Basic fill dirt is generally less expensive per ton than most gravel because it is less processed. However, fill dirt compacts and drains differently than gravel, so for drainage or structural base work gravel may be the more appropriate (and cost-effective) choice in the long run.

One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7–0.8 cubic yards, depending on moisture and compaction, and will cover about 125 sq ft at a 2-inch depth or about 62 sq ft at a 4-inch depth. Use the rule of thumb that 1 cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, then adjust for your desired depth and compaction.

Buy in bulk (note Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum) from local suppliers to reduce haul charges, schedule standard delivery instead of next-day where possible, and avoid specialty mixes unless needed. Compare quotes through Hello Gravel and consolidate deliveries to cut per-ton delivered cost.

For small low spots or grading, a 3–6 ton order will typically add 2–4 inches over a 100–200 sq ft area; building up a yard 6 inches deep over 500 sq ft generally requires about 15–20 tons. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your area and desired depth for a precise recommendation.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on safe access and the driver's assessment. Request spreading at checkout and be prepared to finish spreading and compacting yourself or hire local labor if needed.

Because materials are regionally sourced, color and texture can vary; if you have an issue, contact customer service promptly and reference your order. For order changes, contact our team as soon as possible—changes are easier to accommodate before the truck is dispatched but may not be possible once loaded.
