Why Fleming Island Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fleming Island is home to 27,585 residents and sits inside a rapidly growing West Florida region with a metro area topping 2.5+ million people and a growth rate of 2.50% annually. With 228/year sunny days, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and a USDA hardiness zone of 8b, local yards and sites face cycles of strong sun, periodic storms, and the sandy-to-clayey soils common to the area. That combination drives steady demand for grading, foundation prep, and landscaping work that needs reliable fill to raise low spots, support patios and driveways, and prepare septic and pool pads. Both DIY homeowners and local contractors need clear specs, realistic quantity estimates, and scheduled delivery to keep projects on time and on budget.Popular Projects in Fleming Island This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fleming Island Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Fleming Island.
Fill dirt is usually less expensive per yard than topsoil because it contains little to no organic matter and is used mainly for grading and filling. In Fleming Island, prices depend on local supply and hauling costs, so check Hello Gravel for local quotes; remember our minimum order and delivery fees can affect the per-yard price.
Fill dirt is subsoil material with low organic content used to raise grade or fill holes, not for growing plants. In Florida and Fleming Island specifically, fill dirt often reflects sandy local geology and is intended for structural fill and grading rather than planting.
Yes, you can use fill dirt to regrade or level a backyard, but it should be placed in thin lifts (6-8 inches) and compacted as you go to avoid future settling. For areas where you plan to plant or establish turf, add a layer of topsoil or compost over the fill dirt to provide nutrients and rootable material.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. That covers about 54 square feet at a 6-inch depth, 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth, or 324 square feet at a 1-inch depth; choose depth based on whether you are filling, grading, or surfacing.
One cubic yard is roughly a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube, but delivered material is usually spread into a wider, lower pile for dumping. A typical tri-axle dump truck will deliver multiple cubic yards, so visually expect a modest pile that expands when spread out.
A common tri-axle dump truck carries about 10 to 14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt depending on moisture and material type. Order through Hello Gravel to get exact availability and pricing for Fleming Island—our minimum order is 3 tons and we connect you with local haulers for scheduled delivery.
Yes, you can add new soil on top of old soil or fill dirt, but if the underlying fill is compacted or sterile, roots may have trouble penetrating. For planting, place 4-8 inches of quality topsoil or topsoil plus compost over the fill dirt and consider mixing in amendments to improve drainage and fertility.
Fill dirt can help raise low spots and improve grading, but it will not improve sandy soil fertility. After using fill dirt to correct grade, add a layer of topsoil and organic matter to the surface, and consider soil amendments and regular mulching to retain moisture and support plant growth in Fleming Island's sandy conditions.
The 70/30 rule typically means mixing about 70% topsoil with 30% organic matter (compost) for planting beds. Fill dirt should not be used in this mix because it lacks organic material; use fill dirt for structural grade work, then cover with a proper topsoil/compost mix when creating planting areas.
A low-maintenance landscape starts with proper grading using fill dirt for drainage, followed by a surface layer of quality topsoil, mulch, and native or drought-tolerant plants. In Fleming Island, choose native Florida plants, use mulch to reduce watering, and avoid deep turf areas to cut maintenance needs.
Improve sandy soil gradually by adding organic matter like compost, leaf mulch, and well-rotted manure to increase water retention and nutrients. Use cover crops and regular mulching; reserve fill dirt for raising grade or correcting drainage rather than as a substitute for topsoil or soil-building materials.
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.
