Fill Dirt in Metrocenter/North Rhodes Park, TN

Typical delivered prices in the Tennessee region generally run about $15 to $40 per cubic yard, or roughly $18 to $60 per ton depending on moisture and composition. Prices vary by supplier, delivery distance, and minimum order; use Hello Gravel to get an exact local quote for your Metrocenter address.

Suppliers in the Metrocenter area price fill-dirt either by the cubic yard or by the ton—both are common. Hello Gravel listings will show the unit used and any delivery minimums; note our platform minimum is 3 tons for most areas, and short deliveries or tight-access jobs can add a delivery fee.

A standard dump truck load for local haulers is usually 10 to 14 cubic yards, while tri-axle trucks can carry 12 to 16 cubic yards loose. Multiply the truck yardage by your per-yard price to estimate cost; for example, at $20/yd a 12-yard load would be about $240 plus any delivery fee.

For a 20 ft long driveway: at 8 ft wide and 4 in deep you need about 2.5 cubic yards; at 10 ft wide and 4 in deep you need about 3.1 cubic yards. Convert to weight roughly as 1.2 to 1.5 tons per cubic yard depending on moisture, so a 10x20 driveway at 4 in depth would be roughly 3.7 to 4.6 tons—confirm with your supplier and allow a 5-10% overage for settling.

Most full-size pickup beds hold roughly 0.5 to 1.0 cubic yard depending on bed depth and how high you load it, so a full cubic yard often will not fit safely. For convenience and to avoid overloading your truck, we recommend scheduling a delivery via Hello Gravel for Metrocenter addresses.

A 10x10 patio at 2 in depth needs about 0.6 cubic yards and at 4 in depth about 1.25 cubic yards. With local fill-dirt priced roughly $15 to $40 per cubic yard, material cost would be about $10 to $50, plus any delivery fee or minimum; order a bit extra for compaction and grading.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so the number of 50 lb bags depends on each bag's volume: if a 50 lb bag is 0.5 cu ft you would need about 54 bags, while a 0.75 cu ft bag would be about 36 bags. Hello Gravel primarily supplies bulk deliveries; bagged fill-dirt may be available from local retailers but is less common for larger projects.

Fill-dirt settles and compacts unevenly, which can cause rutting, poor drainage, and mud—making it a poor finished surface for driveways or patios. Gravel or crush-and-run provide a stable, well-draining base and are usually recommended by local suppliers for load-bearing or finished surfaces in Metrocenter.

Fill-dirt is often the cheapest per yard but is not suitable as a finished driveway surface because it compacts and retains water. Crush-and-run (crushed stone with fines) is usually the most cost-effective long-term choice for driveways in the Tennessee region because it compacts to a stable, well-draining base; suppliers may offer volume discounts for larger orders.

You can place fill-dirt on native soil, but for structural work you should compact in lifts and prepare a proper base to avoid future settlement. Hello Gravel drivers do not guarantee compaction; for compaction and base prep request a contractor or local service—ask us and we can connect you with pros in the Metrocenter/North Rhodes Park area.

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.
