Use Hello Gravel’s checkout or contact our team for a precise delivered price to your street.

For leveling and raising grade, fill-dirt is usually cheaper than gravel because it is a low-cost material meant for bulk fill. For driveways, however, gravel or crushed stone performs much better for drainage and load-bearing, so gravel is the better material even if its per-yard cost is higher. Choose fill-dirt for bulk grade work and gravel for surfaces that need to support vehicles.

A standard tri-axle dump truck working with Hello Gravel typically carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt. As an example, one 12-cubic-yard truck will raise 1,000 square feet by roughly 3 inches (about 9.3 cubic yards needed), so a single truck is usually enough for that job. Exact truck sizes and loads depend on the supplier and local weight limits, so confirm with your Hello Gravel order details.

Hello Gravel’s platform has a minimum order equivalent to about 3 tons; delivery fees depend on supplier location, route, and order size. Many deliveries in the Florida Region may qualify for free delivery, while small orders or tight-access drops can carry additional fees. When you enter your zip code and quantity on our site you’ll see any delivery fees and minimums up front.

Use the formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in feet) / 27. For 1,000 sq ft raised 3 inches (0.25 ft): 1,000 * 0.25 / 27 ≈ 9.3 cubic yards, so order about 9.5 to 10 cubic yards to allow for settling and compaction. Ask our team about recommended overage for your specific soil and compaction needs.

Many local contractors in the Hunters Green/Tampa area offer spreading and compaction as part of site-prep services, and Hello Gravel drivers may be able to tailgate-spread at their discretion if you request it at checkout. Professional spreading and compaction pricing varies by job size, but expect small jobs to run a few hundred dollars (or roughly $75 to $150 per hour) depending on access and equipment. Get quotes from local contractors for combined delivery-plus-install pricing.

Hunters Green is a planned community with HOA rules that can affect where trucks can park and where material can be dumped, so always check with your HOA before delivery. Additionally, large trucks or blocking a public street may require permits from Hillsborough County or the City of Tampa; confirm local rules if the truck needs to stop on a public road or use pedestrian areas. Tell Hello Gravel about HOA rules or access limits when you order so we can coordinate with the supplier and driver.

Screened or 'clean' fill that has been sifted of large debris and rocks typically costs more—commonly 10% to 30% higher—than raw or virgin fill-dirt because of the extra processing. The benefit in Hunters Green landscaping is fewer sticks, debris, and large rocks, making planting and final grading easier. If you plan to plant turf or beds, request screened fill and mention that preference in Order Notes during checkout.

Standard delivery via Hello Gravel requires 2+ business days lead time, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an added fee. Same-week scheduling is often possible depending on supplier availability, but longer lead times can occur during peak seasons or after storms. Choose your preferred delivery date on the checkout calendar and contact our team if you need faster scheduling or special delivery windows.
