Fill Dirt in Ponce de Leon, FL

Expect a delivered price range of about $12 to $35 per cubic yard for basic fill dirt in Ponce de Leon, FL, depending on source, moisture, and access. A typical residential dump (10–12 cubic yards) will therefore run roughly $120 to $420 delivered; larger tri-axle loads or heavy, screened material will be at the higher end. Local suppliers and seasonal demand can shift prices, so get a quote for an exact price.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons (roughly 2–3 cubic yards depending on material density), and many areas in West Florida offer free standard delivery on qualifying orders. Smaller or remote deliveries, tight access sites, or next-day service may carry an extra delivery fee, so check your zip code and quote for specific charges.

Residential dump trucks commonly deliver about 10 to 12 cubic yards of fill dirt; some trucks carry slightly more or less depending on the truck and local load limits. Using the per-yard range above, one truck would usually cost about $120 to $420 delivered in Ponce de Leon; ask your quote for the exact truck size and price.

For filling low spots, basic fill dirt is usually the cheaper option because it is intended as backfill and is less processed than gravel. For driveways, gravel (well-graded base and crushed stone) performs better long-term, so while gravel costs more upfront, it often reduces future maintenance—compare material and labor costs for your exact use before deciding.

Many West Florida suppliers can provide screened (cleaned) fill dirt or compaction services, but these are add-ons that increase price. Screening commonly adds $3 to $12 per cubic yard, while on-site compaction or roller rental is typically quoted per hour or per job (often $75 to $200+ per hour depending on equipment and crew); contact suppliers for a bundled quote for both material and compaction.

Calculate volume in cubic yards by multiplying area (50 ft x 50 ft = 2,500 sq ft) by depth in feet (6 in = 0.5 ft) to get cubic feet (2,500 x 0.5 = 1,250 cu ft), then divide by 27; that equals about 46.3 cubic yards. Multiply by your per-yard price (for example, 46.3 yd3 x $20/yd3 ≈ $926) and add delivery and any compaction or screening fees for a total estimate.

Same-week delivery is often available in West Florida depending on supplier schedules and truck availability; Hello Gravel’s standard delivery is 2+ business days and next-day service is possible if ordered before noon CST for an extra fee. Tailgate spreading may be offered at the driver’s discretion with no guarantee; professional spreading and mechanical compaction are usually quoted separately and can range from a couple hundred dollars for small jobs to higher rates for larger sites.

Small residential deliveries for minor grading usually do not require a permit, but larger import fills, changes to drainage, or work near wetlands may need county or state permits in Holmes County. Suppliers typically provide weight tickets and material descriptions to assist with compliance but do not handle permitting; check with Holmes County Planning or your local building department before large deliveries, and ask suppliers about disposal options for excess material.

Common payment methods include major credit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay through Hello Gravel’s secure checkout. You can choose a delivery date during checkout (standard 2+ business days or next-day before noon CST for a fee); to change or cancel, contact the Hello Gravel team as soon as possible—modifications are easier before the order is dispatched but are not guaranteed after processing.

Suppliers in the area often offer volume discounts for large orders and may provide references for past jobs on request; Hello Gravel can request competitive quotes from local vendors on your behalf. While we can ask suppliers to match or beat available pricing, specific price-matching policies vary by supplier, so request details and references when you get your quote.
