Fill Dirt in Conyers, GA

Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise or level ground; it contains little organic material so it doesn’t support plants well. In Conyers, fill dirt is commonly used to build up low spots, raise footings, prepare areas for driveways or patios, and as a base beneath topsoil or gravel. Because local soils in Georgia can be clay-rich, using clean fill dirt helps create a stable, non-settling subgrade.

Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and site access, but delivered fill dirt in West Georgia commonly falls in a modest range. Expect regional quotes that differ by job—contact Hello Gravel for a delivered price for your Conyers zip code so you get a current, local estimate. We handle supplier comparisons and give transparent delivered pricing when you request a quote.

Suppliers price fill dirt either by the cubic yard or by the ton and rates vary with local availability. Ballpark rates can differ, so the best way to get accurate per‑yard or per‑ton pricing for Conyers is to request a quote through Hello Gravel, which shows local supplier rates and delivery fees. Remember that regional soil density influences the ton-to-yard conversion, so compare both units when ordering.

In Georgia you’ll commonly see single-axle trucks carrying about 6–8 cubic yards and tri-axle trucks carrying about 10–14 cubic yards. Because fill dirt weighs roughly 2,000–2,700 pounds per cubic yard depending on moisture and soil type, a tri-axle load often equals roughly 10–15 tons of material. If you need an exact truck size for your Conyers delivery, Hello Gravel can match the right truck type to your job.

Delivered truckload pricing depends on material volume, truck type, travel distance, and site access; adding tailgate spreading usually adds a labor fee and is performed at the driver’s discretion. Expect a delivered load price (material plus delivery) to vary and to be higher if you request spreading; request a detailed quote from Hello Gravel to see line-item costs for Conyers. Note that tailgate spreading is an optional service you can request at checkout but it is not guaranteed.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, or 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Because 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.0–1.4 tons depending on moisture and soil type, a ton will cover slightly less area than a cubic yard. Use cubic yards for volume planning, then convert to tons if your supplier prices by weight.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than screened topsoil because it contains less organic matter and is used as structural fill rather than planting medium. For grading and preparing a driveway subgrade, fill dirt is the more economical and appropriate choice; just plan to cap it with gravel or topsoil depending on your final surface. If you need planting or lawn establishment, add a layer of good topsoil on top of the fill dirt.

Fill dirt can effectively level a backyard, but you should also plan for grading, compaction, and proper drainage to avoid settling or poor runoff. In Conyers, consider hiring compaction equipment (plate compactor or roller) and checking local grading or stormwater rules near property lines and flood areas; Hello Gravel can arrange delivery and you can request tailgate spreading but compaction is typically a separate contractor service. For best results, compact in lifts (small depths at a time) and address any drainage swales before finishing.

Coverage depends on depth: for a 2-inch lift over a driveway, 1 cubic yard (about 1–1.3 tons) covers roughly 162 sq ft, so 1 ton will cover a bit less area. If your supplier or hauler charges by weight, convert your cubic yard estimate to tons using a local density estimate, but ordering by cubic yards is often simpler for volume planning. Ask Hello Gravel for both per-ton and per-yard pricing for your Conyers job so you can compare total cost and quantity units.

Cheapest options tend to be bulk delivery from a nearby supplier (lower haul distance), local pickup if you have a suitable truck, or coordinated contractor hauler if you’re doing a larger job. Hello Gravel negotiates local supplier and hauling rates and will show delivered options for your Conyers zip code; compare immediate delivery fees, minimum order (our minimum is 3 tons), and any extra charges for tight access or spreading. If you can pick up material yourself and reduce travel distance, that often lowers cost, but be mindful of payload limits and safety.

A full-size pickup bed can sometimes hold about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards loosely, but weight quickly exceeds payload ratings—so the limiting factor is usually truck payload, not volume. For small DIY jobs you can pick up a yard if your truck’s payload is sufficient and you secure the load; for anything larger than a yard or heavier material, professional delivery is safer and often cheaper when you factor in multiple trips. Use Hello Gravel to see delivered pricing for Conyers; our delivery can handle larger volumes and avoid overload risks.

Measure the area (length x width) and decide the depth in feet, then multiply length x width x depth and divide by 27 to get cubic yards (for example, 20 ft x 10 ft x 0.5 ft = 100/27 ≈ 3.7 cubic yards). Convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by a local density estimate (commonly about 1.0–1.3 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt) or ask Hello Gravel to convert for you.

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.
