Why Florida City Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Florida City is home to 12,854 residents and sits within a West Florida area whose metro region counts 2.5+ million people. With a steady growth rate of 2.50% annually, demand for new builds, yard renovations, and drainage improvements is rising. The local climate — 228 sunny days per year, an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches, and Hardiness Zone 8b — affects how soil behaves and what materials perform best. Homeowners here often face sandy native soils, occasional heavy rain, and intense sun, so reliable aggregates are essential to protect foundations, level yards, and control erosion. That’s why quality fill dirt is commonly specified for grading, backfilling, and creating a stable subgrade before installing patios, driveways, and landscaping features.Popular Projects in Florida City This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Florida City Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Florida City.
Fill dirt is subsoil with little organic matter used to raise or level ground, not for planting. In Florida City you’ll often see sandy, limestone-influenced fill that drains quickly but sits over a high water table, so expect faster drainage and variable compaction compared with inland soils.
A typical tri-axle dump truck load (about 10–12 cubic yards loose) in Florida City usually runs in the range of $300 to $900 delivered, depending on load size, site access, and moisture. Exact pricing varies by supplier and your ZIP code, so get a quote through Hello Gravel to see local rates and minimums (3 tons minimum applies).
Delivered fill dirt prices in Florida City commonly fall between about $30 and $70 per cubic yard, or roughly $25 to $50 per ton, depending on moisture content, hauling distance, and job size. Prices can vary by supplier and region, so check your ZIP code on our site or request a local quote for a firm price.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it contains little organic material and requires less processing. If you plan to grow plants or lay sod, you will usually need to cap fill dirt with topsoil or compost, which increases total cost.
Many consumer pickup trucks cannot safely carry a full cubic yard of fill dirt because of the weight; 1 cubic yard of fill dirt typically weighs about 1.2 to 1.6 tons (2,400 to 3,200 lbs) depending on moisture and compaction. Smaller trucks may handle a half-yard or less; for larger amounts Hello Gravel delivery by dump truck is safer and more practical.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and looks roughly like a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft pile if boxed. Spread out, 1 cubic yard covers about 81 sq ft at a 4-inch depth (or about 54 sq ft at 6 inches), so use that to estimate how many yards you need for leveling or fill.
A standard contractor wheelbarrow holds about 5 to 6 cubic feet, so 1 cubic yard (27 cu ft) is roughly 4 to 6 wheelbarrow loads. The exact number depends on your wheelbarrow size and how full you load each pass.
Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise or level grades, but it must be placed in thin layers and compacted to avoid future settling. In Florida City, check drainage and the high water table; poorly compacted fill can lead to uneven settling or drainage issues in rainy seasons.
Not usually. Sod needs a friable, nutrient-rich top layer to root, so we recommend capping fill dirt with 4 to 6 inches of topsoil or compost before installing sod. Also ensure proper compaction and surface grading so water drains away from structures.
Order online by entering your ZIP code and selecting Fill Dirt, choose quantity (tons or yards) and a delivery date, then checkout; we partner with local suppliers and contracted dump truck haulers. Standard delivery is 2+ business days; next-day may be available before noon CST for an extra fee, and tailgate spreading can be requested but is at the driver’s discretion.
Possibly. Changing grades can affect stormwater and flood elevations; Florida City and Miami-Dade County may require permits for major grade changes or work in regulated areas. Always check local zoning, HOA rules, and FEMA flood-zone restrictions before placing large volumes of fill.
Multiply area (sq ft) by desired depth (ft) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For example, raising 1,000 sq ft by 6 inches (0.5 ft) is 1,000 x 0.5 = 500 cu ft, which is about 18.5 cubic yards; multiply cubic yards by about 1.3 to estimate tons, depending on local moisture and compaction.
Fill dirt is fine-grained subsoil used to build up or level land; gravel is crushed rock used for drainage, driveways, and stabilization. Use fill dirt to raise grade or fill low spots, and use gravel where you need load-bearing, drainage, or a finished surface like a driveway.
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.
