Fill Dirt in Murray Hill, FL

In Murray Hill you can expect delivered fill-dirt to range roughly from $15 to $45 per cubic yard depending on volume, truck access, and material quality. Lower prices apply for larger orders (bulk pricing) and easy drive-up access; higher prices appear for small loads, difficult drops, or same-day/next-day requests. Taxes, local hauling fees, and permit requirements can add to the final price.

Fill-dirt (used to raise or reshape grades) is generally cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel in the Murray Hill area because it is a lower-spec material. However, gravel is needed for stable driveable surfaces and drainage, so overall project cost depends on how much of each you need and whether compaction or geotextile is required. Compare delivered unit prices and the performance you need for the project before choosing.

Typical residential dump truck deliveries in the Florida region range widely: a small 6-8 cubic yard truck delivery often costs about $200 to $400, while a standard tri-axle (10-12 cubic yards) may be $300 to $800. Exact pricing depends on the truck type, distance from supplier, site access, and whether tailgate spreading is requested. Hello Gravel’s minimums and local supplier rates may change those figures, so get a quote for your address.

Use this quick conversion for 1,000 sq ft: 1 inch = about 3.1 cubic yards, 2 inches = about 6.2 cubic yards, and 4 inches = about 12.4 cubic yards. Always round up slightly to allow for compaction and settling, and consider ordering an extra 5-10% for site losses. For structural bases you may also need compaction and additional engineered fill.

A single cubic yard of fill-dirt weighs roughly 1 to 1.5 tons depending on moisture and soil type; most full-size pickups can safely carry about 0.5 to 1.0 cubic yard in the bed, so one cubic yard may be at or near the limit. A 7x14 dump trailer will typically hold 2 to 4 cubic yards, so it can usually handle one cubic yard easily. Many suppliers—including those we work with—set a minimum order (Hello Gravel’s minimum is 3 tons) and may not deliver very small walk-in loads; check availability and limits when quoting.

In Murray Hill you’ll commonly see delivery minimums that translate to about 3 tons or roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards for residential routes. Small-load fees, short-haul charges, or access fees can apply when driveways are narrow, there are no turnarounds, or the drop location requires extra handling. Hello Gravel shows minimum order amounts at checkout and will itemize any extra delivery charges on your quote.

For a typical 20-foot-long driveway 10 feet wide (200 sq ft) needing a 4" fill-dirt base and a 2" gravel surface, you would need about 2.5 cubic yards of fill-dirt and about 1.25 cubic yards of gravel. Using local delivered ranges, materials-only could run roughly $40 to $120 for the fill dirt and $20 to $70 for the gravel, so expect about $60 to $190 total for materials delivered, depending on product, truck access, and order minimums. This estimate excludes compaction, grading labor, and any drainage work.

Some local suppliers and independent contractors in the Murray Hill/Jacksonville area offer grading and leveling services, but many material-only deliveries do not include installation. Typical contractor quotes for leveling and compacting a small yard can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on scope, access, and whether machinery is required. If you need turnkey service, ask for lump-sum quotes that include material, spreading, compaction, and disposal of any debris.

Fill-dirt density varies, but a rough rule is one cubic yard of fill-dirt weighs about 1 to 1.5 tons in Florida; so one ton is roughly 0.7 to 1.0 cubic yard. To estimate coverage on a project, convert area and depth to cubic yards (see the 1,000 sq ft example) and then multiply by your delivered price per cubic yard to get a per-square-foot cost. For light spreading at 2" depth, expect material costs often in the range of a few cents to a dollar per square foot depending on local delivered rates.

Homeowners can do small-leveling jobs with fill-dirt themselves if they have basic tools and compacting equipment for light tasks. Hire a contractor when you need engineered compaction, erosion control, drainage changes, driveway bases, or when the job requires heavy equipment or permits. For larger projects or anything affecting structures, utilities, or lot grading, professional help reduces risk and ensures compliance with local rules.

Residential deliveries in Murray Hill commonly use small dump trucks (6-8 cubic yards) and standard tri-axle trucks (10-12 cubic yards); some suppliers also use smaller straight trucks for tight access. Typical delivered cost examples: 1 cubic yard (small-order premium) might land around $70 to $150, 5 cubic yards about $150 to $450, and 10 cubic yards roughly $300 to $900. Prices vary with truck type, exact address, site access, and supplier; get an itemized quote for precise numbers.
