Both screened and unscreened fill dirt are available in West Georgia, but availability depends on the local quarry or soil supplier. Hello Gravel usually lists screened material for tighter jobs and unscreened for bulk fills; minimum orders are commonly 3 tons for truckloads through our platform, while some quarries may require larger minimums (10+ tons) for direct quarry deliveries.

Using local conversion estimates (1 acre = 43,560 sq ft and ~1.3 tons per cubic yard for typical Georgia fill dirt): raising 1 acre by 2 inches needs about 269 cubic yards or ~350 tons; raising 1 acre by 6 inches needs about 807 cubic yards or ~1,050 tons; raising 1 acre by 1 foot needs about 1,614 cubic yards or ~2,100 tons. These are rough estimates—final tonnage depends on moisture, compaction, and whether the material is screened or mixed with heavier clay.

Yes—heavy deliveries can be affected by seasonal conditions and local rules. Wet weather and saturated driveways/lawns increase the risk of truck bogging and may delay deliveries; residential street weight limits, neighborhood construction rules, or special hauling permits from Sugar Hill or Gwinnett County may apply for large loads, so we recommend contacting Hello Gravel and checking local authorities before scheduling large drops.

North Georgia clay tends to retain water, shrink and swell, and can cause poor drainage if used as the final surface. For driveways and structural fills in Sugar Hill, use fill dirt only as buried subgrade or blended with rock/road base, provide positive drainage, and consider geotextile fabrics and drainage pipes to reduce wetting and movement from heavy rainfall.

Contractor specs usually call for compaction expressed as percent of maximum dry density (Standard Proctor)—commonly 90% for landscape fills and 95% for structural subgrades under pavements. Small areas can be compacted with a plate compactor or jumping jack; larger sites need a vibratory roller or sheepsfoot roller and moisture control, so hire a local contractor for engineered compaction testing when the work supports structures or pavement.

Screened fill dirt is fine for raising grades, backfilling, and filling low spots but is not a good wearing surface or structural base. Crusher run or road base compacts stronger, sheds water better, and is recommended as a base layer for driveways and patios; screened fill dirt is typically cheaper per ton, but using it as the surface will increase maintenance and shorten lifespan compared with a proper crushed-stone base.

A driveway with fill dirt as the surface will require frequent grading, regrading, and material topping—often yearly to every few years—because fill dirt compacts poorly and holds water. If you build a proper crushed-stone base and top with gravel, expect low-to-moderate maintenance and a lifespan of several years to a decade before major renovation; exact timing depends on use, drainage, and winter/rain cycles.

Restrictions vary by project, neighborhood, and HOA. Sugar Hill and Gwinnett County may require permits for grading, stormwater control, and retaining walls above certain heights, and HOAs often have surface and landscaping rules, so check city permits and your HOA guidelines before ordering large quantities or changing grade lines.

Hello Gravel commonly delivers fill dirt with tri-axle dump trucks; our minimum order is 3 tons. Expect trucks that need about 12 to 14 feet of vertical clearance, a 40-foot turning radius, and stable ground to avoid bogging; narrow streets, low-hanging power lines, gates, and weight-restricted local roads can add fees or require smaller trucks and permits. Upload site photos at checkout or call our team so we can confirm truck access and any extra charges before delivery.

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.
