Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than gravel because it is less processed and often locally sourced soil. However, gravel performs better for drainage and driveways, so choose fill dirt when you need bulk volume for grading or backfill and choose gravel when you need stable, draining material.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks which carry roughly 12 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. That amount will cover about 1,200 to 1,300 square feet at a 3-inch depth, about 650 square feet at 6 inches, and roughly 3,800 to 4,000 square feet at 1 inch; actual coverage varies with compaction and moisture.

Measure the length, width, and depth of the area in feet, multiply them to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards (length x width x depth / 27). Add 10 to 20 percent for compaction and settling, and reach out to Hello Gravel if you want us to check your numbers or use our online material calculator.

You can use fill dirt to raise grades or fill low spots, but it is not ideal as a top layer for sod or planting because it usually has low organic matter and poor structure. After placing fill dirt, finish with several inches of good topsoil or compost to support grass and garden plants, especially given Florida's sandy soils and high rainfall.

Yes, fill dirt will settle and compact over time, especially in heavy rain or if not placed in controlled lifts and compacted. For structural fills, use staged placement and proper compaction; for landscaping, plan for some settlement and top off with additional material after a rain season.

Confirm delivery access for a tri-axle dump truck, locate and mark underground utilities, and check Jacksonville/Duval County requirements if you are changing grades or doing large fills. Also consider drainage, erosion control, where the truck can dump, and request tailgate spreading at checkout if you want the driver to consider it.

Because materials are regionally sourced, color and texture can vary and occasional small debris can occur; if you receive material that seems out of spec, contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly with photos. We will work with our local supplier and follow our issue-resolution process; see our refund policy for details.

Standard delivery is two or more business days from order processing, and next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery timing depends on supplier inventory and truck schedules, and you can select your preferred delivery date during checkout.
