A cubic yard of fill dirt in Florida commonly weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons (2,400 to 3,200 pounds) depending on moisture content and composition. Wet clay-heavy fill can be heavier, while very sandy, dry material will be lighter; use the higher end for hauling and compaction estimates.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used by Hello Gravel carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose, which would cover roughly 270 to 390 square feet at 1 inch depth (use the formula below to adjust). For practical grading or raising yard areas, expect less coverage after compaction and allow extra for settling.

A delivered dump-truck load (about 10-12 cubic yards) of fill dirt in Deerwood usually falls in a broad range of roughly $200 to $600, based on distance, load size, and supplier. For an accurate price enter your address on Hello Gravel or call our team so we can pull local rates and available delivery dates.

Some full-size pickups can physically hold close to 1 cubic yard loose, but payload weight and bed dimensions often make this impractical and unsafe. We recommend using a trailer or ordering delivery from Hello Gravel (minimum orders and safe hauling are considered) rather than overloading a consumer pickup.

Plan on ordering 5% to 15% more fill dirt than the theoretical volume to allow for compaction and settlement; 10% is a common rule of thumb for most yard work in Deerwood. If you are compacting heavy clay or filling deeply, err toward the higher end and discuss compaction needs with our team.

Because Deerwood is in Florida, watch for high water table and sandy subsoil — use well-draining fill where grade and drainage matter and avoid organic topsoil as structural fill. If you are raising grades near drainage swales, property lines, or wet areas, check local codes and ask Hello Gravel about suitable material and delivery timing to avoid soggy-site issues.
