Fill Dirt in Micanopy, FL

A typical tri-axle dump truck serving West Florida holds about 10 to 16 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. Cost depends on yards needed, delivery distance, and any site-access issues, so we recommend getting a truck-load estimate from Hello Gravel to see pricing for your address in Micanopy.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 2 inches you need about 6.2 cubic yards (1,000 * 2/12 / 27 = 6.17). Fill dirt typically weighs roughly 1.1 to 1.3 tons per cubic yard loose, so plan on about 6.8 to 8.0 tons and order 5-10% extra for settlement and compaction.

Hello Gravel arranges delivery by local dump truck fleets and drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion. Tailgate spreading and installation rates vary by supplier and driver and are not guaranteed through checkout; contact our team for referrals to local landscapers or to request spreading so we can check local avaIlability and any extra fees.

Fill dirt is generally less expensive per yard than crushed stone, but it is not a good long-term driveway base because it compacts poorly and holds water. For Micanopy and West Florida soils we recommend a compacted stone base (crushed rock or crushed concrete) with pRoper subgrade preparation and drainage for durability.

Yes — where avaIlable, Hello Gravel can source screened topsoil for planting and clean (low-organic) fill dirt for grading. Use screened topsoil for lawns, gardens, and planting; use fill dirt for raising grade or filling holes, then cap with several inches of screened topsoil if you plan to seed or landscape.

For most DIY jobs in Micanopy, bulk delivery by dump truck is the most cost-effective option once you need several cubic yards because it avoids multiple small trips. If you only need a very small amount and have a pickup, yard pickup can save money, but check Hello Gravel minimums and compare delivered quotes to hauling yourself.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. That will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch deep, 162 sq ft at 2 inches deep, or 81 sq ft at 4 inches deep; use those figures to calculate how many yards you need and round up for compaction and waste.
