Why Dinsmore Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Dinsmore has a city population of 1,000 and sits inside a growing regional market with a metro area population of 2.5+ million and a 2.50% annual growth rate. That growth, combined with a hardiness zone of 8b, about 228 sunny days per year, and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, drives steady demand for grading, foundation backfill, septic pad work, and yard regrading. Homeowners and small contractors need dependable aggregates to manage surface runoff, create buildable pads, and fix low spots before landscaping. Fill Dirt is the practical choice for structural fills where topsoil would compress or rot away — it establishes a stable, compactable subgrade for sheds, patios, driveways, and small additions, reducing the risk of settlement and rework as properties are developed or renovated.Popular Projects in Dinsmore This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Dinsmore Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Dinsmore.
Fill dirt prices in Dinsmore typically vary based on supplier, haul distance, and moisture, but expect a rough range of $8 to $25 per ton delivered. Exact pricing is shown in our checkout after you enter your zip code; local factors like seasonal demand and truck access can affect the final rate.
Fill dirt is subsoil with minimal organic matter used to raise grade, fill holes, or create building pads. In Dinsmore you would use it for grading, yard leveling, or under foundations, but always cap it with topsoil for planting and plan for compaction and drainage due to West Florida rainfall patterns.
Our typical delivery trucks are tri-axle dump trucks that usually carry about 10 to 14 cubic yards of fill dirt, depending on moisture and local weight limits. That equals roughly 12 to 18 tons in practice, so we'll confirm capacity and pricing when you place the order.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than gravel because it requires less processing and screening. Local market conditions in Dinsmore can change prices, so check our site for up-to-date quotes and compare materials side by side.
Fill dirt is fine-grained subsoil used to build up or level ground; gravel is a coarse, crushed stone used for drainage and structural bases. Use fill dirt to change elevation and soil volume, and use gravel where drainage or a stable driving surface is required.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft pile (27 cubic feet) and covers about 100 sq ft at roughly 3.25 inches deep, or 324 sq ft at 1 inch deep. Visualize roughly a medium-sized kitchen stove worth of material for each cubic yard.
Because density varies with moisture, one ton of fill dirt is about 0.6 to 0.8 cubic yards; expect it to cover roughly 200 to 260 sq ft at a 1-inch depth or about 70 to 85 sq ft at a 3-inch depth. We recommend ordering a little extra to allow for compaction and settlement after delivery.
No, 2 inches is usually too thin for permanent grading or any driveway base; for yards you should plan for at least 4 inches of fill with proper compaction, and for driveways a compacted structural base of 6 inches or more using the appropriate base material is typical. Dinsmore's wet climate means you should also factor in drainage and compaction between lifts.
Fill dirt is not a planting medium because it lacks organic matter and nutrients; for garden beds in Dinsmore, use good topsoil or a mix of topsoil and compost. The 70/30 rule (percentages vary by gardener) typically applies to potting or soil mixes, but for in-ground beds a common approach is to cap fill with 6 to 12 inches of quality topsoil amended with compost rather than relying on fill dirt alone.
The most cost-effective option is to order bulk material through a local supplier with nearby stock to minimize haul distance; Hello Gravel helps by connecting you to local suppliers and showing transparent delivery pricing. Also compare delivery dates, request standard rather than expedited delivery, and make sure your site has clear truck access to avoid extra fees.
Small grading jobs usually do not require a permit, but larger fills or changes to drainage may need local approvals—check with Dinsmore/West Florida local authorities. Before delivery, mark the drop area, remove obstacles, and tell us about tight access; plan for compaction and a topsoil cap where you will landscape or plant.
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.
