Fill Dirt in Daytona Shores, FL

Yes. Fill-dirt is usually cheaper per yard than decorative gravel because it is less processed and often sourced locally for site work. In Daytona Shores expect fill-dirt prices to be lower than landscape gravels, though exact rates vary by supplier and delivery distance.

In Daytona Shores, delivered fill-dirt typically falls in a range depending on source and moisture: expect roughly $15 to $45 per cubic yard as a guideline. Prices vary with availability, truck access, and whether the dirt contains sand, clay, or organics.

One cubic yard of fill-dirt commonly weighs about 1.2 to 1.5 tons, depending on moisture and composition. Wet or clay-rich fill will be heavier, while loose sandy fill will be lighter.

Coverage depends on the depth you want. As an example, one ton (about 0.7 to 0.8 cubic yards) will cover roughly 80 square feet at a 3-inch depth or about 40 square feet at a 6-inch depth.

Hello Gravel typically uses tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt per load. Smaller local trucks or larger end-dumps can vary, so confirm exact capacity when you request a quote.

Cost depends on yards needed and per-yard pricing; for a 10-yard load, expect a ballpark of $150 to $450 for material plus possible delivery fees. Final price depends on supplier rates, truck access, and any disposal or staging requirements.

Volume-wise, one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) can fit inside many full-size pickup beds, but weight is the limiting factor. Because one yard can weigh over 2,000 pounds, it may exceed a pickup's payload rating, so check your truck's payload before loading.

It depends on the wheelbarrow size. A typical homeowner wheelbarrow around 3 cubic feet requires about nine trips to move one cubic yard, while a larger contractor wheelbarrow around 6 cubic feet needs about four to five trips.

Yes, buying fill-dirt in bulk is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than buying bagged material for larger projects. Bulk delivery via dump truck reduces handling cost and is more economical for projects that need several cubic yards or more.

Hourly rates for experienced landscapers or equipment operators can range widely; $100 per hour is on the high end but not uncommon for skilled operators with equipment. Many contractors instead price spreading and compacting per cubic yard or offer flat rates for a job, so get multiple quotes and ask what the rate includes.

No. Mixing fill-dirt and gravel to mimic concrete is not a reliable substitute—proper concrete requires cement and controlled mix for strength. Fill-dirt is fine for raising grade or as a base when compacted, but it will not provide the load-bearing performance of concrete for footings or driveways.

Ten yards of fill-dirt is 10 cubic yards; using the local price range of about $15 to $45 per cubic yard, material cost would typically be $150 to $450 before delivery or fees. Confirm truck capacity and site access because delivery charges or offloading needs can affect the final price.

A 7x14 dump trailer with typical 2-foot side height holds roughly 6 to 8 cubic yards of loose fill-dirt. Exact capacity varies with side height and whether you allow spillage over the sides, so measure your trailer and consider legal weight limits.

Yes. Daytona Shores is coastal with a high water table and flood-prone areas, so choose clean, non-organic fill and plan for proper compaction and drainage. Check local permitting and elevation requirements before raising grade near the shoreline or in FEMA flood zones.
