Why Fort Gaines Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fort Gaines has a city population of 1,550 and sits within a growing West Georgia region where the metro area population is 2.3+ million and the local growth rate is 2.10% annually. With a warm, moderate climate (Hardiness Zone 8b), about 228 sunny days per year, and average annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, homeowners are increasingly tackling outdoor projects—from driveway grading and foundation backfill to landscape berms and yard leveling. That steady demand drives the need for reliable, locally sourced aggregates. Homeowners choose quality fill dirt because properly placed and compacted fill reduces settling, supports structures and driveways, and helps manage water flow in the clay-prone soils common around Fort Gaines.Popular Projects in Fort Gaines This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fort Gaines Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Fort Gaines.
Prices vary by supplier and haul distance, but in Fort Gaines fill dirt typically runs about $8 to $20 per ton (roughly $10 to $30 per cubic yard) depending on quality, screening, and delivery. Your final price will depend on order size (minimum 3 tons with Hello Gravel), how far the material is hauled, and whether spreading or extra handling is requested.
In West Georgia and Fort Gaines the per-ton price generally aligns with state rural rates, commonly $8 to $20 per ton for basic fill dirt. Urban areas or specialty screened fill dirt may cost more, so local sourcing and truck distance are the main price drivers.
Cost for a truckload depends on truck size and distance; a typical tri-axle delivery to Fort Gaines can range from about $200 to $800 or more, inclusive of material and delivery. We recommend getting a quote through Hello Gravel because some areas qualify for free delivery and larger orders lower the per-ton price.
Yes, fill dirt is usually cheaper than gravel in Fort Gaines because it is less processed and often comes from excavation or local borrow sites. Gravel requires crushing, screening, and sometimes washing, which increases cost compared with plain fill dirt used for grading and backfill.
Coverage depends on depth. A rough rule: 1 ton of fill dirt is approximately 0.7 to 1.0 cubic yards, which will cover about 240 to 324 square feet at 1 inch depth; at 6 inches depth that same ton covers roughly 40 to 54 square feet. Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324 to calculate exact needs, and convert cubic yards to tons based on the local density.
Our haulers most commonly use tri-axle dump trucks, which typically carry about 10 to 15 tons of fill dirt depending on compaction and local weight limits. Smaller single-axle trucks carry roughly 5 to 8 tons, and Hello Gravel will confirm the truck type and approximate tonnage when you request delivery.
The most cost-effective options are to order from local suppliers, buy in larger quantities to lower the per-ton price, and select standard delivery rather than expedited service. Comparing quotes through a marketplace like Hello Gravel helps because we connect you with nearby suppliers and show transparent pricing and available delivery options.
Measure the area in square feet and decide the required depth in inches, then use cubic yards = (area * depth) / 324 to find cubic yards and multiply by the local tons-per-cubic-yard (usually about 0.8 to 1.2 tons/yd3 for fill dirt). If you prefer, use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions and project type for a tailored estimate.
Drivers may be able to provide limited tailgate spreading at their discretion and if conditions allow; request the service at checkout so the driver is aware. This is not guaranteed, and the driver will assess safety and access on arrival before performing any spreading.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

The material will be delivered via dump truck. If your order is under 20 tons, then it will likely be just one dump truck load. If your order is more than 20 tons, it will be more than one dump truck load.

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.
