Why Candler Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Candler is a small but growing community with a city population: 545 and strong regional momentum—metro area population: 2.5+ million with a growth rate: 2.50% annually. The local climate (Hardiness Zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and 34.00 inches annual rainfall) supports year-round outdoor projects but also means homeowners must plan for both sun-driven drying and seasonal rains. As yards are graded, driveways expanded, and new landscaping beds built to accommodate growth, demand for reliable bulk materials rises. Homeowners and small contractors choose quality aggregates because properly selected fill dirt saves time, reduces settlement risk, and creates a stable base for turf, patios, and structures where poor native soils are common.Popular Projects in Candler This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Candler Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Candler.
Delivered fill dirt prices in West Florida typically range, depending on supplier and distance, from about $10 to $35 per cubic yard. Trucking, load size, screened vs. unscreened material, and access to a Candler residential site can push the price up or down, so get a local quote for an accurate number.
Fill dirt is low-organic soil used to raise grades, backfill foundations, and fill holes; it is not decorative topsoil. Suppliers in the area commonly offer loose/unscreened fill, screened (clean) fill, and construction-grade fill with varying amounts of rock and clay; screened fill costs more but has fewer roots and debris.
Yes, most suppliers and haulers working with Hello Gravel will deliver to residential addresses in Candler if truck access allows. Minimums commonly follow Hello Gravel's platform rule (3 tons minimum) and some suppliers add a rural delivery fee or minimum cubic yards for remote drives, so expect a possible extra fee for very small orders or tight access.
Use this quick formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in inches) / 324. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches equals about 12.35 cubic yards; we recommend ordering 10-20% extra to allow for compaction and settling. Hello Gravel's material calculator and sales team can run the numbers for your specific Candler project and provide a quote.
A single tri-axle truck in West Florida typically carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, so a truckload price usually falls within the per-yard rate multiplied by that volume plus a delivery charge. That commonly results in a delivered truckload cost ranging widely (for example, a few hundred dollars), so request a specific truckload quote for Candler to include local hauling and road access factors.
Screened or clean fill is often available in the region but not guaranteed everywhere because of local geology and supplier stock. Expect screened fill to cost more than unscreened construction fill — typically a moderate premium per cubic yard — and note you can add screening requests in Order Notes when you check out so suppliers can confirm availability and pricing.
Most bulk fill deliveries come as dump-only; drivers may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion but compaction is usually not included. If you need placement and compaction, arrange a local excavator or hire a contractor; Hello Gravel can help coordinate suppliers who sometimes partner with placement crews, but confirm services and fees up front.
Local permitting and drainage rules vary by county and municipality; Candler is a small community so rules may be managed at the county level. Before placing large fill orders or changing site grades, check with your county building or planning department about permits, buffer rules, setbacks, and stormwater/drainage requirements to avoid violations or required corrections.
Standard delivery through Hello Gravel is typically 2+ business days, but next-day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee applies). Rural or limited-access Candler addresses and supplier schedules or weather can add lead time, so pick your date during checkout and confirm with our team if you have a tight timeline.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, low branches, and obstacles, and mark any underground utilities or sprinkler systems. Give the driver clear instructions in Order Notes about the preferred drop spot, check whether tailgate spreading is requested, and confirm that access and turning radius are adequate for a tri-axle dump truck.
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.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
