Fill Dirt in George Town, KY

Delivered fill-dirt prices in West Kentucky typically vary by distance, order size, truck access and moisture; expect a delivered range roughly between $10 and $35 per ton as a starting point. Hello Gravel shows final pricing up front—remember our minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery takes 2+ business days; exact cost will be confirmed at checkout based on local supplier and truck routing.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers around George Town; many contractor-grade suppliers will deliver on tri-axle dump trucks and have delivery minimums that start around our 3-ton minimum for residential orders. For large contractor loads suppliers may offer full-truck pricing (roughly 10 to 15 cubic yards per tri-axle) and options include standard 2+ business day delivery or next-day if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee—check the supplier details in your quote.

Local clay soils in the George Town area retain moisture and are prone to seasonal swelling and shrinkage; that increases risk of settlement and frost heave if fill is not placed and compacted correctly. To improve performance, use controlled lifts, proper drainage, and compaction to specified density; for building pads or critical grades, have a geotechnical or civil recommendation because mitigation (drainage, geotextile, or granular cap) is often needed in this region.

Fill-dirt alone is usually not a finished driveway surface—plan for a structural base over compacted fill. As a rule, place fill in 6 to 8 inch lifts and compact each lift to 90–95% of standard Proctor (or to the level recommended by a geotech). For residential driveways expect to have 6–8 inches of compacted engineered fill plus a 4–6 inch compacted granular base (crusher-run) before paving; consult an engineer for building pads and loaded structures.

A quick rule: 1 cubic yard of typical fill-dirt in our area is about 1.2 tons. Use this formula: Tons = area(ft2) * depth(in) * 0.0037. Example for 1,000 sq ft: 3" ≈ 11 tons, 6" ≈ 22 tons, 12" ≈ 44 tons—order a little extra (5–10%) to allow for compaction and settling.

Supply is generally available year-round, but wet winter and early-spring conditions can limit quarry operations and on-site deliveries in the George Town area. Prices commonly rise in spring and summer with higher demand and fall or stabilize in late fall; expect seasonal swings and occasional fuel-related spikes, so scheduling ahead helps lock in pricing and preferred delivery dates.

Fill-dirt is intended for bulk grading and raising grade but is not a structural surface; crusher-run is a compactable, angular aggregate better suited as a driveway base or load-bearing layer. River rock is good for drainage but not for compaction or structural support; topsoil is for planting and should not be used as structural fill. For driveways use compacted fill plus a granular base; for septic backfill follow local codes—granular materials are often required around drain fields for drainage and inspection access.

Permit requirements vary by municipality and lot size—many localities in Hardin County require grading permits, erosion and sediment control plans, or permits for large fills near waterways. Before ordering large truckloads, check with George Town or Hardin County planning and public works and with your HOA if applicable; Hello Gravel can help connect you with local suppliers but we recommend confirming permits and inspection requirements before delivery.

Clearly mark the desired drop location, check and clear access for a tri-axle dump truck, and note overhead wires or tight turns in your Order Notes. Request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want it (drivers perform this at their discretion), schedule delivery 2+ business days ahead for standard service or choose next-day before noon CST when available, and contact our team if you need help estimating quantities or coordinating permits.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. 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.
