Fill Dirt in Evans, GA

Prices vary by supplier, material quality, and delivery distance, but for the Augusta metro you should generally expect a delivered range rather than a fixed price. Hello Gravel provides live quotes in checkout—enter your zip to see current per-ton pricing and any minimums (our minimum order is 3 tons).

For rough fills and raising grades, use clean, low-organic fill dirt that compacts well; screened fill is better for final grading. For driveways, do not use fill dirt as the finished surface—place fill dirt to build grade and follow with a compacted crushed stone or aggregate base for drainage and load-bearing. Screened, low-organic fill is the best choice for yard leveling before topsoil or gravel is added.

In most residential cases a simple delivery of fill dirt does not require a county building permit, but large grading jobs, changes in drainage, or erosion control measures can trigger permitting. Check Columbia County or the City of Evans public works/building department and your HOA covenants before buying large volumes to confirm local rules and any erosion or stormwater requirements. If you are unsure, Hello Gravel recommends contacting your local permitting office before ordering.

Yes—Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers who can deliver fill dirt to Evans addresses. Compaction or spreading may be offered by some suppliers or local subcontractors but is not guaranteed; request spreading or compaction options at checkout and confirm availability and price with the supplier. Drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services.

Calculate volume first: 1,000 sq ft × 0.5 ft = 500 cubic feet, which is about 18.5 cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and composition, so you would need roughly 22–28 tons. Order an extra 5–10% to allow for compaction and settlement, so plan on about 24–31 tons for this job.

Fill dirt with high clay content can retain water and slow drainage, increasing runoff and erosion risk on slopes during heavy rain common in Georgia. For better drainage and erosion control in Evans, use properly graded slopes, install swales or French drains where needed, and consider mixing in granular material or using free-draining aggregates near problem areas. Proper compaction in lifts and adding vegetation or erosion-control measures will also reduce washout.

Compacted fill dirt is generally not the ideal finished base for concrete slabs because organic matter and fine clays can settle and cause cracks; a crushed stone or engineered aggregate base is recommended for slab-bearing surfaces. For small sheds, compacted, low-organic fill dirt can be acceptable if placed and compacted in lifts and the site has good drainage. When in doubt for structural loads, consult an engineer or use an engineered base to avoid future settlement.

Expect potential additional costs such as delivery fees for long runs, next-day delivery fees if requested, and any charges for tailgate spreading or special placement. Optional services like compaction, spreading by machine, screening, or soil testing are extra, and some suppliers charge more for clean/screened material versus unscreened bulk fill. Ask for an itemized quote from Hello Gravel during checkout to see all applicable fees for your Evans delivery.

Most of the settlement happens within the first year after placement, especially if the material was added in large lifts or not compacted properly. With proper placement in 6- to 8-inch lifts and mechanical compaction, settlement is reduced but not eliminated; you may still need minor top-ups in low spots during the first 12 months. Plan for a 5–10% allowance on your initial order to accommodate settlement and compaction.

Choose screened fill dirt for final grading, lawn installation, planting beds, and any visible areas because it has fewer rocks and organics and produces a smoother finish. Unscreened fill dirt is a lower-cost option for large bulk fills, behind retaining walls, or where the surface will be covered by gravel or paving. Consider screened material for areas where soil texture matters, and request local supplier photos or notes in your Hello Gravel order to match expectations.
