Fill Dirt in Pelham, GA

Yes. Fill dirt is usually less expensive than decorative gravel because it is subsoil without crushed rock or decorative stone. In Pelham you will typically pay less for fill dirt when the source is local, though exact savings depend on delivery distance and whether the dirt needs screening or testing.

Costs vary by supplier, truck type, and moisture, but expect a typical range of about $12 to $35 per cubic yard or roughly $10 to $25 per ton. For an exact price for your Pelham address, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote—minimum orders and delivery fees can affect the final price.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. Depending on moisture and soil composition, 1 cubic yard of fill dirt in West Georgia generally weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons. Use cubic yards for volume planning and check payload limits if hauling in a pickup.

Most local contracted dump trucks serving Pelham are tri-axle trucks that carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. Smaller single-axle trucks hold less and large end-dump trucks can carry more—your Hello Gravel quote will list the expected truck size and load.

Maybe, but it depends on your truck's bed size and payload capacity. A typical full-size pickup can hold about 0.5 to 1 cubic yard loose, but fill dirt is heavy and may exceed a truck's safe payload; always check your vehicle’s payload rating before hauling dirt in Pelham.

Measure the area in square feet and the desired depth in feet, then use this formula: (area x depth) / 27 = cubic yards. Example: a 10 ft by 10 ft area filled to 6 inches uses (100 x 0.5) / 27 = about 1.9 cubic yards. Call Hello Gravel if you want us to double-check your math for Pelham projects.

Yes, bulk dirt is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than bagged dirt when you need more than a few bags. For most Pelham landscaping or grading jobs, ordering bulk through Hello Gravel is more economical, especially because we coordinate delivery and local sourcing.

A common wheelbarrow holds about 2 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 13 to 14 wheelbarrow loads. If your wheelbarrow is larger or smaller, adjust proportionally.

One cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at a 3-inch depth or about 324 square feet at a 1-inch depth. Visualizing that helps—a compact pile about 3 feet high covering a roughly 6 ft by 6 ft square is close to one cubic yard.

Fill dirt is commonly used to raise grades and fill low spots, but it’s best for structural fill rather than final planting surfaces. In Pelham’s clay-prone soils, compacting and proper drainage matter; add a layer of topsoil or amended soil for lawns and gardens and compact fill in lifts for better stability.

A full tri-axle load (about 10 to 14 cubic yards) can vary widely in price depending on local supplier rates and delivery distance. A typical range might be a few hundred dollars to several hundred dollars; get a specific quote via Hello Gravel for the Pelham zip code to see exact pricing and any minimum order or delivery fee.

Order bulk (not bags), consolidate deliveries if you need multiple loads, schedule delivery on a weekday, and buy locally to reduce haul distance. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator and zip-code quotes to compare local supplier rates and avoid overordering.

Coverage depends on depth. Use cubic yards for planning: 1 cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1 inch or 108 sq ft at 3 inches. Because a ton of fill dirt in Pelham can equal roughly 0.7 to 1.5 cubic yards depending on moisture and makeup, a ton will generally cover roughly 100 to 300 sq ft at a 1-inch depth and proportionally less at deeper depths.
