A typical pickup truck bed can carry about 0.5 to 1.0 cubic yard of loose fill-dirt, which usually weighs about 0.8 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and soil type. For larger or heavier loads in Washburn, it is safer and more cost effective to order by the truckload through Hello Gravel rather than relying on multiple pickup trips.

A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly used in our network carries about 8 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt. At 6 inches depth one cubic yard covers 54 sq ft, so a 10-cubic-yard load covers roughly 540 sq ft at 6u0022 (or about 1,080 sq ft at 3u0022). Exact coverage depends on requested depth and compaction needs for your Washburn site.

The most affordable options are to use clean onsite excavated material when available or buy in bulk and have it delivered rather than hauling small loads yourself. Compare local suppliers, factor in haul distance and delivery fees, and get quotes through Hello Gravel to see negotiated local rates and delivery windows for West Tennessee.

Two inches of fill-dirt is generally too shallow for long-term grading or a driveway base. For lawn leveling 3 to 4 inches of loose fill may be a minimum before final topsoil, while structural areas like a driveway should have 6 to 12 inches of properly compacted fill and a gravel base. In Washburn's regional soils, plan for compaction and drainage rather than relying on a thin layer.

Cost depends on driveway width and desired depth, but for a single-lane 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway at 6 inches depth you need about 3.7 cubic yards (roughly 4 to 5 tons). At typical delivered fill-dirt pricing in West Tennessee, expect a rough material cost of about $100 to $250 plus any delivery fee or spreading labor—get a tailored quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price.
