Fill Dirt in staugustinebeach, FL

Prices vary by supplier, moisture content, and delivery distance, but in the St Augustine Beach area expect roughly $10 to $35 per cubic yard. Coastal hauling and local material availability can push prices to the higher end, especially for small orders. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and offers transparent quotes and delivery options for your zip code.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of fill dirt. At 2 inches of depth that covers approximately 1,620 to 1,944 square feet; at 4 inches it covers about 810 to 972 square feet. Exact capacity and coverage vary by truck type and how compacted the material is.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is not screened or enriched with organic matter. Topsoil costs more due to screening and nutrient content that supports plant growth. For lawn or garden work in St Augustine Beach, you may use fill dirt for raising grades but add topsoil on top for planting.

One cubic yard is a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube (27 cubic feet). In practical terms, it looks like a pile about 6 ft long, 6 ft wide, and 1.5 ft high when loosely stacked. That visual helps when planning delivery placement on a sandy coastal lot in St Augustine Beach.

Coverage depends on depth: one cubic yard (27 cu ft) will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Use those numbers to estimate how many yards you need for grading or raising areas on a St Augustine Beach property. Remember to allow extra for compaction and settling.

No. Fill dirt is lower in organic matter and used to build up grades or fill holes, while topsoil is richer, screened, and intended to support plant growth. In coastal Florida you’ll often use fill dirt for structural grade work and then place topsoil on top where you expect grass or plants to grow.

Yes, bulk delivery is typically much cheaper per cubic yard than buying bagged material, especially for larger projects. Bagged dirt can be convenient for very small jobs, but for driveways, yard leveling, or large fills in St Augustine Beach, bulk delivery by dump truck is more cost-effective. Keep Hello Gravel's minimum order and delivery options in mind when comparing prices.

Most standard full-size pickups hold about 0.5 to 1 cubic yard of loose material; long-bed or heavy-duty pickups might fit up to about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards depending on load limits. For safety, weight limits and bed size matter, so many homeowners in St Augustine Beach prefer delivery by dump truck instead of hauling in a pickup. Hello Gravel can arrange truck delivery to your site.

A typical wheelbarrow holds about 2 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is roughly 13 to 14 wheelbarrow loads. That gives you a sense of labor involved if you plan to move material by hand on a coastal property with sandy soil. For larger jobs, delivery close to the work area saves time and effort.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used for rough grading and raising low spots, but it is not ideal as a final planting surface. In St Augustine Beach you should consider local drainage, high water table, and salt spray; after grading with fill dirt add several inches of topsoil where you want to grow grass or plants. Also compact fill in layers and check local rules if you are changing drainage or elevations.

For small deliveries in the St Augustine Beach area, expect per-yard costs toward the upper part of local ranges due to hauling and minimum-order charges; a practical range is approximately $15 to $35 per cubic yard. Final price depends on supplier, moisture, and how close the delivery site is to the supplier. For exact pricing, use Hello Gravel’s online quote tool or contact our team.

A rough rule: one cubic yard is about 27 cubic feet, and a 50 lb bag of soil typically contains around 0.5 cubic feet, so you would need roughly 50 to 55 bags to equal a cubic yard. The exact number varies by product packaging and material density, so check bag volume if you plan to compare bulk vs bagged costs. For most St Augustine Beach jobs, bulk delivery is more practical for anything larger than a few bags.

A 40 lb bag contains a small fraction of a cubic yard and typically covers only a few square feet at a shallow depth; for example, a 40 lb bag might cover roughly 4 to 6 sq ft at a 1-inch depth depending on bag volume. Using bags for large yard grading in St Augustine Beach quickly becomes expensive and time-consuming. For projects beyond a small patch repair, bulk fill delivery is more efficient.

No, 2 inches of topsoil is generally not enough for a healthy lawn. Most turf in Florida needs 4 to 6 inches of good topsoil to establish roots and retain moisture; over compacted fill dirt you may need more preparation and amendment. In St Augustine Beach, add topsoil and proper grading, and consider irrigation and salt-tolerant grass varieties for best results.
