Why Altha Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Altha is a small but growing community (city population: 3,500) benefiting from spillover demand tied to a larger regional market (metro area population: 2.5+ million) and a steady 2.50% annual growth rate. Located in a warm, sunny climate (hardiness zone 8b) with 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners and builders in Altha are frequently involved in new construction, regrading, and drainage upgrades. That steady development and the area's sandy native soils create steady demand for reliable earthwork materials. Homeowners seek quality aggregates like fill dirt to build stable subgrades, correct low spots, and prepare foundations for driveways, patios, and plant beds because proper material selection reduces long-term settling and drainage issues.Popular Projects in Altha This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Altha Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Altha.
Fill dirt is subsoil with little organic material used to raise or level ground, fill low spots, and backfill around foundations. In Altha, FL, homeowners and contractors use it for driveway bases, building pads, low-yard fixes after heavy rains, and prepping lots for construction. Local suppliers may vary in texture and sand content due to regional geology.
Prices in Altha typically vary by source, quantity, and delivery distance; expect roughly $10 to $30 per cubic yard delivered, though local rates can be lower or higher. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (3 tons) and will show transparent pricing and delivery fees at checkout, with next-day delivery available for qualifying orders.
Most tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10 to 13 cubic yards of loose fill dirt, depending on moisture and compaction. If you need larger or smaller amounts, Hello Gravel can connect you with suppliers to match truck size to your project.
One cubic yard covers 9 square feet at 4 inches deep, 18 square feet at 2 inches, or 27 square feet at 1.5 inches. Because fill dirt settles and compacts, add 10% to 20% extra for compaction and grading when calculating needs for an Altha project.
A cubic yard is roughly a 3-foot by 3-foot by 3-foot pile — about the size of a small household refrigerator on its side. Delivered in a dump truck, that same volume will spread thinner, so plan multiple cubic yards for larger flat areas or deeper fills.
Using a local delivered rate of $10 to $30 per cubic yard, 20 cubic yards is approximately $200 to $600, excluding any special delivery fees or site access charges. Exact price depends on supplier, haul distance, and whether additional services like tailgate spreading are requested.
Generally yes: plain fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than crushed rock or gravel because it is less processed. However, gravel provides better drainage and load-bearing capacity, so gravel may be the better long-term choice for driveways or heavy-use areas despite higher upfront cost.
Fill dirt is fine-grained subsoil used to build up grades and fill holes; gravel is crushed stone used for drainage and structural base layers. In Altha, choose fill dirt to raise or level ground and gravel when you need a stable, draining surface or a driveway base.
No. Two inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway; you need several inches of compacted structural base (gravel or crushed stone) plus compacted subgrade. If raising grade, plan 6 to 12 inches or more of appropriate compacted material and consult a contractor for local soil and drainage conditions.
Ordering larger volumes reduces per-yard cost, consolidating deliveries into a single drop and using local suppliers typically gives the best price. Check Hello Gravel for local supplier quotes, schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) to avoid rush fees, and request free delivery areas or bulk discounts when available.
Clear a turning and drop area for the dump truck, mark utilities and sensitive landscaping, and give the driver clear placement instructions in the order notes. If you need tailgate spreading, request it at checkout but expect the driver to confirm feasibility on arrival.
Yes. Altha’s local soil conditions, seasonal rainfall, and water table can affect settlement and drainage, so grade for runoff away from structures and consider drainage pipe or swales. Check Calhoun County permitting if you are changing lot grades or altering drainage, and always call 811 to locate utilities before digging.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.

No, because we are a national supplier, we utilize our existing network of suppliers across the country. Therefore, the materials will likely be delivered from a contracted trucking company.
We specialize in making the aggregate buying process as easy and seamless as possible by managing the process from end to end. We have a network of suppliers that we source the materials from where we have negotiated rates.
