Local dump trucks used by our suppliers are usually tri-axle units that carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose volume of fill-dirt (roughly 12 to 16 tons, depending on moisture and soil density). Smaller trucks or trailers hold less, and weight limits can vary, so confirm the truck size when ordering. Hello Gravel lists truck type and typical volumes at checkout for most deliveries.

Fill-dirt is heavier, subsoil material used to raise grade or fill holes; it typically contains less organic matter than topsoil and does not support planting on its own. Topsoil is screened and enriched for lawns and gardens. Use fill-dirt to shape grades and then cap with several inches of topsoil for planting in Angus Valley’s sandy-clay soils.

Yes, fill-dirt is commonly used to level low spots and regrade yards in Angus Valley, but plan to compact it in layers to prevent future settling. For final landscaping, add at least 4 to 6 inches of screened topsoil on top of compacted fill for lawns or planting. If you are working near property lines, drains, or flood-prone areas, check local regulations before raising grade.

It depends on the depth you need. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches of fill requires about 6.2 cubic yards, at 4 inches about 12.3 cubic yards, and at 6 inches about 18.5 cubic yards. Always add 5-10% extra for compaction and uneven ground when ordering.

Generally yes—fill-dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel because it is less processed and often sourced locally. However, costs vary with availability and delivery; gravel may cost more but provides better drainage and load-bearing properties. Choose fill-dirt for bulk grading and gravel when surface drainage and driveability are required.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. Spread thinly, one cubic yard covers about 9 sq ft at 4 inches depth. Weight varies with moisture and composition, but in the Florida region fill-dirt commonly weighs about 2,000 to 2,700 lb per cubic yard (roughly 1 to 1.35 tons). Use local estimates for exact planning.

Most pickup trucks can carry between about 0.5 and 1.0 cubic yard of loose soil safely, though some heavy-duty models may handle more if payload limits are respected. Always check your vehicle’s payload capacity before loading; exceeding it can damage the truck and be unsafe.
