Fill Dirt in Centerville, FL

In Centerville and much of the Florida region, fill-dirt typically runs about $10 to $30 per cubic yard delivered, depending on local source, moisture content, and distance from the supplier. Prices skew toward the lower end for loose native sand-clay blends nearby and higher if material must be hauled long distances or is screened. Exact price for your zip code is available through Hello Gravel’s quote tool.

A 10-yard load of fill dirt in Centerville usually costs roughly $120 to $400 delivered, depending on per-yard price, truck access, and any delivery fees. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (3 tons) and shows delivery options and fees at checkout; next-day delivery may cost extra. Ask for a firm quote to include local hauling and access factors.

Physically you can haul about 1 cubic yard in a full-size pickup bed, but weight can quickly exceed the vehicle’s payload and local axle limits, so it’s not recommended for heavy, damp fill-dirt. Hello Gravel’s minimum order and dump-truck deliveries are safer and more efficient for bulk jobs; for a single yard, consider buying bagged material from a retailer or arranging a small delivery.

Fill-dirt weight varies, but a loose cubic yard commonly weighs about 1.0 to 1.3 tons, so a 10-yard load will usually be around 10 to 13 tons. Many suppliers price by the cubic yard, but some charge by the ton for heavy or wet material, so heavier loads can increase hauling costs and affect truck limits and permitting.

Yes—fill-dirt is generally cheaper than screened topsoil because it contains less organic material and requires less processing. Fill-dirt is great for bulk grading, but for final lawn or planting surfaces you’ll usually want to cap with topsoil or imported loam, which costs more per cubic yard in the Centerville area.

Common alternatives are topsoil (for lawns and planting), washed sand (for drainage or leveling), and crusher-run or gravel (for driveways). In Centerville, expect topsoil at roughly $20–$45/yd3, washed sand $15–$35/yd3, and crushed stone $30–$60/yd3 delivered; choose based on use—topsoil for plants, sand for drainage, and crushed stone for load-bearing surfaces.

Some big-box stores sell bagged or palletized soil products and may arrange delivery, but they often do not offer bulk loose fill-dirt in large quantities or their per-yard delivered price can be higher. For bulk projects in Centerville, Hello Gravel’s marketplace connects you to local suppliers and dump-truck delivery that is usually more convenient and cost-effective.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet: it will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch deep, about 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and about 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Because 1 cubic yard of fill-dirt typically weighs about 1.0–1.3 tons, one ton is roughly 0.8–1.0 cubic yards, so calculate coverage by converting tons to cubic yards for your project.

In Florida, risks include poor drainage, high water table, settlement over time, and the presence of organic material that decomposes and causes sinking. For load-bearing applications or near foundations you should use engineered fill and proper compaction; for planting beds, add topsoil or compost because raw fill-dirt often lacks nutrients and structure for plants.

Rates vary: basic delivery fees are shown at checkout and tailgate spreading by drivers may be an extra charge or offered at their discretion. Local labor for spreading by hand typically runs $40–$80 per hour per worker, equipment operators or small crews often cost $75–$150 per hour, and $100/hour can be reasonable for a crew or machine-assisted spreading depending on job size and access. Hello Gravel can quote delivery and note potential spreading charges, but spreading services are not guaranteed.
