In Georgia our contracted dump trucks most often are tri-axles that haul about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which is roughly 12 to 15 tons depending on soil density. Smaller tandem-axle trucks may carry 6 to 8 cubic yards, while larger end-dump rigs can carry more. If you need an exact capacity for a scheduled delivery, Hello Gravel can confirm the truck type before dispatch.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover approximately 324 sq ft at 1 inch, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Because 1 ton of fill dirt is about 0.75 to 0.85 cubic yards (depending on moisture and composition), expect one ton to cover roughly 240 to 275 sq ft at 1 inch, 80 to 92 sq ft at 3 inches, and 40 to 46 sq ft at 6 inches. Use these estimates for planning, and contact Hello Gravel for help converting to tons or yards for your exact soil type.

Raw fill dirt is generally cheaper per yard than finished gravel, but it is not a good long-term surface for driveways because it compacts and can rut or erode. Choose fill dirt to raise grade, fill low spots, or build up under a driveway base; use crushed stone or gravel as the wearing surface for driveways and paths. For many projects you will need both: fill dirt for bulk elevation changes and gravel or crushed stone on top for a durable surface.

Buying in bulk delivered by dump truck is usually the most cost-effective option for homeowners in West Georgia, since per-yard costs drop and you avoid bagged-material markups. Contractor pick-up may save money if you have a truck and equipment, while bagged soil from retailers is the most expensive per cubic yard.

First convert area to square feet: 0.25 acre is 10,890 sq ft. Multiply by the desired depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, to add 3 inches (0.25 ft) across 0.25 acre: 10,890 x 0.25 / 27 ≈ 101 cubic yards; at about 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, that equals roughly 121 to 141 tons, or about 10 to 12 tri-axle truckloads. If you give Hello Gravel your exact dimensions and depth, we will calculate yards, tons, and likely truckloads for you.
