Why Miami Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Miami Beach homeowners confront a busy coastal market and steady population-driven demand: the city population is 130,282 within a metro area of 2.5+ million, and growth sits at about 0.40% annually. The subtropical, low-elevation geography and development pressure for coastal properties means frequent yard regrading, foundation backfill, and landscape upgrades. Sunny days and outdoor living encourage patios, berms, and planted terraces that all start with correct subgrade material. Because local soils tend to be sandy and organic near the surface, homeowners look for clean, compactable fill dirt—free of roots and debris—that provides a stable base for pavers, lawns, and retaining walls. Choosing the right fill dirt reduces future settling, improves drainage, and helps projects meet local building and drainage needs. Contractors and DIYers alike value materials that compact well, match local geotechnical expectations, and arrive on schedule to avoid weather-related delays.Popular Projects in Miami Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Miami Beach Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Miami Beach.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and material quality, but expect a rough range of $25 to $65 per cubic yard delivered in the Miami Beach area. Coastal hauling, tight access, or short-notice delivery can push costs higher; Hello Gravel shows exact pricing during checkout based on local suppliers and delivery options.
Fill dirt is subsoil with little organic material used to raise grades, build berms, or fill holes and trenches—it is not topsoil for planting. In Miami Beach, contractors use fill dirt to adjust elevations, backfill foundations, and create base grade before adding engineered fill or pavement, keeping in mind the high water table and local flood elevation requirements.
A typical tri-axle dump truck delivers about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, depending on local truck sizes and material compaction. One cubic yard covers about 162 sq ft at 2 inches depth or about 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth, so a 12-cubic-yard load covers roughly 1,944 sq ft at 2 inches or 972 sq ft at 4 inches.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel, but it is not a substitute for a structural driveway base because it compacts differently and drains poorly. For driveways and base work in Miami-Dade County, crushed stone or aggregate base is commonly recommended despite higher material cost because it provides better drainage and load-bearing performance.
Fill dirt raises elevation and fills voids but typically has lower drainage capacity and variable compaction characteristics compared with gravel. Gravel or aggregate base provides better permeability and a stable load-bearing layer, so in Miami Beach's flood-prone, high-water-table environment, gravel is often used where drainage and structural support are priorities.
For raising grades or leveling, contractors commonly place fill dirt in lifts of 4 to 8 inches and compact each lift; total depth depends on your target elevation and local permits. Because Miami Beach has a high water table, larger fills may require engineered plans, compaction testing, and coordination with the building department to meet flood-elevation or drainage rules.
Stabilized aggregate bases (cement-treated or asphalt-stabilized) can replace concrete for some pavement or slab-on-grade applications, but they must be designed to meet load and durability requirements. Some Miami-Dade suppliers offer stabilized materials or aggregate base courses, but you should confirm availability and specs with the supplier and an engineer before substituting for concrete.
For larger volumes, dump-truck delivery (tri-axle) is usually the most cost-effective option since it minimizes handling costs and time. For small amounts, a bulk bag or local yard pickup can be cheaper, but many suppliers and Hello Gravel have minimums (Hello Gravel minimum order is 3 tons) and delivery fees depend on access and distance.
Weight varies by soil type, but a tri-axle load of loose fill dirt typically contains 10 to 14 cubic yards; weight can range considerably depending on moisture and sand content. Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons; the checkout shows exact truck sizing and weight estimates based on the supplier and your zip code.
Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. You can request spreading at checkout, and the driver will assess safety and feasibility on arrival; for precise grading or compaction, plan to hire a local contractor.
Yes—Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County have regulations related to raising grades, flood elevation, stormwater management, and tree protection that can affect fill placement. Before large fills or grade changes, check with the Miami Beach Building Department or your engineer to confirm permit requirements and elevation standards.
Provide the delivery address, desired finished elevation or purpose (e.g., backfill, yard raise, beneath slab), and any site access constraints or HOA requirements. Mention proximity to seawalls or flood zones so suppliers can recommend clean structural fill versus general fill and quote appropriate delivery and handling.
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.
