Why Mary Esther Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Mary Esther is a growing coastal community with a city population 11,040 and sits within a fast-expanding regional market (metro area population 2.5+ million). Local conditions — a mild Hardiness Zone 8b climate, 228 sunny days per year, and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall — support year-round projects but also create demand for reliable site preparation and drainage work. With a growth rate of 2.50% annually, new construction, yard regrading, and infill projects are increasingly common. Homeowners need dependable aggregates like fill dirt to raise grades, backfill foundations, and establish stable base layers for patios and driveways. Because local geology and coastal weather affect soil movement and erosion, Mary Esther residents look for consistent material quality, clear delivery scheduling, and practical guidance to keep projects on track.Popular Projects in Mary Esther This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Mary Esther Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Mary Esther.
Yes. Fill dirt generally costs less than topsoil because it has little organic matter and is sold for bulk grading and backfill rather than planting. In Mary Esther you can expect lower per-yard prices for fill dirt, but final cost depends on delivery distance, truck size, and whether the material contains sand or shell fragments common to West Florida.
Prices vary by supplier and truckload size, but expect a typical range of about $15 to $40 per cubic yard depending on material quality and delivery. For an accurate price for your address in Mary Esther, request a quote on Hello Gravel — we show local supplier rates and delivery fees up front.
Fill dirt is subsoil with low organic content used to raise grade, fill holes, and support structures; it is not intended as a planting medium. In West Florida fill dirt often contains sand, shell fragments, and coarser particles, so it drains quickly and shouldn’t be used alone for lawns or gardens without adding topsoil or compost.
Coverage depends on truck size and the depth you need. A typical tri-axle load is roughly 10 to 14 cubic yards — that would cover about 3,240 to 4,536 sq ft at 1 inch depth, about 324 to 454 sq ft at 1 foot depth, or about 810 to 1,134 sq ft at 4 inches. Exact numbers vary with the truck and how the material is measured, so use Hello Gravel’s material calculator or ask for a site-specific estimate.
Weight varies with moisture and sand content, but a reasonable range for fill dirt is about 0.7 to 0.9 cubic yards per ton. In sandy West Florida soils you might be closer to 0.9 yd3 per ton; ask your supplier for the density they use if you need an exact conversion for coverage or compaction calculations.
One cubic yard is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube (27 cubic feet). It will cover about 324 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, 108 sq ft at 3 inches, and 27 sq ft at 1 foot. Use these conversions to estimate how much you need for grading or filling low spots in Mary Esther yards.
Yes, fill dirt can be used to raise and level low areas, but it should be placed in thin lifts and compacted to reduce future settling. Because Mary Esther has sandy, sometimes high water table soils, plan for compaction and add a layer of topsoil if you intend to grow grass or plants on the finished grade.
No, 2 inches is typically insufficient. For a driveway base you need several inches of compacted structural fill or crushed stone beneath the surface material; for lawn leveling, 2 inches may work for minor smoothing, but 4 to 6 inches of fill compacted in lifts is safer to prevent settling.
Cost depends on local material price, truck size, and delivery distance; a typical tri-axle load (about 10–14 yd3) can range widely in price. For the most accurate delivered price to Mary Esther, request a quote through Hello Gravel — we show supplier pricing, minimum order requirements (3 tons), and delivery options.
No—fill dirt is poor for plant growth because it lacks organic matter and nutrients. For any planting or lawn, top with 4–6 inches of quality topsoil or blend fill dirt with compost at about a 70/30 topsoil-to-compost ratio to create a suitable planting medium.
The 70/30 rule usually refers to mixing about 70% topsoil with 30% compost to create a fertile planting mix. If you must incorporate fill dirt into landscaping, keep fill dirt below the top 4–6 inches and use a 70/30 topsoil/compost layer on top for lawns and gardens so plants have proper nutrients and drainage.
Hello Gravel’s minimum order is 3 tons; depending on local density that’s roughly 2.5 to 3.5 cubic yards of fill dirt. At 3 yd3 you could cover about 972 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 162 sq ft at 2 inches, or 81 sq ft at 4 inches — request a quote and use our material calculator for a site-specific estimate in Mary Esther.

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.
