Frequently Asked Questions - Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea.
Prices vary by supplier, distance, and volume, but delivered fill-dirt in the Lauderdale-By-The-Sea area commonly ranges from about $30 to $70 per cubic yard. A full tri-axle dump (roughly 12-15 cubic yards) will often cost between $350 and $1,000. For an exact price for your address, check your zip code on Hello Gravel and get a quote.
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet, so coverage depends on depth: it covers about 324 sq ft at 1 inch deep, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, and 81 sq ft at 4 inches. Use the formula: cubic yards needed = (area in sq ft x depth in feet) / 27 to estimate how much fill-dirt you need.
Yes, fill-dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is subsoil with low organic matter and minimal screening. In coastal Florida, locally sourced fill-dirt can be especially inexpensive, but import or hauling costs can raise the price, so compare quotes before ordering.
Fill-dirt is inert subsoil used to raise grade, fill holes, or provide a compactable base; it is not intended for planting. In the Lauderdale-By-The-Sea area fill-dirt is often sandier and contains less organic material than inland soils, so it compacts well but is poor for supporting plant growth without added topsoil or amendments.
A typical tri-axle dump truck in our network carries about 12 to 15 cubic yards, which is enough to cover roughly 3,888 to 4,860 sq ft at 1 inch depth (divide by depth to adjust). Exact coverage depends on truck size and how many cubic yards you order, so confirm cubic yards with your Hello Gravel quote.
Buy in bulk (minimum 3 tons through Hello Gravel), schedule standard delivery, and source locally to avoid long-haul fees. Also compare supplier quotes for the same zip code and consider picking up material yourself if you have an appropriate truck and permits.
A standard full-size pickup bed can often hold about 1 cubic yard if the load is level with the bed, but weight limits are the bigger concern. Fill-dirt can be heavy: a single cubic yard may weigh between about 1.0 and 1.6 tons depending on moisture and composition, so check your truck's payload rating before loading.
Tonnage varies with moisture and material type, but a tri-axle dump truck carrying 12 to 15 cubic yards of sandy fill-dirt typically contains roughly 8 to 14 tons. Weight limits and local road rules can affect how much a truck may legally carry, so suppliers in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea will often quote both cubic yards and estimated tons.
Calculate volume first: for 1,000 sq ft at 2 inches deep you need about 6.2 cubic yards (1000 x 0.1667 / 27). At local delivered rates of about $30 to $70 per cubic yard that equals roughly $185 to $435, not including any compaction or spreading fees; get a precise quote on Hello Gravel for your address.
For small residential jobs expect delivered tri-axle truck loads to range from about $350 to $1,000 depending on cubic yards, access, and distance. Hello Gravel’s checkout will show the supplier rates and any delivery fees for your zip code so you can compare options.
Fill-dirt is poor for planting because it lacks organic matter, it may settle over time requiring additional fill, and it can compact and impede drainage if not properly graded and compacted. In coastal areas like Lauderdale-By-The-Sea watch for high water table and salt influence, which can affect how you use fill for grading and landscaping.
Use fill-dirt when you need to raise grade, fill holes, build up base for hardscapes, or meet elevation requirements for drainage and flood mitigation. For planting beds, lawns, or gardens in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, use topsoil or mix in organic amendments rather than relying on fill-dirt alone.
The common 70/30 guideline refers to mixing about 70% topsoil with 30% organic amendment (compost) for planting beds; it does not apply to fill-dirt. For landscaping in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, use fill-dirt for structural grading but amend with topsoil/compost to create a suitable planting layer following the 70/30 or similar planting mixes.
Hello Gravel can schedule delivery of fill-dirt to your address and you can request tailgate spreading at checkout, but drivers perform spreading only at their discretion and Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading. For larger projects or guaranteed spreading/compaction, consider hiring a local contractor and note those requirements at checkout so suppliers can advise on feasibility.
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.
