Fill Dirt in New Port Richey East, FL

Yes—fill dirt is generally cheaper than decorative or crushed gravel in the New Port Richey East area because it is less processed. Typical local pricing reflects that difference, but the exact cost gap depends on whether the fill dirt is screened/clean or contains organics and on delivery distance. Use fill dirt for grading and raising low spots; use gravel for drainage, driveways, and finished surfaces.

In New Port Richey East, a cubic yard of basic fill dirt commonly ranges from about $12 to $35 per cubic yard, with screened or truck-delivered material toward the higher end.

Fill dirt typically weighs about 1.3 to 1.7 tons per cubic yard loose, so a common estimating number is roughly 1.4 tons/yd3. Moisture content, organic material, and compaction change that figure, so use the range for planning and ask your supplier for their specific density if exact weight matters.

A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards (about 14 to 20 tons depending on density), and a delivered truckload of fill dirt in the area commonly costs between $300 and $900. Price varies with truck size, material quality, delivery distance, site access, and whether you need spreading or permits, so request a full quote at checkout before scheduling delivery.

Most tri-axle dump trucks used in our network deliver about 10 to 14 loose cubic yards of fill dirt, though smaller or larger trucks are sometimes available depending on supplier and road restrictions. Hello Gravel lists the truck type during checkout and requires a minimum order of 3 tons, so choose the truck size that matches your calculated needs.

Near New Port Richey East you should consider the high water table, sandy native soils, drainage needs, and potential settling when bringing in fill dirt. Ask for clean, non-organic fill for structural or grade-raising work, allow for compaction (you may need more material to reach final elevation), and check local permitting if you are changing lot grades or building pads.

Fill dirt alone is not ideal as a finished driveway or patio base because it can be poorly draining and prone to settlement; use engineered or compacted structural fill and a layer of crushed stone or base material for those applications. For small landscape grade adjustments it is fine, but for load-bearing or paved surfaces consult a contractor and specify clean, compactable fill.

Contact Hello Gravel as soon as possible—changes are easiest before the order is processed or dispatched and depend on supplier and truck schedules. We will do our best to accommodate modifications, but last-minute changes may not be possible and additional fees can apply.
