To cover 1,000 sq ft at 4 inches deep you need about 12.3 cubic yards (1000 * 4/12 / 27 = 12.35 cu yd). In Jacksonville soils, fill dirt typically weighs about 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard, so that equals roughly 13.5 to 16 tons; use 1.2 tons/yd3 as a simple rule of thumb for ordering and hauling.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks for deliveries to Jacksonville North Estates, which usually carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt per load. Using a Jacksonville-typical density of about 1.1–1.3 tons per cubic yard, a full truckload generally weighs roughly 11 to 18 tons depending on load size and moisture content.

A standard full-size pickup truck bed only holds about 0.5 to 1.5 cubic yards depending on bed size and whether you allow the load to be heaped, so one cubic yard may fit but it is heavy and can exceed gross vehicle weight limits. For safety, convenience, and to meet our 3-ton minimum order, we recommend ordering via dump truck delivery for most Jacksonville North Estates projects.

One cubic yard covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, or about 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Because Jacksonville fill dirt averages roughly 1.1–1.3 tons per cubic yard, one ton will cover slightly less area than one cubic yard: expect one ton to cover about 70–95 sq ft at 4 inches depending on the actual density and how tightly it is compacted.

Raw fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel, but it performs poorly as a driveway base because it does not drain or compact like crushed stone. For Jacksonville North Estates, use fill dirt only to build grade or raise low spots, then finish with a compacted crushed-stone base (crusher run or 3/4" minus) for a durable, well-draining driveway.

Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum order and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days with no extra fee in many areas; next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional charge.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading or compaction services. For full spreading and compaction, we recommend hiring a local contractor; in the Jacksonville area expect equipment + operator rates typically starting around $75–$150 per hour or service pricing that can range by job (get local quotes for firm pricing).

A typical tri-axle dump delivering 10–14 cubic yards of fill dirt will usually weigh between about 11 and 18 tons on the load alone, depending on moisture and soil type. If you have tight access, private road restrictions, or permitting concerns in Jacksonville North Estates, check local weight limits and tell us at checkout so we can coordinate the appropriate truck size and routing.
