Why fountainheights Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
fountainheights is a community with a city population of 12,000, located inside a metro area of 2.5+ million residents. That metro-level expansion, growing at 2.50% annually, translates into steady demand for new homes, additions, and outdoor upgrades—all of which increase the need for bulk landscape and construction materials. With a hardiness zone of 8b, 228 sunny days per year, and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall, local climate drives specific material performance requirements: long sun exposure increases UV and heat stress while seasonal rains demand good drainage and erosion control. Homeowners here are prioritizing low-maintenance landscapes, durable base materials for driveways and patios, and soils that support both plant health and stormwater management. Using quality, regionally sourced bulk materials—gravel, sand, dirt, mulch, and other aggregates—helps reduce rework, improve longevity, and ensure projects stand up to the dual pressures of sun and rain.Popular Projects in fountainheights This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - fountainheights Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in fountainheights.
Prices vary by material type, quantity, and local supplier. Use our zip-code quote tool to see current rates for gravel, sand, dirt, stone and other aggregates—orders start at 3 tons. Delivery distance, access constraints, and requested delivery date can affect the final price, so check your quote or contact our team for a tailored estimate.
Often, plain fill dirt is less expensive than topsoil because it is bulk material used to build elevation rather than support plants. Choose material based on purpose: use fill dirt for bulk grading and to raise grades, and richer topsoil mixes for planting areas where nutrients and structure matter. Local availability in West Florida and drainage needs will influence cost and the right choice for your project.
A typical tri-axle dump truck used for residential deliveries in our network carries about 10 to 12 cubic yards loose, though truck size and packing can change that. To estimate how much you need, calculate area times depth (in feet) and divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards, and add 5–10% for compaction and waste. If you prefer, use our material calculator or contact our team with your project dimensions for a quick estimate.
Standard delivery is generally allowed in 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee. Delivery fees vary by supplier, load size, access, and distance—many areas offer free delivery depending on the order and promo. You will see available delivery dates and any fees during checkout after entering your zip code.
Yes, local building, septic, and stormwater rules can dictate acceptable fill types, compaction standards, or required testing for certain projects like building pads and drainage work. You should verify requirements with your county building or environmental department and any HOA before ordering. Hello Gravel can supply materials that match common specifications, but we do not issue permits—consult your local authority or engineer for permit questions.
There are common distinctions like clean fill, screened fill, and engineered fill mixes; each serves different functions. For structural building pads you may need engineered or compactible fill specified by an engineer, while drainage areas often require freer-draining aggregates. If you are unsure, ask your contractor or engineer for specs and use our order notes or sales team to request a suitable local material.
Order a little extra (typically 5–10%) to account for compaction, settling, and measurement differences; use our material calculator to convert between cubic yards and tons for the material you choose. Changes are easier to handle before the order is processed or dispatched—contact our team as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate adjustments. Keep in mind minimum order sizes and regional availability when changing materials or quantities.
Because materials are regionally sourced, texture and color may vary from photos and between shipments. Drivers may be able to perform tailgate spreading at their discretion; you can request this service at checkout, but spreading is not guaranteed and depends on safety and site access. If appearance or placement is critical, note your preferences at checkout and contact customer service for guidance.
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.
