Fill Dirt in Florida Town, FL

Prices vary by supplier, quality, and delivery distance, but in Florida Town you can generally expect delivered fill-dirt to range roughly from $10 to $30 per cubic yard. Final price depends on whether the material is screened/clean or raw fill, local haul distance, and any delivery fees; request a zip-code quote on our site for an exact delivered price.

Yes — fill-dirt is usually less expensive per cubic yard than crushed stone or gravel because it is a basic earth material rather than a processed aggregate. However, fill-dirt is not a good wearing surface for driveways; if you need a finished driving surface you should budget for gravel or crushed stone on top of the fill-dirt.

A typical tri-axle dump truck used in Hello Gravel deliveries in Florida Town holds about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons and standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Delivery fees often depend on distance and local supplier policies; many areas have free or flat-fee delivery, but check your zip code at checkout to see the exact fee and availability.

To raise 1,000 square feet by 6 inches you need 1,000 ft2 x 0.5 ft = 500 cubic feet, which is about 18.5 cubic yards. We recommend ordering 10% to 15% extra to account for settlement and compaction, so plan on roughly 20 to 21 cubic yards and request a formal quote through our site to confirm quantities and pricing.

Many local suppliers offer different grades: raw fill (cheapest), screened or clean fill (fewer rocks and debris), and engineered or compactable fill (graded for compaction). Screened or clean fill typically costs more than raw fill due to processing, and engineered/compacted material and testing will add to the price; contact our team to specify which option you need and get a side-by-side quote.

Some vendors and contracted haulers can provide tailgate spreading or spreading and compaction as an add-on, but this is provided at the driver or supplier’s discretion and is not guaranteed by Hello Gravel. When available, spreading and light compaction is usually charged extra — common ranges are a modest flat fee or hourly labor rates (for example, $50 to $250+ depending on scope); for heavy compaction you may need a separate compaction contractor and permit work, so ask for a bundled estimate before ordering.

Yes — local rules can apply in Florida Town, including building department permits, stormwater or grading permits, floodplain or wetlands restrictions, and HOA requirements for noticeable grade changes. Before you order large volumes, check with Florida Town’s building or planning department and your HOA if applicable; Hello Gravel can pause delivery if you need time to secure permits, but customers are responsible for obtaining required approvals.
