Yes — in most cases fill dirt is cheaper per cubic yard than processed gravel because it is less processed and often sourced locally. That said, project needs (drainage, compaction, appearance) should drive your choice rather than price alone.

Expect roughly $20 to $40 for one cubic yard delivered in Upper East Side, FL, though minimum orders and truck sizes can affect the per-yard price. Hello Gravel shows exact pricing for your zip code and notes minimum orders may apply.

Most tri-axle dump trucks Hello Gravel uses carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards. As a rule of thumb 1 cubic yard covers 324 sq ft at 1" depth or 108 sq ft at 3" depth, so a 10-yard truck at 3" depth would cover about 1,080 sq ft.

Using local per-yard rates, a typical 10- to 12-yard dump truck load will cost roughly $200 to $600 delivered in the Upper East Side, depending on yard price, truck size, and delivery distance. Hello Gravel can provide an exact truckload price for your address during checkout.

Fill dirt density varies, but a good estimate is about 0.8 cubic yards per ton, meaning one ton will cover roughly 86 sq ft at 3" depth. These are approximate figures; exact coverage depends on compaction and moisture content.

It depends on the depth you need: for 1,000 sq ft, 2" requires about 6.2 cubic yards, 3" needs about 9.3 cubic yards, and 6" needs about 18.5 cubic yards. At typical Upper East Side pricing of $20–$40 per cubic yard, expect materials to cost roughly $124–$740 depending on depth and supplier.

Many full-size pickup beds can hold the volume of one cubic yard, but weight is the bigger issue: one cubic yard of fill dirt can weigh roughly 2,000–2,500 lbs and may exceed your truck's payload capacity. Check your truck's payload rating before loading and consider a delivery by Hello Gravel's dump trucks for safety.
