Why Ocilla Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Ocilla's city population is 4,840, located in a growing West Georgia region inside a metro area of 2.3+ million residents. The metro's annual growth rate is 2.10% annually, and Ocilla sees a moderate climate with an average annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, 228 sunny days per year, and a planting Hardiness Zone of 8b. That mix of steady population growth and a temperate climate drives ongoing residential projects—yard regrades, new home pads, driveway builds, and utility work—all of which raise demand for reliable aggregates. Homeowners looking to tackle these projects prioritize consistent material quality and predictable delivery so excavations, compaction, and grading finish on schedule and perform well through seasonal rain and sun exposure.Popular Projects in Ocilla This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Ocilla Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Ocilla.
Prices for fill dirt in Ocilla typically vary based on quantity, delivery distance, and local supplier. Expect rough ranges of about $10 to $40 per cubic yard delivered or $8 to $30 per ton as a guideline, but get a local quote for an exact price. Hello Gravel can provide transparent pricing and local quotes for your zip code.
A ton of fill dirt in the Ocilla area usually costs in the range of $8 to $30, depending on supplier, truck access, and moisture content. Prices change with demand and hauling distance, so request a delivered price from Hello Gravel for an accurate number.
No. Fill dirt is subsoil used to raise grade or fill voids and generally has few nutrients, while topsoil is richer and meant for planting. If you plan to grow grass or gardens after grading, add a layer of topsoil on top of your fill dirt.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel because it is less processed and often sourced from excavation sites. Gravel costs more due to crushing, washing, and transport, but choose material based on function — gravel for drainage and driveways, fill dirt for building up grade.
Yes. Buying fill dirt in bulk by the cubic yard or ton is almost always cheaper per unit than buying bagged soil. Bulk delivery has a minimum (Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons), so buying in bulk makes sense for any project larger than a few bags.
Most full-size pickup trucks carry about 1/2 to 1 cubic yard of loose fill dirt depending on bed size and how high you load it. For jobs that need several cubic yards, a dump truck delivery is easier and more cost-effective.
Coverage depends on depth: one ton of fill dirt is about 0.8 to 1.0 cubic yards, which will cover roughly 270 to 324 square feet at 1 inch deep. For practical planning, use the formula: Area (sq ft) = cubic yards x 324 (for 1 inch depth) and adjust for your desired depth and compaction.
A common tri-axle dump truck used in the Ocilla area carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose material, which is roughly 10 to 18 tons depending on moisture and material density. Truck sizes vary by hauler, so Hello Gravel will confirm the truck type and estimated quantity when you order.
Cost for a full dump truck load depends on truck size and material price; a 10 to 14 cubic yard load can range roughly from $150 to $600 delivered in Ocilla. For an exact delivered price, request a quote through Hello Gravel with your delivery address and project details.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and regrade yards, but it is best for structural fill rather than final planting surface. After grading with fill dirt, add a few inches of topsoil if you plan to seed or plant, and compact in lifts to reduce future settling.
Fill dirt is often the most economical backfill for non-structural areas because it is inexpensive and readily available locally. For foundation backfill or areas requiring good drainage, contractors may use a mix of fill and crushed stone depending on engineer recommendations.
Order online by checking your zip code, selecting Fill Dirt, and choosing a delivery date on the checkout calendar; standard delivery is 2+ business days with a next-day option if ordered before noon CST. Minimum orders start at 3 tons and Hello Gravel will coordinate a local supplier and hauler for delivery.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but this is not guaranteed and depends on site access and safety. Request spreading at checkout and the driver will assess upon arrival, but plan for manual or equipment spreading if precise grading is required.
Materials supplied in Ocilla reflect local geology, so fill dirt may be sandy, loamy, or contain clay depending on the source. Expect natural variation in texture and color, and note that local climate and soil type affect compaction and drainage, so factor that into your project planning.
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.
