For a precise price, schedule a quote through Hello Gravel so we can match you with local suppliers and the exact truck size you need.

Most local tri-axle dump trucks deliver about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt. One cubic yard of loose material covers about 81 square feet at 4 inches depth, so a 10-yard load covers roughly 810 square feet at 4 inches before compaction; expect 10-20% volume loss once compacted or settled.

Fill-dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than crushed gravel in West Vero Corridor because it is less processed and often locally available. However, gravel performs better for driveways and drainage, so while fill-dirt saves material cost, total project cost depends on whether you need a structural, well-draining base.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet; after compaction expect about 10-20% settlement, so plan on 0.8 to 0.9 cubic yards of finished volume per yard placed. Practically, one loose cubic yard will cover about 81 square feet at 4 inches loose, but after compaction that same yard will cover slightly more area at a thinner finished depth.

In the Florida Region, 10 cubic yards of fill-dirt typically costs between $150 and $400 for material and standard delivery; adding tailgate spreading or professional compaction can add $100 to $500 depending on labor and equipment. Because spreading services are provided at drivers' discretion, request spreading at checkout and get a bundled quote if you need guaranteed labor.

One cubic yard can physically fit in many full-size pickup beds, but weight is the limiting factor—1 cubic yard of fill-dirt often weighs about 2,000 to 2,500 pounds, which can approach or exceed common pickup payload limits. For safety and convenience, orders of multiple yards or heavy, wet soil are best handled by a dump truck or a rated dump trailer; Hello Gravel can match you to the right delivery option.

How many wheelbarrow loads depends on wheelbarrow size: a 6-cubic-foot wheelbarrow yields about 4 to 5 loads per cubic yard, while a 3-cubic-foot wheelbarrow yields about 9 loads. For small garden beds or low spots, a few cubic yards is common; calculate needed cubic yards first, then divide by your wheelbarrow volume to estimate trips.

Yes, buying in bulk usually lowers the per-yard price and reduces delivery cost per yard in West Vero Corridor because truck dispatch and hauling fees are spread across more material. Hello Gravel often shows better per-yard pricing on larger orders and may offer free or reduced delivery fees locally, so request a bulk quote for orders of 10 yards or more.

Local labor rates vary: general labor for unloading and raking typically runs $40 to $75 per hour, while skilled equipment operators (skid steer or mini-excavator) can run $75 to $150 per hour in the West Vero Corridor area. Delivery and labor are not always bundled—drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but guaranteed spreading or compaction is usually arranged as a separate service or quoted upfront.
