrushed soil without stone, so suppliers price it lower. Exact pricing depends on local supply, haul distance, and whether the material is screened or contains topsoil; expect fill dirt to cost noticeably less per ton than crushed stone or gravel. For a precise price, request a quote for your zip code and project size.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in West Tennessee carries roughly 10–14 cubic yards (about 13–18 tons) of fill dirt; delivered cost for a full load to Puryear commonly runs between $250 and $700 depending on distance, site access, and material type.

Fill dirt is primarily soil used to raise or level ground and retain compaction, while gravel is crushed rock used for drainage, driveways, and structural bases. For typical Puryear uses—grading a yard, backfilling a foundation, or raising a low spot—fill dirt is the right choice; use gravel where drainage or structural support is needed. If you need a mix (e.g., compactable base with drainage), ask our team for material recommendations.

To cover 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep you need about 12.35 cubic yards of fill dirt (1000 x 4 / 324).

For a precise estimate, tell us the target depth and access details and request a quote through Hello Gravel.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery by local contracted dump trucks and you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion based on safety and site conditions. We recommend noting u0022tailgate spreadu0022 in Order Notes and describing access, slope, and obstacles so the driver can assess; there is no guarantee of spreading. For guaranteed spreading or precise grading, consider hiring a local landscaper or equipment operator after delivery.

Because Puryear is in West Tennessee, regional soil tends to be clayey in places and material color/texture may vary; compact fill dirt in 6–8 inch lifts for best stability and avoid using fill dirt where drainage is required. If planting or finishing a lawn, add a topsoil layer or screened soil over fill dirt to support vegetation. Always request a local supplier quote and describe your project to ensure you get the right type of fill dirt for compaction, contamination-free material, and delivery access.
