Why Fort Walton Beach Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Fort Walton Beach has a city population of 48,960 and sits inside a rapidly expanding West Florida metro with a metro area population of 2.5+ million and a 2.50% annual growth rate. With 228 sunny days per year, a hardiness zone of 8b, and about 34.00 inches of rain annually, homeowners here work on projects year-round but must plan for both sun exposure and coastal storms. That steady growth and active construction market drives demand for reliable, locally sourced aggregates. Homeowners need durable materials to stabilize grades, fill low spots, and prepare foundations — which makes quality fill dirt a common choice for yard re-grading, driveway approaches, and foundation backfill in Fort Walton Beach. Fill dirt is compactable subsoil used to raise elevations, fill trenches, and support hardscapes. In Fort Walton Beach’s sandy, coastal soils and with 34.00 inches of annual rain, properly compacted fill dirt helps reduce settling and keeps grades stable through wet periods; note that fill dirt is not topsoil and is selected for stability rather than planting. Hello Gravel connects homeowners with local suppliers that reflect regional geology, provides transparent pricing, and schedules dump-truck delivery with standard lead times of 2+ business days (next-day available before noon CST for an extra fee). Minimum orders start at 3 tons, and you can request tailgate spreading at checkout for the driver to assess on arrival.Popular Projects in Fort Walton Beach This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Fort Walton Beach Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Fort Walton Beach.
Delivered fill dirt in Fort Walton Beach typically ranges from $18 to $45 per cubic yard depending on local supplier, material quality, and delivery distance. Prices vary by local geology and order size, and Hello Gravel requires a minimum order (check your zip code) and will show exact delivered pricing at checkout.
A tri-axle dump truck load (about 10 to 15 cubic yards) delivered in West Florida commonly costs between $250 and $900 all-in, depending on distance, access, and supplier. Exact pricing varies by supplier and may include delivery fees or minimums; request a quote for your Fort Walton Beach address for a firm price.
Material cost for 20 cubic yards at $18 to $45/yd typically runs $360 to $900. Delivery is often included or low-cost locally, but professional spreading can add $300 to $800 depending on access and labor, so expect a total roughly between $660 and $1,700; get a site-specific estimate for a firm number.
A full-size pickup bed can usually carry about 1 to 1.5 cubic yards of loose material, so 1 cubic yard can fit, but weight limits and safe hauling must be considered. For more than a few yards or if you need material dumped in place, a dump truck delivery is safer and more efficient for Fort Walton Beach properties.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, which covers about 162 sq ft at 2" depth, 81 sq ft at 4" depth, and 54 sq ft at 6" depth. Use these numbers to estimate how many yards you need for leveling or filling in Fort Walton Beach yards.
Use fill dirt to raise grades or fill low spots because it compacts well and provides structural support, but it is not ideal as a final planting surface. For lawns and gardens in Fort Walton Beach, finish with 2 to 4 inches of topsoil or a topsoil mix on top of fill dirt; use gravel instead if you need drainage or a driveable surface.
Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil in the Fort Walton Beach area because it lacks organic matter. Buy fill dirt when your goal is grading, structural fill, or raising elevations; buy topsoil when you will be planting turf, gardens, or need a soil that supports plant growth.
Fill dirt is fine material that compacts and supports loads but does not provide the drainage or interlocking stability gravel does. For driveways or structural base work in Fort Walton Beach, use crushed stone or gravel as a base and surface; reserve fill dirt for subgrade work or raising elevations beneath the gravel base.
Two inches of gravel is not enough for a driveway in West Florida; plan on 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed stone for a stable base, with additional surface stone if desired. To estimate quantities, use the coverage numbers (1 cubic yard = 27 cu ft) and factor in compaction and local soil conditions when ordering for Fort Walton Beach.
Buying in bulk from local suppliers or quarries and scheduling truck delivery is usually the most cost-effective option in Fort Walton Beach. Use Hello Gravel to compare local supplier pricing, check for free or low-cost delivery options, and schedule the delivery window that works for your project.

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.
