Fill Dirt in Ochlocknee, GA

Prices vary by supplier and delivery, but fill dirt in Georgia commonly ranges from about $10 to $30 per cubic yard (roughly $8 to $20 per ton) depending on moisture, screening, and haul distance. In Ochlocknee, delivery charges, minimum order size (Hello Gravel minimum: 3 tons), and local availability can shift the final price, so get a quote for an exact total.

Fill dirt is primarily soil used to raise grade or fill low spots and typically contains fines (sand, silt, clay) with minimal rock, while gravel is crushed stone used for drainage and structural bases. Use fill dirt to build up yard grade, level a lot, or backfill foundations; use gravel where drainage and load-bearing surface are needed, like driveways or base layers. If you need both, contractors often place fill dirt for volume and cap it with gravel or topsoil depending on the project.

Fill dirt weight varies with moisture and composition but typically one cubic yard weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons. That means a 3-ton minimum order will usually cover roughly 2 to 2.5 cubic yards. When ordering, tell us the volume you need and we will convert between tons and cubic yards for accurate delivery.

Calculate cubic yards by multiplying square feet by depth in feet and dividing by 27 (yards per cubic yard). For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft area by 2 inches (0.167 ft) needs about 6.2 cubic yards of fill dirt. Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your area and target depth for a quick estimate.

Fill dirt may occasionally contain small roots, stones, or organic fragments depending on the local supplier and screening process, but large debris is typically removed by reputable suppliers. If you need 'clean fill' for construction, note that in your order and request verification; additional screening or an engineered fill may carry an extra charge. Contact customer service before ordering if you have strict material requirements.

Fill dirt can be used to raise grade around sheds or for non-structural backfill, but it usually requires proper compaction to reduce settling. For foundation work, footings, or any load-bearing application, contractors often specify engineered fill or compacted aggregates—ask a pro if your project is structural. If you plan to use fill dirt for these purposes, mention it in your order so we can suggest appropriate material or recommend testing.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Hello Gravel deliveries are made by local contracted dump truck fleets, and tailgate spreading may be possible at the driver's discretion when requested at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed. Make sure your delivery area is accessible for a tri-axle truck and include delivery notes if there are access restrictions.

Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, fill dirt in the Ochlocknee area will reflect local soils and may be a mix of sandy loam and clay that affects compaction and drainage. That mix is usually fine for general grading and filling, but poor drainage or heavy clay may need different material or amendments for landscaping or planting. If you have concerns about drainage, compaction, or plant health, contact our team for guidance or request lab-tested/engineered fill.

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

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.
