Hello Gravel typically sources tri-axle dump trucks for deliveries, which hold roughly 10-12 cubic yards. For fill dirt that equates to about 12-15 tons depending on moisture and compaction; exact tonnage depends on the supplier and truck configuration.

A 100-ft by 10-ft driveway is 1,000 sq ft. At 2 inches deep you need about 6.2 cubic yards (roughly 7-8 tons), and at 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards (roughly 14-16 tons), depending on soil density and compaction.

One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8-0.9 cubic yards (varies by moisture), so it will cover about 135 sq ft at 2 inches, about 67 sq ft at 4 inches, and about 45 sq ft at 6 inches. These are approximate coverage numbers to help with planning.

Per ton, untreated fill dirt is often less expensive than crushed stone or crush-and-run. However, fill dirt is not a good wearing surface for driveways; for a durable driveway base you should use crush-and-run or crushed stone and reserve fill dirt for raising grade or backfill.

Choose crush-and-run when you need a stable, compacted base or a finished driving surface—especially in coastal Georgia where drainage and soft soils are common. Fill dirt is fine for leveling or adding grade but not for the driveway surface itself.

A 7x14 dump trailer typically hauls about 6-8 cubic yards, which translates to roughly 7-10 tons of fill dirt depending on compaction and moisture. Pickup can be practical for smaller jobs if your trailer and towing vehicle are rated for the weight; always confirm your trailer's GVWR and local loading limits.

If you need only a small amount, picking up material yourself may save on delivery fees, provided you have the right truck and trailer. For most homeowners and larger jobs in Darien, ordering a full dump truck through Hello Gravel is often the most cost-effective option because it spreads delivery costs over more tons; our checkout will show exact delivery fees for your zip code.

No. In Darien’s coastal-plain soils and humid climate, 2 inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway base. Use several inches (4-8 inches) of compacted crush-and-run or crushed stone for a stable base, and reserve fill dirt for grade adjustments and backfill with proper compaction and drainage measures.

Small yard leveling or low spots often need 3-8 tons. Typical projects: raising a small lawn or planting bed 2-4 inches might use 3-6 tons, a 100x10-ft driveway at 4 inches needs about 14-16 tons, and modest building pads or footer backfill commonly require 10-30+ tons depending on size and depth.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion—request it at checkout but note there are no guarantees.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
