Typical delivered prices for fill dirt in West Georgia (including Bristol) usually range from about $10 to $30 per ton, depending on whether the material is screened/clean or raw subsoil.

Exact pricing depends on local supplier rates and the grade of dirt you choose.

Suppliers in West Georgia commonly deliver to small towns like Bristol, but availability varies by zip code and supplier. Hello Gravel’s platform requires a 3-ton minimum order; delivery fees are often included for nearby deliveries but may apply for long-distance hauls or tight access, so check your quote for any additional charges. You can confirm delivery availability and fees during checkout or by contacting our team.

A common tri-axle dump truck used for local deliveries carries roughly 12 to 18 tons (about 8 to 12 cubic yards) of loose fill dirt. At $10 to $30 per ton, a single truckload in West Georgia typically costs between about $120 and $540 for the material, plus any delivery fee. Final cost depends on local rates, moisture content, and whether the dirt is screened or clean.

To raise 1,000 square feet by 6 inches (0.5 feet) you need 1,000 x 0.5 / 27 = about 18.5 cubic yards of material. Because of settlement and compaction, we recommend ordering 10% to 20% extra, so plan on about 20 to 22 cubic yards. Using a common conversion of roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt, that equates to about 24 to 31 tons total.

Fill dirt is fine-grained subsoil used to build up low spots, support landscaping grades, or prepare a site for sod and foundations; it contains more fines and fewer large stones. Gravel is coarse, drains well, and is used for driveways, drainage layers, and decorative surfaces. Choose fill dirt when you need to raise or grade land and create a stable planting or construction base; choose gravel when drainage or a wearing surface is the priority.

Yes—common grades include raw subsoil (least processed), screened fill (fewer rocks and clods), and clean fill (no organic matter, low contaminants) or engineered compactable fill. Screened or clean fill typically costs more—often 10% to 50% higher—than raw fill because of processing and testing. Ask suppliers whether the material is screened, contains organic material, or is suitable for compaction and structural work.

Compaction and equipment rental are not standard with a basic fill dirt delivery; some local suppliers or contractors may offer these services separately or refer local equipment rental companies. Typical costs: compaction services (by contractor) often run from $0.30 to $1.50 per square foot depending on depth and access; equipment rental (bobcat or mini-excavator) can be roughly $200 to $600 per day plus fuel. If you need spreading or compaction, request it at checkout and our team can note it for the supplier, but drivers perform tailgate spreading only at their discretion and no spreading guarantees are provided.

Yes—seasonal conditions affect availability and delivery. Heavy rain in spring and early summer can slow deliveries and make sites less accessible, sometimes causing short-term delays or additional fees for extra handling, while peak landscaping season may have higher demand and slightly higher prices. Always check the delivery window when ordering and allow extra lead time during wet periods.

Small residential deliveries for landscaping usually do not require a permit, but significant grading, changing drainage patterns, or adding large amounts of fill can trigger local or county permitting and inspection requirements. Bristol is a small town—check with your city hall or the county planning/building department before major earthwork to confirm rules on grading, stormwater, setbacks, and septic setbacks. Hello Gravel can help connect you to local suppliers, but we do not issue permits or provide regulatory advice.

Many local suppliers or contractors will offer on-site estimates for a fee or free depending on distance and project size; photos and measurements often allow suppliers to provide a reliable estimate without a site visit. When ordering through Hello Gravel, attach property photos and project dimensions in the Order Notes and our team will try to connect you with suppliers who can confirm quantities or arrange an on-site assessment. For small projects, use our material calculator as a quick estimate before requesting a supplier visit.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.

The minimum order size is 3 tons.
