Fill Dirt in Buchanan, GA

Locally in Buchanan (West Georgia) expect fill dirt to vary based on source, quality, and delivery, commonly in the range of about $12 to $30 per ton. Price depends on whether the material is screened, has rock or clay, and how far a hauler must travel; larger orders usually lower the per-ton cost.

A typical tri-axle dump truck serving our network holds roughly 10 to 15 cubic yards, which for fill dirt usually equals about 10 to 15 tons. Multiply your local per-ton price by that tonnage (for example, $20/ton x 12 tons = $240) and remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and delivery fees or next-day options can change the total.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than crushed gravel because it is unprocessed soil without stone or decorative qualities. Gravel costs more because it is crushed, screened, and often washed; use fill dirt where structural fill or grade-raising is needed and gravel where drainage or a finished surface is required.

One ton of fill dirt is roughly 1 to 1.2 cubic yards depending on moisture and compaction. As a rule of thumb, at 2 inches depth 1 ton covers about 135 to 160 square feet, and at 6 inches depth it covers about 45 to 54 square feet; use the formula area (sq ft) = 27 cubic feet / depth (ft) for exact planning.

Order in bulk (meet or exceed the 3-ton minimum), source locally to avoid long hauls, and compare supplier quotes—sharing a truck with neighbors can also cut costs. Using Hello Gravel’s platform helps by showing local supplier rates and scheduling professional dump truck delivery to reduce unexpected fees.

Hello Gravel deliveries in Buchanan commonly use tri-axle trucks that carry about 10 to 15 tons of fill dirt per load, though end-dump or larger trucks can carry more for big jobs. Exact capacity depends on the truck type, local weight limits, and how compact the material is.

Yes, fill dirt will settle, especially if placed loose or if it contains organic material. Expect some settlement; plan to order an extra 10 to 20 percent to allow for compaction and finishing, and consider mechanical compaction for structural fills or where grade must stay stable.

Fill dirt is fine for raising grade or filling holes but is low in organic matter and nutrients, so it is not ideal as topsoil for lawns or gardens. For planting, add a layer of topsoil or mix organic compost into the top 4 to 6 inches to support plant growth.

Standard delivery is 2 or more business days after ordering, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; confirm availability for your Buchanan zip code at checkout. We work with local haulers, so delivery times can vary by supply and truck scheduling.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and only if it can be done safely—request this service at checkout and the driver will assess on arrival. Hello Gravel cannot guarantee spreading, so plan for possible additional labor or equipment if precise placement is required.

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