Fill Dirt in Marietta, GA

Delivered prices in Marietta typically run between $10 and $30 per cubic yard, depending on source, moisture, and haul distance. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may charge more for next-day delivery or long hauls; request a quote for an exact delivered price to your address. Regional variations in Georgia clay content can affect price and compaction needs.

Per-ton pricing usually falls in the range of about $10 to $25 per ton delivered in the Atlanta-Marietta area, though rates fluctuate with local supply and truck availability. Hello Gravel lists clear pricing at checkout and can give an exact per-ton quote for your zip code and delivery date. Large orders often reduce the delivered per-ton price.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it lacks organic matter and is used to raise grade rather than grow plants. Use fill dirt to build up low spots, then cap with 4–6 inches of topsoil if you plan to seed or plant. In Marietta’s clay-heavy soils, adding a topsoil layer improves drainage and plant health.

A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly used by Hello Gravel carries about 10–14 cubic yards loose, which for fill dirt typically translates to roughly 12–18 tons depending on moisture and compaction. Smaller single-axle trucks hold about 6–8 cubic yards (8–12 tons). Always confirm truck size and expected volume with your delivery coordinator.

Yes, buying fill dirt in bulk is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than buying bagged dirt at retail stores. Bulk delivery reduces handling and packaging costs, and delivery minimums (Hello Gravel’s 3-ton minimum) make it the economical choice for most yard- and site-leveling jobs. Bagged dirt is convenient for very small projects but becomes costly for larger quantities.

At a rough delivered rate of $10–$30 per cubic yard, 100 cubic yards would cost about $1,000–$3,000, plus any special hauling or next-day fees. Large orders often qualify for lower per-yard pricing, so get a bundled quote from Hello Gravel for a precise total and delivery plan. Also factor in compaction equipment or spreading labor if needed.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. That covers about 324 square feet at a 1-inch depth, roughly 162 square feet at 2 inches, or about 54 square feet at 6 inches. For leveling or building grade, calculate required depth first and then convert to cubic yards to be accurate.

Expect 10 cubic yards to range roughly from $100 to $300 delivered, based on typical $10–$30 per cubic yard pricing in the Marietta area. Exact pricing depends on supplier, truck access on your property, and any requested services like tailgate spreading. Use Hello Gravel’s checkout or request a quote to lock in a specific price for your address.

Most full-size pickups can safely carry between 1/2 and 1 cubic yard in their bed without overloading, depending on bed size and vehicle payload capacity. Overfilling above the bed rails or exceeding payload limits is unsafe and often illegal; for larger amounts use a dump-truck delivery. Check your vehicle’s payload rating before attempting to haul dirt yourself.

One cubic yard is a cube roughly 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet, about the size of a small kitchen table. It’s also roughly 8–10 wheelbarrow loads depending on wheelbarrow size. Visually, it will form a modest pile—useful for small low spots but not enough for major grading work.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level yards, but in Marietta you should account for clay-heavy native soils which affect drainage and compaction. Place fill dirt in thin lifts and compact each layer for stability, and finish with several inches of topsoil where you plan to plant grass or landscaping. Check local grading rules if you are changing drainage patterns or adding significant fill near property lines.

Coverage depends on depth because fill dirt is sold by volume. For basic reference, one cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth; since a ton is not a consistent volume for soil, estimating by cubic yards is more reliable. For slopes or structural fill where weight matters, ask Hello Gravel for a weight estimate because moisture content and soil type (common in Marietta) change how many tons are needed.

The most economical option is ordering bulk fill dirt from a local supplier with dump-truck delivery and accepting standard 2+ business day scheduling to avoid rush fees. Consolidate needs into a single larger delivery (within site access limits) to lower the per-yard price, and avoid bagged product for large volumes. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier rates and schedule the delivery window that minimizes extra charges.

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