Fill Dirt in Homerville, GA

Yes. Fill dirt is usually cheaper than crushed gravel because it is unprocessed soil without stone. In Homerville you can typically expect lower per-yard pricing for fill dirt compared with gravel, though exact prices depend on local supply, haul distance, and whether the dirt contains clay or sand.

Prices vary by supplier and truck haul, but in the Homerville area you can generally expect fill dirt to fall in a modest range. For a rough estimate, many local deliveries are in the range of about $10 to $30 per cubic yard or the equivalent per ton, with Hello Gravel minimum orders starting at 3 tons and final price depending on availability and delivery distance.

To estimate, 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and will cover 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth. Because fill dirt weighs roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture and soil type, one ton is about 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards. Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft x depth in feet) / 27, then convert to tons with 1.2-1.5 tons per cubic yard for a local Homerville estimate.

Costs depend on truck size, local supplier rates, and distance. A single tri-axle dump delivery in the Homerville area often contains roughly 10 to 12 cubic yards and pricing can vary; expect a delivered load to commonly range from a few hundred to several hundred dollars. For an exact quote and available delivery dates, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. Typical wheelbarrows hold about 3 to 4 cubic feet, so 1 cubic yard equals approximately 7 to 9 wheelbarrow loads. Actual number depends on your wheelbarrow size and how full you load it.

Many full-size pickup beds can carry about 1 cubic yard of dirt by volume, but weight matters more than space. Since 1 cubic yard of fill dirt can weigh roughly 1.2 to 1.5 tons (2,400 to 3,000+ pounds), that may exceed a truck's payload rating. Check your vehicle's payload capacity before loading and consider a professional delivery if you are near the limit.

A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and would form a pile roughly 3 ft wide by 3 ft long by 3 ft high if square. In Homerville, fill dirt often looks sandy to sandy-loam depending on local geology—expect natural color and texture variations based on local sourcing.

Coverage depends on depth. Using approximate conversions, one ton (about 0.7–0.8 cubic yards) will cover roughly 250 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 125 sq ft at 2 inches, and about 83 sq ft at 3 inches. Use these figures for quick planning and adjust for compaction and local soil type.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and level areas, but proper installation matters. Add fill in layers, compact each lift, and finish with topsoil if you want to seed or plant—also watch drainage and local permit rules in Homerville if you change runoff patterns.

You can place gravel over compacted fill dirt, but preparation is important. Remove loose organic material, compact the fill, and consider a geotextile fabric or base layer to prevent soil mixing and sinking. If the fill is soft or full of organic matter, gravel may shift—proper compaction and base preparation reduce that risk.

Truck capacity varies by model and local regulations, but the tri-axle dump trucks Hello Gravel commonly uses in the region often haul about 10 to 16 cubic yards of material. For fill dirt, that converts to roughly 12 to 20 tons depending on soil moisture and density; your exact delivered tonnage will be specified in the quote.

Use depth to calculate. For a 1,000 sq ft area: at 1 inch depth you need about 3.7 cubic yards, at 2 inches about 6.2 cubic yards, and at 3 inches about 9.3 cubic yards. Convert cubic yards to tons using 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard to get a local Homerville tonnage estimate and remember Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order.
