Fill Dirt in Hollywood, FL

Prices for fill dirt in Hollywood and the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro vary by supplier, quantity, and local availability; typical bulk ranges are roughly $10-$35 per cubic yard or $8-$25 per ton, with lower unit prices as quantities increase. Final cost depends on your zip code, delivery distance, and whether you need screening, contamination removal, or testing; use Hello Gravel’s online quote tool or contact our sales team for an exact, up-to-date price.

Yes — suppliers in our network commonly deliver 20–100 cubic yards by tri-axle dump truck to residential sites in Hollywood, but tailgate spreading is offered only at the driver’s discretion and is not guaranteed. Expect delivery fees to reflect distance and access (many areas qualify for free delivery, others have a modest charge), and if spreading is available there may be an extra fee; request spreading at checkout and note driveway or access constraints in your order notes.

Some suppliers and third-party labs can provide compaction reports, proctor tests, or basic soil analyses required for permits in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, but not every fill dirt load includes certification by default. Testing and certified reports are extra and typically cost several hundred dollars depending on test type and turnaround time; confirm requirements with your building department and tell our team so we can coordinate a supplier or lab that provides the needed documentation.

Yes — fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is intended for mass grading and structural fill rather than planting; use fill dirt to build grades or raise areas, and use topsoil only where you plan to establish turf or plantings. Most suppliers we work with can supply both materials on the same delivery or schedule separate drops, so request combined quotes to compare material and delivery costs side-by-side.

Standard lead time is typically 2+ business days, but during South Florida’s wet season (roughly June through October) and busy construction periods you should allow extra time for scheduling and potential access delays. Next-day delivery may be available if you place orders before the posted cutoff, but plan for possible truck rescheduling due to weather or site conditions and contact our team early to lock in dates.

To raise 2,000 square feet by 6 inches (0.5 foot) you need 2,000 x 0.5 = 1,000 cubic feet, which equals about 37.0 cubic yards (divide by 27). We recommend ordering 5-10% extra (so about 39-41 cubic yards) to allow for compaction and settlement; Hello Gravel can provide a final quantity check when you request an on-site quote.

Some suppliers can deliver compaction-ready fill dirt (engineered or clean fill) but actual mechanical compaction is usually performed by contractors with plate compactors or rollers rather than dump-truck operators. If you need compacted lifts or density reports, tell us up front so we can match you with suppliers or subcontractors who offer fill material to spec and recommend local compaction crews if needed.

Yes — Broward County and the City of Hollywood have permitting, grading, and stormwater rules that can affect finished elevations, drainage plans, erosion control, and runoff. Check with the Hollywood Building and Permitting Division and Broward County before ordering to confirm required permits, allowable fill heights, and any erosion-control measures; our team can help you identify when permits might be needed.

Yes — many suppliers provide contractor pricing, volume discounts, and account billing for repeat commercial customers in the Miami metro area. Contact Hello Gravel’s sales team to set up contractor pricing, request net terms, or negotiate volume pricing for ongoing projects; we can route your order to suppliers that accommodate contractor accounts.

Absolutely — Hello Gravel can provide side-by-side quotes for fill dirt, base gravel, and other aggregates so you can compare unit price, delivery, and any additional services like spreading or compaction. When requesting quotes, include the project details (area, desired finished elevation, and whether you need compaction) so suppliers can recommend the correct material and quantity.

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.
