Fill Dirt in Harlem, GA

Delivered fill dirt prices in West Georgia typically vary based on source, moisture content, and local demand. Expect a ballpark range rather than a fixed price; final cost depends on per-ton rate, minimum order (Hello Gravel minimum is 3 tons), and delivery fees. Contact Hello Gravel for a zip-code-specific quote and delivery availability in Harlem.

One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.6–0.7 cubic yards, which covers about 72 square feet at a 3-inch depth or about 36 square feet at a 6-inch depth. Coverage changes with compaction and moisture, so order a little extra when you plan for settling and compaction. Use our material calculator or contact our team to get a precise yardage estimate for your project in Harlem.

Truck capacities vary by truck type and local weight limits. Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks that generally carry about 10–14 tons of fill dirt; larger end-dump trucks can carry 15–20 tons. Confirm truck size when you order if you need a specific load size or placement pattern.

The cost of a dump-truck load equals the per-ton price multiplied by the truck's tonnage plus any delivery or access fees. For example, if fill dirt is $20/ton and a tri-axle holds 12 tons, the material cost would be about $240 before delivery charges and taxes.

In most cases fill dirt is less expensive per ton than crushed gravel because it is less processed. Prices depend on local availability and the type of gravel (decorative vs. base gravel), so there are exceptions. If cost is the main concern, request quotes for both materials in Harlem to compare delivered prices.

Order in bulk to reduce per-ton cost, choose standard delivery (2+ business days) when possible, and source locally so you avoid long-haul delivery charges. Use Hello Gravel to compare local suppliers and consolidate orders to the minimum 3-ton requirement to save on delivery fees. If you can accept local, unprocessed fill for backfill rather than screened or blended products, that is typically cheaper.

Fill dirt is suitable for raising grades, backfilling trenches, and general leveling around lawns and driveways. It is not the same as topsoil for planting — it has low organic matter and often compacts, so add topsoil for planting beds. For structural applications (foundations, driveways, retaining walls), you may need engineered fill and compaction testing; consult a contractor or engineer before use.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials regionally, fill dirt delivered to Harlem often reflects West Georgia soils, which can include clay-rich, reddish, or loamy material depending on the quarry or borrow site. Expect natural color and texture variation, and note any color preferences in Order Notes at checkout. If you need a specific texture or drainage characteristic, ask our team for local supplier details and samples.

We will do our best to accommodate date or quantity adjustments but cannot guarantee changes after dispatch. For same-day or next-day delivery requests, call our team immediately to discuss options and any applicable fees.

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.
