Fill Dirt in Waynesboro, GA

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches you need about 500 cubic feet, which is roughly 18.5 cubic yards. Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so that equals about 22 to 24 tons of material. We recommend ordering an extra 5–10% to allow for settling and compaction, so plan to order around 24–27 tons.

Fill dirt is a good choice for raising low spots and establishing proper grade because it provides structural material that compacts well. However, in Waynesboro’s wet climate you also need proper slope and drainage; simply adding fill without redirecting water can leave new low spots or saturated zones. For persistent standing water consider a coarser drainage layer, a French drain, or installing swales in addition to fill dirt.

Properly placed and compacted fill dirt can perform well in West Georgia, but local soils here can be clayey and hold moisture, which affects performance. Using well-draining fill, grading for runoff, and avoiding organic topsoil as structural fill will improve longevity. If you expect wet areas, mix in coarser material or add drainage features to reduce long-term settlement and saturation.

Neither screened nor crushed fill dirt is recommended as the finished driveway surface. Screened fill dirt (fewer large rocks) is useful for grading and backfill, while crushed stone or aggregate base is the correct material for a driveway subbase and surface. If you plan a driveway, use fill dirt only to bring the grade to level, then install a compacted crushed-stone base and a wear surface such as gravel or pavement.

As a surface material in high-traffic areas, fill dirt will break down quickly and is not recommended; it may need attention within months. When used as a compacted subgrade under proper surfacing (gravel, asphalt, or concrete), fill dirt can last many years or decades if drainage and compaction are correct. Longevity depends on traffic, moisture, and whether the fill was compacted to spec, so protect structural fill with a suitable surface layer.

Yes — local contractors routinely compact fill dirt for building pads, foundations, and driveway subgrades to meet load and settlement requirements. Costs vary by pad size, equipment, and mobilization, but expect machine or contractor rates commonly in the $60–$150 per hour range; small jobs may run a few hundred dollars while larger pads cost more. Get several local contractor quotes and make sure compaction requirements are specified for your permit or project.

Use fill dirt for structural grading and backfill around foundations because it compacts well and minimizes future settlement. Topsoil is intended for planting and should be used only on the surface where you will grow grass or gardens because it contains organic matter that compresses over time. For foundation work, bring the grade up with fill dirt and then add a shallow layer of topsoil where vegetation is desired.
