Because fill dirt densities vary, expect roughly $12 to $40 per cubic yard in Monroe based on local suppliers and how compacted the material is. Use the delivered price per ton and your project density to convert, or use Hello Gravel’s material calculator for a site-specific estimate. Keep in mind heavy, clay-rich fills pack heavier and raise cost per cubic yard.

For a driveway base, aim for 90 to 95 percent of standard Proctor compaction where structural stability is needed. Place fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts (loose depth) and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller. After a compacted fill base, add a gravel surfacing layer to improve drainage and rut resistance in Monroe’s rainy climate.

Fill dirt can be appropriate in Monroe for building up grades and structural fill because it usually has low organic content and compacts well. However, because heavy rains are common, proper compaction, drainage planning, and a wearing surface (gravel, riprap, or vegetation) are essential to prevent erosion and settling. For areas with persistent water, consider engineered fill or adding a drainage layer instead of using only fill dirt.

As a rule of thumb: a 2-car driveway about 18 ft wide by 20 ft long (360 sq ft) raised 6 inches (0.5 ft) equals about 6.7 cubic yards of loose material. Allow 15–25 percent for compaction and settling, so plan on 8 to 8.5 cubic yards, which typically equals roughly 10 to 12 tons of fill dirt using common local densities. Use Hello Gravel’s calculator or contact our team with your exact dimensions to get a precise delivered quantity.

For erosion-prone slopes in West Georgia, plain fill dirt alone is often not enough. Use a combination of compacted fill with a top layer of stone, crushed rock, or erosion-control blanket, and establish vegetation; consider a blended soil with some fines for stability plus surface rock to shed water. For major slopes, discuss engineered solutions (terracing, retaining walls, or geotextile) with a local contractor before ordering large quantities.

Fill dirt is usually inexpensive and suitable for raising grade and backfill where organic matter is minimal, but it may not provide the best drainage. Crusher run is a compactable mix of crushed stone and fines that gives a strong, well-draining base for driveways and pads. Clean fill (no topsoil or organics) is closer to fill dirt but may be better specified for foundation backfill; for structural pads, many contractors prefer crusher run or engineered base material over plain fill dirt.

Yes. Monroe is in Walton County and the city and county planning offices regulate grading and land-disturbing activity; projects that disturb one acre or more typically require state NPDES/erosion permits from Georgia EPD. Before large fills or major grading, contact the City of Monroe Planning Department or Walton County Development Services and check Georgia EPD requirements to confirm permit needs and erosion-control rules.

Hello Gravel has a minimum order of 3 tons and delivers by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle). Make sure there is sufficient truck access, a clear drop zone, and a stable surface for a heavy truck to maneuver; typical tri-axle trucks need about a 12–14 foot wide turning path and 12–15 feet of vertical clearance. You can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers will only spread at their discretion for safety—plan to hire local help for precise spreading and compaction if needed.

A fill dirt surface by itself will rut and wash out faster in Monroe’s rain-prone climate than a finished gravel or paved surface. To extend lifespan, cap the fill with a 3–4 inch layer of crushed stone or 2–3 inches of compacted gravel, regrade low spots annually, and add material after heavy storms. Periodic regrading and adding fresh gravel every few years will keep ruts down and drainage functioning.

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