Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper than topsoil because it is subsoil with little organic matter and less processing. In Miami Lakes you can expect topsoil to cost noticeably more (often $30 to $60 per cubic yard) because it is screened and enriched for planting, while fill dirt is priced lower for mass grading and backfill work.

For a 20 cubic-yard order in Miami Lakes, expect a ballpark cost of about $240 to $700 based on typical local rates of $12 to $35 per cubic yard. Larger orders sometimes lower the per-yard price, so check Hello Gravel for volume pricing and delivery options specific to your address.

One cubic yard of fill dirt is a 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube (27 cubic feet). Spread out, it will cover about 108 square feet at a 3-inch depth or about 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth; use these figures to estimate coverage for grading or filling low spots.

A full-size pickup bed typically holds between about 1/2 and 1 cubic yard safely, depending on bed size and payload rating, so one cubic yard may be close to or exceed a safe load for many trucks. Check your truck's payload capacity before loading, and consider ordering delivery by dump truck for larger quantities or heavier, wet fill in Miami's humid climate.

Yes, bulk fill dirt is almost always cheaper per cubic yard than bagged dirt because bagging and retail handling add cost. For landscaping or large grading jobs in Miami Lakes, buying bulk through Hello Gravel is usually more economical and saves delivery trips.

You should not lay sod directly over uncompacted, low-organic fill dirt. In Miami Lakes, where native soils are often sandy and drainage is important, add 4 to 6 inches of quality topsoil or a topsoil mix over the fill, grade and compact properly, and then install sod for best establishment and moisture retention.

No. Fill dirt is subsoil used for building up grade or backfilling and contains little organic matter, while topsoil is the planting layer enriched with organic content. For lawns and gardens in Miami Lakes you should place topsoil over fill dirt before planting or sodding.

One cubic yard is about 27 cubic feet. If your wheelbarrow holds roughly 2 cubic feet, one cubic yard equals about 13 to 14 wheelbarrow loads; adjust if your wheelbarrow capacity differs.

To estimate, use the formula (length x width x depth) / 27. For a typical 100 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway with a 3-inch fill depth: 100 x 10 x 0.25 = 250 cubic feet, which converts to about 9.3 cubic yards. Multiply that by local per-yard pricing to get a cost estimate and add 5-10% for compaction and settlement.

Local contracted dump trucks used by Hello Gravel are commonly tri-axle trucks that carry about 10 to 12 cubic yards of loose fill dirt per load. Smaller local haul trucks may carry less; we provide truck-size details on quotes so you know what to expect for delivery placement and site access.

Miami Lakes has sandy, limestone-influenced soils, high water tables, and heavy seasonal rains, so drainage and compaction matter more here than in many inland areas. When using fill dirt, plan for proper grading, settling allowance, and often a layer of topsoil for plantings; consult local codes or your HOA before changing site elevations.
