In West Tennessee expect a delivered price roughly between $10 and $30 per ton for fill-dirt. A typical truckload for local dump trucks usually contains material equal to about 12 to 20 tons, so a full truckload commonly costs in the $120 to $600 range before any special delivery fees.

Local tri-axle dump trucks commonly carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of material. For fill-dirt that converts roughly to 12 to 20 tons per load depending on moisture and compaction, so use that range when planning material needs.

If your driveway is 20 ft long by 10 ft wide at 4 inches deep, you need roughly 3 to 5 tons of fill-dirt. At $10 to $30 per ton, material and delivery would typically be in the $30 to $150 range, but Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and delivery may add a separate fee—request a quote with your exact dimensions and zip code for a precise price.

No, 2 inches of fill-dirt is not sufficient for a driveway. For a stable driveway you typically need a compacted base of 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone under the driving surface; fill-dirt is more suitable for raising grade or filling low spots, not as a driving surface. If you only plan to add 2 inches of grade, consider ordering enough fill to reach the desired finished elevation plus additional base material and compaction as needed.

Per ton, fill-dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel or stone, because it is a basic soil product. However, for driveway base work crushed stone performs better long-term—so while fill-dirt saves money up front, you’ll likely need gravel or stone on top for durability, which changes the overall cost and performance trade-off.

You can add fill-dirt over existing soil to raise grade, but you should remove organic topsoil, regrade, and compact in lifts to reduce future settling. For driveways or paths, install a well-compacted sub-base and use geotextile fabric or crushed stone as the driving surface; this prevents rutting and improves drainage in West Tennessee’s seasonal climate.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery is typically scheduled 2+ business days after ordering, with a next-day option for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier and distance; many local suppliers include delivery in the listed price but always confirm at checkout or ask our team for a zip-code-specific estimate.

Some Spring City area contractors and haulers offer spreading, grading, and compaction as an add-on, but availability and pricing vary. Budget depends on job size and local labor rates—small jobs may be a few hundred dollars while larger site work can run higher—so get written quotes that list spreading, compaction, and any equipment charges before scheduling the work.
