Why Buckingham Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Buckingham has a city population of 4,289 and sits within a metro area population of 2.5+ million that is growing steadily at 2.50% annually. In this warm, sunny region—with 228/year sunny days, 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, and hardiness zone 8b—homeowners and builders must balance strong sun exposure with occasional heavy rains when planning grading and landscaping work. That steady growth is driving demand for residential grading, foundation backfill, and yard-leveling projects, all of which depend on consistent, well-graded fill dirt. Homeowners seek quality aggregates to minimize settlement, control erosion, and create stable bases for patios, driveways, and planted areas, so using locally sourced materials that reflect Buckingham's soil and climate conditions is important for long-term performance. Fill Dirt suits Buckingham's environment because it compacts well and provides a stable mass to build grades that shed water during the area's 34.00 inches of annual rainfall while holding up under frequent sun. Locally sourced fill dirt typically contains the fines and heavier particles needed to compact and support structures for backyard grading, utility trenches, and foundation backfill. Hello Gravel makes it simple to get the right material by connecting you with trusted local suppliers and haulers, offering online ordering, clear pricing, and scheduled delivery (standard 2+ business days, next-day available for orders placed before noon CST) so your project can proceed with predictable timing and materials that match local conditions.Popular Projects in Buckingham This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Buckingham Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Buckingham.
Prices vary by supplier, but typical delivered fill dirt in West Florida (Buckingham area) runs roughly $12 to $30 per cubic yard; a full tri-axle dump truck usually carries about 9–12 cubic yards. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (see checkout) and offers free delivery in many areas; next-day delivery and small-lot orders can add fees. Final cost depends on local availability, truck access at the delivery site, and whether spreading is requested.
Fill dirt is usually less expensive per cubic yard than crushed gravel because it is an unprocessed soil product. However, gravel performs better for stable, load-bearing surfaces (like driveways), so gravel can be the more cost-effective choice for those use cases when you factor in compaction and longevity.
Fill dirt is fine-grained soil used to raise grade or fill holes, while gravel is angular rock used for drainage and structural support. For a driveway you typically use compacted fill dirt to achieve grade, then a compacted gravel base on top for load-bearing and drainage—using only fill dirt as the driving surface will lead to rutting and drainage issues.
Costs depend on driveway width and thickness, but as an example a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway raised 4 inches requires about 12.4 cubic yards of material for that layer. Material and delivery for a fill-dirt base plus 3–4 inches of compacted gravel typically range widely ($800 to $4,000) depending on material choice, number of truckloads, compaction, and local contractor rates—contact Hello Gravel for an itemized quote for Buckingham.
To raise 1,000 sq ft by 4 inches you need roughly 12.4 cubic yards (1,000 x 4/12 / 27). Delivery costs vary—Hello Gravel often offers free delivery in many West Florida areas, but if a delivery fee applies expect it to be a per-truck charge; get a specific delivery price at checkout by entering your Buckingham zip code.
Yes—compaction is recommended in Buckingham to reduce settlement and improve load-bearing capacity, especially for driveways or structures. DIY compaction with a rented plate compactor can cost about $50–$120 per day, while hiring a contractor with a roller or skid steer typically ranges from $300 to $1,000 per day depending on machine and site access; get local quotes for precise pricing.
You can put gravel over existing firm, well-drained soil, but if the native dirt is soft, uneven, or has poor drainage you should add and compact fill dirt or engineered base first. In West Florida the native soils can be sandy or have seasonal high water tables, so proper grading, compaction, and often a geotextile fabric are recommended to prevent mixing and rutting.
Fill dirt is intended for structural fill and often lacks organic matter needed for lawns; for a healthy lawn in Buckingham you should add 2–4 inches of topsoil or amend the fill dirt, then seed or sod. Also consider local warm-season grass varieties and schedule seeding in appropriate warm-season windows for best establishment.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft volume. Typical tri-axle dump trucks used in Hello Gravel deliveries carry about 9–12 cubic yards loose; smaller dump trucks carry less. Hello Gravel’s minimum order starts at 3 tons (see checkout), and delivery minimums and small-order fees vary by supplier and location—enter your Buckingham zip code to see exact minimums and pricing.
Hello Gravel coordinates delivery from local suppliers; drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion if requested at checkout, but spreading, grading, and compaction beyond that are not guaranteed and usually handled by local contractors. Typical contractor rates for spreading/grading/compaction in West Florida range from $50–$150 per hour for labor or $300–$1,000+ per day for machine work; contact Hello Gravel to request spreading and ask for referrals to local crews in Buckingham.
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.
