You can use fill dirt for raising grade or backfilling because it compacts well and is inexpensive, but it does not provide the drainage or structural base that gravel offers. For foundations, driveways, or areas needing good drainage or load support, gravel or crushed stone is a better choice; use fill dirt where compaction and price are the priority.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. It will cover about 81 square feet at 4 inches deep, 54 square feet at 6 inches deep, or 324 square feet at 1 inch deep. Convert depth and area for your project and add 5% to 15% for settlement and compaction when ordering.

A single cubic yard is larger than most pickup beds; many full-size trucks carry about 1/2 to 1 cubic yard safely depending on bed size and axle rating. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons and our deliveries are made by dump truck, so for smaller amounts we recommend buying bagged materials locally or contacting customer service to check for any supplier options in your zip code.

No, fill dirt will not harden like concrete; it compacts but remains soil and will rut or wash under heavy traffic. If you need a hard, compacted surface for a driveway, ask for crushed stone, crusher-run, or limestone screenings, which Hello Gravel can often source in the Neuse Forest area as a driveway base material.

One cubic yard of fill-type soil usually weighs about 2,200 to 2,700 pounds, which is roughly 44 to 54 50-lb bags by weight. Bulk delivery is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than buying the same amount in bags, especially for projects needing multiple yards.
