Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks which usually carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which equates to roughly 12 to 15 tons for typical West Georgia clay/loam fill. Smaller local trucks carry less; we will confirm truck size and approximate tonnage on your order confirmation.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Using a typical conversion of 1 cubic yard ≈ 1.25 tons for fill dirt in this region, 1 ton will cover roughly 130 sq ft at 2 inches, 65 sq ft at 4 inches, and 43 sq ft at 6 inches.

A full-size pickup bed can sometimes carry up to about 1 cubic yard by volume, but the weight (roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard) often exceeds most trucks' payload ratings. For safety and convenience, homeowners in Good Hope usually order delivery—especially since Hello Gravel minimum orders start at 3 tons and we coordinate appropriate dump trucks.

A common wheelbarrow holds about 3 to 4 cubic feet. That means 1 cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads, depending on your wheelbarrow size and how heaped the load is.

Fill dirt is good for raising grade and building a structural subgrade because it compacts well, and West Georgia soils tend to be clayey so they bind when compacted. However, fill dirt is low in organic matter and not suited for final planting or top dressing; for lawn and planting areas add 3 to 6 inches of screened topsoil on top of compacted fill dirt for best results.

To save money, order in larger quantities (meet or exceed the 3-ton minimum), schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) rather than rush delivery, and use Hello Gravel to match you with nearby suppliers to reduce haul distance. Also plan deliveries to avoid repeated small loads and add any spreading requests in the Order Notes so the driver can assess feasibility on arrival.

Costs depend on width, depth, and material choice. As an example, a 20 ft long by 10 ft wide area at 3 inches depth needs about 1.9 cubic yards: delivered fill dirt (material only) might be roughly $30 to $60 plus delivery, making a total commonly in the $130 to $360 range; delivered gravel suitable for driveway surface is pricier (material plus delivery), often putting the same small job in the $180 to $500 range. Note: fill dirt is not a good wearing surface—use gravel for the driveway surface and use fill dirt only to raise or grade the subgrade.

Good Hope and much of West Georgia have clayey, red soils that compact and hold moisture; that makes fill dirt useful for structural fills and grading but it can hold water and be poor for plant growth. Plan for proper compaction, drainage, and a top layer of screened topsoil if you intend to seed or plant on top of the filled area.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
