Fill Dirt in Lisbon, FL

A standard tri-axle dump truck in the Lisbon area usually carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose; at typical local rates that can run roughly $150 to $400 per load delivered. Final cost depends on the yard price, truck size, access restrictions, and whether spreading is requested (drivers may do tailgate spreading at their discretion). For an accurate total, request a quote for the exact number of yards you need.

One yard of fill dirt delivered to a Lisbon, FL address will generally fall in the $15 to $30 range, but small orders and difficult access may raise the per-yard cost.

It depends on the depth you need. For 1,000 sq ft: 1 inch = about 3.1 cubic yards (roughly $45 to $95); 3 inches = about 9.3 cubic yards (roughly $140 to $280); 6 inches = about 18.5 cubic yards (roughly $280 to $560) at local Lisbon fill-dirt rates.

"Poor man’s concrete" usually refers to a compacted mix of crushed stone or crusher-run used as a cheap base surface without cement; it is not the same as fill dirt. Fill dirt often contains fines and organic material and is compressible, so it is not a reliable substitute for a structural base or finished surface in Lisbon projects. For bases or driveways, ask our team for the proper aggregate recommendation based on your use and local soils.

Coverage depends on depth and the soil density, but 1 ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.6 to 0.8 cubic yards. That amount covers about 60 to 130 square feet at common depths (for example, roughly 65 sq ft at a 4-inch depth). For exact planning, tell us the depth you need and we will convert to yards and tons for a local Lisbon delivery estimate.

A full-size pickup bed might physically hold close to 1 cubic yard, but 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs 1.2 to 1.6 tons and will likely exceed your truck’s safe payload limit. Because of weight limits and local road rules in Lisbon, we recommend using a dump truck delivery from Hello Gravel rather than loading a pickup, unless you know your truck’s payload and can stay under it. We also have minimum order and delivery options to make a dump delivery easy.

It depends on the service. $100 per hour can be reasonable if that rate includes an equipment operator with a small excavator or skid steer to spread and grade fill dirt, but it is high for unskilled labor alone. For manual spreading only, local Lisbon labor rates are often lower; for equipment plus operator and liability, expect higher hourly charges. Ask hello Gravel for delivery and discuss spreading needs at checkout so you can compare equipment+labor quotes.
