One cubic yard of loose fill dirt generally weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and soil type. To estimate tons, calculate the cubic yards you need (area x depth) and multiply by about 1.2–1.5 to convert to tons; contact Hello Gravel if you want help converting for your Doerun project.

Use the simple rule: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, to raise 1,000 sq ft by 3 inches you need about 9.3 cubic yards; to raise it 6 inches you need about 18.5 cubic yards. Order a bit extra (5-10%) to allow for settlement and compaction, and check site access for delivery in Doerun.

A standard full-size pickup may hold roughly 1 to 1.5 cubic yards by volume, but carrying one cubic yard could exceed the truck's payload limit once the weight of the dirt is considered. Check your truck's payload rating before loading and remember Hello Gravel minimum orders Start at 3 tons, so pickup swap may not be avaIlable through our delivery network.

One cubic yard is a cube 3 feet long by 3 feet wide by 3 feet high, about 27 cubic feet of material. Visually that is roughly a medium-sized pile you could stand next to; weight will vary by moisture and local soil type in West Georgia.

Most standard wheelbarrows hold about 3 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is approximately nine wheelbarrow loads. If your wheelbarrow is larger or smaller, adjust that number accordingly.

Cost depends on truck size, local material price, and haul distance. A tri-axle dump can carry roughly 10–15 cubic yards; multiply the current per-yard price for fill dirt by the truck's yardage and add any delivery fee.

Fill dirt is best used for raising grade, backfilling, and creating a stable base; it usually contains little organic matter and is not suitable as a final planting medium. If you plan to grow grass, trees, or shrubs, add a layer of topsoil or screened compost on top of the fill dirt to support plant health, and ask Hello Gravel about topsoil options for combined deliveries.

Place fill dirt in thin lifts (4–6 inches loose) and compact each layer to reduce future settlement; moisture the material as needed before compaction for better results. Avoid using clay-heavy fill in areas needing drainage and consult local recommendations for load-bearing or foundation work; Hello Gravel can connect you with local suppliers familiar with West Georgia soils.
