Why Key West Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Key West homeowners (population 33,341) are managing steady coastal growth and demanding materials that stand up to seaside conditions. The broader metro area (2.5+ million) and a 2.50% annual growth rate mean more lot grading, yard renovations, and small-scale construction projects around town. With about 228 sunny days per year and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b, properties need materials that handle both intense sun and periodic heavy rain. Homeowners often look for dependable aggregates to level yards, build foundation backfill, raise low spots, and firm up driveways. Fill Dirt is a go-to choice for these needs because it provides structural mass beneath paving and landscaping and helps reduce uneven settling when placed and compacted correctly.Popular Projects in Key West This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Key West Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Key West.
Prices vary with supplier, distance, and quality, but expect a ballpark of about $12 to $40 per cubic yard delivered in the Key West area. For a small driveway raise (about 9 cubic yards after compaction allowance), material cost alone might run roughly $110 to $360; final price depends on delivery fees, tipping, and whether you need spreading or compaction services.
Yes — Hello Gravel coordinates local suppliers and dump‑truck delivery to Key West addresses when available in your zip code. Total price depends on the truck size (tri‑axle typically carries about 10–14 cubic yards), hauling distance, local tipping fees, and any site access challenges; request a quote through our site for a precise total.
A 20x20 area raised 6 inches is 400 sq ft × 0.5 ft = 200 cu ft, or about 7.4 cubic yards raw. Allow about 20% for compaction and settling, so order roughly 8.8–9.0 cubic yards, which is about 10–11 tons using a typical conversion of ~1.2 tons per cubic yard.
Fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it lacks organic matter and is used mainly for bulk raise and compaction. For cost‑effective site prep in Key West, use fill dirt to build grade and then cap with crushed stone or a base mix rather than topsoil, which is better reserved for planting and lawns.
You should not use fill dirt as the wearing surface for a driveway; it compacts unevenly and can wash out in wet, coastal conditions like Key West. Use fill dirt only to raise or level the subgrade, then finish with a compactable base mix or crushed stone for durability and drainage.
Costs vary, but a rough example: about 9 cubic yards of fill dirt ($110–$360), plus 4–6 cubic yards of crushed stone for a 3–4 inch cap ($150–$400), delivery fees, and basic spreading/compaction labor ($200–$800). Total DIY installation costs typically fall in the $500 to $1,600 range; get an exact quote from Hello Gravel for your address and scope.
Two inches is too thin for a driveway and will wear quickly. For Key West’s sandy soils and occasional flooding, plan on at least 3 to 4 inches of compacted gravel over a well‑compacted subgrade, and consider a thicker base (4–6 inches) or geotextile stabilization for heavier vehicles and long‑term durability.
Hello Gravel partners can source compactable base mixes such as crusher run, stone dust, or certain crushed stone blends that lock together when compacted. In coastal areas like Key West, contractors often prefer angular crushed limestone or crusher run for good interlock, and some customers use recycled asphalt or stabilizers for even firmer surfaces; availability varies by supplier.
Bulk delivery is usually the most convenient and often the most cost‑effective option when you consider truck rental and time; local pickup can save money if you have appropriate hauling and dropping equipment. Hello Gravel negotiates local rates and may offer lower per‑yard pricing on larger orders, so check your zip code and request a quote to see volume discounts and delivery options.
Yes — Hello Gravel supports delivery‑only DIY orders where available in Key West. Minimum order is 3 tons, standard lead time is 2+ business days, and next‑day delivery is sometimes available for orders placed before noon CST with an additional fee; optional tailgate spreading may be available at the driver’s discretion.

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.
