Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper per cubic yard than gravel because it is less processed and often locally available. Regional factors in West Florida, like sandy native soils and hauling distance, can affect the difference, so check local pricing on Hello Gravel for exact comparisons.

One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet. That covers about 324 square feet at 1 inch deep, 81 square feet at 4 inches deep, or 54 square feet at 6 inches deep, so pick the depth you need to estimate coverage for your fountainheights project.

A cubic yard is a 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft cube in volume, but when dumped it usually forms a low mound a few feet high and several feet across. Expect a loose pile roughly 4–8 ft in diameter and 2–4 ft high depending on moisture and compaction.

It depends on the driveway width and how much you need to raise it. For example, a 100 ft by 10 ft driveway raised 3 inches requires about 9.3 cubic yards (100 x 10 x 0.25 ft = 250 cu ft = 9.26 cu yd). Use Hello Gravel's material calculator or contact our team for a tailored estimate.

A 10-yard delivery price depends on material cleanliness, site access, and distance, but in fountainheights you can generally expect a delivered 10-yard load to fall in the $200–$700 range. Request a quote on Hello Gravel to see exact pricing and available suppliers near you.

It depends on the depth. For 1,000 sq ft: 2 inches = about 6.2 cubic yards, 4 inches = about 12.3 cubic yards, and 6 inches = about 18.5 cubic yards. Multiply by local unit prices or request a Hello Gravel quote for cost estimates in fountainheights.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise low spots and regrade yards, but it is not suitable as a final planting surface. In West Florida you should place and compact fill dirt, then cover with 4–6 inches of topsoil before planting grass or gardens to ensure proper nutrients and drainage.

Weight varies by moisture and composition; 10 cubic yards of fill dirt typically weigh about 12–15 tons for sandy soils common in West Florida. Cost will vary, but expect a delivered range roughly matching local 10-yard pricing—request a Hello Gravel quote for an exact delivered price and weight estimate.

Most standard pickup beds cannot safely carry a full cubic yard when loaded above the bed rails; a typical pickup will carry about 1/2 to 3/4 cubic yard safely depending on truck size and weight limits. For larger volumes or to avoid overloading your vehicle, order bulk delivery by dump truck through Hello Gravel.

Five cubic yards equals 135 cubic feet. That covers about 1,620 sq ft at 1 inch deep, 810 sq ft at 2 inches, 540 sq ft at 3 inches, or 270 sq ft at 6 inches; choose the depth that matches your fountainheights project to calculate coverage.

Yes, bulk fill dirt delivered by the truck is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than buying the same volume in 40–50 lb bags because bagging and retail handling add cost. For larger jobs in West Florida, bulk delivery through Hello Gravel is usually the more economical and faster option.

A rough rule of thumb is one cubic yard is roughly equivalent to about 54 50-lb bags, though bag volume varies by manufacturer and moisture. For fill dirt specifically, buying in bulk by the cubic yard is simpler and typically cheaper for fountainheights projects.

No, 2 inches of topsoil over fill dirt is usually insufficient for establishing a healthy lawn. In fountainheights you should plan for 4–6 inches of quality topsoil over the fill dirt to give grass roots room and access to nutrients; compact the fill first and then spread topsoil for seeding or sod.

A typical wheelbarrow holds about 3–4 cubic feet, so one cubic yard (27 cubic feet) is about 7–9 wheelbarrow loads. For most yard projects in West Florida it's faster and cheaper to order bulk fill dirt delivered by dump truck rather than moving large volumes by wheelbarrow.

West Florida tends to have sandy native soils, a high water table in low areas, and occasional clay pockets; these factors affect drainage and compaction. When using fill dirt locally, consider compaction, erosion control during rainy seasons, and finishing with topsoil for planting; contact Hello Gravel for material options suited to fountainheights conditions.
