Fill Dirt in LaGrange, GA

Delivered fill dirt prices in LaGrange typically range, roughly $12 to $28 per cubic yard depending on supplier, screening, and truck access. Per-ton pricing varies with material density but commonly works out to about $10 to $22 per ton; exact price depends on moisture, screening, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (3 tons) and will provide a firm delivered price for your zip code during checkout.

A typical tri-axle dump truck serving West Georgia carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of fill dirt (about 12 yd3 is common), which usually weighs between 12 and 20 tons depending on moisture and soil type. Delivered cost for a full truck depends on per-yard pricing and any local fees, so multiply the quoted per-cubic-yard price by the truck volume and add any service fees; request a truckload quote from Hello Gravel for an exact delivered price.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you should request the service at checkout so the driver can assess safety and feasibility on arrival. Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading or compaction, and mechanical compaction generally requires a contractor or rental equipment (skid-steer with plate compactor or vibratory roller), which is billed separately by the contractor. For a firm price on spreading or compaction labor, we recommend getting quotes from local landscapers or general contractors in LaGrange.

Fill dirt is usually less expensive per cubic yard than most decorative gravels and is the right choice when your goal is to raise ground level or fill deep holes. Gravel is better when you need improved drainage or a stable walking/drive surface. In West Georgia, where native soils can be clayey, many homeowners use fill dirt to build grade and then cap with topsoil or gravel depending on drainage and final use.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.35 cubic yards of material (1000 * 4/12 / 27 = 12.35 yd3). That volume typically equals roughly 14 to 16 tons depending on local soil density and moisture; we recommend ordering 5 to 10 percent extra to allow for settling and grading.

Uncompacted fill dirt can settle noticeably over weeks to months, with most settlement occurring after the first few rain events or when the area is walked or driven on. For general landscaping fills, buying 5 to 10 percent extra is common; for deep fills or where you plan to build on top, stage the fill and mechanically compact in lifts and buy extra to allow for compaction. If you need engineered compaction or immediate load-bearing capacity, hire a compaction contractor and tell them the material source so they can advise on lift thickness and compaction targets.

For most homeowners in LaGrange, bulk delivery is the most cost-effective and convenient option for volumes above a few cubic yards because it avoids multiple rental trips and labor. Local pickup can save money if you have a suitable truck and can load and spread the material yourself, but it requires time and equipment. Hiring a contractor may include hauling, spreading, and compaction but adds labor costs; compare the delivered material price plus labor to full-service contractor quotes before deciding.

Some suppliers in Hello Gravel's network offer screened fill dirt (cleaner, fewer rocks and debris) and unscreened native subsoil (cheaper and more variable). Screened fill dirt usually costs more per cubic yard because of the extra processing and handling; unscreened material is less expensive but may contain rocks and roots. When ordering, select the option you need and check the delivered price for LaGrange—we can show screened vs unscreened pricing when you enter your zip code.

Fill dirt is not recommended for garden beds because it is subsoil with low organic matter; it will not support healthy plant growth on its own. For planting, order screened topsoil or a soil blend designed for gardens; Hello Gravel sources topsoil and other planting mixes in West Georgia. If you need to raise grade first, many homeowners place fill dirt for bulk raising and then cap with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil for planting.
