Fill Dirt in Sans Souci, FL

Delivered prices in the Florida/Sans Souci area vary with distance, supplier, and moisture content, but you can generally expect roughly $20 to $60 per cubic yard delivered. Exact cost depends on your zip code, access to the drop site, and whether you need tight scheduling or spreading, so get a quote through our site for an exact price.

For raising grade and fixing low spots in sandy Sans Souci soil, order fill dirt to build up elevation because it is inexpensive and blends with native soil. For a long-term driveway surface or stable base, follow that with a compactable aggregate (crushed stone or crusher-run) rather than loose gravel alone for better drainage and durability.

To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need about 12.3 cubic yards (1000 x 4/12 = 333 cubic feet = 12.3 cu yd). Using a mid-range delivered price of $30/yd3, expect roughly $370 for materials; weight is roughly 1.2 to 1.4 tons per cubic yard, so plan on about 15 to 18 tons. Exact price and tonnage vary with local supplier rates and moisture content, so request a quote to confirm.

A standard tri-axle dump truck commonly used for Hello Gravel deliveries holds about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt (roughly 12 to 18 tons depending on moisture and material). Smaller single-axle trucks carry less, and some jobs may be split into multiple trips for larger volumes.

Fill dirt is good for raising grade and filling low spots but is not as stable as crushed stone for a base that will carry vehicle traffic. For long-term stability in sandy Florida soils, use compactable fill where needed and finish with a properly compacted crushed stone or crusher-run base before laying surface material.

Most standard pickups cannot safely carry a full cubic yard of loose fill dirt without overloading; beds and axle limits make this impractical. For anything near or above our 3-ton minimum or when you need larger volumes, choose a dump truck delivery to avoid multiple risky trips and potential vehicle damage.

One cubic yard of fill dirt equals 27 cubic feet, so it covers 81 sq ft at 4 inches depth (27 / 0.333 ft). Because weight varies with moisture, 1 ton of fill dirt roughly covers 45 to 65 sq ft at 4 inches; use cubic yards for volume planning and convert to tons using your supplier’s density if you need weight-based pricing.

Use 50 lb bags for very small touch-ups, potted areas, or when you cannot accept truck delivery. For any multi-yard job (even a few cubic yards), bulk delivery is far more economical, faster, and easier to spread and compact at the site.

We offer various fill-dirt products and can connect you with local suppliers who carry more compactable fills or fines-blended materials, but true structural bases require crushed stone or engineered base material. Ask for compactable fill or base material at checkout and request driver to evaluate tailgate spreading, though spreading is at the driver’s discretion.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; delivery cost depends on distance and site access and may be free in many areas. Add order notes for special drop locations or spreading requests and contact our team if you need to change an order before dispatch.
