Why San Antonio Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Antonio homeowners should know that this area has a population of 7,130 and is experiencing steady development, with a growth rate of 2.50% annually. The local climate—hardiness zone 8b, roughly 228 sunny days per year, and about 34.00 inches of annual rainfall—drives a lot of landscaping and site work that needs reliable base materials. As yards are regraded, foundations are backfilled, and low spots are raised for drainage, demand for quality fill dirt rises. Homeowners look for material that compacts predictably, resists washout in heavy rains, and provides a stable base for turf, patios, and structure backfill without surprises during long, sunny periods or seasonal storms.Popular Projects in San Antonio This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Antonio Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in San Antonio.
Delivered fill dirt in the West Florida area usually runs about $15 to $35 per cubic yard, depending on supplier, moisture content, and distance from the source. A typical tri-axle truckload (about 10–12 cubic yards) will therefore cost roughly $150 to $420 delivered. Prices vary with season and exact location, so check your zip code on Hello Gravel for local quotes and any minimum order requirements.
Use this quick rule: cubic yards = (length ft x width ft x depth ft) / 27. For a common single-car driveway 20 ft long x 10 ft wide you will need about 1.23 yd3 at 2", 1.85 yd3 at 3", and 2.47 yd3 at 4". In West Florida fill dirt typically weighs about 1.1–1.4 tons per cubic yard, so those volumes equal roughly 1.3–3.5 tons depending on exact density and moisture.
Many local suppliers will handle small loads but may charge a delivery fee or have minimums; Hello Gravel listings commonly have a 3-ton minimum. Pickup (customer load and haul) is often cheaper or free if you have a vehicle and labor, while delivery for small loads frequently includes a flat fee in addition to the material price. Always check the supplier listing for minimums, delivery fees, and whether the truck size will fit your access before ordering.
Yes—ordering in bulk usually lowers the per-yard price. Large orders (50+ yards) in West Florida commonly reduce the price to the low-teens or single digits per yard depending on material and distance, but exact discounts vary by supplier. Typical lead times are 1–2 weeks for bulk orders, though Hello Gravel can sometimes arrange faster delivery depending on local availability and season.
No. Fill dirt is used to raise or fill grade and compact; it is not a finished driving surface. For a driveway you should plan for a compacted base (fill dirt or structural fill) and then 3–4 inches of compacted crushed stone or gravel on top for a durable surface in West Florida's soils and rain conditions.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, and coverage in square feet depends on depth: 1 yd3 covers about 162 sq ft at 2", 108 sq ft at 3", and 81 sq ft at 4". If you use a regional average of about 1.25 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt in San Antonio, then 1 ton is roughly 0.8 yd3, covering about 130 sq ft at 2" (adjust up or down for moisture and compaction).
Hello Gravel connects you with local West Florida suppliers and haulers when you enter your zip code on our site, and many suppliers provide instant online quotes or fast phone estimates. If our site does not show immediate pricing, you can request a quote and our team will get local pricing and lead times for fill dirt deliveries to your address.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it has low organic content and is intended for structural use. Use fill dirt for raising grade, backfilling, and compaction under driveways or slabs; use screened topsoil or amended soil for planting beds and lawns where nutrients and organic matter are needed. For areas that will be planted, order topsoil or a blend rather than fill dirt.
Common local truck sizes in West Florida include tri-axle trucks (about 10–12 yd3), 6-wheel/6-to-10 yd3 trucks, and smaller single-axle trucks (4–6 yd3). A pickup truck bed can sometimes carry roughly 0.5–1.0 yd3 of loose fill dirt, but weight is the limiting factor—1 yd3 of fill dirt can weigh over 2,000–2,500 lbs and may exceed your truck's payload. We recommend checking your vehicle's payload rating or arranging a professional delivery to avoid unsafe overloading.
No—crushed stone and fill dirt are different. Fill dirt is fine, low-organic material used for raising and compacting ground, while crushed stone is angular rock used for structural bases and drainage. For driveways and long-term stability in West Florida, use compacted fill dirt as a grade raise if needed, then a crushed stone or aggregate base with a crushed stone or pea gravel wearing surface for drainage and durability.
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.
