Fill Dirt in cedarsprings, GA

Yes, fill dirt is usually cheaper than gravel in the Cedarsprings area because it is often locally sourced soil with less processing. Gravel requires crushing, screening, and sometimes washing, which raises its cost. Local haul distance and whether the fill is screened or contains rock will affect the final price.

In West Georgia around Cedarsprings, typical retail fill dirt ranges roughly from $10 to $30 per cubic yard, or about $8 to $25 per ton, not including delivery. Prices vary with supplier, whether the material is screened, and delivery distance; the easiest way to get an exact price is to request a Hello Gravel quote for your zip code. Note Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons and delivery fees may apply.

Fill dirt weight varies with moisture and compaction, but a practical average is about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard. That means one ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.85 cubic yards. Use these ranges when converting between tons and yards for ordering and check with suppliers for exact local densities.

Fill dirt is primarily native soil with little organic matter used to raise grade, fill holes, and backfill foundations, while gravel is crushed rock used for drainage, driveways, and structural bases. In Cedarsprings' clay-prone soils, fill dirt is useful for bulk grading but may hold water, whereas gravel improves drainage and stability. Choose fill dirt to build up ground and gravel where drainage or load-bearing is needed.

A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, though capacities vary by truck and local regulations. Cost depends on material price per yard and delivery fee; for example, at $20/yd3 a 12-yd3 load is $240 for material plus any delivery charge, so total often falls in the $200 to $600 range depending on distance and fees.

For 1,000 sq ft, the cubic yards needed depend on depth: 2 inches = about 6.2 yd3 (≈ 8 to 9 tons); 4 inches = about 12.3 yd3 (≈ 15 to 16 tons); 6 inches = about 18.5 yd3 (≈ 24 tons). These estimates use a practical conversion of ~1.3 tons per cubic yard; final needs vary with compaction and site conditions so measure carefully and consider ordering 5-10% extra for settling and grading.

It depends on your truck. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and often weighs about 1.2 to 1.4 tons (2,400 to 2,800 lbs), which may exceed the safe payload for smaller pickups. Check your truck's payload rating before loading — many full-size pickups can carry one cubic yard if their payload allows, but you should confirm to avoid overloading and check local road limits.

One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube (27 cubic feet). Loose as a pile it might cover about 9 to 27 sq ft depending on pile height (for example, a 1-ft high pile covers about 27 sq ft). When planning delivery, leave a clear dump area accessible to a tri-axle truck and consider extra space for spreading or equipment.

A typical wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) equals roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads. The exact number varies with wheelbarrow size and how full you load each trip.
