A tri-axle dump truck commonly carries about 10–14 cubic yards (roughly 12–18 tons for fill dirt), so multiply the per-yard price by the truck yards to estimate material cost. For example, at $25 per cubic yard a 12-yard load would be about $300 for material before delivery; final cost depends on supplier, distance, and any disposal or access fees.

Yes, in most cases fill dirt is cheaper than crushed gravel or stone because it is a less-processed material. Choose fill dirt when you need inexpensive bulk to raise grade or backfill, and choose gravel when you need drainage or a finished surface—Hello Gravel can help you decide which fits your project and budget.

Coverage depends on depth: one ton of fill dirt typically covers about 200–300 square feet at 1 inch depth. For common depths: at 3 inches one ton covers roughly 65–100 sq ft, and at 6 inches it covers about 33–50 sq ft; adjust for compaction and settle by ordering 5–10% extra.

Buying in bulk and ordering local material are the best ways to lower cost—choose a larger delivery (per-truck) and source from suppliers close to Lula to reduce haul fees. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier prices, schedule delivery on weekdays, and add any pickup or staging notes to avoid extra trips.

Truck capacity varies: a tri-axle dump used by Hello Gravel partners typically carries about 12–18 tons of fill dirt, while tandem or smaller trucks carry roughly 6–10 tons. Ask the delivery vendor which truck will be used for your order so you can plan unloading space and placement.

Measure the length and width of the area and decide the depth in inches, then use this formula: (length x width x depth in inches) / 324 = cubic yards needed. Convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by about 1.3 (varies by soil density), and round up 5–10% for compaction and waste; Hello Gravel’s material calculator can do this automatically.
