Fill Dirt in shellmanbluff, GA

Delivered prices for fill dirt to Shellmanbluff vary by supplier, haul distance, and volume. We don’t publish a single rate because regional sourcing and trucking fees change, so the fastest way to get an accurate delivered price is to enter your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote; our platform will show current supplier prices and any delivery fees.

Fill dirt is typically used to raise or level ground and is less expensive than crushed gravel or topsoil, but it does not make a durable wearing surface. For a driveway you’ll usually want a compacted granular base (crushed gravel) over properly placed fill dirt to prevent settling and rutting in West Georgia’s soils and climate.

Use this formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches needs about 6.17 cu yd. Delivery cost depends on your zip code, supplier, and truck access—use Hello Gravel’s quote tool to get delivered pricing for the calculated volume.

A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly used by our haulers carries roughly 10–14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (weight varies with moisture and compaction). Truckload costs depend on material price plus haul fees; request a truckload quote in our checkout to see exact pricing for Shellmanbluff, since access, distance, and permit needs can affect the fee.

You can put gravel over existing soil, but for long-term performance you should first add and compact suitable fill dirt to level low spots, then install a compacted granular base or crushed stone before the wearing layer. Skipping proper base prep often leads to sinking and maintenance, so factor in compaction labor and possibly geotextile fabric for wet areas in West Georgia.

For very small jobs, pickup loads or buying by the yard from a local yard may be cheapest if you can haul and spread it yourself. Hello Gravel’s minimums and delivery model work best for orders of several yards or more, so compare local yard pricing, pickup availability, and our delivered quotes to decide which option saves you the most.

A quick rule: 1 cubic yard of fill dirt covers about 100 sq ft at a 3-inch depth or about 81 sq ft at 4 inches. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, which is roughly 8–9 wheelbarrows (wheelbarrows typically hold 3–4 cu ft). Weight varies, but 1 cu yd of fill dirt often weighs about 1.2–1.6 tons depending on moisture and composition.

For a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway with a 4-inch compacted base you’d need about 2.5 cu yd of material. Material, delivery, and compaction costs can range from a few hundred to several hundred dollars depending on supplier rates, haul distance, and whether you hire a contractor for compaction; get a detailed quote from Hello Gravel for the most accurate local estimate.

Yes, many local suppliers offer lower per‑yard pricing or reduced delivery fees on larger orders, with common breakpoints at roughly 10–20 cubic yards or full truckloads. Hello Gravel negotiates with local suppliers and will show volume pricing in the quote so you can compare per‑yard costs and any delivery discounts.

Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, but single‑truck next‑day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Same‑week or multi‑truck orders are often possible in West Georgia, but larger multi‑truck schedules may need more lead time and could carry additional haul or staging fees; contact our team or request delivery dates in checkout to confirm availability.

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.
