Fill Dirt in Pearson, GA

Prices vary with supplier, haul distance, and season, but in West Georgia delivered fill dirt to Pearson commonly falls in the range of about $10 to $25 per cubic yard (roughly 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard). Small orders and long hauls push prices higher; larger orders or local suppliers can be cheaper.

For general fill in Pearson's clay soils use clean, well-graded fill free of roots and organic material, placed in 6–8 inch loose lifts and compacted. Aim for about 90–95% of maximum dry density (Standard Proctor) for landscaping and yard fills; more critical structural work may require engineered fill and higher compaction. Always follow any engineer or building-department specs for foundation or driveway subgrade work.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days with an optional next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are made by regional dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and availability in small towns like Pearson depends on nearby suppliers, so lead times can lengthen during busy seasons. Request your preferred delivery date at checkout and contact customer service early to confirm supplier availability.

Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in square feet * depth in inches) / 324. Then convert to tons by multiplying cubic yards by a typical fill dirt density (about 1.3 tons per cubic yard). For example, raising a 1,000 sq ft area by 2 inches needs about (1000*2)/324 = 6.17 cubic yards, or roughly 8.0 tons of fill dirt.

Fill dirt will compact and hold grade when properly placed, compacted, and drained, but Pearson's humid climate and heavy rain events increase the risk of erosion and settling. To minimize problems, compact in lifts, provide positive drainage, seed or install erosion control on slopes, and consider geotextile or riprap for vulnerable areas. Expect some settlement over the first months; plan for additional top dressing or regrading if needed.

Use fill dirt when you need to raise grade or backfill large areas where structural strength is not required. For driveway bases choose crusher run (crushed stone with fines) for strength and compaction, and use clean fill (screened, low-organic material) or structural fill for engineered backfill around foundations. Sand is best for bedding utilities and leveling pavers but is not a good structural base for driveways on its own.

Large grading, earthwork, or changes to stormwater flow may require permits from Pearson city or Atkinson County; HOAs can also have rules about changing yard elevation or visible earthwork. Before ordering large quantities of fill dirt, check with Pearson City Hall, Atkinson County building/zoning, and your HOA for permit and erosion-control requirements. If you need help, Hello Gravel's team can point you to local contacts and common permit questions.

Local excavators, grading contractors, and landscape firms generally handle compacted fill installations in West Georgia; contractor availability varies in rural areas near Pearson. Use Hello Gravel's supplier network, ask for local references, request proof of compaction (compaction tests or documented lift/compaction practices), and get multiple bids to compare. Verify insurance, experience with local clay soils, and familiarity with permitting and erosion control.

Mark the exact drop location, check for overhead wires and tight turns, and make sure the access driveway can handle a tri-axle dump truck. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want it performed, but note drivers do this at their discretion and Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading. For obstructed or limited-access sites, communicate photos and notes at order time so suppliers can plan equipment and placement.
