Fill Dirt in Shiloh, GA

Prices vary by supplier and local avaIlability, but in West Georgia fill dirt typically ranges from about $10 to $30 per ton (rough estimate). Costs depend on factors like haul distance, load size, moisture content, and whether the dirt is screened or contains organics. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers transparent pricing and delivery options—check your zip code for exact local quotes.

A common tri-axle dump truck used in our network usually carries roughly 10 to 15 tons of loose fill dirt, but exact capacity depends on truck type and local weight limits. Heavier, compacted dirt or wetter loads can change the weight, so ask your supplier or driver for the expected tonnage when ordering. Remember Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, so smaller jobs may still require that minimum.

Generally, yes: fill dirt is often cheaper per ton than processed gravel because it is usually unprocessed native soil rather than crushed stone. Prices can flip depending on local supply, truck distances, and whether the gravel is decorative or crushed stone used for structural purposes. For accurate cost comparisons for your project in Shiloh, request both fill dirt and gravel quotes through Hello Gravel.

Coverage depends on how thick you spread it. As a rule of thumb, one ton of typical fill dirt is roughly 0.8 to 1.0 cubic yards, which will cover about 130 sq ft at 2 inches depth, about 45 sq ft at 6 inches, and about 22 sq ft at 12 inches. These are estimates—actual coverage varies with moisture and compaction, so measure your project and allow a little extra for settling.

A truckload price depends on truck size and local per-ton rates; in West Georgia a single dump truck load (roughly 10 to 15 tons) can range from approximately $150 to $450 or more. Final price varies with distance, material quality, and any extra services like tailgate spreading. For an exact truckload price for Shiloh, request a quote through Hello Gravel with your address and desired delivery date.

Buy in bulk, schedule standard delivery, and use local suppliers to minimize haul distance; Hello Gravel lets you compare local quotes and offers transparent pricing and optional free delivery in many areas. Avoid unnecessary processing (screening or topsoil mixes) if you only need basic fill, and coordinate larger jobs to reduce per-ton hauling fees. Always check your access and weight limits so drivers can deliver on the first attempt.

Fill dirt is fine for raising grade or filling low spots but it is not a good long-term driveway surface because it can rut and retain moisture—especially in Georgia's clay-prone soils. For driveways, use fill dirt to build up and compact subgrade, then add a structural base of crushed stone or gravel and a surface layer appropriate to the traffic. Consider drainage and compaction; for best results hire or consult a contractor for base preparation.

Fill dirt can compact well if it is free of organic material and placed in controlled lifts with pRoper moisture, but 'select' or engineered fill is recommended for structural work. Native fill with roots or debris will settle unevenly and can cause problems for foundations or paved surfaces. If you need load-bearing fill, request engineered or compactable fill and consider a compaction test or professional installer.
