Fill Dirt in Greenville, GA

Yes. Fill dirt is generally less expensive than gravel because it is mostly native soil with little processing, while gravel is quarried and crushed rock. Prices in Greenville reflect local sourcing and transportation, so fill dirt is typically the cheaper choice for bulk grade-raising jobs.

Prices vary by supplier, season, and distance, but expect a typical range of about $10 to $25 per ton (roughly $13 to $35 per cubic yard) in the Greenville area. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order and can provide an exact quote based on your zip code and delivery needs. Contact our team for a firm price and delivery options.

One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.6 to 0.9 cubic yards depending on moisture and composition, with a common rule of thumb being about 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards. Suppliers sometimes price by the ton or by the cubic yard, so check how your local Greenville supplier lists prices to compare accurately.

Fill dirt is primarily soil and small particles used to raise or level ground and typically contains little organic matter, while gravel is crushed rock used for drainage, driveways, and structural base. Fill dirt compacts well for grading but doesn’t provide the drainage or load-bearing surface that gravel does.

Cost depends on truck size, supplier, and haul distance; a tri-axle load in our network (commonly used in Greenville deliveries) typically carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards and may cost anywhere from roughly $150 to $600. For an accurate price, request a quote through Hello Gravel—rates vary by supplier, weight, and local delivery logistics.

It depends on depth. For 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches deep you need about 6.2 cubic yards, at 4 inches about 12.3 cubic yards, and at 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards. Multiply the cubic yards by your local per-yard price to estimate cost and keep Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum in mind when ordering.

It depends on the pickup. A full-size pickup bed can hold around 1 cubic yard when loaded carefully, while many half-ton trucks will safely carry only 1/2 to 3/4 cubic yard. Always check your truck's payload rating before hauling fill dirt to avoid overloading and unsafe driving conditions.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, roughly a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube. On a job site it usually appears as a small pile about 4 to 6 feet across and 2 to 3 feet high depending on how it is heaped.

It depends on your wheelbarrow size. A standard contractor wheelbarrow holds about 6 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is about 4 to 5 contractor wheelbarrow loads. For a typical homeowner wheelbarrow closer to 3 cubic feet, one cubic yard is about 8 to 9 loads.

Coverage depends on desired depth and material density, but one ton of fill dirt commonly covers roughly 100 to 130 square feet at a 2-inch depth. At 4 inches deep the coverage falls to about 50 to 65 square feet; always allow extra for compaction and settling.

Buying local, ordering larger quantities, and scheduling during off-peak times usually lowers per-ton cost because you reduce haul distance and truck fees. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and get delivered pricing—we bundle regional suppliers so you can often find better rates than calling multiple haulers yourself.

Truck loads vary by vehicle and local weight rules; tri-axle dump trucks commonly used for Hello Gravel deliveries to Greenville usually carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards, which converts to roughly 12 to 18 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and density. For an exact tonnage for your delivery, ask the supplier or include a delivery note when you order.

Yes, you can place fill dirt over existing soil to raise grade or fill low spots, but for best results remove organic topsoil first and compact the new material in layers to prevent future settling. For larger grading projects in Greenville check local codes and consider drainage impacts before adding significant fill.

Yes. Fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it contains little to no organic material and requires less processing. Use fill dirt for structural grade work; choose topsoil if you plan to plant lawns, gardens, or landscape beds.
