Fill Dirt in clyo, GA

Fill dirt is subsoil material with few organics used to raise grade, backfill foundations, or fill low spots. In Clyo it is most often used to prepare building pads, level yard areas, and correct drainage low points before landscaping or paving; it is not intended as a finished surface for driveways or planting beds.

Typical delivered prices in the Clyo area generally range about $8 to $25 per cubic yard (roughly $7 to $20 per ton), depending on supplier, distance, moisture content, and truck access. Exact price will vary by site conditions and minimum order size; use Hello Gravel’s quote tool for an itemized local estimate.

Local quarries, landscape suppliers, and municipal dirt providers around West Georgia and the Savannah metro commonly deliver to Clyo. Hello Gravel coordinates deliveries; minimum orders start at 3 tons, with typical truck sizes being 6-8 yard residential dump trucks or tri-axle trucks carrying 10-15 cubic yards.

Soils in the West Georgia/Clyo area range from sandy loam to clayey subsoils depending on the exact site, so fill dirt behavior varies. Clay-rich fill holds water and can shrink or heave without good drainage and compaction, while sandy fill drains better but may need more material to achieve the same bearing capacity; always match fill type to the intended use and compact in lifts.

For structural areas, remove topsoil then place fill in 6- to 8-inch lifts and compact each lift to about 90-95% of standard Proctor density using a plate compactor or roller. Typical guidance: patios and light-use areas usually need 4-6 inches of well-compacted fill plus base rock; driveways need a compacted subgrade of 6-8 inches followed by 4-6 inches of base rock or Class II base; building pads may require 8-12 inches of engineered fill—consult your engineer for foundations.

Permit needs depend on the scope and location of work; minor yard grading often needs no county permit, but foundation backfill, septic system work, and major grading typically require permits from Effingham County or the local municipality. Always check with Effingham County Building and Zoning and any HOA rules before bringing fill dirt on site to avoid rework or violations.

Heavy summer rainfall can cause settling, erosion, and rutting on unprotected fill dirt, while freeze-thaw cycles can worsen movement in poorly drained areas. Proper compaction, positive slopes, good drainage (ditches, swales, pipes), and a protective finish layer (topsoil and vegetation or stone) reduce maintenance and lengthen life.

Common alternatives include crushed stone, bank-run gravel, and Class II base. Crushed stone and Class II base provide better load-bearing, drainage, and stability for driveways and pads but cost more than plain fill dirt, while bank-run gravel is a middle ground for grading and basic driveways; choose based on intended use, budget, and required compaction.

Expect to do initial compaction, regrade after heavy storms, add material where settling occurs, and control weeds; small projects often need a top-up of material every 1-5 years depending on traffic and drainage. Budgeting: plan for occasional delivery of a half to one cubic yard per 100 sq ft of settled area over several years and minor costs for regrading or seeding; ask Hello Gravel for local delivery estimates to plan maintenance costs.

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.
