Fill Dirt in saintsimonsisland, GA

Delivered fill dirt prices in Saint Simons Island commonly range from about $15 to $40 per cubic yard depending on quality, screening, and distance from mainland suppliers. Orders on islands can be pricier because of trucking logistics and ferry or causeway access; Hello Gravel will show delivered pricing in checkout for your zip code and minimum order is 3 tons.

Hello Gravel works with a network of local suppliers and haulers that serve Glynn County and Saint Simons Island; availability depends on your zip code.

For coastal lots with a high water table, a clean, well-graded fill dirt with good drainage and low organic content is usually best; mixes with excessive clay trap water and cause settlement. Contractors often use a sandy loam or granular fill with a blend of sand and natural soil, and they may add a drainage layer (coarse sand or rock) beneath critical areas to help groundwater move away from foundations.

Yes, significant import of fill dirt near shorelines, wetlands, or below mean high water may require permits from Glynn County, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Coastal Resources Division, and potentially the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Check with the Glynn County building and planning office before ordering fill for shoreline, dune, or wetland work; Hello Gravel can help point you to local contacts but cannot provide permits.

Contractors on the island typically place fill in 4- to 6-inch lifts, compact each lift with a plate compactor or vibratory roller, and check grade regularly to avoid future settlement. For driveways they often finish with a compactable base layer and then a gravel surface; when groundwater is high they add geotextile fabric and drainage features to stabilize the fill.

Common issues include erosion from storms, salt spray causing vegetation stress, and flood washout during high tides or hurricanes. Mitigate risks by using erosion control (silt fence, straw waddles, or erosion mat), establishing salt-tolerant vegetation, installing proper drainage, and avoiding placing fill in areas subject to regular tidal inundation without permits.

Measure the area (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. As a rule of thumb, use a density of about 1.2 tons per cubic yard for typical fill dirt to estimate tons needed, and order 5-10% extra to allow for compaction and grading; contact Hello Gravel with your dimensions and we can verify the quantities for you.

Screened or clean fill is usually recommended for yards, under slabs, and near septic drainfields because it has fewer organic materials and better compaction properties; unwashed fill may contain debris and organics that cause settlement and poor drainage. For septic or drainage areas always follow local health department rules—Glynn County may require specific soils or sand layers—so confirm with your inspector and Hello Gravel before ordering.

Deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (typically tri-axle) and may require additional logistics on island routes; tell us your full address, any weight or access restrictions, preferred delivery date, and whether you need tailgate spreading (driver discretion). Because island jobs can have limited maneuvering space, note driveway width, overhead obstructions, and a safe place for the truck to dump; our scheduling team will coordinate with the hauler and confirm any added fees.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
