Yes — generally fill dirt is less expensive than finished gravel because it is less processed. Fill dirt is used for bulk grading and backfill, while gravel has more processing and trucking costs, so if you only need mass fill or grade adjustments, fill dirt usually costs less per ton than gravel.

Using a typical conversion (about 0.8 cubic yards per ton), one ton of fill dirt will cover roughly 270 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 90 sq ft at 3 inches, or about 45 sq ft at 6 inches. These are approximate — local soil density and compaction affect coverage, so use Hello Gravel’s calculator for a project-specific estimate.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks for delivery, which usually carry about 12 to 16 tons of loose fill dirt depending on local axle limits and material compaction. Larger end-dump trucks can carry more, but availability depends on the supplier and local roads in Trenton.

Fill dirt is good for grading, raising low areas, and backfilling, but it is not a substitute for topsoil where plants or lawns will grow. In West Georgia, native soils can be clay heavy, so plan to cap fill dirt with 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or amended soil for planting and turf establishment.

Yes, fill dirt will settle over time, especially if placed in lifts without compaction. For driveways, pads, or major grade work, compacting in layers and ordering 5-10% extra to allow for settlement is standard practice; small yard fills may still settle and benefit from light compaction.
