Why City Center Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
City Center is a fast-growing community with a city population of 250,000 and a metro area population of 2.5+ million, expanding at a growth rate of 2.50% annually. With a warm coastal climate in hardiness zone 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, local homeowners are seeing steady demand for grading, foundation preparation, and yard regrading projects as neighborhoods expand and properties are improved. That pace of development drives the need for reliable aggregates: quality fill materials help achieve proper elevations, control erosion, and create stable bases for driveways, retaining walls, and landscape beds—especially where new construction or additions change site drainage and load conditions. Fill dirt is coarse, low-organic soil used to raise grades and support structural fills; in City Center, it performs well when placed and compacted to manage runoff from 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and the area’s sandy coastal soils. Using locally sourced fill dirt reduces variability and matches regional geology, while proper placement in 4–8 inch lifts and compaction minimizes future settling. Hello Gravel connects homeowners to trusted local suppliers and haul fleets, offers transparent pricing and scheduled dump-truck delivery, and provides calculators and expert guidance so you get the right quantity and timing for your City Center fill dirt project.Popular Projects in City Center This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - City Center Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in City Center.
Prices vary by supplier, haul distance, and truck size in West Florida. Expect a single tri-axle dump truck (about 10-16 cubic yards) to cost broadly between $300 and $1,200 delivered, depending on local rates and how much material you need. Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons and offers standard delivery in 2+ business days, with next-day available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it has low organic content and is used for structural filling and grading rather than plant growth. In City Center you will usually pay less per cubic yard for fill dirt, but remember you should add a layer of topsoil for any lawn or garden areas that will support plants.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, roughly a cube 3 feet on each side, or a pile about 3 feet high covering 9 square feet at that height. When spread out it will cover a larger area at a shallower depth (for example, one cubic yard covers about 108 square feet at 3 inches deep).
Fill dirt in West Florida typically contains native sand, subsoil clays, and sometimes small shell or limestone fragments from the local geology. It usually has little organic material, so it is good for building up grades and stabilizing ground but not for planting without adding topsoil or compost.
The volume of 20 tons depends on moisture and compaction, but in West Florida fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons per cubic yard. That means 20 tons is roughly 12 to 17 cubic yards, which will cover about 648 to 918 square feet at 3 inches deep or about 324 to 459 square feet at 6 inches deep.
Most standard pickup beds cannot safely carry a full cubic yard without overflowing; a full cubic yard is bulky and heavy. For small orders, consider local delivery via Hello Gravel where dump trucks handle volume and disposal without overloading your vehicle.
Local prices vary with supplier, haul distance, and material quality, but a realistic ballpark in West Florida is about $15 to $60 per cubic yard delivered. For 20 cubic yards you might expect to pay roughly $300 to $1,200, though we recommend getting a quote through Hello Gravel for an exact price.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and regrade yards before landscaping or installing patios in West Florida. After using fill dirt to build the grade, add 4 to 6 inches of topsoil where you plan to plant grass or gardens, and compact the fill in layers to reduce settlement.
Spread fill dirt in 4-6 inch lifts, water lightly, and compact each layer before adding the next to reduce future settling. For larger areas in City Center, use a plate compactor or roller and check grades with a level or string line; ask about contractor referrals if you need professional compaction.
A 40-pound bag of soil or topsoil is usually about 0.5 to 0.75 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) equals roughly 36 to 54 40-pound bags. This shows why bulk delivery is almost always more practical for projects larger than a few bags.
One cubic yard is about 18 to 20 standard wheelbarrow loads, depending on the size of your wheelbarrow and how full you load it. For big jobs in City Center, a delivered dump truck saves time and heavy lifting.
No, 2 inches of topsoil is generally not enough to establish a healthy lawn. In West Florida you should aim for 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil over your fill dirt for seeding or sod, with adequate watering and soil preparation.
The 70/30 rule usually refers to mixing soil media for containers (for example, 70% topsoil and 30% compost) and is not appropriate for fill dirt. For grading and structural fills in City Center use clean fill dirt compacted in lifts, then add a separate topsoil/compost layer for planting as needed.
West Florida soils are often sandy and sometimes calcareous, with pockets of clay or shell material depending on the site. That means local fill dirt tends to drain well but may settle more than heavier soils; proper compaction and using the right topsoil for planting are important steps for lasting results.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

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.
