Fill Dirt in Boston, GA

In Boston, GA (West Georgia) expect delivered fill dirt to commonly range from about $15 to $35 per cubic yard depending on supplier, hauling distance, and material quality. Per ton prices usually fall roughly between $10 and $25, since a loose cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.0 to 1.3 tons. Exact pricing and delivery fees are provided in your Hello Gravel quote based on zip code, order size, and truck access.

Fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel by weight because it is lower-grade aggregate used for bulk fill; in West Georgia you’ll often see fill dirt priced 20% to 50% lower per ton than crushed gravel. Gravel prices vary by type (driveway stone, #57, etc.), but expect gravel to cost noticeably more due to crushing, screening, and higher demand for structural uses. Hello Gravel can show side-by-side quotes so you can compare delivered costs for your specific project.

Yes — local suppliers and contracted haulers commonly deliver to residential addresses in small towns like Boston, GA, as long as there is safe truck access and a clear drop zone. Hello Gravel’s minimum order is typically 3 tons, and many suppliers include delivery in the per-ton price for nearby locations; remote deliveries may incur a fuel or travel fee. Drivers usually use tri-axle dump trucks, so confirm any driveway or overhead obstructions before ordering.

You can calculate volume with this quick formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324; for example, raising a 1,000 sq ft yard by 3 inches needs about 9.3 cubic yards. Multiply cubic yards by roughly 1.1–1.3 to estimate tons depending on moisture and soil type. Hello Gravel provides an online material calculator and can produce a delivered quote when you enter your dimensions and zip code, or our team can calculate for you if you call or text.

No — fill dirt is subsoil with little organic matter used to build grade and fill voids, while topsoil is richer and used for planting. For a driveway base in Georgia, you typically want compactable fill (clean fill or crusher-run) topped with crushed stone rather than loose fill dirt; for landscaping, use fill dirt to raise grades but finish with topsoil for planting. If you’re unsure, ask Hello Gravel for a combination quote (fill dirt plus topsoil or base stone) tailored to your project.

Some suppliers in West Georgia offer screened or processed fill dirt and compacted fills, which are cleaner and have fewer large rocks. Screened/processed material and compacted delivery typically cost more than raw excavated fill because of extra handling and processing. For driveways and foundations you’ll usually need engineered base materials and compaction — ask for screened fill or compactable base stone and verify if additional compaction services are needed.

Hello Gravel’s standard lead time is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is often avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Most residential deliveries use tri-axle dump trucks carrying roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose material each, so large orders may arrive on multiple trucks. Same-week delivery is commonly possible in West Georgia but depends on supplier schedules and weather, so book early to secure preferred dates.

For simple yard fills or small landscaping projects in Boston, GA you usually do not need a permit, but rules vary by county and by project size. Permits or erosion-control plans may be required for large grading jobs, changes to drainage, or work near wetlands and streams, so check with your county building or planning office before ordering. If your project involves foundations, retaining walls, or official site grading, consult an engineer and your local permitting authority first.

Yes, many suppliers offer volume pricing or tiered discounts for large orders; the exact breakpoints vary by supplier and distance. Compaction and placement services are sometimes avaIlable but often handled by local contractors rather than the material hauler; tailgate spreading by the truck driver is avaIlable at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed. Ask Hello Gravel to include bulk pricing in your quote and to recommend local contractors for spreading and compaction if you need a turn-key solution.

Moisture and clay content strongly affect compaction, handling, and delivered weight — very wet or highly clayey soils are harder to compact and may increase hauling or processing charges. Contaminated or suspect material will usually be rejected or priced higher because of disposal and testing requirements. Some suppliers can share basic source information or lab tests on request, but formal certificates and engineering tests are typically provided by project engineers or third-party testing labs rather than by the material hauler; ask us about options when you request a quote.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
