Fill Dirt in Dunnellon, FL

Typical delivered prices for basic un-screened fill dirt in the Dunnellon/West Florida area usually fall in the range of about $12 to $35 per cubic yard. Final price depends on screening, moisture content, distance from the pit, and whether spreading/compaction is included. For a firm quote, check your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local supplier estimate.

A standard tri-axle dump truck in this area commonly carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. Delivered cost for one truckload often ranges from roughly $150 to $450, depending on haul distance, material type, and local demand. Hello Gravel lists a 3-ton minimum and can show truck and price options when you enter your address.

For a 20-ft long by 10-ft wide driveway (200 sq ft): 2" depth needs about 1.2 cubic yards, 4" needs about 2.5 cubic yards, and 6" needs about 3.7 cubic yards. At local delivered material prices ($12-$35/cy) the material cost would be roughly $15 to $130, and installed costs (delivery plus spreading/compaction labor) typically run higher—expect total job costs from about $150 to $600 depending on site access and contractor rates. If you plan to drive on it, budget for proper base rock and compaction rather than just fill dirt.

Material-only, basic fill dirt is usually cheaper per cubic yard than crushed stone or gravel. However, for a driveway in West Florida's wet climate, gravel or crushed stone is the more appropriate structural choice because it drains and locks together; when you include the extra work and materials needed to make fill dirt traffic-ready, gravel can be more cost-effective long term. We recommend choosing materials based on function, not just upfront price.

Fill dirt can be compacted, but it often contains organic matter or a high sand fraction in West Florida that makes it less stable for sustained vehicular traffic. For driveways, a crushed stone base with geotextile and proper compaction is the safer choice; if you must use fill dirt, have it screened, compact in lifts, and consider a structural layer of crushed stone on top. Ask suppliers about engineered fill if the surface must carry vehicles.

Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons, and many local suppliers offer free delivery in nearby zones, while longer hauls may carry a delivery charge that commonly ranges from $0 to $150+. Standard delivery times are 2+ business days, with a next-day option available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Drivers use tri-axle dump trucks and tailgate spreading may be available at the driver's discretion—request it at checkout but expect assessment on arrival.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. At 2" (0.167 ft) it covers about 162 sq ft, at 4" (0.333 ft) about 81 sq ft, and at 6" (0.5 ft) about 54 sq ft. Use these figures to estimate quantities, and add 10-20% for settlement and compaction when ordering.

Lowest-cost options include local pickup from a supplier, taking advantage of recycled or construction-site reclaimed fill when available, or hiring a contractor who sources wholesale truckloads. Be cautious with reclaimed material—verify it is free of debris and contaminants and acceptable for your intended use. Hello Gravel can show local supplier options and pricing so you can compare pickup, delivered, screened, and recycled material choices.

Yes, many Dunnellon-area suppliers offer screened or clean fill dirt; screening removes rocks, roots, and large debris and produces a more uniform material for landscaping and tight compaction. Screened fill typically costs more—often 10% to 30% higher—than un-screened bulk fill, but it gives better results for planting beds, graded areas, and sites that will receive sod or pavement. Note regional variations: Florida fill may still be sandy or clayey depending on source.

Suppliers will need your delivery address or zip code, desired delivery date, the exact drop location and access details (gate width, overhead wires, driveway turn), how many cubic yards you need, whether you want screened material, and whether you require tailgate spreading or compaction. Photos of the site and notes about permits, steep slopes, or fragile landscaping speed up accurate quotes; Hello Gravel's checkout asks for these details to connect you with the right local hauler.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
