Fill Dirt in Dearing, GA

Prices vary by supplier, load size, and material quality, but in West Georgia fill dirt typically runs about $10 to $30 per ton.

A ton of loose fill dirt is roughly equal to 1 cubic yard in most cases, though weight can vary with moisture and compaction. Use the 1 ton = 1 cubic yard rule for quick estimates, then get a supplier-specific measurement if you need precision. Hello Gravel’s material calculator can convert your project dimensions into tons or cubic yards for ordering.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel because it is a lower-spec material and often sourced locally from site cuts or stockpiles. Gravel requires processing and screening, which raises its cost. If you only need to build up ground or backfill, fill dirt is usually the most economical choice in the Dearing area.

Most of the deliveries we arrange to Dearing use tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of material, roughly 10 to 14 tons for fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. Smaller single-axle trucks hold about 6 to 8 cubic yards. Remember Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons, so many homeowners order partial truckloads when smaller quantities are needed.

One ton (about 1 cubic yard) covers approximately 108 square feet at 3 inches depth, 54 square feet at 6 inches, and 27 square feet at 12 inches. Adjust your calculation to the depth you need for grading, foundations, or lawn build-up. Use these numbers to estimate quantities before ordering and add 5-10% for compaction and waste.

A full-size pickup bed can carry roughly 1 to 1.5 cubic yards by volume, but weight and payload limits often become the limiting factor. Fill dirt is heavy: overloading a truck can damage suspension or be unsafe, so check your truck’s payload rating before hauling. For most homeowners in Dearing, arranging a delivery through Hello Gravel is easier and safer than using a pickup.

Yes, bulk fill dirt is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than bagged dirt because it reduces packaging and labor costs. Bags are convenient for small jobs but quickly become more expensive if you need multiple cubic yards. For projects in Dearing that require more than a yard or two, ordering bulk delivery is the most cost-effective option.

Coverage depends on depth: at a thin grading layer of 1 inch (0.083 ft), 1 ton covers about 324 square feet, while at a 3-inch layer it covers about 108 square feet. For typical grading or low spots, plan using the 3-inch guideline and increase quantity for steeper fills. Remember local red clay in West Georgia can compact more, so allow a little extra when ordering.

A full tri-axle truckload in West Georgia (about 10 to 14 tons) typically costs between $100 and $420 for the material portion, based on a $10 to $30 per-ton range, before any delivery fees or minimum charges. Final cost depends on the supplier, distance, and whether you request services like tailgate spreading. The fastest way to know your delivered price is to enter your Dearing zip code on Hello Gravel and get an on-demand quote.

Buy in bulk from a local supplier, order larger loads to lower the per-ton price, and be flexible on delivery timing to reduce fees.
