Fill Dirt in Roswell, GA

Prices in Roswell vary by source, haul distance, and screening, but expect roughly $10 to $40 per cubic yard delivered or about $8 to $30 per ton as a broad range. Final price depends on truck size, distance from the supplier, whether the dirt is screened, and site access. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and shows transparent delivered pricing at checkout.

Fill dirt weight varies with moisture and composition; one cubic yard typically weighs about 2,000 to 3,000 pounds (roughly 1.0 to 1.35 tons). In Roswell you may see clay-rich Georgia fill that is dense, brown to red in color, and may contain small rocks or root pieces unless specified as screened fill.

Fill dirt is mainly soil with little organic material used to raise grade and fill holes, while gravel is an aggregate of rock used for drainage and load-bearing surfaces. Fill dirt compacts to create structure but does not drain as well as gravel, so they serve different purposes on a job site.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than most gravels because it contains natural soil rather than quarried stone or processed product. Costs still vary depending on screening, delivery distance, and whether you need clean fill or engineered fill for compaction.

One cubic yard will often physically fit in the bed of a full-size pickup, but the weight can exceed the truck's payload capacity and legal limits. Check your truck's GVWR/payload rating before hauling; if in doubt, order delivery from Hello Gravel to avoid overloading.

Coverage depends on the truck and desired depth. A typical tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards; at 4 inches deep, 1 cubic yard covers 81 sq ft, so 10 cubic yards covers roughly 810 sq ft at 4 inches or about 270 sq ft at 1 foot depth. Ask Hello Gravel for exact truck yardage and a site-specific coverage estimate.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and regrade yards, but you should place it in layers and compact each layer to reduce future settling. In Roswell's clay-prone soils, proper compaction and sometimes a granular base or geotextile can help with drainage; top with 4–6 inches of topsoil if you plan to seed or plant.

You can put gravel over compacted fill dirt, but preparation matters: compact the fill, install a geotextile fabric if needed, and add a base layer of crushed stone for stability and drainage. Without proper prep the gravel may sink or mix with the underlying soil over time.

Measure the area in feet, multiply length × width × desired depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. For example, a 20 ft × 10 ft area at 6 inches (0.5 ft) depth is 20×10×0.5 = 100 cu ft ÷ 27 ≈ 3.7 cubic yards. Use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or contact our team for help and to factor in compaction and waste.

Standard delivery is 2+ business days from order, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery timing also depends on supplier availability and site access; you can choose a preferred delivery date at checkout and we will confirm details before dispatch.

Local fill dirt in Roswell often reflects Georgia’s clayey soils and may be denser and more clay-rich than fill from other regions. Color, texture, and the amount of small rock or root fragments can vary by supplier; you can request screened or cleaner fill for a higher price when placing your order.

To save money, order larger quantities to reduce per-yard hauling costs, choose unscreened fill if suitable for your use, and source material locally to cut trucking distance. Compare quotes through Hello Gravel, and consider reusing on-site soil where possible to avoid delivery fees.

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.
