Fill Dirt in Augusta, GA

Yes. Fill dirt is usually cheaper by volume than crushed gravel because it is unprocessed soil used to raise or level ground. In the Augusta area you can often expect fill dirt to run noticeably less per cubic yard than crushed stone, though exact pricing depends on local supply, hauling distance, and any screenings or rock content.

Prices vary by supplier and project size, but a typical range in the Augusta area is about $10 to $35 per cubic yard loose. A delivered truckload (roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards) commonly costs between $150 and $500 depending on distance, site access, and whether you need spreading or compaction services. For an exact cost check your zip code on Hello Gravel and get a local quote.

Most local dump trucks carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. In Augusta expect a delivered truckload to fall roughly in the $150 to $500 range, with lower rates for short hauls and larger orders, and higher rates for long-distance deliveries or restricted access sites. Remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and offers 2+ business day standard delivery and next-day options when available.

It depends on how deep you need the fill. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you will need about 12.3 cubic yards; at 6 inches you will need about 18.5 cubic yards. Use the depth you plan to add to calculate volume (area x depth) and ask Hello Gravel for a local quote to convert to truckloads.

That depends on the driveway width and desired depth. For a 20 ft by 10 ft area at 4 inches deep you would need about 2.5 cubic yards; at 6 inches that same area needs about 3.8 cubic yards. If your driveway is wider or you plan on compacting to a greater depth, order more and consult Hello Gravel for an accurate truckload recommendation.

A full-size pickup can usually carry roughly 1/2 to 1 cubic yard of loose material without overloading the vehicle, but payload ratings vary by truck. For safety and to protect your truck from damage, many homeowners choose to order a small truckload delivery instead of loading a pickup. If you plan to load your truck, check its payload capacity first.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, which is roughly a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube. Visually, that fits in a small area but piles up quickly, so delivered truckloads of 10+ cubic yards create a much larger mound on your driveway or yard. Remember regional soils around Augusta often include clay and red earth, so appearance and texture will vary.

Coverage depends on truck volume and desired depth. One cubic yard covers about 81 sq ft at 4 inches deep, so a 10-cubic-yard truck would cover roughly 810 sq ft at 4 inches. For common depths: a 10-yd truck covers about 1,620 sq ft at 2 inches, 810 sq ft at 4 inches, and 540 sq ft at 6 inches; adjust for compaction and slopes.

A typical wheelbarrow holds about 1.5 to 2 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 13 to 18 wheelbarrow loads depending on your wheelbarrow size. Expect closer to 15 loads for most homeowner wheelbarrows. Spreading by wheelbarrow is labour-intensive, so many customers prefer hiring spreading help or asking the driver if tailgate spreading is possible.

No, not directly. Fill dirt is low in organic matter and often compacted, so it makes a poor growing medium for grass. For a lawn, you should top the fill with 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or screened soil and then seed or sod; in Augusta the local clay content makes good topsoil especially important for drainage and root development.

Rates vary by company, scope, and equipment, but many landscapers charge between $50 and $100 per hour for labor in the Augusta area, or roughly $5 to $15 per cubic yard for basic spreading when handling larger quantities. Price depends on access, slope, how much grading or compaction is required, and whether extra hauling or disposal is needed. Contact local pros for project-specific bids or ask Hello Gravel for recommended contractors.

Coverage by weight varies with moisture and compaction, but a practical rule is that one ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.9 cubic yards in the Augusta area. Using 0.8 cubic yards as an example, one ton would cover about 65 sq ft at 4 inches deep. For precise conversions and a delivered quote, ask Hello Gravel to convert tons to cubic yards for your local soil types.

Keep costs down by ordering locally sourced material in larger quantities, scheduling standard delivery, and avoiding special spreads or tight access fees. Check Hello Gravel for multiple local supplier quotes, compare truckload vs cubic-yard pricing, and consider reusing on-site excavated soil when suitable. Always factor in hauling and spreading costs—the lowest per-yard price can be offset by higher delivery or site-prep fees.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout. The driver will assess safety and site suitability on arrival, and no spreading is guaranteed. If spreading is required, consider hiring local help or get a specific spreading service included in your quote.
