Fill Dirt in Regency, FL

Delivered fill-dirt prices in the Regency area typically run about $12 to $30 per cubic yard depending on quality, distance from the supplier, and job size. Prices can be lower for full truckloads and higher if the material is engineered or has minimal organics. Check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a quote for an exact delivered price.

A common tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, so a single truck delivery usually costs about $120 to $420 delivered, based on the per-yard range. Access constraints, permit needs, or offloading complexity can increase the price. Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum and will show exact truckload pricing in your quote.

For 1,000 sq ft you need about 6.17 cubic yards at 2", 12.35 cubic yards at 4", and 18.52 cubic yards at 6". Using a typical Regency delivered price of $12 to $30 per cubic yard, material-plus-delivery estimates are roughly $74 to $185 for 2", $148 to $370 for 4", and $222 to $555 for 6". Always order 5% to 10% extra to allow for settlement and compaction.

Material and delivery for 1,000 sq ft depends on depth; for a 4" lift expect roughly $150 to $370 for fill dirt delivered. Basic compaction can add $200 to $600 if you hire a contractor; renting a plate compactor is typically $60 to $120 per day if you do it yourself. Final cost depends on access, needed lift thickness, and whether engineered fill or testing is required.

If your goal is simply raising grade or filling low spots, fill dirt is usually cheaper up front and blends with landscaping. For surfaces that need to be driven or walked on, gravel or crushed stone is more stable and lower-maintenance long term because it drains better and resists erosion. In Regency’s wet season you should also consider drainage and erosion controls, which can affect long-term costs.

Yes. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order equal to about 3 tons, and many local suppliers offer lower per-yard prices for truckload or bulk orders and free delivery above a certain threshold. Bulk discounts and free-delivery thresholds vary by supplier and distance, so request a quote through Hello Gravel to see specific thresholds and savings for your address.

No—plain fill dirt is not a good substitute for concrete for driveways because it won’t provide a stable wearing surface and will rut and wash out in rain. A compacted crushed-stone base (not fill dirt) can be a low-cost alternative; typical installed costs for a crushed-stone driveway approach are roughly $1.50 to $4.00 per sq ft, while poured concrete usually runs $6.00 to $12.00 per sq ft. For load-bearing surfaces in Regency you’ll want a properly compacted, engineered base and good drainage rather than loose fill dirt.

Many local haulers and suppliers offer removal services, but removal is a separate service and is priced differently from delivery. Hauling away soil or debris often involves disposal fees and is typically charged per ton, per truckload, or by the hour—often making removal cost equal to or higher than a delivered load of fill dirt. Contact Hello Gravel or the supplier to add removal to your quote and get an itemized price.

Common options include landscape fill (may contain some organic matter), clean fill (minimal organics, better for compaction), and engineered or structural fill (specified gradation and compaction properties for construction). Landscape fill is usually the least expensive, clean fill is midrange, and engineered structural fill costs more due to testing and specs—often 10% to 50% higher depending on requirements.

Yes. Florida locations often have high water tables and strict stormwater or grading rules that can affect how much fill you can place and which materials you should use. Building permits, compaction testing, and engineered fill may be required for foundations, retaining walls, or projects near wetlands, which increases material and testing costs. Always check with your local Regency building and permitting office before ordering and tell Hello Gravel if permits or testing are required so we can help source compliant materials.

Measure the area and depth in feet, compute volume (area x depth), convert cubic feet to cubic yards by dividing by 27, and then add 5% to 10% for settlement and compaction. Indicate a preferred drop location in the Order Notes at checkout and make sure there is safe truck access; drivers may tailgate spread at their discretion but cannot move material long distances by hand. If access is tight, mention it on the order so Hello Gravel can match a hauler with appropriate equipment.

Yes. Regency’s rainy season can delay deliveries and make soils heavier and harder to spread or compact. Wet fill dirt can increase trucking costs because loads weigh more and may require additional passes or drying time, so plan deliveries for drier weather when possible. Hello Gravel will advise on scheduling and may recommend waiting for a dry window for best results.
