Why DeLand Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
DeLand has a population of 68,287 and is part of a fast-growing West Florida region with a 2.50% annual growth rate. The local climate sits in hardiness zone 8b, with 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, which supports year-round outdoor work but also creates seasonal wet periods that affect grading and drainage. That mix of steady growth and favorable weather has driven demand for reliable site preparation materials: homeowners and contractors need fill materials that compact well, resist excessive settling, and provide a stable base for lawns, patios, and foundations. Sourcing the right aggregate can speed projects and reduce rework as yards are regraded, new driveways are installed, or landscaping beds are built out. In DeLand's climate, Fill Dirt is commonly used to raise low spots, support hardscape subgrades, and backfill around foundations where good compaction and consistent texture matter. Given 34.00 inches of annual rainfall and frequent sunny drying periods, choosing locally sourced Fill Dirt that matches regional soil conditions helps control settling and drainage. Hello Gravel connects DeLand homeowners with vetted local suppliers and professional haulers, offering transparent pricing, scheduled delivery, and regional materials so your Fill Dirt arrives on time and suited to local conditions.Popular Projects in DeLand This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - DeLand Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in DeLand.
In West Florida around DeLand, bulk fill dirt typically runs about $10–$30 per cubic yard delivered, depending on supplier, haul distance, and moisture/compaction. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and may charge extra for next-day delivery or long hauls. Contact our team for an exact quote for your zip code.
Yes. Fill dirt is usually cheaper because it contains little organic material and is intended for grading and structural fill, while topsoil contains organic matter and is screened for planting surfaces. If you need to grow grass or plants, you will likely add topsoil or amendments on top of fill dirt.
One cubic yard is a cube 3 feet on each side (27 cubic feet). Visually, it will cover about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth, or form a pile roughly the size of a small compact car trunk when heaped.
Topsoil is screened soil rich in organic matter suited for planting and lawns, while fill dirt is subsoil with few nutrients used to raise or level grade. Use fill dirt for structural fill and grading, then add a topsoil layer if you plan to grow turf or plants.
Typical tri-axle dump trucks used in our network carry about 10–12 cubic yards loose. Cost per truck varies by local supplier and distance; many customers pay per cubic yard, but for large jobs there may be a flat truck delivery fee — request a Hello Gravel quote to see exact pricing for DeLand.
A standard full-size pickup bed can usually hold about 1 cubic yard loose, but payload capacity (weight limits) often restricts how much you can safely haul. Check your truck's payload rating and local weight laws before loading; for most DeLand jobs we recommend delivery by dump truck for safety and convenience.
Using a typical local range of $10–$30 per cubic yard, 20 cubic yards of fill dirt would cost roughly $200–$600 delivered, not including any special fees for tight access or next-day service. Exact cost depends on supplier, distance, and whether you need spreading or extra handling.
Yes — fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and correct grade, but it should be placed in thin lifts (4–6 inches) and compacted to avoid future settling. In DeLand's sandy soils and humid climate, plan for good drainage, finish the surface with topsoil for lawns, and check for county permitting if you significantly change site elevations.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet; with a typical 3-cubic-foot wheelbarrow that is about 9 wheelbarrows. Wheelbarrow sizes vary, so the range is roughly 6–10 loads depending on your barrow.
A 40 lb bag is usually about 0.5–0.75 cubic feet depending on the product, so you would need roughly 36–54 bags to equal one cubic yard. Bagged fill dirt is rarely sold in bulk and is more expensive per cubic yard than delivered bulk material.
Yes. Bulk delivered fill dirt is far more cost-effective per cubic yard than equivalent bagged material because you avoid packaging and handling costs. For any job larger than a few cubic feet in DeLand, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is usually the better value.
Coverage depends on depth: one cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at 4 inches, about 108 square feet at 3 inches, and about 54 square feet at 6 inches. Choose depth based on whether you are rough-filling versus finishing for turf or planting.
Fill dirt generally lacks organic matter and nutrients, so plants and grass will struggle if placed directly on it. To establish a lawn in DeLand, spread 3–6 inches of quality topsoil or amend the surface and test drainage before seeding or sodding.
Mark the delivery area, check for underground utilities, remove loose vegetation, and create a clear truck access path. Place fill in thin lifts and compact as you go, prevent runoff into storm drains, and contact Volusia County if you plan large fills or changes near wetlands; our team can advise on logistics and permits.
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.
