In West Florida, delivered fill dirt commonly falls in the $18 to $45 per cubic yard range (roughly $15 to $35 per ton) depending on supplier and distance. Buying in bulk (multiple truckloads) usually lowers the per-yard price because hauling and mobilization costs are spread out, so orders above 10 to 15 cubic yards often offer better per-unit rates.

Use the formula: cubic yards = (square feet x depth in feet) / 27. For quick examples: a 500 sq ft yard raised 2 inches needs about 3.1 yd3, a 1,000 sq ft yard at 2 inches needs about 6.2 yd3, and a 1,000 sq ft yard at 4 inches needs about 12.3 yd3. Always order 5% to 10% extra to allow for compaction and grading.

While a full-size pickup bed may physically hold about 1 cubic yard, fill dirt is heavy and can exceed a pickup's payload capacity, risking damage to the vehicle. For most West Park residential jobs we recommend dump truck delivery (Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks) to ensure safe transport and proper unloading.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so with a typical 3 cu ft wheelbarrow that's about nine wheelbarrow loads (smaller or larger barrows change that number). Hello Gravel deliveries usually come by dump truck; drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed—ask customer service about offloading options or hiring a local crew for spreading.

Fill dirt is suitable for raising grade or filling low spots and works as subgrade under driveways when properly compacted, but it lacks organic matter so it is not suitable for planting on top. For driveways, use compactible fill or structural fill (and typically a crushed stone base over the fill); talk to your contractor or our team about gradations and compaction requirements for the specific driveway design.

One cubic yard (27 cubic feet) covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 162 sq ft at 2 inches, about 81 sq ft at 4 inches, and about 54 sq ft at 6 inches. Use these figures to quickly estimate coverage for lawns, patios, and other leveling jobs.

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is subsoil with little organic matter and is intended for grading and structural fill. Choose fill dirt to raise or level ground and create a stable base; choose topsoil when you plan to plant turf, gardens, or beds because topsoil supports plant growth.

For a 100-foot by 10-foot driveway (1,000 sq ft), a 4-inch base needs about 12.3 cubic yards and a 6-inch base about 18.5 cubic yards. At a typical delivered price range ($18-$45/yd3) material cost could run roughly $220 to $830, plus delivery and compaction or grading fees—plan a total ballpark of $400 to $1,200 depending on exact materials, access, and hauling.

Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, with next-day delivery available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee; minimum order is 3 tons. Extra fees can apply for tight access, long hauling distances, off-route deliveries, tailgate spreading requests, or if a permit is needed to block a street—check local West Park requirements and tell us about site access when ordering.

Most single-driveway residential deliveries do not require a permit, but if the truck must block a public street, use a crane, or place material on public right-of-way, West Park or Broward County may require permits or traffic control. We recommend checking with the City of West Park or contacting Hello Gravel before scheduling if you expect street blocking or unusual offloading needs.
