Fill Dirt in Atlantic Beach, FL

A typical tri-axle dump truck holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. In Atlantic Beach, delivered prices commonly range from about $150 to $450 per truckload, depending on local supplier rates, moisture content, and how far the haul is. For an exact delivered price and available delivery dates, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or contact our team.

Some local suppliers will sell 1 cubic yard (or small loads) and may deliver, but availability varies by supplier. Typical small-load pricing in the West Florida area can be roughly $50 to $150 plus any delivery fee, though Hello Gravel's standard online minimum is 3 tons—smaller pickup options depend on the supplier and your zip code. If you need a pickup-sized load, ask for small-load availability in checkout or call our team to confirm options.

Use this rule: cubic yards = (square feet * depth in inches) / 324. For 1,000 sq ft that equals about 3.1 cu yd at 1 inch, 12.3 cu yd at 4 inches, and 18.5 cu yd at 6 inches. Choose the depth based on project type: 2–4 inches for minor yard leveling, and 4–6 inches or more for structural fill under hardscapes (with compaction).

Ten cubic yards of fill dirt in Atlantic Beach will generally cost in the ballpark of $150 to $400 delivered, depending on supplier pricing and delivery distance. Exact cost depends on local availability, whether the material is clean structural fill or mixed soil, and any delivery access issues at your home.

Large orders like 100 cubic yards usually get better per-cubic-yard pricing, so expect a wide range—roughly $800 to $3,000 total—depending on supplier discounts, supplier location, and trucking logistics. Large volumes often require multiple truckloads and may incur additional offloading or staging charges at the site. Contact Hello Gravel with your project details so we can coordinate bulk pricing and delivery scheduling.

First, determine the driveway length and desired base depth. As an example, a 20 ft by 100 ft driveway (2,000 sq ft) at a 4 inch depth needs about 24.7 cu yd of material, which would cost roughly $370 to $990 for fill dirt delivered in Atlantic Beach. Note: fill dirt is not a recommended structural base for driveways in coastal Florida—crushed stone or compacted aggregate is a better choice for load-bearing and drainage, so factor in the cost difference and consider using fill dirt only for leveling before installing a proper base.

Per cubic yard, fill dirt is usually cheaper than crushed stone or gravel, so it can be a cost-effective option for raising or leveling soil. However, for driveways and load-bearing surfaces in Atlantic Beach's sandy, coastal environment, gravel or crushed stone is the better long-term choice because it compacts and drains properly. Order fill dirt for grading and low-cost raising; order crushed stone or a combination (fill dirt topped with compacted base stone) for driveways and vehicular surfaces.

No, 2 inches of gravel over fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway. For a durable residential driveway in West Florida you should plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone base (sometimes more for heavier loads), with a top course of 1 to 2 inches of finer material if desired. Also make sure the subgrade (fill dirt) is well compacted and stable—sandy coastal soils in Atlantic Beach can settle, so proper compaction and drainage are important.

Yes, they are different: crushed stone is mechanically crushed rock with angular edges that compacts well, while gravel is naturally rounded rock that may not interlock as tightly. For driveway bases and areas that need strong compaction in Atlantic Beach, order crushed stone (often called road base or #57 stone). Use gravel or decorative stone only as a top layer or for landscaping where compaction and structural strength are not critical.

A standard full-size pickup bed usually holds about 1/2 to 1 cubic yard safely, depending on the truck and how full you load it; weight limits may also limit how much you can carry. Many suppliers prefer to deliver by dump truck; Hello Gravel's platform lists delivery as the primary option and has a minimum order policy (3 tons online), though some local suppliers may offer small pickup loads.
