Why Folkston Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Folkston city population is 6,430, and the area is experiencing steady growth with a 2.10% annual increase that is driving more residential and small-scale commercial projects. The local climate—Hardiness Zone 8b with about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall—supports active year-round outdoor work but also means yards and grades must handle periodic heavy rain. That combination of growth and climate creates steady demand for basic earthmoving materials: foundation backfill, site grading, and utility trench fill. Homeowners in Folkston often seek reliable, well-graded fill dirt to raise low spots, prepare for patios or drives, and prevent water pooling around foundations. Clear guidance on quantities, compaction, and delivery timing helps DIYers and contractors avoid common mistakes like under-ordering or poor compaction that lead to settling and drainage problems.Popular Projects in Folkston This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Folkston Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Folkston.
Prices vary by supplier and order size, but in the Folkston area fill dirt typically ranges from about $8 to $20 per ton for the material alone. Final price depends on delivery distance, truck size, and any added services; Hello Gravel shows the exact cost at checkout for your zip code.
A single dump truck load in West Georgia often costs between $200 and $800 depending on the truck size, material quantity, and delivery fee. Exact pricing for Folkston will be shown at checkout and you can request next-day delivery for an additional charge.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than decorative or crushed gravel because it is basic earth material intended for filling and grading rather than surfacing. Choose fill dirt when you need to raise grade or backfill; pick gravel when surface drainage, stability, or aesthetics are priorities.
Truck capacities vary, but a common tri-axle dump truck in West Georgia carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards, which for fill dirt translates roughly to 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Hello Gravel works with local haulers, so the checkout will list the specific load weight for your delivery.
Most tri-axle dump trucks serving Folkston hold about 10 to 14 cubic yards per load. Smaller or larger trucks are available in some areas, so the cubic yard amount for your delivery will be confirmed when you place your order.
One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards, which will cover about 120 square feet at a 2-inch depth. For deeper fills, expect less coverage—for example, at 6 to 8 inches depth one ton covers roughly 30 to 40 square feet.
Order in bulk (meet or exceed the 3-ton minimum) and choose standard delivery with a local supplier to minimize fees; pickup from a nearby supplier can be cheaper if you have suitable hauling. Also compare quotes, request standard lead times, and avoid rush (next-day) delivery when possible.
Delivery fees depend on distance from the supplier and the size of your order; many deliveries in our network are free or low-cost, while others may incur fees commonly in the $0 to $150 range for nearby haulers. The exact delivery charge for your address will appear at checkout once you enter your zip code.
Many local suppliers and haulers offer volume pricing or reduced per-ton rates for larger orders, but discounts vary by supplier and availability. If you need multiple loads in West Georgia, contact our sales team or request a quote through the site to see available bulk pricing.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this service is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess conditions on arrival; you can also hire a local landscaper for precise grading.
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards; multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to estimate tons for fill dirt. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team with your measurements for a fast estimate and help ordering.
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.
