Why Key Largo Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Key Largo has a population of 12,650 and sits within a fast-growing regional market with a 3.20% annual growth rate. The area’s climate — about 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.00 inches in a USDA hardiness zone 8b — drives steady demand for reliable site-preparation materials. Homeowners and local contractors are often reshaping yards, raising low spots, and protecting coastal properties from erosion and poor drainage. That steady development and the unique coastal geography means many projects need dependable, low-organic fill material to create stable grade, improve drainage, and prepare building pads or hardscape foundations. Fill dirt is a practical choice in Key Largo’s conditions because it’s a clean, low-organic soil used for raising grades, backfilling trenches, and providing a stable base before compaction and final surfacing. In a climate with 34.00 inches of rain and strong sun, properly placed and compacted fill dirt reduces settling and erosion risk compared with organic topsoil. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and professional haulers to deliver quality fill dirt on a schedule that fits your project; minimum orders start at 3 tons and deliveries arrive by dump truck with optional tailgate spreading at the driver’s discretion.Popular Projects in Key Largo This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Key Largo Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Key Largo.
Fill dirt is soil used to raise or level ground; it usually contains clay and fines and is not meant as a finished surface. In Key Largo, use fill dirt to build up yards, raise grades for drainage, backfill around foundations, or create gentle slopes away from structures — but avoid using it as the final driveway surface without a proper base layer.
Prices vary by supplier, moisture content, and haul distance, but expect rough delivered ranges of about $20 to $50 per ton in the Key Largo area. For an exact quote, check availability in your zip code on Hello Gravel or request a local supplier estimate, since island or bridge fees can increase cost.
Hello Gravel requires a 3-ton minimum order; local suppliers may have higher minimums, especially for island deliveries. Because Key Largo deliveries travel over limited routes, some haulers may set higher minimums or fees — confirm minimums and any island surcharges when you order.
Contractors place fill dirt in lifts (commonly 4 to 8 inches loose) and compact each lift with a plate compactor or small vibratory roller until it is firm and stable. In Key Largo, contractors also control moisture, avoid over-wetting, and may use geotextile fabric or stabilization additives where the native soils are very sandy or weak.
High annual rainfall, periodic tropical storms, and a high water table in Key Largo increase the risk of erosion, settling, and poor drainage for ordinary fill dirt. Protect finished grades with proper slope, swales, retaining structures, and erosion control; consider using select or engineered fill in areas prone to standing water.
Coverage depends on density, but typical ranges for fill dirt in Key Largo are: about 75 to 100 ft2 per ton at 3" depth, 35 to 50 ft2 per ton at 6" depth, and 20 to 25 ft2 per ton at 12" depth. Use these ranges to estimate material needs, and run the numbers with Hello Gravel's calculator for a precise order.
Yes — Monroe County and Florida regulators strictly limit fill in wetlands, mangroves, and near seawalls; some work may require permits from county, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Before placing fill near sensitive areas in Key Largo, contact local permitting offices and get professional guidance to avoid fines and remediation orders.
Main concerns are settlement, poor drainage, erosion during storms, and instability over high water table or organic soils. For driveways, contractors often place a compacted crushed-stone base over fill dirt and use geotextile fabric; for yard leveling, ensure good compaction, topsoil for planting, and proper grading to route water away from structures.
Fill dirt is best for raising grades and filling voids but has poor drainage and is not a stable wearing surface. Crushed stone is preferable for driveway bases because it drains and compacts well; clean fill has fewer organics and is better for structural use; sand drains well but can shift — choose material based on drainage, load, and local sea-level conditions.
Yes — expect delivery constraints like narrow roads, limited turning radii, and possible bridge or permit fees. Tell Hello Gravel about access limitations, property markers, and preferred drop spots at checkout; drivers will assess safety on arrival and tailgate spreading is available only at their discretion.
Clear the drop area of vehicles, low branches, and obstructions and mark the intended top-of-hill or drop location with visible flags or stakes. Make sure access roads can handle a heavy dump truck and notify Hello Gravel of any bridge/weight restrictions or HOA rules; a short pre-delivery call to confirm directions helps prevent delays.
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.
