Fill Dirt in Immokalee, FL

Delivered price varies with supplier, truck access, and haul distance. As a rough estimate expect about $12 to $30 per cubic yard delivered in the West Florida area; a 10 cubic yard order would therefore run roughly $120 to $300 before any extra services. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (3 tons) and uses local suppliers, so final price is confirmed at checkout based on your zip code and delivery details.

Hello Gravel can deliver fill dirt and drivers may provide tailgate spreading at their discretion, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on site safety and access. Professional spreading and compaction (using a skid-steer, plate compactor, or roller) are typically arranged separately and commonly add labor and equipment costs; a ballpark range is $50 to $150 per hour or about $5 to $20 per cubic yard depending on crew size and access. Contact our team for a site-specific quote that includes spreading and compaction estimates.

Use this formula: cubic yards = (square feet of area x depth in feet) / 27. For example, a 1,000 sq ft yard raised 3 inches (0.25 ft) needs about 9.3 cubic yards; the same yard raised 6 inches (0.5 ft) needs about 18.5 cubic yards. We recommend adding 5-10% extra for settlement and compaction; submit your area dimensions on our site and we will provide a tailored quote for material and delivery.

Hello Gravel works with local suppliers that may offer volume pricing for larger orders, and discounts are often available once you reach larger truckloads or multiple-truck orders. Our platform minimum is 3 tons, but meaningful bulk discounts commonly start at 10 to 20 cubic yards depending on supplier and season. For a firm discount and minimums for your project in Immokalee, request a quote so we can check supplier rates for your zip code.

For sandy sites in Immokalee we typically recommend fill with some fines or clay content (sandy loam or engineered fill) rather than clean sand, because fines help bind the material and reduce settling. Engineered or imported fill that is tested and graded for compaction costs more than local native sand because of processing and hauling; expect a price premium for specialty or tested fill. Tell us your project goals and we will recommend material options and price differences for your area.

Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days; next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST (additional fee applies). Same-week delivery is often possible depending on supplier and truck availability in the Immokalee area, but you should check your zip code and preferred date at checkout to confirm. Delivery fees depend on distance, order size, and access; the exact fee will display during checkout or on your quote.

Hello Gravel arranges hauling by professional dump truck fleets to deliver your fill dirt, and drivers may offer limited tailgate spreading at their discretion. Full spreading and compaction are typically provided by independent crews or subcontractors and are priced separately; costs vary with site access and equipment but often run in the range of $50 to $150 per hour or $5 to $20 per cubic yard. We can include spreading/compaction estimates in your quote, but final scheduling and guarantees are handled locally by the provider.

Pickup can lower your material cost because you avoid delivery fees, but you must provide an appropriate truck and loading help; suppliers set pickup pricing and minimums. Full delivery adds a hauling fee based on distance and truck type, and installation (spreading and compaction) adds separate labor and equipment costs.

For a driveway you should use well-graded crushed stone or gravel as a structural base rather than fill dirt, because gravel provides drainage and load-bearing stability while fill dirt tends to compact poorly under traffic. Fill dirt can be used to raise the grade before you install a gravel base, but it should not be the surface layer. Gravel costs are typically higher per cubic yard than raw fill dirt, but it will perform much better for driveways in Immokalee’s sandy conditions.

Yes — Collier County and local regulations can affect grading, fill placement, and drainage, and properties in flood-prone or regulated areas may require permits or engineered plans. Seasonal rains and flat, sandy local soils in Immokalee make drainage and proper elevation important to avoid ponding or runoff issues. Hello Gravel can note permit and drainage questions on your quote and flag when you should consult the county building department or a licensed contractor, but permit fees and official engineering services are not included in material quotes by default.
