Fill Dirt in Baldwin, GA

In Baldwin and West Georgia, fill dirt material alone typically ranges from about $8 to $25 per cubic yard (roughly $10 to $30 per ton) depending on local supply and moisture. Many Hello Gravel orders in the region qualify for free delivery, but if a delivery fee applies it is commonly $50 to $200 depending on distance, truck access, and order size. Remember Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons and you can check delivery pricing by entering your zip code at checkout or contacting our team.

Typical West Georgia pricing for fill dirt is roughly $10 to $30 per ton or about $8 to $25 per cubic yard, with the lower end for large bulk loads and the higher end for screened or hauled material. Prices vary by supplier, moisture content, and whether the dirt is screened or contains organics, so get a local quote through Hello Gravel for a precise number.

To cover 1,000 sq ft at 6 inches (0.5 ft) you need about 18.5 cubic yards of fill (1000 x 0.5 / 27 = 18.52). Using a common conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.25 to 1.4 tons for fill dirt, that equals roughly 23 to 26 tons; allow extra (5-10%) for compaction and grading losses.

Screened fill dirt is preferable to unscreened because it has fewer roots, sticks, and large clods, which helps compaction and reduces future settling. That said, fill dirt by itself is not an ideal top layer for driveways in Baldwin’s humid climate — use screened fill for subgrade or backfill but finish a driveway with a crushed stone base and a wearing surface suited for traffic and drainage.

Local rules vary, and some permits are required for significant grading, lot regrading, or changes that affect drainage and stormwater. For Baldwin, check with Baldwin City Hall or Greene County building and planning offices before large deliveries; Hello Gravel recommends contacting local permitting authorities if your project involves foundations, retaining walls, or altering drainage patterns.

Properly compacted fill dirt used as subgrade can perform well for many years if it is well-drained, properly compacted in lifts, and capped with a suitable aggregate and surface. However, fill dirt used alone as the driving surface will rut and settle quickly in Baldwin’s climate; for a durable driveway, combine compacted fill with a crushed stone base and regular maintenance.

Buy fill dirt when you need to raise grade, backfill, or correct elevation; buy crushed stone when you need a stable driving surface and good drainage. For driveways in Baldwin, the common approach is compacted fill dirt to establish grade and then several inches of crushed stone as the base and surface for drainage and load-bearing performance.

Hello Gravel connects you to local suppliers and haulers that deliver bulk fill dirt, and we can often recommend partners who handle delivery. For installation, search for local grading, site-prep, or excavation contractors in Baldwin and Greene County, check reviews, ask for references and insurance, or call Hello Gravel’s sales team for guidance and available local partners.

Fill dirt alone is not an erosion-control solution on slopes because it can wash away until vegetation or other protections establish. For erosion control in West Georgia, combine fill dirt with erosion blankets, seeded sod or native plantings, terraces, retaining walls, or riprap for severe slopes; consult a landscaper or civil engineer for steep or high runoff areas.

Costs vary with access, area size, slope, and whether equipment is needed; for small residential jobs expect equipment rental or contractor minimums of a few hundred dollars for grading and compaction, while full driveway base preparation (excavation, geotextile, compaction, and stone base) can commonly range from about $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot. Get written estimates from local contractors and factor in extra for poor access, removal of unsuitable soil, or additional drainage work.
