Fill-dirt in Rogersville, TN

Delivered fill-dirt in Rogersville typically runs about $15 to $30 per cubic yard (roughly $12 to $25 per ton), depending on supplier, screening, and truck distance. Prices vary with seasonal demand, moisture content, and whether the material is screened or clean, so use these as ballpark figures and request a delivered quote for exact pricing.

Most suppliers use tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 12 to 16 cubic yards, while larger end-dump or belly-dump trucks can carry 18 to 22 cubic yards. For rough estimating, plan on 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for fill-dirt and ask suppliers to calculate loads from your needed cubic yards; our material calculator or a site sketch makes this fast.

Standard delivery to Rogersville addresses is often included or modest for nearby suppliers, but extra charges can apply for next-day delivery, long haul distances, tight or steep driveways, multiple stops, or tailgate spreading requests. Drivers may refuse unsafe offloads, and suppliers may charge for permits, street-blocking, or when special equipment is required to place material.

Provide gate widths, driveway surface and slope, overhead clearances (wires, tree limbs), and photos of the entry and drop location so the hauler can determine whether a tri-axle or smaller truck is needed. Also mark your preferred drop spot on the day of delivery and note any parking or curb restrictions on your street to avoid delays or extra fees.

Rogersville is in Hawkins County and local rules can apply, especially for significant grading, changes that affect stormwater, or work in floodplains. Check with Rogersville City Hall or Hawkins County Building/Planning for permits and talk to your supplier if you need documentation for permits; they can often provide material details or delivery tickets to support the process.

For driveways and stable base pads, crushed stone or gravel is usually best because it provides drainage and a load-bearing surface, while fill dirt is intended to raise grade, backfill, or fill voids where drainage is not critical. For drainage solutions, a layered approach (stone base with fill dirt on top where needed) works well in West Tennessee’s seasons — stone for drainage and structural support, fill dirt for elevation and grade adjustments.

Screened or clean fill dirt has rocks, roots, and large debris removed, so it compacts more uniformly and settles less over time; unscreened fill dirt is cheaper but often contains organic material and debris that can decompose and cause future settling. If you need stable, low-settlement fill for patios, foundations, or close-to-grade landscaping, opt for screened fill even if the upfront cost is higher.

Drivers may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion, but full grading and mechanical compaction are usually billed separately by local contractors or supplier subcontractors at hourly or per-job rates. Expect spreading/grade work to be quoted based on time and equipment — for small yards plan on a few hours, while larger site work may require a skid steer or compacting plate and a separate estimate.

Hello Gravel’s nationwide minimum order is 3 tons, and many local suppliers serving Rogersville have similar minimums for small deliveries; bulk discounts commonly kick in for full truckloads (12+ cubic yards) or multiple-truck orders. If you need a large quantity, ask for a per-truck or per-ton discount and whether the supplier can stage deliveries to fit your schedule.

Yes — combining a crushed stone base with fill dirt on top is a common approach for driveways and yards; suppliers can often deliver separate materials or pre-blended mixes on request for an extra fee. Custom mixes or combined deliveries usually add 2 to 7 business days to lead time depending on supplier schedules and local availability, so plan ahead for project timelines.

Some settlement is normal; expect modest settling in the first 6 to 12 months as moisture and organic materials compress. To reduce settlement, use screened fill-dirt, compact in lifts (6 to 8 inches at a time), avoid using high-organic soils, and have heavier compaction equipment used by a contractor for areas that will bear weight or be paved.

Place an order on the Hello Gravel site or by phone, provide your delivery address, preferred drop location, approximate square footage and desired depth (or photos), and choose a delivery date on the checkout calendar; accepted payments include major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay.
