Fill Dirt in Cataula, GA

Yes. Fill dirt is usually cheaper than gravel because it is unprocessed subsoil without crushing or screening. In Cataula and West Georgia you can expect fill dirt to cost less per cubic yard or ton than crushed stone, though final price depends on local haul distance and supplier availability.

Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and moisture, but in the Cataula/West Georgia area typical delivered fill dirt ranges are commonly quoted per cubic yard or per ton. Expect to see a broad local range; the fastest way to get a firm price for your address in Cataula is to request a quote through Hello Gravel, which connects you to local suppliers and shows delivery options.

Fill dirt weight depends on moisture and compaction, but a good rule of thumb is about 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard. Use 1.3 tons per cubic yard as a working estimate for material calculations in Cataula, but adjust for very wet or compacted soils.

That depends on depth. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep requires about 12.4 cubic yards (1,000 x 4/12 = 333 cu ft = 12.3 cu yd). Multiply cubic yards by roughly 1.3 to estimate tons (about 16 tons in this example) and get a local quote for a precise delivered price.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. Cost for a truckload depends on how suppliers price the material (per cubic yard or ton) and delivery distance; truckload deliveries to Cataula often vary widely, so request a Hello Gravel quote for a specific truckload price and available delivery dates.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise or level yards, but proper installation matters. In West Georgia's clay-prone soils, add fill in 4- to 6-inch lifts and compact each layer to avoid future settling, and always slope final grades away from foundations to protect drainage.

You can, but it is usually better to remove or strip organic topsoil and vegetation first if you need long-term, stable fill. Placing fill dirt on top of grass or organic soil can lead to uneven settling and rot; for landscape beds or small grading fixes you can top dress, but for structural grading remove the top layer and compact the fill.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and forms about a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft pile. In practical terms in Cataula a single cubic yard is roughly enough to cover an 81 sq ft area at 4 inches deep.

Most wheelbarrows hold about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cu ft) equals roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads. Plan accordingly if you will move material by hand; for larger jobs hire a dump delivery and a compacting tool.

Coverage depends on depth. Using the working conversion of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard, one ton equals roughly 0.77 cubic yards, so at 4 inches deep one ton covers about 50 to 65 sq ft. For accurate planning in Cataula, compute required cubic yards for your depth and convert to tons before ordering.

Fill dirt can be used to establish grade, but it is not a substitute for a stable base layer for driveways or patios. In Cataula's clay soils, you should place and compact engineered base materials (rock, crushed stone or geotechnical fill) on top of compacted fill dirt before paving to improve drainage and load support.
