Fill Dirt in Ila, GA

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than most decorative gravels in the Ila area because it is an unprocessed, locally sourced soil product. Exact prices vary with supplier and delivery, but homeowners in West Georgia typically pay less per cubic yard for fill dirt than they do for crushed stone or pea gravel.

In West Georgia around Ila, delivered fill dirt commonly ranges from about $12 to $30 per cubic yard depending on local supplier, moisture, and how far it must be hauled. Final price on Hello Gravel will depend on your zip code, the 3-ton minimum order, and whether you request next-day delivery or other services.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, which can translate to about 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Exact payload varies by truck and local weight limits, so Hello Gravel will confirm expected truck size and estimated tons when you place your order.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards of fill dirt (area x depth / 27). That amount typically weighs roughly 7 to 9 tons depending on local soil density and moisture, so plan for the 3-ton minimum and order the nearest practical amount.

Most standard pickup beds hold between about 0.5 and 1.0 cubic yard depending on bed size and whether you load above the bed rails. For safety and legal weight limits, a full 1 cubic yard of fill dirt often exceeds what you should carry in a pickup, so a small dump truck delivery is usually the better option for full-yard loads.

One cubic yard is a pile about 3 ft long by 3 ft wide by 3 ft high (27 cubic feet). In practice a loose yard of fill dirt will look slightly larger before compaction, and once compacted it will settle and occupy less volume.

The number depends on your wheelbarrow size. With common wheelbarrows holding 2 to 3 cubic feet, one cubic yard (27 cu ft) equals roughly 9 to 14 wheelbarrow loads, so plan accordingly for labor and time.

Coverage depends on the depth you want. One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yard, so at a 4-inch depth it will cover about 60 to 70 square feet; at a 2-inch depth it covers roughly 120 to 140 square feet.

Yes, but preparation matters—especially in West Georgia where clay content can be high. Compact the fill dirt, add a layer of crushed stone or geotextile if drainage is needed, and use a pRoper base course before the finishing gravel to avoid settling and wAshout.

No. Fill dirt is typically subsoil with little organic matter, used to build up elevation or fill holes, while topsoil contains organic material suited for planting and construction sand is coarse and used for drainage or bedding. Choose fill dirt when you need structural fill rather than planting medium.

Order by the cubic yard in the largest practical quantity to lower per-unit hauling costs, schedule standard delivery at least 2 business days out to avoid rush fees, and check local suppliers through Hello Gravel to compare quotes. Also ask about using the truck’s tailgate spreading (avaIlable at driver discretion) to save on labor if feasible.

Standard delivery through Hello Gravel generally requires 2 or more business days, and next-day delivery is avaIlable for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery timing depends on local supplier schedules and truck avaIlability, so choose your preferred date during checkout.

Because Hello Gravel sources locally, fill dirt in Ila will reflect regional geology—often heavier in clay and with natural color variation. That makes it good for building grade but less ideal for planting; if you need planting soil, order topsoil or a mix separately.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel; we will do our best to accommodate requests before your order is dispatched. Changes become harder once a truck is scheduled, so early contact improves the chance of a smooth adjustment.

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