Fill Dirt in Macon, GA

Prices for fill dirt in Macon typically vary by source, quality, and delivery distance; expect a broad range (for budgeting) rather than a fixed price. Many local suppliers quote per cubic yard in the low-to-mid tens of dollars, but exact rates vary by supplier, screening, and hauling.

Yes, urban areas like Atlanta often have slightly higher prices due to stronger demand, disposal fees, and longer haul times for local quarries. Macon pricing is frequently a bit lower because of lower demand and shorter hauling distances, but actual differences depend on the supplier and where the material is sourced. Request quotes for both areas through Hello Gravel to compare side by side.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons, and delivery is handled by local contracted dump trucks. Many Macon deliveries have no additional fee for standard service, but fees can apply for long distances, tight access, or special requests; expect occasional delivery charges or fuel surcharges depending on location. Ask for an itemized delivery estimate in checkout to see any fees for your address.

To raise an area by 1 foot, divide the square footage by 27 to get cubic yards (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet). For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft area by 1 foot needs about 37 cubic yards of fill dirt. If you want a ton estimate, multiply cubic yards by roughly 1.2–1.4 tons per cubic yard depending on material moisture and compaction.

Yes, many Macon suppliers offer options like screened fill, select fill, or on-request compaction; screened/select materials cost more than plain unprocessed fill. Expect screened or select fill to run higher (often around 10%–35% more) because of quarry processing and handling, and compaction is usually a separate service or done by a contractor. Contact Hello Gravel to specify screened or select fill so we can match you with the right local supplier and price.

Delivery drivers sometimes provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and is not a standard Hello Gravel service. For routine spreading, homeowners typically hire local labor or equipment (skid steer, mini-excavator), with common rates in central Georgia ranging from about $50–$125 per hour for labor or equipment operators depending on experience and equipment. For larger jobs contractors may quote a per-yard spreading rate; ask your Hello Gravel quote if the supplier offers spreading or referrals for local crews.

Yes—significant grading, large-fill placement, or work that changes drainage patterns can trigger local permits and erosion-control requirements in the City of Macon-Bibb. Before ordering large volumes, check with Macon-Bibb Planning and Codes or your contractor to confirm whether a grading permit, erosion control plan, or right-of-way permit is needed. When in doubt, consult the local permitting office or a licensed contractor to avoid fines or rework.

For structural backfill and building pads use clean subsoil or select fill compacted in lifts; avoid using topsoil as structural fill. For driveways, use a crushed stone base with geotextile if drainage and load-bearing are priorities, and reserve screened topsoil mixes only for flower beds or lawn areas. In Macon’s warm, humid climate with clay-prone soils, prioritize proper compaction and drainage to minimize settling and erosion.

Yes—suppliers commonly offer contractor pricing and volume discounts for regular accounts and large orders. Typical breakpoints where pricing improves are often around 50 tons and more favorable rates around 100 tons or for scheduled repeat deliveries, but exact thresholds vary by supplier and quarry. Contact Hello Gravel’s sales team to negotiate contractor rates and set up account pricing for recurring loads.

Standard delivery lead time with Hello Gravel is 2+ business days, subject to local supplier availability and seasonality. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before the cutoff (see checkout), but large-volume or specialty materials may require several days to a week for scheduling. For time-sensitive or large projects, request a delivery window early so we can confirm supplier availability and truck scheduling.

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