Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and standard delivery requires at least 2 business days. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; tailgate spreading can be requested but is done at the driver's discretion.

Measure the area (length x width) and the desired depth in feet, multiply to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Because Florida soils settle and may compact, add 10% to 20% extra for settling and compaction and round up to meet Hello Gravel's minimum order of 3 tons if needed.

Fill dirt can be used to raise grade, but in Suncoast Highlands' sandy soils and sometimes high water table you should use coarse, well-draining fill or combine fill dirt with clean sand or structural fill to avoid long-term saturation. For elevation near foundations or driveways, consult local building codes and consider compaction and drainage improvements before ordering.

Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion and if conditions at your site allow, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading services. Request spreading at checkout and be prepared for the driver to assess access, safety, and whether the truck can perform the work on arrival.
