Fill Dirt in Jasper, FL

Fill dirt is usually cheaper per ton than gravel because it is less processed. Local factors in Jasper, FL, such as supplier availability and delivery distance, can affect the final price. For an exact local price, request a quote from Hello Gravel for your zip code.

Fill dirt is primarily subsoil used to raise or level ground; it contains little organic matter and compacts well. Gravel is crushed rock used for drainage and structural bases. Use fill dirt to build up grade and gravel where drainage and load-bearing are needed.

Prices vary by supplier and delivery distance, but fill dirt in Florida commonly ranges from about $8 to $25 per ton. Costs depend on factors like moisture, screening, truck access, and whether spreading or compaction is needed. Contact Hello Gravel for a precise, location-specific quote.

First decide the desired depth. For example, 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches requires about 6.2 cubic yards, which is roughly 8–10 tons of fill dirt; at 3 inches it is about 9.3 cubic yards or 12–14 tons. Use the cubic yard formula (area x depth / 27) and ask Hello Gravel if you want help converting to tons for Jasper.

A common tri-axle dump truck used in our network carries roughly 10–14 cubic yards, which may equal about 7–12 tons of fill dirt depending on moisture and compaction. The cost for a truckload equals the material price times tons plus delivery; final price varies by supplier and distance. Request a truckload quote through Hello Gravel for exact local pricing and truck type options.

You can put gravel over fill dirt, but the fill dirt must be properly prepared first. Remove loose topsoil and organic material, place fill in 4–6 inch lifts and compact each lift, then add a compacted crushed stone base before the gravel surface. In Jasper's rainy climate, ensuring good drainage and proper compaction is especially important.

Yes, fill dirt is commonly used to raise and level yards in Jasper, especially on low or uneven lots. Best practice is to remove the top organic layer, add fill in thin lifts (4–6 inches) with compaction between lifts, and allow time for settlement before planting or installing hardscape. Check for utility lines and local grading or septic rules before starting work.

Calculate the volume needed (area x depth) and convert to cubic yards (divide by 27), then convert cubic yards to tons using your supplier's conversion. As an example, a 20 ft by 12 ft area at 6 inches depth is about 4.4 cubic yards (roughly 6–8 tons); multiply tons by the local per-ton price and add delivery. For a precise local estimate for Jasper, request a quote from Hello Gravel with your project dimensions.

No, 2 inches is generally too thin for a driveway subbase. For stability you should have at least 4–6 inches of compacted fill dirt (or engineered fill) beneath a properly compacted gravel base, and then 3–4 inches of compacted gravel on top. Thicker, compacted layers reduce settling and rutting, especially with Florida's seasonal rain.

Measure the length and width of the area and decide the required depth in feet, then use: cubic yards = (length x width x depth) / 27. To convert to tons, multiply cubic yards by your supplier's weight-per-cubic-yard figure (a common estimate is about 1.2–1.5 tons per cubic yard for fill dirt).

Permitting depends on the scope of the work. Small landscaping fills usually do not need permits, but raising building pads, changing drainage, or altering wetlands or contours may require permits or county approval. Check with Jasper city hall or Hamilton County planning and building departments, and consult Hello Gravel if you need vendor documentation for permits.

Some settlement happens immediately, but long-term settlement can occur over months and sometimes up to a year depending on how the material was placed and compacted. Proper compaction in lifts reduces settlement time; allow additional settling time before building structures or laying final pavement. If you need a build-ready pad quickly, consider engineered fill and professional compaction testing.

Yes. North Florida sites like Jasper often have sandy soils, a high water table in some areas, and seasonal heavy rains, so drainage and compaction are top concerns. Fill dirt sourced locally will reflect regional geology, so discuss intended use with suppliers to ensure the material and placement method suit your project's needs. Hello Gravel can match local fill options and recommend delivery and placement approaches for Jasper projects.
