Fill Dirt in Toccoa, GA

Prices for fill dirt in Toccoa fluctuate based on delivery distance, load size, access, and whether the material is screened or contains organics. Because rates change by supplier and season, the fastest way to get an accurate price is to request a quote through Hello Gravel; we show local supplier rates and delivery fees for your zip code.

Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and contracted haulers that deliver to Toccoa and West Georgia; you can see available providers and get a quote on our site. For spreading, many local landscaping and grading contractors offer tailgate or machine spreading — request spreading at checkout and confirm with the driver or hire a local landscaper for full finish grading.

Measure the area in square feet and multiply by the desired depth in feet to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards (cubic yards = area * depth / 27). To estimate tons, multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 (varies with moisture and compaction) and add 5-10% for settlement and waste; for example, a 10 by 10 foot raised bed at 6 inches deep needs about 1.85 cubic yards, or roughly 2.5 tons with a safety margin.

For best results in Toccoa, place fill dirt in 4 to 6 inch lifts (loose thickness) and compact each lift with a plate compactor or roller; this helps limit future settlement. Contractors typically aim for roughly 85-95% relative compaction depending on the project; homeowners doing small jobs should compact in thinner lifts and expect more settlement than professional compaction.

Toccoa experiences occasional freezes and heavy rainfall in spring and summer, so loose fill dirt can erode or settle if not compacted and drained properly. Protect fresh fills with proper grading, temporary erosion controls (straw, seed, silt fence), and finished landscaping to reduce washouts during heavy storms.

Permitting and setback requirements vary by project size and location; large fills, work in flood zones, or grading that changes lot drainage may require a permit from the City of Toccoa or Stephens County. Before ordering large volumes, check with local planning or building departments and review any neighborhood covenants; Hello Gravel can help you find local contacts if needed.

Fill dirt is suitable as subgrade or to raise grade but it is not a recommended wearing surface for driveways because it can rut and erode when exposed to traffic and rain. For durable driveways in Toccoa, use fill dirt only to build the subgrade, then install a well-compacted base such as crusher run or crushed stone topped with a proper surface material.

Most settlement happens in the first several months to a year after placement, especially if fills were not compacted in lifts. Plan to monitor grades, recompact or add additional material where low spots form, and cover with topsoil and vegetation to stabilize slopes and reduce erosion.

Slope your finished grade to move water away from structures, install temporary erosion controls like straw, seed, or silt fence on exposed areas, and establish vegetation as soon as practical. For concentrated flows or steep slopes common in some West Georgia lots, consider rock check dams, riprap, or professional drainage solutions to prevent washouts.

Hello Gravel coordinates delivery with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers; standard delivery takes 2 or more business days and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee may apply). Tailgate spreading can sometimes be provided at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout—but for guaranteed spreading or finish grading we recommend hiring a local landscaper or contractor.

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.
