Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than decorative gravel or crushed stone in West Georgia because it is less processed and often locally avaIlable. The exact difference depends on material type and delivery distance, but expect savings per ton when choosing fill dirt for structural or backfill uses. If you need a finished surface, factor in the cost of a gravel or top layer.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 12 to 15 cubic yards, which for fill dirt translates to roughly 14 to 18 tons depending on moisture and soil composition. Smaller or larger trucks are avaIlable from some suppliers, so confirm truck size when ordering. Remember our minimum order is 3 tons.

A delivered tri-axle load (about 14-18 tons) of fill dirt in the Tiger area will typically cost anywhere from $150 to $500 for material and local delivery, depending on per-ton pricing, hauling distance, and site conditions. Difficult access, tight spaces, or special placement requests can increase the fee. For a firm total, request a quote through Hello Gravel with your delivery address.

One cubic yard of fill dirt is a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft pile and typically weighs around 1.1 to 1.3 tons depending on moisture and composition. Visually, it looks like compacted earth without much organic material or roots — denser and more clay-like than topsoil. Use this when planning deliveries or estimating truckloads.

A standard pickup bed can often hold about 1 to 2 cubic yards of fill dirt by volume, but the weight may exceed your truck's payload limit. Because fill dirt is heavy, check your truck's payload rating before hauling to avoid damage or unsafe loading. For most homeowners in Tiger, hiring a delivered load from Hello Gravel is safer and more convenient.

Coverage depends on depth. One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8 to 0.9 cubic yards, so it will cover about 270 sq ft at 1-inch depth, about 90 sq ft at 3-inch depth, and about 45 sq ft at 6-inch depth. These are estimates; for precise needs measure the area and desired depth or use Hello Gravel's material calculator.

Yes, fill dirt is suitable for raising low areas and structural filling, but it has little organic matter so it is not ideal as a final planting surface. For lawns or gardens, place fill dirt where needed to build grade and then finish with several inches of topsoil for planting. Compact fill dirt in lifts to reduce future settling before adding topsoil.

Yes, compacting fill dirt in 4- to 6-inch lifts with a mechanical compactor is important to minimize future settling and create a stable base. Compaction is especially important when you plan to put gravel, pavement, or structures on top. If you are unsure, consult a local contractor in Tiger or ask our team for guidance.

You can place gravel over fill dirt, but the fill should be well-compacted and graded first to prevent uneven settling and wAshouts. If the fill dirt is loose, add a compacted crushed-stone base layer before the gravel for better drainage and stability. Ask for tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to help, but note the driver will decide if it is safe to do so.

The amount depends on desired depth. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 1-inch depth requires about 3.1 cubic yards (roughly 3.7 tons), while 3 inches requires about 9.3 cubic yards (about 11.2 tons). Use these estimates with local per-ton prices to budget, or use Hello Gravel's calculator for a precise quantity and price.

Cost depends on driveway width, depth of fill, and access. For a 20-ft long by 10-ft wide driveway needing 3 inches of fill, expect roughly 5.2 cubic yards (about 6.2 tons) of fill dirt; at $8 to $18 per ton, material cost would be roughly $50 to $110 plus delivery. For an accurate quote including delivery and any spreading, enter your address at Hello Gravel or contact our sales team.
