A typical tri-axle dump truck carries roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, so a delivered truckload in South Orange commonly costs between about $120 and $400 based on the per-yard range. That estimate can rise if the job has difficult access, requires a permit, or needs after-hours delivery. Contact our team for truckload pricing and to confirm any extra fees for your property.

To cover 1,000 sq ft you need about 6.2 yd3 (roughly 8.0 tons) at 2", 9.3 yd3 (about 12.0 tons) at 3", and 12.4 yd3 (about 16.1 tons) at 4". These numbers use a common conversion of about 1.3 tons per cubic yard for typical Florida fill dirt. Always round up slightly to allow for compaction and grading losses.

Using the coverage above and local delivered prices, expect a ballpark cost of $75 to $350 for 1,000 sq ft at 2", $110 to $525 at 3", and $150 to $700 at 4", depending on the supplier and delivery distance. The wide ranges reflect differences in material quality, truck fees, and local demand. Get an exact quote in checkout by entering your address and desired delivery date.

Material-only, fill dirt is usually cheaper per yard than crushed gravel, but it is not a good structural base for driveways because it compacts poorly and holds water. For a driveway base, crushed stone or dense-graded gravel generally costs more upfront but performs far better for long-term stability and drainage. For yard-raising, grading, or under-sod work, fill dirt is the economical choice in the South Orange area.

One ton of fill dirt covers roughly 125 sq ft at 2", about 83 sq ft at 3", and about 62 sq ft at 4". In the Florida region per-ton delivered prices commonly range from about $10 to $22, depending on local supplier rates and delivery logistics. Ask for a per-ton vs per-yard quote if you need precise numbers for your project.

Pricing by the yard vs by the ton usually ends up similar once suppliers convert for material density, but wet or heavy soils can make per-ton quotes higher because water adds weight. Contractors sometimes get better per-ton rates for large, consistent truckloads, while homeowners ordering small amounts often see yard-based pricing. If weight matters for your project, request both units on the quote so you can compare apples to apples.

A delivered truckload price typically includes the material and hauling, but final costs can rise if the supplier adds permit fees, offloading charges, or if a landfill tipping fee applies. Expect a delivered truckload in South Orange to fall in the $150 to $600 range for most standard jobs; unique conditions can increase that. We recommend confirming with our team whether the quoted price includes all fees for your address.
