Fill Dirt in Quitman, GA

Prices vary by supplier and season, but in the Quitman/West Georgia area expect roughly $10–$30 per cubic yard (about $8–$24 per ton) depending on moisture, compaction, and local availability. Hello Gravel lists exact pricing when you enter your zip code and place an order; our minimum order is 3 tons. Contact our team for a firm quote and to confirm delivery fees for your address.

One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and typically weighs about 1.2–1.5 tons for fill dirt, so coverage depends on depth. As a rule of thumb, one cubic yard covers 100 square feet at 3 inches deep; to raise 100 square feet by 6 inches you need about 2 cubic yards (roughly 2.4–3 tons). Use these conversions when estimating for your project.

Multiply the area in square feet by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards (Area x Depth / 27 = cubic yards). Multiply cubic yards by about 1.2–1.5 to estimate tons. You can also use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions for help.

Fill dirt is coarse and low in organic matter, so it is fine for building up grade or under a lawn but not ideal as a planting or topsoil layer. If you plan to grow grass or plants, place 4–6 inches of topsoil or a soil/topsoil mix on top of the fill dirt. For new lawns, consider bringing in topsoil or amending the top layer for best results.

Yes, fill dirt will settle and can compact over time, especially in West Georgia where clay content and moisture vary. For structural fills or driveways, place and compact fill dirt in 4–6 inch lifts and use mechanical compaction where practical. For small residential grade work, expect some settlement and plan to add or regrade as needed after initial settling.

Deliveries to Quitman are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and require a minimum order of 3 tons. Standard delivery is 2+ business days after ordering; a next-day option is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Drivers may perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but access, overhead lines, and road width in Quitman can limit placement, so note any access issues at checkout.

Create a clear, level drop zone with firm ground able to support a heavy truck, remove cars and obstacles from the driveway, and mark the desired dump location with flags or stakes. Check for low-hanging wires, tree limbs, or tight turns that could prevent truck access and tell our team at booking if access is restricted. Place plywood or boards to protect driveways if needed and have someone on site to direct the driver for safe placement.

Permit requirements vary by project size and location; small residential fills are often allowed without a permit, but larger grading, changes to drainage, or work in regulated areas may need city or county approval. Check with the Quitman city office or Brooks County building/permits department before large deliveries, especially if you are altering drainage, working near wetlands, or in a floodplain. If you need help, contact our team and we can point you to local resources.

Because Hello Gravel sources materials locally, fill dirt delivered to Quitman will reflect regional geology—often including more clay and heavier textures than soils in other parts of the country. Expect color and particle size to vary based on local suppliers; if you have a preference for texture or color, add that to Order Notes and our team will do our best to match it. For certain projects, we can recommend mixes or ask suppliers to provide a closer match.

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.
