For raising yard grade or filling low spots, fill-dirt is generally more cost-effective because it is designed for compaction and bulk volume. For driveways, gravel (a crushed stone or aggregate base) is a better surface material; many projects use fill-dirt to build up grade then a gravel base for the driveway surface.

Use fill-dirt when you need to build bulk volume and achieve a compactable subgrade for lawns or foundations. For driveways, order structural gravel or a crushed stone base as the surface; gravel alone is fine for driveways but is not a substitute for clean, compacted fill beneath landscaping or sod.

Calculate cubic yards with area x depth / 27: 1,000 sq ft x 0.5 ft / 27 = about 18.5 cubic yards, which is roughly 22 to 23 tons using ~1.2 tons per cubic yard. We can deliver to the nearest truck load, but because dump trucks carry fixed volumes, order a little extra (5-10%) to allow for settlement and spreading; you can request a close exact amount but expect minor over- or under-delivery due to truck capacities.

Fill-dirt is normally delivered loose in the truck bed; compaction is not included as standard. Some suppliers or local contractors can provide compaction services or equipment for an additional charge, so ask when you request a quote if you need compaction or contractor referrals.

Hello Gravel sources regional options including screened/clean fill, structural (engineered) fill, and fill blended with topsoil depending on local supply. Availability varies by supplier in the Tennessee region, so select your preferred type at checkout or note it in your order and our team will confirm what is available for your delivery.

Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Deliveries are usually by tri-axle dump truck (often 16 to 20 cubic yards), so ensure adequate turning room, gate and overhead clearance, and firm ground; drivers will assess the drop location on arrival and may refuse unsafe access.

Some suppliers offer spoil removal and site cleanup for an additional fee, but removal is quoted separately based on volume and haul distance. Contact our team with details and photos so we can include removal in your estimate; do this before scheduling delivery to avoid on-site surprises.

County roads, HOA rules, or neighborhood covenants in and around Buckingham Farms may restrict heavy truck access, parking, or placement of material, and some public roads have weight limits that affect routing. Check with your HOA and local county public works before ordering, and tell us about neighborhood restrictions so we can coordinate the appropriate truck routing and permits if needed.

For new lawn areas, aim for 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil over firm, well-drained fill; if you are rebuilding grade, compact fill in 4 to 6 inch lifts for the best results. Suppliers can advise on the right fill type and supply topsoil blends or structural fill, but installation and final compaction are typically done by your contractor or landscaper—ask us for local referrals if you need help with installation.
