Use cubic yards = area (sq ft) × depth (in) / 324. For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft driveway by 4 inches needs about 12.3 cubic yards (≈15–18 tons), and by 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards (≈22–28 tons), depending on moisture and compaction (we assume ~1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard).

On clay soils, plain fill dirt is fine for rough grading and non-structural backfill but is usually not recommended as the primary base for driveways or septic pads because it can retain water and settle. For driveways and septic systems you should use well-compacted structural fill or crushed stone and follow local code or an engineer's recommendations to ensure drainage and load-bearing capacity.

Compact fill dirt in layers (lifts) of about 4 to 6 inches using a vibratory plate compactor for small areas or a small roller for larger areas. Moisture-condition the soil before compaction (not soaking), make multiple passes per lift, and consider hiring equipment rental or a contractor for larger residential projects to achieve uniform density.

Avoid scheduling large deliveries during wet summer spells; place and compact fill dirt during a dry window to get proper compaction. Luthersville has mild winters but occasional freeze-thaw—try to finish major earthwork before repeated freezes or immediately after prolonged rain to reduce settlement and muddy access issues.

Permitting requirements vary by project type and volume; simple grading on private property may not need a permit, but septic systems, changes to drainage, or significant regrading often require county permits and inspections. Contact the Meriwether County planning/building office and your local health department before placing large volumes, and check for any HOA rules or driveway approach permits.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and our standard delivery window is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Local suppliers may quote 2–5 business days depending on availability and distance; allow extra time for large orders or restricted residential access.

Fill dirt is low-cost soil used for raising grade and backfill but it does not provide reliable drainage or structural support. Structural fill or crushed stone provides a stable, well-draining base for driveways and building pads and is usually required where load-bearing or long-term stability matters; for many projects a layer of crushed stone over compacted fill dirt is the best practice.

A driveway with a fill dirt base will likely require more frequent maintenance—periodic regrading and adding material after heavy rains—because fill dirt can settle and rut over time. With good drainage, proper compaction, and a durable wearing surface (gravel or crushed stone), you can reduce upkeep; without those measures expect repairs every few years depending on traffic and weather.

Clear a safe drop zone, confirm truck access and turning radius with Hello Gravel before delivery, and note overhead lines or narrow gates in Order Notes. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if desired (driver will assess on arrival), verify where to dump to protect turf and drainage, and contact our team promptly if you need to change or cancel the order.

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

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
